Incredible Bulk · 18-07-2008, 12:30 PM

going on holiday i take it?
relax and enjoy, you'll be climbing the walls by day 3 and trying to do curls with the suitcases no doubt lol

MrGum · 18-07-2008, 12:58 PM

That's right. In the past I have been known to take my weights with me.

Broke my leg in 2006 and trained every day on holiday with DBs and leg weights:

Can't fit them in the car now, because we have a dog

Gonna do lots of running and kickboxing training.

fozyspilgrims · 01-08-2008, 09:28 PM

You still training mark?

Greekgoddess · 02-08-2008, 09:33 AM

Yes, I wondered the same. Are you stuck in the gym working your A**e off or are you still relaxing after the holiday? Or did you not come back to the UK?

MrGum · 02-08-2008, 07:12 PM

Just got back from two weeks in Scotland. I have done some running, but little else. Will be back to lifting very soon. I'll post more late - thanks for your posts!!

MrGum · 02-08-2008, 08:45 PM

Well ... I have been on holiday - total rest from weights.
I did some running:

(I was a bit ill or something for the first day or two)
Tues 22/7 1hr 34min run.
Thurs warm-up + 10x1min fast / 1 min recover. 6x30secs fast/recover.
Friday 500 body weight squats
Sat 2 hour run (off road).
Mon 28/7 fell run to summit of Ben Nevis (2hr52min)

.
Wed warm-up plus 6x2mins fast/recover.

I also did some crunches and stretching on rest days.
My diet has not been great. Back into it all properly tomorrow.

fozyspilgrims · 02-08-2008, 09:15 PM

Glad your back mate.

MrGum · 03-08-2008, 12:53 PM

Weighed in at 11st 11lbs. Lost three pounds over the two weeks holiday (hope not too much muscle lost). As I said, diet was not up to scratch. Back into proper eating today.

Greekgoddess · 03-08-2008, 05:22 PM

Glad to see you back - I missed your postings. At least you didn't pile weight on during your holiday.

MrGum · 03-08-2008, 10:52 PM

Well, I've heard about muscle memory, mine seem to have amnesia!
Two weeks away from lifting and I feel weak!
Anyway, got to start somewhere:

Still following Madcow plan

Floor Bench Press 4x5 and one set of 4 (ramping to 62kg).
BB Row 5x5 ramping up to 45kg.
M. Press 5x5 ramping to 40kg (cheated lots on last set!)
Squats 20x2 at 55kg (I just couldn't seem to get any more weight up with my "clean" technique.

Right ... hoping that I won't be too sore tomorrow ...

Went to Kickboxing last night - good session. My flexibility is improving. Legs are achy today (from Sunday's squatting).

Greekgoddess · 05-08-2008, 12:37 PM

Have just stopped the kickboxing till November because of the risk of injury before my contest. Reckon you would get marked down for a big black eye!Going back when I return at the end of October and planning to do 2 nights a week instead of one. Start taking belts in this style.

MrGum · 05-08-2008, 07:47 PM

Still trying to get back into it. I may have to stop the gym sessions for a number of reasons (summer hols being one!).
Anyway.

Floor Bench 5x5 ramping to 63kg.
BB Row 5x5 ramping to 45kg.
Squat 20x2 56kg.

Hopefully going for a run later - DOMS in my inner thighs is annoying me
