<p>Went with the wife to one of the outdoor sessions put on by les mills down at the beach. 30mins of high intensity with lots of squats, lunges, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, burpees, pressups, sprints etc<br><br>
I gave it heaps and was right on my limiter most the way through. The PT chick noticed it too and came over after, gave me a high 5 and said I killed it. Wife wasn't that impressed.<br><br>
Jeff Wilson and his wife Adine were there too getting a sweat on.</p>

<p>Was it the high 5 from the PT or the bum slap from Goldie that got your wife salty!! ha ha </p>

Fairly high intensity session which was required given recent eating. Sweated hard right through. Will roll again tonight as bought a foam roller for home earlier in the week -
Wow major doms in the glutes and quads from yesterday's antics. Got it good. Very easy ride and painful roll out today. <br><br>
Today's main workout was shoulders and arms - 75mins worth I reckon. Pretty good session.<br><br>
Weights back up a bit due to more carbs (and cals in diet) and sitting at 74kg and about 11% which feels good. Semi shredded with some resemblance of abs but not sickly lean or anything. Wife said looked good on beach on Monday but that I also looked like a poser now lol <br><br>
Big eats coming tomorrow, can't wait -

Been a pretty decent year and happy wth progress. Right now I'm about 74kg so light as, but much lower body fat than previous at around 10.5%. Still not got the size I'm after but feeling (and apparently looking) good. <br><br>
