Just returned from my trip home in Slovenia and Im tired but excited to get things rolling in the new year! It was great to see everyone and spend time with family and friends and as always time flies when you’re having fun.
I fit a lot into the trip as I wanted to take my wife to Venice (I will have a short video and some thoughts from that trip) and spend a couple of days in the mountain cabin while also getting in my training. Even though there was tons of excuses why I shouldn’t train, I wanted to stay on point in achieving my goals and make sure that a couple of extra meals go where they need to (hint: muscles). On top of that the training helped me get more energy as I had jet lag for about a week!
While I was in Slovenia, my friend and brother told me that they have been training olympic weightlifting once a week in this old gym, and that I need to join them for a training session. As I am always intrigued I obliged, especially because they told me that it was real old school and they even had some kettlebells that are like a 100 years old. After arriving I realized that the coach is a former national team weightlifter which made it real good, because I have been meaning to work on my olympic lifting form.
So how big was this place and what type of equipment was in it considering that top level athletes and even olympic athletes have trained there (and still do!). Check it out for yourself…. (more…)
