Catch up as usual.
Felt I got the balance right this week and might do it this way going forward. That includes the eating as well. Bit difficult to know when to hit the weights, when to do cardio and when and what to eat. Been feeling really fatigued and weak heading into Friday and that's never good.
Anyway, ran on Friday instead of doing weights and then smashed the weights on Saturday. Felt great because the body had been given a little break from the tin and on Saturday was desperate to gets my pump on. Ate well, but was still pretty active with housework on Sunday and then swimming went really well this morning.
Going to try and replicate this and see how I go. Ultimately it just means more carbs and switching a day around. Sometimes a bit of tweaking is all that's required.
Mrs not putting out bro ?
Ha ha.
On the contrary, she places massive demands on my energy reserves. Need to eat and lift more tin or I'll waste away! It's pretty farking cool 😁. -

Whilst your old mate MN5 isn't quite at Arnie levels I think its fair to say his opinion is wrong.

If getting a pump was like coming then I'd fall asleep after my first few sets!

TR doesnt like when @MN5 talks about himself in the 3rd person.

So....
Did legs on Monday night. Have to up my game in this department. Youngest was giving me shit about my chicken legs the other day. Brutally honest little shit. It's not like I don't train legs regularly, but maybe the intensity isn't there? Maybe genetics? Whatever, I will double my efforts.
Tuesday: shoulder. Very nice.
Wednesday: Humid as a mofo. Did runs plus pullups etc on the moro and was supposed to have swimming that night. But having psyched myself up for it, I found it was cancelled because of a bit of bloody lightning. Was very pissed off. I had my togs on and everything.Thursday: Chest and biceps. Very nice.
Going to shoot for Friday morning swim. It's 5am which is an utter cnut, but I'm kind of addicted. Such awesome training.
-
Up at 4:30 for swimming!
Wasn't too bad actually but reckon I'll hit the wall pretty soon. Great way to start the day though.
-
@rancid-schnitzel 4.30am!! jaysus mate, that's early and I've got a 2 year old lol

Won't make a habit of it. Absolutely knackered!
-
I always found if I did a workout in the morning, I felt so good for most of the day but do hit the wall late in the workday.
If I am awake when my alarm goes off at 6.45 I am annoyed haha
-
Swimming this morning. Absolutely wrecked. No legs tonight. Not gonna happen. Will try to double up tomorrow.
-
Pretty good week, but seem to have fooked my back a bit. Not very sore but very stiff. Hopefully nothing serious. Will piss me off because I'm on a bit of a roll. Reluctantly ditched training this morning and had a bath. Yes, I know. Will shoot for swimming tomorrow and then see how the weekend goes. Unlike some of you guys, I don't do injured well at all!!!
-
@rancid-schnitzel back stuff can come right pretty fast if its just overtraining etc. If it doesn't feel like you've tweaked something a couple of days off or lighter stuff might see it right. Are you rolling out etc? Maybe a decent sports massage could be an option.

No. I've been talking about rolling out for years. Ever since I asked you guys what this meant 😂. Might be high time.
Seeing the gf this weekend so hopefully she can help out. She's pretty much the reason for the overtraining.
-
@rancid-schnitzel well I did consider asking if there were any new bedroom activities! God knows we talk about all and sundry round here 😂😂
-
And dude! Get on the rolling train ha ha! Def well overdue!
-
Swimming Saturday and Monday went well without back problems. Test will be tomorrow morning. Hopefully ok, but at least I know a proper swimming workout is an option. Really good shit that.
Speaking of swimming, it looks like my eldest will be offered a half scholarship for swimming to a top private school. Blown away by that. Went to the school today and it was astonishing. The training facilities are unbelievable. Hopefully all goes well. Half-scholarship is still going to rape the budget of a single dad, but I'll make it happen. But damn. School bus is $2,000 a year and their school acubra alone is $99. Good thing I barely drink or go out!
-
Shoulders went OK on Tuesday and run and swimming today went well. Well. Deserved spag bol tonight.
-
Shit, five days. Been smashing the swimming and eating. Treated myself to nachos on Saturday. Lovely.
The swimming has made a big difference and I don't know why it isn't pushed much more strongly in workout routines. Far less punishment on the body than running (and you train the entire body) and you don't have to play chicken with cars like those lycra clad dickheads. It's just the intimate HIIT or pump workout. Pissed off it's finishing this week, but will definitely create my own programme.
-
Dude you are legit part fish these days!! Nothing better than when you are loving your training!
-
A whole week. Actually the entire fitness section quiet. Nobody training anymore?
Been going pretty hard myself. Eating well and loving the swimming. Unfortunately it ended last Saturday so have to do my own thing. Hit the pool with the gf (who used to be a competitive swimmer) on Monday morning and she pretty much made me her bitch. Felt great afterwards but buggered in the evening. That swimming cuts you up to. Farking great shit.
Shoulders this morning then going for legs tonight. Going to try a solo swimming session tomorrow. Should be interesting.
