  "I don't know where the limit is but I know where it's not" (Josef Ajram)

  2010-03-22 Woke up at 11.00 AM. The latest I've woken up in years. Got in late to Malaga and after half the luggage of our plane was missing it was a late bed time. Much needed sleep though. A lot of practice, a lot of tension and anger from my part and good gym training last week so the sleep felt great. 
  
  Pierre tried to set up the intensity of the workouts and the order of them so I will feel really fresh from tomorrow on. Right now, I still feel really tired.
  When starting with Pierre last June my left knee was really damaged and needed rest and rehabilitation. So, our focus was to fix the knee and to strengthen the whole body but in the right order. First of all, I spent hours on the bike to build strength and stamina in the leg muscles. Secondly, I had to make my core stronger. It was really week. I couldn't even do 20 good sit-ups in a row. After the core got stronger, we could start adding weight and as you have seen in the videos, we do all kind of olympic lifting and other weight training exercises. Those exercises are great and you feel like a million dollars after doing them. For me, laying down on a bench doing bench press doesn't give me the strength and power I need for golf. And it certainly doesn't give me the same satisfaction feeling and rush in the body as a full out "clean and jerk" exercise where you move the bar all the way from the floor up to straight arms.
  But, the one thing that I've just discovered is how much I love running. I get a big kick out of it and feel great after!!! Tried interval training the other day and wow! It's great to clear the head as well from everything that goes on around. 
  
  So, with no clothes today (only got my bag) I've to borrow some (hopefully clean) clothes of Miklko Ilonen and start practising short game. Hopefully there will be some other guys there who are up for some competitions around the green. 
  
  Usually the in-flight magazines on airplanes are booring I think, but yesterday one changed my life I think. Read about a guy named Josef Ajram who is an extreme sport athlete. He competes in the most outrages races around the world and is a stockbroker at the same time. Visit his website here. He has the one of the best quotes tattood on his chest; "I don't know where the limit is but I know where it's not". That's a great quote and I got a lot more motivated to train harder and better.

  Tjena Alex!
  Hur gör du för att hitta rätt tempo/rytm i svingen när du tränar/värmer upp? några speciella övningar eller drillar du använder dig av?
  
  mvh Joel

  Last week is last week it's come and gone, the beauty about this week you can start again with a new focus and motivation for the week ahead and make something positive happen.
  Good look in Spain and go and beat everyone in the tournament, just think of lifting that trophy come Sunday.

  I've been away for a few days and just caught up with your blogs. Hope you are feeling better and a bit more positive now. :-)
  Keep it going and stay focus. Your day will come. Your fans are all behind you.
  
  Hope your luggage has turned up now ... or you need to go shopping for clothes.
