God that makes me hungry! Time for a protein bar. Main meal tonight, again, a tin of Heinz Lentil Soup with some oatmeal mixed in. Luxury...
I don't do it often but I do love a fry up ,I will try to burn some of it off later with the kettle-bell a bit of self flagellation

Today I managed to squeeze just over an hour on my brand new training bike (nights pulling in quick now). Well chuffed with how if felt. Recovering from man flu so nothing too spectacular - 750m of elevation and 31kph average. I went to the gym yesterday - continued with my 3 min efforts x 2 on the chinning bar and the dipping bar. Really getting into these at the moment and did other stuff besides.
First football match tomorrow for about 15 weeks since damaging ligaments and cracking a bone in my right ankle. Feeling a bit nervous. If I get through that ok I'll start my winter running sessions by the end of September, hopefully.
Second session...
Now, I know I said I wouldn't keep doing this, but
Seated cable pulldowns @ 180lb = 1 x 345 ~ PB by a long way. Pretty much directly under clamp and down enough to get a full stretch. First 200 mostly slow(ish) and deliberate then many of rest fast and explosive.
T Bar Row - 133lb = 1 x 20 back parallel to floor then 16 more at c.45 degrees to floor
Low pulley cable rows @ 140lb = 1 x 47 then 16 more as a drop set
Hyperextensions = 1 x 20
High angle seated cable rows @ 140lb = 1 x 17 approx 45 degrees to horizontal
in and out in c. 20 mins so short and (not) sweet.

Anyone tried using one of these bars for squatting:
New acquisition in the gym.
Used it in the following session:
Squats: 10 x 130kg, 8 x 140kg (the bar keeps you super straight and, when going to max depth, hits the quads hard)
Dumbbell shoulder press: 10 x 40kg
Strict seated log-press: 10 x 85kg
Also some tricep and bicep work.

I have lacked oomph lately and keep avoiding the kettlebell, I could blame the calorie deficit and weight loss but it's not good enough. Must try harder !
I was going to hit the chest tomorrow but strangely I feel like I worked the pectorals while climbing. 
I know I had to lean forwards for some tricky work but it wasn't that long! Shoulders ache, too. Guess that comes from belaying (lots of shoulder pushes!).
Guess tomorrow will be legs day.

I went out satuday with a load of people from work, and ended up in a very studenty club at the end of freshers week. This is fun when you're a trainer in the university gym . Anyway, felt fine yet hungover sunday. Monday, felt a cold coming on, trained through it. Tuesday Felt a bit worse, pushed through it. Wednesday I felt f
king terrible, rested, thursday more of the same. Today I feel better, but can't train tomorrow so figured I'll rest today as well, get some good recovery in and hit it hard again on Sunday.
Can't believe one night out has taken a week off me!
