Wednesday 16th January
Yesterday was weigh in and LEGS!
I have gained a 1lb in weight! Very pleased with my weight progress and then I hit legs hard. I have just moved onto a new product NE2 (another nitric oxide product), we are stocking this at Winners 2000 and most of the staff are on this, so will be evaluating this product, it is meant to be very good.
I was definately stronger this week for legs, maybe because the first session takes times to choose weights, but I was definately stronger. Hit leg extensions first and got a few more reps on the rest pause set and the weight was up by 5kg too. It was also the same with lying leg curls too. My legs just about carried me down the stairs to the leg press where I got a spot by Dean and hit the 3 plates deep for the 8 rep rest pause set (sets of 8 again!). I decided to increase my weight on the barbell lunges (3 sets of 20) from the Olympic bar to 2.5kg either side, hard but I did it. the hack squats and the deadlifts where hard and then I got a real squeeze and pump in my calves. I did 90 secs full planks and side planks to finish my abs and squeezed in 20 mins brisk walking uphill on the treadmill. Legs are sore today, but I am a little tired and don’t think they will be recovering as quick as usual. I just need to make sure my food stays good and I get rest/sleep when I can. The gym is very busy at the moment with new members and old members alike and lots are changing their membership contracts over to the 2 year membership deal which is great.
Tomorrow is chest and back. Looking forward to my training and it looks like next week my training is changing again, but more of that at the end of my weekly recap.
