ARMS
I am sat here typing my ‘blog’ with a tan! Today and tomorrow I am running a test with Jan Tana. It is to see how my skin looks with the tan and to have a look at it’s condition. So for those of you that know what competition tans look like, then you will know I will be staying in and working!
ARMS
This afternoon was Arms, I am a little tired today, suppose I have been working hard and training has gone up to the 6 days week with cardio and it was the first week of my pre-contest diet. But, I got myself into the training mode, by watching the training scene of Rocky 2, where he trying to catch the chicken but eventually does and has the children running through the streets with him! Classic. I started with triceps pressdowns into overhead tricep extensions for 3 sets of 12/10/8. Next was bench dips (Dean was around and was able put weight onto my legs (up to 25 kg today, usually I can do heavier, but the fist exercise had pumped my triceps right up), then it was into incline dumbell supination curls with 10kg, working on the 12/10/8 (strip to 8) set. The last arms exercise was cable curls for biceps with kneeling double arm overhead bicep curls, my forearms were failing on this last exercise. I think my triceps today got more of a pump than my biceps, will have to speak to my coach about that, but next time, we may change the exercises around and start with biceps? Finished off with calves (3 sets of 50 reps), got a real good squeeze in my calves today, so was pleased with that. Cardio was half hour on the incline treadmill, and E.T was on, so that made the time pass quick. I am hungry as I a writing this, so got to go and cook my chicken, sweet potatoes and veg, YUMMMMMMMMM!
