Doh almost two weeks update
More of the above really. Weights progressing and overall feeling good.
Fair bit of riding too plus the od crash so a few bumps and bruises from that but thankfully hasnt impacted the weights work
-
@jk knees ok on squats? the biking would be so good with all that mahi building up your legs and stuff.

Yeah mate knees are feeling good. As long as I warm up alright then squats are golden
Was actually a bit worried as golfed yesterday and usually feel it in the knee the day after due to walking about on the hard undulating ground but no issues

Boohoo another lockdown so another set back from the gym.
All my weights are down at the bach too so dont have anything here really other than bike and running shoes. Could do some bodyweight type of exercise workout but not sure I can be farked!
Last weeks training was great. Still 5x5 and weights on the rise. Hardest so far are weighted pullups. BW + 10kg is a struggle at the moment but getting through it. Deads and squats feeling good.
Decent ride yesterday - a local 28km. Some good fun in there. Might try get out tomorrow morning. Maybe, maybe a run later today

This statement couldn’t possibly be more “Auckland” if it tried

Quarterly update....
Feeling good, pretty fit, maybe a bit thicker and juicier than usual too but hey its winter so perfect time for it.
In the gym 5 days still (well mornings of course) and enjoying the training and cranking some tunes early in the am. Keeps the stress away as well as any effects from farther time. Feeling almost as strong as ever but probably fitter. No current injuries to report wooot!
Riding about 50km a week minimum, higher when can get out on the trails, maybe 70-80km. None of this sill road riding stuff though and still dont (wont ever) own any lycra.
Eating is same old. I train to eat in reality and am still a real pig when given the chance (stacks of treats at work and unfortunately at home too) but hey I burn the cals so can get away with it. Will look to tidy things around the end of next quarter with summer on the horizon.
-
Earlier than quarter update but started doing a new programme yesterday and decided on it over the weekend
John Meadows' 6-Week Plan for More Mass
Build muscle and push the limits of what you can do with "The Mountain Dog's" Project Colossus workout program.
Then this morning I heard that John Meadows actually passed away a day or so ago......freaky
-
@jk whoa! yeah man that is such sad news. The Mountain Dog was a primo guy and legend in lifting circles. I kind of wished he'd eased up after his first heart attack but that dude trained at a level I guess he just couldn't step back from. Only 49 as well, super sad.
-
@paekakboyz yeah mate absolute legend of the lifting game
-
-
OK we back.
I was feeling like was in a really good lifting space just before lockdown. Was enjoying it and just feeling really good but for the first week and half I've done fark all plus also been sick which really hasnt helped. Thats gone now so time to get back in to it.
Late yesterday did bit of a primer workout. A bit of everything with not alot of weight. Good to get moving again and wasnt too sore this morning.
Sunday session was 5 rounds of Press ups, squats, sit-ups, kb swings, kb rows, kb side bends, overhead press, upright rows, RDLs, leg drops, front plate raises, ez bar curls, skull crushers, glute raises, plank. Approx 35mins
-
Todays workout - Manmaker Mondays
Warmup - 250m jog, 20 squats, 15 push-ups, 10 glute raises, 5 kick thrus (per side) X 2
Manmaker ladder - 10kg dumbbells - 10 reps, 8, 6, 4, 2 with 250m run between each set of reps
21-15-9 of bb rows, bb overhead press, jump squats, plank (1min)
RDLs and band work to finish. Approx 35mins all up
Aim is to get to where I can do 21-15-9 of manmakers unbroken. Next monday will prob be 12-9-6-3
-
@jk nice...I just find the toughest thing is getting started in lockdown!
I been doing some 25-30 min HIIT type workouts with KB and resistance bands (find they are great assistance for single leg KB deadlifts)
AM missing the gym big time though
