I trained at The Physique Warehouse with "Coach Clive" today and it was very different than training by myself - incredibly brutal, we focused on legs and at one point I thought I might cry, I literally could not walk down the stairs afterwards. We used no free weights - just machines - that I have never seen before. Apparently the "old school" machines are the best and I will never be able to achieve the body I want using the equipment at the gym I currently go to which is slightly disheartening.

Positively however I was twice as strong as Clive thought and he admitted himself that he threw me in at the deep end to see how far I would push myself (i think a vomit meant pretty far!). He re-emphasised to me to stop worrying about body fat and focus on size and strength until January.

Clive also re-aligned my hips - took a few cracks but just makes me realise how important it is to stretch after every session.
