General Workouts

It probably would mate, but with working shifts and a 3 hour a day commute, I can only gain on a day off or in the morning before I start a late turn....
On the one hand consistency with regular training times is a problem for me, but on the other hand, my body never know what's going to hit it and when it's going to hit it![emoji16]

Haven't been to the gym in about 2 weeks, I've concentrated on my running, doing around 8k 3 or 4 times a week to build up my cardio.
Was going today, but just don't feel like it (crap weather syndrome)

This was a quad killer! By round 3 I was barely able to stand up straight and only completed it by sheer force of will alone.
And today.... I'm in pieces! Nearly missed my stop in the train because I couldn't get out of the seat and to the doors quick enough.  And stairs...  Oh my Lord, every step felt like my thighs were being whipped by bamboo canes...  It's now about 30 hours since training and it stings!

Hells bells, my legs are killing me today! Can barely walk! But it's not the pain of injury though...

This was today's effort.
Felt pretty good afterwards so I went on to to do :
3x10 25 straight arm rope pull downs (for the back)
3 x 15  7kg single arm bicep curls (right video still feeling the effects of tendinitis)
10 x hanging knee raises
3 x 1 minute punching on punchbag 45s rest
1 minute left leg kicking the bag and 45s rest
1 minute right leg kicking the bag -  45s rest.
Repeat both
60s punching flat out.

Then i went on the boditrax and found to my dismay that since the  14th October my numbers are moving in the wrong direction.
To summarise, since then I've put on  2g of fat and lost 1.2kg of muscle mass.

Not over overly bothered by the loss in muscle mass but the increase in fat bothers me.

But then I thought about it,  I've not been training as regularly as I should and  2 weeks ago I had a couple of days on the beer and doughnuts so I reckon if I had taken my measurements a week ago then they would've been a lot worse!
Still, it's all about personal responsibility isn't it.  It's all about my choices, especially as I know the consequences of them so I can't claim ignorance....

Today's workout....

Not trained much in the past few weeks and had a week  on a beach holiday all inclusive where I expected to put on a few pounds... Mega food,  ice cream, booze and spirits... All day everyday...
Lost 1kg in muscle, gained  2.3kg of fat!  But all in all not too bad.

So back to the workout...
Killer for the legs,  killer for the abs,  but the pushup thing wasn't too bad and the  30s rest seemed to only last 10 seconds...  I think my quads will be aching for the next couple of days..

reiteration

yep, pretty much the same for me when we were away last week... mondays kettlebell class was hard haha...

I'm so jealous! Have this bloody forearm tendonitis thing going on and it can be excruciating. Just carrying groceries is enough.

Missed a update or two..  This was Fridays one..
                                                                               
Started with  4 x 2min of skipping then went into this.

Then today... No skipping first so I had a bit more energy..
                                                                               

Felt great afterwards so decided to do some deadlifts..
First time in months..
3 x 70kg
3 x 80kg
3 x 90kg
3 x 100kg
2 x 110kg
2 x 120kg

My pb is 130kg.  Still felt strong so put it into  132.5kg.

Couldn't get the damn thing off the floor! I was absolutely gutted! Had about 5 goes at it too.  

I know I've spent the last  3 months  only doing bodyweight training and I've had the bicep tendinitis (which held out fine) but I was still peed off because I felt good!
Went over and did 3 x 8 overhead press at 40kg after that, just on anger and frustration!

I'm about to start a set of  7 night shifts so I'm unsure when I'll be training next..
