>Good work, everyone.
>Training is finished.
>Lately I’ve been allowed to train in various places, and today, like every day, it was training again.
>Today’s was at a men’s promotion.
>It was a small group, training alongside female trainees while being taught by male wrestlers.
>It’s obvious, but the basic training is tough!!!
>200 squats
>20 jump squats × 3 sets
>20 push-ups × 3 sets
>20 “lion” push-ups × 3 sets
>Neck presses—10 each to the left, right, forward, and back
>Bridge hold, 2 minutes
>What else did we do…?
>I forgot, but anyway, it’s been a while since I did weight training this seriously. It’s rough!
>Since I’ve debuted, I can’t exactly say “I can’t do this” when the trainees can. I’m pushing myself to the limit.
>I especially struggle with push-ups.
>If I go a while without doing them, I can hardly manage. It’s bad.
>Do you know lion push-ups?
>They’re the kind where you spread your legs wide, slide your upper body forward, then push yourself back up. I hate them.
>Neck presses are also tough.
>As the name suggests, someone presses on your neck to add resistance while you move, and by the end it feels like your sternocleidomastoid muscle is about to cramp. I hate that too.
>After about an hour of this muscle training, finally we did rolling exercises.
>Forward rolls, backward rolls—spinning around makes me feel like I’m going to get sick. Somehow I endure it. Embarrassing.
>When I first started pro wrestling, I went to personal training four times a week, so it was easy, but if you slack off it’s no good.
>Consistency is important in everything.
>I’m working hard on this back-to-basics training as I prepare for my return.
>X DAY is steadily approaching.
>I really want a lot of people to come see my return match. I’m doing my best for that day.
>Sakimura Ryoko, aiming to restart.
