Saturday 12th Jan - jan tana test day
Today I tested myself with my tanning product ‘jan tana’. I had a few skin issues in my last contest, so I decided to regularly exfoliate and moisturise and then test my skin with the body building tan. It wasn’t too bad, I can see areas that I need to make sure are well moisturised and I will have to keep an eye on them. In figure/body fitness, you are marked on the skin tone and the condition of your skin. It was nice to put my two-piece suit on again and I like my hair in the pictures being blonde, so I will keep my hair the same now for this years shows. I will test again in two months time. I trained afterwards and had some photos taken, they look good with my tan and I will meet with Brian (my website designer) and get the pictures put on, I was pumped up as I trained shoulders and arms.
SHOULDERS AND ARMS
Started with shoulders first, heavy Olympic bar shoulder presses, then i pressed the 15kg dumbells for shoulder press (easy!) for 8 reps, heavy lateral raises then a light set. Reverse barbell shruggs and then into arms. Same as last week, only this week everything was little easier. I am still on my no2, think that and plenty of good food and rest is what makes my workout good for me. My arms were crying out, it was biceps and I only did 2 strict sets of 15 reps, the blood was pumped and it was hurting, not too bad with the pressdowns, but then it got worse, it was incline supination curls, single arm. Simon coached me today through this workout and just when I wanted to stop, he would say 2/3/4 more! (The benefits of working out with a coach!) That was the hardest part of my workout today, the close grip push and press was good and I was really strong in my dips. Going to feel it tomorrow!
