DATA 9/12/2011 Squats and Bench Reverse Pyramid

Been a long week, I think it might just be that time of year, lots of things happening which do drain your energy. Squats have been going well and this scares me because it means I have to do even more/better each session! It would be easy (and comfortable) to keep the weights the same ... ...

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 ... ...

DATA 2/12/2011 – Squatville RPT

I love Fridays for a number of reasons. Not the usual TGI Friday stuff, because I actually love what I do for a living. One of the highlights on Friday is training, and at the moment squatting. My knee has been fairly ordinary since Monday, but thanks to some generous amounts of Tiger Balm everything ... ...

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.

Feeling quite good today, sleep patterns have been all over the place, couldn’t get to sleep last night but when I did it was 100% dead sleep. Busy morning means that training come around pretty quickly which is cool. I am looking at getting some Olympic Lifting shoes to squat in (these are the best ... ...

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 ... ...
