JK vs BigRed
-
Spin... one of my workmates does a lunch time session and nearly falls asleep in the afternoons - looks brutal as an outsider but it must be a super workout! Will be interested to hear how things go when you crack into that new programme - always fun to mix it up.
-
Spin is mean - burns megacalories and first thing in the morning I doubt there is much better cardio for a fat burning session.<br />
<br />
Had a check in with my PT this morning. Weight 82.8kg and body fat 16% which is slightly higher than last body fat reading in mid Jan but he reckons it is due to my hyrdration being down (as this was first thing in morning vs arvo last time) so still very comparable. Chest has grown 4cm, waist down 2.2cm (woot) and biceps up 2 (right) and 2.5cm (left) and are now even haha. <br />
<br />
Told PT I had been mixing it up a bit and he said he thought 3 days of a compound workout were still the best bet for me but wanted me to up the sets and lower the reps. So now wants 5 sets of squats at current starting weight of 12 reps at 80kg for warmup and then 8 at 90kg, 100kg, 100kg and a drop set to finish with no rest between the last two. Similar deal for deadlifts but of course more weight. Think will do squats in 2 of the 3 workouts and deadlifts in the other. <br />
<br />
Only had 40mins in there today so cranked out some leg fun...squats, leg press, hammie curls, quad curls (or whatever ya call them in that seated machine). Good times -
Ouch!!<br />
<br />
Even worse than I thought.<br />
<br />
Spin instructor was away and replacement decided that instead of spin we would do some crazy barbell based workout to music. So different to what I am use to usually doing and wow never knew I was so unco! Struggled to get in to the rythym but cranked it all out. Felt like light weights at first but ya dont put them down often at all over the 45mins and by the end of it I was well and truely poked! -
What sort of stuff JK? Was it an Olympic barbell or the weighted smaller stuff like a pump class?
-
Beginning to fear Thursday mornings....<br />
<br />
Got in there at 6today and cranked out 3 sets body weight pullups to warm up and then straight in to the deadlifts. First set 12 of 70kg as a warmup and 1 set of 8 at 110kg, 2 sets of 8 at 130kg followed by a drop set of 10 (well maybe only about 7 or
at 70kg to finished....nearly dam spewed! Had to have a sit down afterwards before moving on the military press. Feels good now though! -
Super squat saturday today - 6 sets of the suckers with my 2 heaviest sets being 8 reps of 110kg. <br />
<br />
Also tried the old 75% of BW for max reps on the bench and did 23 reps @ 65kg which is a PB on that.<br />
<br />
Oh and weighed in bang on 85kg. Feeling good! -
Early morning squat session following by spin today. Legs are feeling great right now but can see myself struggling a wee bit later tonight and tomorrow morning.<br />
<br />
Got told this morning that my usual spinning instructor is gonna be on holiday for the next 2 weeks which means the tough girl (with the massive implants) is gonna be taking over. Always good for an intense workout! -
Been a bit sore last few days and its a weird pain, like a nerve pain running from my shoulders down my arms.<br />
<br />
Looks like I may have a shoulder impingment so off the bench press for a while and will be seeing my PT tomorrow to go through some exercises and stretchs to try sort it out. -
Good stretching session this morning. Got a few new exercises to include tomorrow rather then bench and already feeling a bit less tight in the chest and shoulders.<br />
<br />
Also had an awesome abs session today - only 12mins in total but only about 90 seconds rest throughout. Hard work! -
Been a slow week.<br />
<br />
Managed to fracture two ribs last sunday so still a bit tender. Tried to do a spin class on monday but found it pretty hard going on the sprints. Hills fine.<br />
<br />
Went in to the actual gym for the first time all week today and did 3 sets of light squats with little discomfort and some shoulder and biceps work. Was super keen for deadlifts as havn't done any for about 10 days but there was no way I could even get to start position. No abs work obviously!<br />
<br />
Gonna see how it all feels on Tues eitherwise may skip again
