DELTS
Great training session today, it was hard work as today I am still a little tired. Had 130g (steak), asparagus and (160g) sweet potato for lunch, it was amazing, so I knew the workout had to be good. I was stronger in my upright barbell rows this week, started off for 12 reps with the 25kg bar and then straight into the 30kg for the 10/8 reps and stripped to 20kg for 8 reps. I did the 20kg dumbells for the 3 sets of 15 reps and then downstairs to the power room for the standing military shoulder press, Helen came down and gave me a spot, I started with the 12 reps with 5kg a side and then the 10 reps with 7.5kg either side, adding on the 1.75 for the last 8 reps, we stripped to 5kg either side for the drop set of 8 reps. then it was onto the 7.5kg for single arm dumbell lateral raises, standing calves, 3 sets of 100 reps and the planks. I completed 20 mins on the stairclimber and then 20 mins on the treadmill, I was knackered by end of the session, think my blood pressure had dropped this afternoon as I was tired. Quick shower, meal 4 (eggs and oats) and back to personal training till the end of the evening.
I had a meeting with Simon this morning regarding contest notes and body, he seems happy with how things are going, I have been having a few too many carbs when having my oats, so tomorrow I am sure I will be hungry, as I will be about 25g carbs short throughout the day! Not the end of the world though, at least I am not on half carbs for meals 4 and 5 like Helen is at the moment, now she is hungry! Going shopping for my black shoes next weekend and looking forward to buying my electronic scales this weekend, so I can be perfect with my portions.
Feeling good, tired but it has been a busy week and we have the ‘Serious Fit Event’ this weekend (sunday) at the gym which I am organising. We look like we have 36 contestants this year and there is a real buzz around the gym! It’s great.
Looking forward to teaching PUMP tomorrow night, as has been ages since last class (due to Easter hols). Also got my ‘crystal wand microdermabrasion’ tomorrow for my skin.
Hamstrings are tomorrow and next week is changes to my training, so looking forward to that, my biceps are killing me from yesterdays workout, great stuff!!! I am growing!!!
