So bit over a month ago this young guy approached me in the gym and we started chatting, during that he mentioned the next day he was going for surgery, we took few moments together and prayed over this.
With school back and wife at work i have been training at different times of the morning rather than my normal 4 or 5am start
Today I was back to a 5am start and first person I see as I walked in was this young bloke - he was so excited to see me and tell me his operation went well. He said phsyio had given him ok to do light workouts and could start training.
The longer I train the more I realise real gym people men or women are the most supportive group of people. We will cheer push and spot randoms we only ever see in the gym while mates or family you have know forever will tell you to calm down or you taking this fitness thing too seriously.
Anyway this set me up for a awesome but delayed workout as we chatted prob for a good 45min ha ha
Let get to the workout
