Delts and Hams - strong woman!
This morning I trained clients until lunchtime, it was a nice morning so took Lesley and Corinna outside and trained them in the outside gym, it was a great session, it included car park sprint/track work.
I tried to have a look around again for black shoes for my pre-judging whilst my lunch was cooking, but no luck! Fingers crossed for Saturday!
Back to the gym for Jon to take me through Delts and Hams. Felt a bit tired before the workout, but told myself I have only 5 weeks to go and that’s not too many workouts left. The workout was great, Jon was really pleased with me and I was much stronger this week than last week. We started with the power cleans again and they came much more naturally to me, he also put the wrong weight on so I was lifting heavier to start, but I lifted, so that’s what matters. I got up to 8.75 kg a side for 8 reps! We went upstairs for the upright bb rows at 25kg and into reverse bb shruggs up to 35kg, working with a 12/10/8 set. Cable front raises stayed the same with the standing military shoulder press at 35kg, again 12/10/8. Single arm db lateral raises were harder today, I guess it’s because I started lifting heavier, but I got through them and Jon said my form was stricter than last week. Next up was hamstrings, oh my goodness, these were hard but again, stronger, found them easier than monday, maybe its being prodded by a coach that makes you work harder, or the fact that they tell you ‘I’m not going to spot you, do it yourself!’ works. We are going to try 40kg on the seated leg curl next week and we superset the lying leg curl with 35kg (that can’t possibly go up, can it Jon???) Stiff leg deadlifts at 35kg and I superset the plank again. My abs are very sore today, feel like MONICA BRANT ABS could be coming through! Got my new ab programme again tomorrow, should be fun, with a little warm up of stairclimber. I finished 40 min of cardio today on the treadmill with Helen, that was nice to catch up. Her dvd of lasdt years Europeans has arrived, so she can see what the looked like last year and their routines etc.
Back on the evening shift at the gym, so a good day. Tired now, but food ready for tomorrow, and I am ready for ARMS………………..
