DATA 7/12/2011 – Dips RPT and Bench Presses (first time in a while!)

I don’t know what my favourite workout day is anymore, I just love them all! Getting better at dips has given me much love for Wednesdays workout even though there’s no lower body work (which is my normal favourite). I decided to add some bench pressing back into the mix because it’s been a long ... ...

Man I’m still sore after Monday. A bit bruised and beaten after basketball on Monday, did a ocean recovery session which made me feel good for a few hours but last night my right knee blew up.

DATA 28/11/2011 – I Love Deadlifts

I love deadlifts. Who doesn’t really? And if you don’t love them then learn to love them! Deads are a great exercise for just about everything except your chest. You can get super strong legs, core and upper back with this one exercise, and it’s easy to progress with an extra rep here and a ... ...

DATA 23/11/2011 – Dips, Chins, Pushups, Fun Times Complex!

Man, I’m still sore after Monday’s workout, followed by a late game of basketball, followed by not enough sleep and not enough food. Recovery between sessions is such a major element to your progress. Sleep and adequate nutrition covers most of it. For me nutrition on workout days means getting enough carbs, protein, calories and ... ...

DATA 21/11/2011 – Deadlifts, Chins, Swings, Reverse Pyramid

Friday wasn’t the best workout, and I think I might even be a little stressed which is very unusual for me. Having a 9pm game of basketball (when I’d normally be in bed!) and a very busy day Tuesday has me thinking too far ahead of time and not just focusing on today.   Deadlift ... ...

DATA 16/11/2011 – Ring Dips and Pullups RPT

I’ve been blown away with the weights I can carry on these dips. Given that I had a broken elbow 12 months ago I am very happy with the way this and my shoulder have been getting through the workouts. Last week I lost my balance/control after 2 reps so I am ready for the ... ...

DATA 14/11/2011 Deadlift and Chins RPT

Everything is feeling good after a decent training effort last week. Recovered well from squats over the weekend (including a shoot around) and love deadlifting on a Monday. I also think the lower volume with the addition of basketball has balanced itself out. My numbers are still going up in the right direction and I’m ... ...

DATA 9/11/2011 – Reverse Pyramid Training Dips

My upper back and hammies are still sore from Monday. The upper back is 100% from the deads and chins, but the hammies would also be a little from basketball. Overall I’m happy with how I’ve recovered after the combo, although I do have some random bruising from basketball! Ring Dips RPT 6 @ BW ... ...
