| Re: James Llewellin's 'Arnold Classic' preparation thread Today is Sunday 11th November 2007
Awoke this morning at 14st 1lbs. Read on to find out why!!
A lot fuller today after the higher carbs of yesterday. Ok maybe not just carbs.
I trained with Wade at Castles in the morning (he was late as normal) but I let him off because he is S. African but to be fair he copes OK with the affliction!!
My legs feel like my back did/does....battered, but all in the right places. No sore aductors or glutes just deep soreness in my inner and outer quads and around the teardrop.
We started with hacks, then ext then lunges for quads. Then for hams we did leg curls very slow and controlled with a nasty drop set plus the lunges before and then I thought I'd do calves as haven't hit them for a couple of weeks so did slow standing in 2 phases with a double squeeze at the top and then some standing single leg calf raises with dumbell.
There really isn't a part of the leg that has escaped. I forgot how much I enjoy training legs and now that I am back in 'full swing' with my leg training after 2 light sessions, it feels great!
After training and our PWO shake it was off to a restaurant in Windsor called 'Tre'
It is an Italian place and it was chosen by Wade. 6 of us went and we were greeted by a guy called Joe who ran the place but also was the chef. He also trains at Castles and as soon as we came in he was giving Wade and me options of what we could have.
He persuaded us to have sirloin with some freshly caught Monkfish with some pasta and pesto with some 'just baked' rosemary and sun dried tomato bread, drizzled with olive oil.....How could we resist.
It was incredible. A chef that knew what foods we needed and was willing to cook us anything whether it was on the menu or not...My kind of place. The steak was HUGE and the Monkfish was amazing. In fact I am dribbling now!!!
Anyway after it was time to say goodbye but not before calling into GNC to get another tub of peanut butter. Nic and I then headed home and got ready to go to Shelley's wedding reception. Again it was good fun and the buffet was not your average....smoked salmon, king prawns, mixed veg, new pots, chicken, I honestly had to pinch myself. I did try to guestimate portion size but when i went back for seconds I thought 'whatever'!!!
Today has been far more 'normal' with the non training day diet adhered to, to the nearest calorie. After clients this morning I went to collect my photos from Becka and the CD she had done of the shoot the week after the british (arty images to follow)
This afternoon it was time for the weekly shop and a visit to my mum and dad in laws in Maidstone and also to see my sis in laws and my niece and nephew.
Tonight has been spent relaxing and I actually had time to watch some tele (wife swap would you believe?)
So all in all another nice relaxing affair this weekend with no dashing around and driving 200 miles with nice early nights....Yeah right.
Oh well I am back at work tomorrow for a week of rest.
Training chest tomorrow and I am not holding back. I am more fired up than ever at the moment so i know it will join my back and legs in how it feels tuesday morning.
