Cool idea Jon, will have a look into that one.

Yet another good day in the gym. Now i have decided on a definite goal i am just getting one heck of a buzz and pushing well hard in the gym. My arms hurt so much today but still worked my butt off tonite The guy who does my pushes keeps knocking the weights up too :lol::lol:

Meals same as yesterday and the day before.

x30 mins cardio

Weights:

Triceps
dips
kickbacks single arm
tricep press x  machine
ext seated single arm
ext standing with db

Did some other stuff too cause the xmachine isnt working properly in the gym. Did some abs today and some stretches (thought he was gonna pull my arms off:rolleyes

Following you suggestion in an earlier thread, Jo, I'm doing exercise to the point of failure! Different ones each day of course, but at the end of about an hour I can barely walk! If nothing else, ir makes me feel good, as you are doing. Do you take protein shake just after the WO?

Hi Jon,

Glad its going well, its so satisfying coming out of the gym knowing that you have
done all you can do. I ache so bad today and i am so glad it is friday !!!!

Postworkout i have x2 scoops whey and a green apple.
Hope things are going well.

Postworkout i have x2 scoops whey

I was doing the same with 2 scoops which came to 100grams, but I think it was PJ who suggested I drop the amount down to one scoop. I also have a banana "smoothie", which is banana popped in a liquifier with a glass of skimmed milk. Its frothy man!   Hope you have a good weekend; Im looking forward to going to the gym again!  I'm HOOKED!

Hope u have a good weekend too, i have just come back from doing my cardio. Have a weights session tonite and i am looking forward to the weekend. I am absolutely
shattered this week, but i have worked hard.

I have had a corker of a day today.  

Meals same as they have been all week.
This week has just been great, really into this now, tonite was cool though (might not mean much to the
guys) but i actually used the 30kg dumbells for rows     Only managed 4 reps but got a real kick out
of that one.  

Training

Back  x3 sets x10 reps x8 reps at higher weight x6 reps higher weight again.
single db rows
seated lat pull down
seated lat pull - x machine
seated lat pull back machine
single arm pulls x- machine

Did more than my workout suggests, because my trainer had a cancellation so i got a bonus push with the
weights. Although i am glad its the weekend , i ache and hurt sooooooo much i need the rest, but i cant
wait to get back to the gym on monday (legs day).

Yes, Jo, this is one addiction I like! Back in the gym tomorrow.  Funny enough todays effort was also very similar to yours, working on the lats. but had also 30 minutes cardio to try and rid those damn "lurv handles" before the summer.

Nice one jon, i did cardio today 30 mins too, just forgot to add it. But i hope
this buzz lasts a long long time. because im lovin it.  

Good day today, had the day off so things were a bit different. Did my weights this morning, normally do in the evening. The only thing i found was that i didnt feel as if i had much energy.

Legs day today (jelly legs was an understatement.)

So overall a pretty good day.
Weekend was good ate clean all weekend no cheat meals.  

Jo, do you have machines in your gym as well as dbs, bars  etc?

Workout was good, had shoulders today. Still feeling a little shattered though. need couple of good nites sleep and will be sorted i think .
Did just under an hour weights and did 30 mins cardio at lunchtime, weights after work.
But its all good and going in the right direction  

Jo you're doing well; congratulations. I'm going through a bad patch. Been tired the last 2 days especially during cardio. As I've said in another thread I think I'm not taking enough carbs as I cut down to keep my weight stable. I will have to up the amount again.  I see that you've not got much fruit in your diet, Jo. Thats one way Im gonna increase my carbs, I could eat the stuff all day!. Anyway I like your diet apart from that; its neat and simple to follow. I also see you don't take creatine. This is my last week taking it, and I'll be off it for another 4 weeks. Its good to see your progress reports. I like to see someone else suffer!   {Only joking!}

thanx for that,  

yeah i am a little not getting enough sleep this week and its taking its toll. As for bad patches everyone has them. I have had my own, its just getting over them, and then
getting back to it.
Take it a day at a time and you will get back to where you were. Just keep going.
