Fuller's Gym and Rugby Log

Good chest session last night - interestingly i have had an ankle injury these past two and half weeks so have been unable to play/train, this has freed up more time or weights etc.....in that time i have posted PBs in every body area that i can lift with at the moment (excluding legs - due to ankles) and according to the gym scales last night (the ones i have been using since starting this thread) am now up to 14 stone 7 pounds (wearing trainers, t, and shorts) which is what i was after.<br />
<br />
Chest session last night:<br />
<br />
Bench Press x 4 sets max 100kgs<br />
Incline Press (Smith) x 2 sets 80kgs (PB)<br />
Dips x 3 (8 reps)<br />
Incline Dumbell Press x 3 sets 30kg dumbells<br />
Tricep rope Pull downs x 3 sets 40kgs (PB)<br />
<br />
Happy with how it is all going at the moment. -

Going to stop after the final superset session of this week and revert back to straight lifting to see if we have made any strength gains. Then continue to mix it up. <br />
<br />
Defo felt some gains by doing it though. -

Haven't updated for a while but i have been gymming just the same as ever, perhaps more often as i have an ankle problem which has now stopped me playing since End of Jan (ish)<br />
<br />
I have come off teh creatine as well, also off any protein shakes as well. The reason being is that i am going to be more restrictive in my cycling the creatine using 6 week windows. I am in the 4th/5th week off creatine now and will next week i think cycle back on and use it to help some gains for 6 weeks before cycling back off. This is ( i have read ) the most effective way to utlise it as a training aid.<br />
<br />
Second change is that i am including legs in sessions. This is something i neglected during the season and latterly because o fteh ankle injury. However now my ankle has progressed enough to let me do some leg work.<br />
<br />
Anyway last night i did a fairly big session as follows:<br />
<br />
Bench Press x 4<br />
Incline Dumbell Press x 3<br />
Pec Deck x 4<br />
Dips x 3<br />
Tricep rope pull downs x 3<br />
Tricep machine x 3<br />
<br />
Bike <br />
Leg press x 4<br />
Leg raise x 3<br />
<br />
100 sit up finish. -
Weight is up to 14 stone 6/7 pounds with trainers on and gym kit.<br />
<br />
Probably more 14 stone 4 in my birthday suit. -
Jeez i haven't posted up here for a while. I have been out fo rugby action with an an kle injury now since Feb and it is starting to right royally piss me off!<br />
<br />
I have been gymming as much, if not a bit mroe since i last posted.<br />
<br />
I had a bit of a set back with my rugby tour to Spain at Easter. Due to drinking, and irregular eating patterns i dropped to 13stone 12lbs when i had gotten back, so dropped around half a stone just like that! since then i have been working to put it back on and am finally back up to the 14stone 3lb/4lb level again. Also i badly injured my leg on tour. Docs thojghti had com;partment syndrome as there was loads and loads of iinternal bleeding in the leg (essentially the whole leg was bruised from knee down - haveb no idea what i did to it) and i had to have it elevated for around 3 weeks to stop additional damage and get teh swelling to lessen. Obviously this limited my gym time and i am just about gettig back to where i was now.<br />
<br />
With the new season a few months away now i am starting to turn my attention to cardio and getting fit, thing is i can;'t run at the moment, that means a fair bit of cycling machines etc.. in the gym.<br />
<br />
Also i havbe begun to focus some attention on the leg weights now that the leg injury has gone away a bit, still can't squat bcause of the ankle but i can leg press, leg curl etc and can do weighted lunges. -
This is my leg injury about 2 weeks after it happened. So it is getting better here.
-
Did a chest session at gym last night. Got a couple of PBs.<br />
<br />
Managed 3 sets, dumbell press with 35kg bells<br />
<br />
and best of all got my PB bench press up to 105kgs. Felt like i had more in the tank, going to try and get it up to 110kgs next week.<br />
<br />
Weight is now about 92 and a bit KGs.<br />
<br />
Ankle stll fucked. -
Been on the leg weights these past three weeks afyter ignoring them for a long time (due to not liking them and mostly because of injuries).<br />
<br />
Weight is up to 14stone 8lbs now. Well chuffed.<br />
<br />
Now, if only i could run. -
July 5th have an appointment with a specialist for my ankle - GP reckons a tear on my anterior ligament.<br />
<br />
Gonna rest the bugger for the next month until the appointment and see what happens. So frsutrated now that pre-season is fast approaching.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, slipped in a weights session while away for the weekend.<br />
<br />
Have been trying to shock the muscles a bit and so changed the routines around. I have been starting heavy on the main exercise for that body part and tehn dropping weight down in subsequent sets but upping the reps with each set also. Has had some decent results. -
Decent chest session last night, managed around 4 reps of 105kg becnh press. Going to try and up it i think in next session.<br />
<br />
Also have a date (5th July) to see a specialist about my ankle. -
Shoulder and Led session last night, feeling the ache already this morning.<br />
<br />
Weight is up to 93.8kgs<br />
<br />
Not far off the 95kgs mark i want to be at the beginning of the season in late Auguist, early September. Think it is achievable, especially if i make some gains on the lower body.<br />
<br />
Not taking any whey protein supplements at the moment, so may start on that again in the next few weeks. Still not convinced they do that much for you. -

<br />
Been going at the weights solidly for over a year now buddy, when i started at the very beginning of 2006 i was about 84kgs, now i am almost 94kgs. Still playing in the centre. -
Was being serious, for a guy of your build, benching over 100kg is pretty good!
