Let's try again...
-
whenever I feel a bug or something coming on, I try to knock back at least 3-4l of water during the work day, usually hthe most) elps flush the system (usually only need to do it for 2 days)
-
Couple of days of hacking up chunky phlegm and I'm going mad not doing exercise. Only have time for a quick weights session at home before Mrs TA goes to Zumba:<br />
<br />
Pull ups x 7 (max)<br />
14kg dbell Hammer x 5 into bicep curl x 5<br />
50kg bbell Shoulder x5 into shrug x 5 into deadlift x 5 into bent row x 5<br />
20 x pushup<br />
20 x squat<br />
20 x lunge left then right<br />
<br />
Circuit 1: 8:20. Pathetic, but it included typing up each exercise as I went. Two minute rest<br />
Circuit 2: 6:58 <br />
<br />
Cat voms x 12 to finish after a two minute rest -
Dropped the car off for a service this morning, and walked back to work - 3 km in 27 minutes. Straight to the gym for 22 minutes doing<br />
<br />
[b]Military press[/b]<br />
6 x 20<br />
10 x 45<br />
10 x 45<br />
10 x 45<br />
Time to increase weight here - probably 50<br />
<br />
[b]Bench press [/b]<br />
10 x 60<br />
10 x 60<br />
10 x 60<br />
Again, increase required<br />
<br />
[b]Pull ups[/b] - 5, 5, 5. I'm ignoring chin ups for now to spend my energy on pull up technique and Haddin, as per kea's advice<br />
<br />
[b]Dips[/b] - 5, 3, then failed to get to 4.<br />
<br />
Stuck to upper body as I didn't have time for everything else. -
hhhmmm, Matt Dunning...<br />
<br />
Greatest motivation some of those old pics!! -
Hi Nick, maybe this is use for you, just some thoughts...if no use, sorry, no worries<br />
I think you would benefit from doing more dips and pull ups, like me. Plus with your other stuff to be more rounded.<br />
For dips, just do them once a week, do at least 5 sets, and break 5 minutes between each-do some other stuff. Just try to build up your rep #s and become comfortable. Later, shorten the breaks.<br />
For pull ups your goal is to do 510 in 10 minutes. My goal is 512 in 10 minutes. It's very hard so I'm going to push myself harder. For you, I think[size=4] something like this:[/size]<br />
once a week, 15-20 minutes, 3 perfect form pull ups, at least 12 sets. Increase to 4 after doing it successfully twice.<br />
once a week, thrice of 3 minutes of: 1 pull up, step away, back, 1 pull up, repeat.<br />
once a week after a leg workout, do my ab workout (pull up and hold, still torso, move legs like walking, repeat 20 times*3)...just to stretch out your back after compression, and also improve the abs. -
Big lunch today. Well I had a salmon baguette and salad but cleaned up some of the kids' fish and chips, along with my Asahi and some gelato. Hot day, well worth it <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
Went for a run when I got home - was going to be 10km but the body wasn't willing. Lungs and legs still not right after the phlegmish week. Pulled up at 3 km, stuffed after 16:31. Walked another 3.93 in 32:33. -

Nom nom nom, knocked back a few of those after we stripped the gib in a room over the weekend. A lovely drop - nice and dry! -
Yeah paying for the exercise now though - antibiotics. At least there is an end in sight but I hate antibiotics. At home today, hitting the fluids hard and dosing up on drugs to let the body recover. Won't be any exercise this week until I go camping on the weekend.

Karate last night. Felt awful going in but awesome coming out. No other exercise this week due to illness and I'm a little itchy.<br />
<br />
Have also been eating a bit much as I'm starving in recovery mode, so the weigh in this week will probably be shit. -
Bike ride this arv - 20.68 km in 54:50. Want looking to strain too hard, just test the lungs and kegs now I'm recovered from the quest if this illness.<br />
<br />
Eating still crap. Will weigh in tomorrow but not much point given the last couple of weeks. -

Least successful weight loss target period on record for me (1.2 kg lost in 10 weeks). Should have stopped when I was 90.1! Anyway, the effect of sugar on my digestive system had been most instructional these last two weeks.<br />
<br />
Eating discipline well gone at this point, but I'll take a couple of weeks away from recording it, let this lung/nasal thing clear, and get back on the horse some time in April.
