Tuesday 19th February
This morning I trained Arms and Shoulders. My traps are still sore from saturday’s workout, so Simon advised me to start with arms today. this could be a new change to my workout, with one session arms first then shoulders and then on the third session shoulders first then arms. This is because both are a priority. I warmed up on dips and reverse grip chins to warm up tris and bis. Then I completed a tri-set with pressdowns into barbell curls into overhead lying cable curls. For today’s workout my focus was to think about my biceps and to try and make them ‘peak higher’. I could see this happening on the lying cable curls. Then it was onto close grip bench into incline db sup curls. Then another tri-set with bb press into upright rows into db lateral raises, this was the hardest exercise today for me, really struggled through the first set, but the second set was better. The two sets of 8 reps of db shoulder presses at the regular position and then the second set with db’s turned in (almost like Arnie press without the twist). Then onto reverse flyes for my rear delts and reverse shruggs on the smith machine. I left calves out as I wanted to do 25 mins incline hill walking on the treadmill and will do 3 x sets of 100 reps throughout the day and I have decided to do this every day as my calves need it!
A good session for me and my arms were pumped but I am a little disappointed as I think I could have pushed myself more.
This week I am starting to take some of my clients who have registered for our Serious Fit Event on the 30th March for their trial runs, to see what times they are approximately. And to the pleasure of my clients who are not doing it, I am taking them through it as fun!
Good news today, my weight was up by 1 1/2 lb. Next week goal 1/2 lb.
