What training are you doing/have you done today? (Vol.3)
Discussion
Started getting back into working out recently after a hiatus of around two months due to travelling.
Worked out a few times this week and last, but have ensured to work legs out also.
Feels great from a physical and mental perspective, and getting back onto the cardio machines complements it further.
Last night (reps x sets):
15 x 5 x 40kg - seated tricep dip press machine (harder with the hands placed straight than sideways).
10 x 4 x 47kg - lat pull-down with the chinning/triangle attachment.
100 reps on the ab curl machine at 45kg.
4 x 10 x 30kg barbell standing bicep curls. Unintended increase as the 25kg was in use the other night.
4 x 12 x 55kg seated pec fly.
4 x 12 x 10kg standing pec fly.
4 x 12 x 24kg standing pull-down using the V attachment.
Level 13 x manual mode x 25 minutes on cross trainer (static, so working legs out only), plus 5 minutes cool-down.
10 minutes in the sauna, followed by a cool (but not cold!) shower and cleaning scrub - definitely recommend a body puff or a loofah for added exfoliating and circulation benefits.

45 mins treadmill this morning
Working today and it's rest day so no gym.
Dropped bw 1.2lb this week so happy with that.
Seem to be clinging onto the hard earned muscle nicely.
Going for the Dorian grainy b&w look.
Great look Adz. 5.5 mile walk this morning, another 'false weight' of 15st 1lb due to no solids other than porridge Thursday/Friday. Gonna try and get to gym today for a light session. Mouth still very tender, jaw so tender I can't bear to shave!! Working today and it's rest day so no gym.

All the best to your mum, Adz.
Gi fundamentals class tonight. Slower pace, no rolling. An hour of practicing a sweep which makes up part of a sequence we ve been learning. Being only an hour it goes very quick.
Doing a mix of 101 fundamental classes and training with the higher belts is proving to be a good mix for me.
Mr R, is it ok to drop you an email regarding MJ management/coming off/maintenence etc... I'd rather speak to someone who, like myself, has had success with it than throw it open to the dedicated thread where there is always a lot of 'experts' and critics....Gi fundamentals class tonight.

Yesterday, back session at the gym, plate loaded pull downs, working up nicely to a top set of 130kg for 7, weight moved the best yet, then weighted pull ups with 20kg for 12 reps then a single with 60kg, finished oof with some grip work, wife and daughter came too and both are closing in on a 10 reps pull up set.
This morning was a fairly chilled coffee ride with the wife, 34kms done in an hour, 100kms later on Zwift.

Olympic bar extensions 15 supersllow no pause
Seated incline triceps cable push down 12, 12
Standing cable tricep push down 10,10,10
Lying cable cross over lateral raises 15, 12, 5, 5, 5 then a finish set of 21s.

Seated chest away cable curls 10, 8, 8
Back to normal more structured workouts tomorrow but I've a few excercises I'd like to throw in and try. Should get legs hot this week also, mouth still tender but pretty much healed, not much chance of bleed now

Incline smith machine press
10, 10, 10 (7,3), 10 (7,3)
Incline low pulley cable fly to front of face 15, 10, 10, 10 (8,2), 10 (8,2)
Incline wide grip cable pull over 10, 10, 10
Close grip pull down 10, 6, 4, 4 forearms were gone. Thinking I might make this a strength excercise as my grip simply won't hold out at the end of a workout so its limiting my ability to hit the muscle. Might work lower reps more weight.
15st 4lb after a 'refill' weekend and my first bread in about 6 weeks for supper last night. Gonna try and get under 15st within next 10 days

Competed on Friday. Wasn't up for it really but it was a ridiculously good show. Did some good work on the sandbag events. Good to go against (and get thoroughly beaten by) my BiL.
Spent the rest of the weekend watching the PSL European Championship which was again, an unreal show.
Put together an athleticism session that I'll be doing once a week; jumps, sprints, a bit of conditioning under load. Will test that out this week and maybe squeeze in a deadlift session. Off to Bergen for a few days at the weekend then it's right into an 8 week prep for Cumbria's. Happy days.

Yesterday, the fastest 100km on zwift that I have ever done, more like a race than a group ride, just one long line of riders strung out for the whole 2hrs 12mins, flash backs to my time racing in France in another life.
Today, 45 minutes of core and grip work at the gym, loads of L sit pull ups and single arm hangs, some muscle ups thrown in to, feeling strong and body holding up too, no twinges or aches, shoulder almost back to full mobility.

Swapped my Thursday and Tuesday this week, so today was this.
5 exercises x 6 min rounds, 1:30 min rest. Targets set between 2 people, but to be exceeded until timer (if possible).
1) Rowing target of 1,200m paired with lat pull downs target of 100
2) Sled run target of 15 laps, paired with EZ barbell curls target of 120 reps
3) Sumo squats (25kg) target of 100 paired with elliptical glider 80 calories target.
4) tricep extensions target of 120 paired with incline bench press (50kg barbell)
5) Assault bike target 65 calories paired with push press (18kg) target of 80
Nice bit of a change. The weather is picking up and the morning's a little lighter, may introduce an outdoor station soon again.
Happy Tuesday all

7.6k run at lunch, was fairly comfortable, didnt hammer away as I am apt to do, took it at a nice steady 6.20 per km.
Will do a 5k on Thursday, maybe extend to 8.5k over the weekend and maybe try and crack my first 10k next week now the days are getting longer and weather better.
Gym last night but was a pretty feeble effort.
