In April 2019, I have been slacking off to the max after school while mostly playing video games in my family store.
I'll admit, I've been playing so much that I consistently stayed up until up to 4 AM and woke up at 1 PM. Some of those all-nighters were spent making blog posts, not just gaming.
I've also been unenthusiastic about working out. Besides April 30 (the date of this particular training session), I've only worked out 3 times on April. I wanted Mom and Dad to rest in the afternoon while I stay in the store, and I'm not allowed to go out while the summer heat is too strong.
I was actually unenthusiastic to go on April 30, even though that date was convenient for Coach G-Force.
Fortunately, Mom and Dad wanted to go workout on this day, so I went along inside our car. (I'm not allowed to drive by myself, and I don't dare do it; I'm still a noob.)
Interestingly, when I went inside the gym, Boulder (my fake name for one of the trainers) said, "The champ is back!" I think Coach G-Force told all the staff that I'm coming for training.
I was too tired to have 12 rounds of sparring, so I didn't ask for it. Coach G-Force did ask if I wanted regular sparring, and I said yes.
He also asked if I walked on my way to Gold's Gym, and I said no, so we started with the standard mittwork. I took it slowly, but got bad with dodging and complicated combos.
The first sparring round was surprising. Although I absentmindedly started with fast, medium-power punches to random body parts, I got two clean hits on the first 30 seconds, one of which was on Coach G-Force's left temple and was caught on camera. (Yes, I brought my camera, but I don't have a cameraman.)
Later in the round, however, Coach G-Force played defensively and I lost a lot of energy, so I couldn't get a hard hit on him. My defenses were lazy, so he got at least 2 semi-clean hits on me, and I admit, I flinched after one clean strike to the abs. The others barely hurt me, but I still got disappointed. (Activating "rage mode" would not be a good idea in the early game.)
The second round was (sort of) the opposite. Coach G-Force got up to 7 semi-clean hits, while I got lazy to attack. However, I got 2 more clean hits to the left temple, with one knocking Coach G-Force on his knees at the very last second. I also spammed punches in the mid-game, causing Coach G-Force to be knocked onto a support column near the camera. (WALL HIT! I guess that's one way to pierce defenses.)
Coach G-Force knew that I was tired and losing power, so he stopped sparring and did more mittwork...and I did worse at long combos.
I was then asked to do a drill where I put my front foot between cones while punching, and stepping back before moving to the next set of cones. I quickly got tired.
On the drill where I alternated my front foot between cones, I almost vomited on the third set, and Coach G-Force told me to stop, and ended the session.
Nothing significant happened later, other than me merging my 5★ Robin in Fire Emblem Heroes. (He's my favorite Fire Emblem character; second is Ephraim.)
Mom is initially willing to buy me new training sessions, but I need to discuss with her further before making the decision.
Oh well, if I don't get lazy and get better sleeping (and studying) habits, I might get those 12 sparring rounds in one day.
