weighed in at 17st 3lb today. Not lost anything on the scales but the mirror says otherwise. Have felt a bit under the weather the past few days as though I was getting the flu but it hasn't gotten any worse. Should've trained on saturday but decided to rest and train today. did hams, calves and biceps today. Started off with lying leg curls then onto standing then onto SLDL but I only came up to just past my knee to keep tension on my hams. Will alternate these with deep light stretching sldls. For biceps I just did standing d'bell curl and cable curl, really focussed on supinating my bicep at the top. Didn't get much of a pump today but I'm putting that down to not feeling well. Quads and triceps tomorrow .. staggered leg press here I come :O

Weighed in at 16st 13lb today .. can't remember the last time I was this light!!!

Quads and triceps today .. staggered leg press for 4 sets (oh the pain!!!!), 2 sets of leg ext and 2 sets of hacks (1 heavy and 1 20 repper). Tried James L's trick of pausing at the bottom and it does make the movement much harder. Great pump in my quads

For triceps I did 3 sets of straight bar pushdowns and 3 sets of rope pushdowns really squeezing my triceps. Have decided to do arms twice a week 1 week then once the next to minimise the chance of overtraining.

Top man. Your PM's got me intrigued so expect a barrage of questions. Already taken your advice and trying to do what you suggested.

Marsbar

Wes

Have you read my PM then?

weseastham

Yeah mate. Read it and requested a change. A bit of naivety on my part I think. It's the other part thats got me interested, because if I know you, we're going training.

Back and biceps today
Started off with rack DL from below the knee and worked up to 200kg for 2 heavy sets. then onto hammer pulldown for 3 sets, these felt hard after the dl. Then cable row iwth a parallel grip for 3 sets really squeezing my lats. Finished off with shrugs supersetted with face pulls. Biceps was preacher curls for 3 sets and 2 sets of cable curls. Was weird today as I was fired up for my workout but when I got there everything was an effort and I struggled a bit to 'feel' my muscles and get a decent pump. Didn't weigh myself today as I'm going to try and stick to once a week but I was relatively happy with what I saw in the mirror (even though I feel like a twig!!!!!!!)

Chest delts and triceps tonight and did:

Incline Smith Bench
Dips
Flyes
Seated press
Cable laterals
Rear laterals
Overhead extension
Close grip lockouts

All done for 3-4 sets and finished in 50 mins. Felt much better today, finished with a good pump. Hit a few poses in the changing room afterwards and pleased with how its going.

Diet is spot on, managing to get all of my meals in and haven't been tempted to cheat at all so far.

One a day, the well balanced way.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Thanks Mars .. dieting is a reality check as to how big you actually are versus how big you think you are.

Kezz

tell me about it, lol

Kezz .. at least your still massive though!!!

Does anyone suffer with bad breath whilst dieting? My missus says my breath has gone really bad since I started dieting?

Oh yeah .. all still going okay .. had a bit of a cheat last night in the form of a small portion of some fried rice and noodles with my chicken and few drinks but didn't go overboard. It was quite hard watching the kids eat a huuuuge box of toffee popcorn though :(

I am finding (or rather the wife is) finding some great ways to spice up my food. She's come up with a great spicy tomato sauce using chopped tomatoes, chilli and a few other things.
