Today is Saturday 22nd December 2007
Weight this morning was 14st 4.5lbs.
Yesterday afternoon myself and Nic went up to Windsor to see Wade and Caroline.
After arriving at the gym EARLY and speaking to Wade en route, the useless cnut was still 20 mins late and ambled in at 4.20pm.
Anyway because I am chilled, I let it slide this one time (what am I talking about he's late every time!!)
Anyway we trained back and I did a few sets of triceps. The workout was good, heavy and productive. We started off with T bar rows then did some lat pulls, then some lever rows and finished with heavy narrow pulldowns. My back today is nice and sore and deep in the tissue so I know it was hit effectively.
After rushing back to his pad we then got ready and went out for a meal to a restaurant about 20 mins away. All I can say is it was fantastic and the food, service, company and atmosphere was all first class.
I had some ciabatta garlic bread to start with some fresh tuna fishcakes, then for the main I had a homemade burger with smokey bacon and cheese with chips and finished with some strawberries and pineapple. All washed down with apple juice and diet coke.
:beer1:
We had a great evening and laughed so much my face ached!!
After the long drive back we got in around 12.15am and after my final meal I turned in for the night at about 12.30am this morning.
The alarm went off at 6am and it was time to get up and see my first client of the day. I bypassed the cardio today and will do tomorrow instead. I always take sunday off cardio but decided the rest was needed today. Firstly because of little sleep, secondly because I had trained hard doing back and lastly because I was training legs at 9.30 today. Oh yeah and the fact I really couldn't be ****d!!
So after my client I wended my way to the gym and met Nytol and Sam there. Sam is doing the South Coast show so came down for a chat about his prep and what he will do come the 30th once his diet starts.
We started with Mammer Strength single leg ext which were great but I only did 3 sets as my right knee was hurting, so I swapped to standard double leg ones for the last set. We then hit hacks nice and heavy going up to 4 plates a side and then a drop set to 2 plates a side for 20 reps.
Next was the 'staggered stance' leg press (one leg high, one low) which Paul B showed me some time ago and I throw in once in a while just to really fcuk myself (and those training with me) up!!:crazy:
We then moved onto lying leg curls where 4 sets were completed in the 8-12 rep range and finished with straight leg deads. Starting at 2 plates each side I then pyramided up to 3.5 plates a side (160kgs) for 6-8 reps.:lift:
Nytol made these look easy and did 180kgs for 6 with ease.
By this time my legs were shaking. The weight felt OK but the legs by now were spent. So it was time to call it a day and get those carbs and protein down my neck!!
This was Nytol's first heavier leg workout in a while so I will await with muffled laughter how his legs are tomorrow and when I see him monday!!!
We bid farewell to Nytol and then myself and Sam headed into Maidstone for a bite to eat and a chat about his show and other irrelavant banter.
Tomorrow is a day of rest (apart from cardio A.M) and then monday I'll hit chest and bi's and am really looking forward to going heavy this week.
Tonight I am just going to chill and make myself a nice espresso with my nice new coffee machine
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
