    <p>Trainer: Your upper body fat measurements are not that bad. We just won't go below your waist, mmm kay?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>So today was all about the ass. After 4km cycle, started with crosses, then cross jab kicks, then hooks. That was fine. Then in a row, pushing metal cage with weights in, then towing it. Then quickfire 1min cross sprints. Then leg presses. Then curtsey squats. Then glute clenches with bloody big sand weight bag thing resting on lower abs.</p>

    <p>To say I have jelly legs right now is an understatement.</p>

    <p>ps Irene Van Dyke was doing boxing training in les mills the other night. She was taking some hits and dealing some out too - had a line of girls from various boxing classes lined up to jump in the ring. I think she'll do ok in the fight for life. The reach on her is crazy!! plus she is heavier than she looks (being super tall but trim) so I think her opponent might be surprised by how hard she hits.</p>

    Sounds like you'd be keen to do a few rounds with her Paeks.....<br><br>
    Then maybe do some boxing afterwards.

    <p>Waaay too tall for me bro. But buy me a few drinks and who knows!!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Either way I don't think it's anything that'd make the cut for Mokey's novels!</p>

    <p>Depends if you are aiming to be the hero or comic relief sidekick. Or maybe the villain?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Or Irene could be the villain, an Amazonian warrior who jab/cross/kicked poor innocent PKB unconscious and dragged him away to her jungle lair.</p>

    You do some big numbers especially for a comparatively svelte bloke.

    <p>Especially after doing squats, and your glutes and hamstrings have gone on strike. I had to keep adjusting because my quads/lower back were taking over.</p>

    <p>Gotta stay low on the sled... if that is what 'Giant metal fucker' is describing! </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Those things get real evil when you are knackered - keeping any kind of form going when fatigued is super tough.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Sleeping giant aye? will avoid any BFG comments  :whistle:</p>

    <p>Could possibly be a sled, but I think giant metal fucker describes it better.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>You COULD start up with BFG comments, but then you'd have to sleep with one eye open for like the rest of your life, soooooooo...</p>

    <p>Trainer away today, so took myself through a workout. 4.8km cycle, lots of jabs to the punching bag, leg press, glute squeeze/pulse, sit ups, planks.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Really need to strengthen my core and improve posture.</p>

    <p>Google waiters carries - the Kettle bell version. Magic for shoulders, posture and a bit of core too. Try the variation where you balance the KB upside down on it's handle rather than in a clean grip, with the KB against your wrist/forearm.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I promise once you get the hang of them you will love em. I've got shitty office monkey shoulders and doing these 1-2 a week has made a huge difference to my posture.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The trash heap has spoken!</p>

    <p>Hey that's brilliant, thanks. My posture has never been great, but now I have a chronic case of writer's hunch, and sometimes I get the carpal tunnel/forearm pain. This looks like it will help with both. :good:</p>

    deadlifts, planks and plyometrics are great for posture I reckon. Walking along and checking your mobile every five seconds is not.
