Sunday 6th December
The first of my new training programme started today. Programme A - shoulder and arms. Simon coached me through it. I realised that my rest pauses may be a bit longer than his! Most of my sets are in threes with one long, one short and heavy with two rest pauses and then one lighter set to finish of 20 reps to really pump up the muscle. I had and am taking daily now my Arginine which help transport the blood and nutrients into my muscles to help give me a pump and make me stronger. The standing military press was nice and heavy, then it was hard going into seated dumbell shoulder press and seated lateral raises. I enjoyed the reverse flyes as this was done on the machine in the upstairs part of the gym, I used to think that Jenny Lynn (Miss Olympia had great rear delts, but I am thinking mine are better!) Arms was good, it was a cable curl warm up with two sets and then into incline supination curls, same with the triceps, it was a two set warm up with pressdowns and then a really nice exercise called close grip push and press, which is a close grip press into a french press. Really nice and hard and then dips! Love my workout! always have an inane grin on my face afterwards! Then I trained three clients and home for lunch with client work and website work to do. One of my clients has lost two stone, so have just been writing up her testimony in our next edition of winning times (29).
