Monday 11th Feb
Went away for the weekend with Helen and trained at Bath University Gym again. Helen is starting a new training split from Tuesday so we did my program together. We started on seated shoulder press from 10kg to 15kg and then I did standing dumbell lateral raises whilst Helen did them seated. We both superset upright rows into dumbell shruggs (I tried to make this exercise as hard as I could, as last week Simon blitzed me on this). Then it was onto back and we both did 3 sets of wide grip chins to get a connection with our lats, that worked! I did reverse grip bent over rows and dumbell pullovers (Helen did dumbell deadlifts and single arm rows). We practised our posing in the gym. Helen was blown and stopped so I carried on and did arms. Now typing this I can still feel my biceps, they are ‘off the bone!’. I went into incline supination curls straight into dumbell hammer curls into overhead tricep extensions (2 sets). Then pressdowns for triceps into free dips into barbell curls (2 sets). Fit ball crunches and the plank. JD (job done!)
The workout was great, we both took Animal Pump post workout and I am pleased to say that I wasn’t as crazy as the week before. It must have been the coffee earlier in the day that got me up. So I am pleased to say that Animal Pump is staying in my workouts!
Had a great post workout meal and truly fed our muscles and also went in the New Spa Baths where the thermal fed waters soothed our aching muscles and the steam rooms did their job. Great workout, great weekend away, just hope my biceps will be ready to go for tomorrows workout, if not might have to leave arms out. I will see how they are after PUMP class tonight.
