@Rancid-Schnitzel I always thought swimming would hit chest pretty hard... or is that more down to the style of stroke etc?

It does, but certainly more for breaststroke and butterfly. But you just don't smash the chest in the same way as when you lift heavy (for me) tin.

I've just done a rapid 1500m swim in my lunch hour and my tits hurt like i am going through puberty. So maybe i am doing it wrong (my lats fucking hurt too though)

That's because you're a little bitch.

So Friday arms. Bicep workout is absolutely perfect. Unfortunately a bit of tennis elbow is occurring so had to drop overhead tricep extensions (which IMHO are the best tri workout). Hopefully get rid of that soon.
Saturday: Swimming. Fooking tough.
Sunday: Run. Not so tough. Swimming making it very easy even with a few intervals. Was farking hot though. Sweating like a bitch.
Monday: Swimming. This was a bloody tough session and had to take a moment when finished. 6 Max efforts each for 25m, 30m and 50m. Drilled. -

15 days! Fook!
As mentioned, have been having a few issues with tennis elbow and decided to take a break from any arm training last week. Wasn't a happy camper. Did a couple of big runs and leg training, but it just can't replace the swimming and tin lifting. Back into it on Monday and much happier. Elbow not perfect but not bothering me. Will probably have to address it sometime down the track though.Can't bang on enough about this swimming. The farking bomb. Still struggle with serious volume though. Don't know how these fuckers do multiple kms without stopping.

Tuesday: Fine hammerage of the shoulders.
Wednesday: Swimming. 2.5km. Buggered but great workout. Good mix.
Thursday: Chest and biceps. Very nice. -
Slack.
Was supposed to go up in a hot air balloon on Sunday for the gf's 40th but were told while standing in front of the balloon that it was too windy. Apparently we were in a bad air balloon paddock because there were about 5 other balloons in the sky. Was bloody annoying because we had to get up at 4 and then get a mini bus for 30min. Not sure if it was the lack of sleep or something I'd contracted previously but felt like death that night and felt hungover the next day. Didn't stop me from stupidly doing swimming the next day. Got through it OK but felt like utter shit shortly thereafter. Nothing worse than having hangover symptoms without the drinking.
Felt bit better yesterday and cranked out a good shoulder session but was up far too late with work and am feeling a bit worse for wear now. Swimming tonight which will test my resolve.The idiotic thing about all this is that my eldest commented on my abs this morning. So I take a week off, get sick, eat shit for two days, and the abs get more defined? That's so retarded. The body is a strange strange beast.

This thread has suddenly become more than @Paekakboyz @JK and sometimes @MN5 with the occasional influx due to talk of dps and Tinder!
Training going OK, but more importantly I've become a believer in the healing qualities of Tumeric (or more specifically Curcumin). That stuff is really farking good. I've also been told that blended beetroot is great as a pre-workout drink. Will get some of that tonight.

Didn't end up getting to the shop so no beetroot for me. Definitely later tonight.
Thought gym was closing at 7 today for renovations so got up bright and early. Should have checked the date on that facepalm. Anyway apart from two rather fit women, the gym was empty and it was a good session. Chest and biceps. Never a let down if there's enough time 👍.

If I had the choice of eating beetroot or being shot then I'd be dead.

That's not promising. I will buy a tin and see how I go. There is an old dude at the gym who looks 20 years younger. He's basically tested all of this stuff on himself for years. Swears by it. But if it tastes like shit I'll give it a miss.

I am a very fussy eater. It took me about 37 years to truly enjoy mushrooms.

When someone tells me they like a proper burger, one "with the lot" and it doesn't come with bacon, egg, pineapple and beetroot, that tells me I shouldn't leave them alone with children, pets or expensive electronics.

the former are foods of the gods......but the latter ? ( shudders )

Beetroot is great. Just don't freak out at the red in your shits. We're all middle aged men, you take a glance from time to time 😂
Roast beetroot in a salad with feta etc is really good. Am ok with it in a burger but not generally my thing.

Juicy pineapple mixing with egg on a burger?!? AND beetroot thrown in just to make the scene look like even more of a mess..
Never heard of such a concoction! All OK individually, not together man!!
