Building myself back up
-
So legs today. First proper leg day in a month so didn't go too ballistic. Feeling OK.
Am also doing a good ab workout. Jackknife crunches followed by those Russian twists with medicine ball. Grinds the shit out of your gut.
Got some cool crossfit lined up tomorrow.
-
Ok wasn't that cool. Got up and felt like running outside so headed down to the oval and ran 10 laps, 5 with burpee pullups. Was really nice and thankfully not so hot.
-
So Friday back and arm tickle. Incorporated some burpee pullups in the middle of this. Excellent stuff. Felt it the next day.
Really really happy to be back training properly after a month away. Makes me happy and I need that.
-
Saturday was off.
Sunday did 10 laps of oval stopping 5 times for leg ups and jackknife situps and 4 times for chin ups. Was bloody hot so was free after that.Had Taco Bell for dinner. Have heard about this a million times in films and on TV. Was absolutely packed. Was cheap and nothing special.
Monday: Chest and biceps. In a bit of a hurry due to boys being back to school. Went OK, just felt something was lacking.
-
Tuesday: shoulders. Not time for tris.
Yeah well smashed. Also great is jackknife situps with Russian twists with medicine ball. That absolutely grinds the guts. Easily the best ab workout I've come across in terms of feeling the burn.
Today: 10 laps of oval, 5 with burpee pullups. Also did the ab superset at the end. Bloody nice way to start the day.
-
Slack at updates.
Sunday: AM - 10 laps of oval with 5 burpee pullup and dip (x10) stops. Loving this exercise.
PM - 1km swim. Body felt like jelly after this.
Monday: Legs. Nicely hammered.
Today: shoulders. On point. Very good session. -
Damn 9 days. Was in NZ for the Weezer concert (yes Weezer dammit not Foo Fighters) so fair bit of drinking and KFC but also managed a long run and there was heaps of walking. Auckland is beautiful btw. Pity about the rain though. Fark it was pissing down at the concert.
Anyway, back to it this week. Just wasn't in the mood on Monday but hit chest and biceps extra hard on Tuesday then did the laps plus burpee pullups run on Wednesday. Today was a good shoulder session.

Fark should have hooked up. I'm not a big fan of the Foo, but damn Dave Grohl is brilliant. Pity about the rain though. We were close to the front for Weezer and I didn't notice the rain or the cold. But as soon as we left the crowd I felt cold and soaked. We didn't stay to the end and unfortunately missed the duet with Rivers.
-
Doh!
Ha ha I just got face blanked by the wife for saying I missed out on catching up with you fullas
Ruthless lolWe were in the West stand - just under cover with a really good view.
I love Weezer and was a solid Foo fan for the first three albums, and then singles and the odd extra from the rest of their stuff. They always have at least one song per album that froths me up. Grohl was a 100% GC, amped the crowd and paced the gig really well. The duo with Rivers was fucking cool. They were both fanboi'n out hardcore. It was beautiful.

Pissed off I missed that, but we were struggling out there. Didn't help that my mate who lives in Auckland was constantly plying us with ice cold beers. Irish coffee would have probably been more suitable.
I noticed that people were being treated for the cold in the medical tent. Remind me again why I live in Brisbane

Back and triceps today. Totally farked up the order for this programme. Should be legs, shoulders, crossfit, chest/biceps then back/triceps but started with chest. Oh the humanity. Anyway, back and triceps today. Not too bad.

In Auckland in Summer.
Christ on a bike what a pussy generation we are.
As long as I caught 'Buddy Holly' I woulda been happy. Not a massive fan of the Weez. Grohl and the boys are a different story.

Just because it's summer doesn't mean it can't get cold. Auckland is still in NZ.
I lived in Norway for more than a decade so I'm hardly a lil bitch with regard to cold weather, but it was bloody cold. For those stupid enough not to wear any protection from the rain it would have been absolutely freezing. Kind of wish we had stand tickets but then again it was awesome to be so close to the stage.

So... Sunday was run plus burpee pullups and dips in the morning then 1km swimming in the afternoon. Rooted.
Monday: Legs. Nicely annihilated.
Tuesday: shoulders. Hammered.
-
Got to get better at updating.
Sunday: am: 10 laps including burpee pullups and dips.
Pm: 1km swim.Monday: Legs. Good session.
-
Gee I really followed up on that previous post. 9 days is slack arse.
So
Monday: Legs. Am enjoying starting off the week with this. Don't hammer them nearly as much as some other posters but am a fan of drop sets on the leg extensions.
Tuesday: Shoulders. Very intensive. Shoulder press, front raises, side raises, Incline lifts, shrugs.
Wednesday: 10 laps with laps 3-7 with burpee pullups. Farked me up a bit that did.
Eating is ridiculously clean right now. Some variant of chicken breast and rice for most lunches and dinners.
This is the most sustained and focussed training I've had for a very long time. Regardless of workload (and there has been a shit load recently) I will sacrifice an hour of sleep rather than the morning workout. I think it makes a massive difference to my life. It also makes me a good role model for my kids who swim 4 times a week plus rugby. Why should they put in the hard work if their old man just sits on the sofa with beer resting on gut. I just despair to think that I'm training 3 times as hard at 39 than I was at 19. Ah well, better late than never.
