Quads and New Shoes!
Today I went shoe shopping again with Helen and bought a pair of black heels for my pre-judging. They are 4 inches in comparison to other heels that are 5 inches. They look good. Tomorrow we are both meeting up with Simon to have a look at skin condition and to get some new pics for my site and pics for our next Winning Times article on Shoulders, so I am sat here typing with my first coat of Jan Tana. One more coat later on and then one more tomorrow morning. 5 weeks to go tomorrow!
This afternoons training was Quads. I was stronger tonight for this session in comparison to last Saturday. I started with leg extension and went straight into 35kg for 12 reps, 40 for 10 reps and 45 for 8 reps, reckon next week I will go heavier again, it was a tri-set with seated leg curls and again the weight went up and stayed exactly the same as the leg extension but I stayed with 3 plates for the leg press 12/10/8, the reps were deeper than last week so I was happy. Next up was front squats, last week was 5kg either side on the smith machine, so I increased the weight up to 10kg either side for 3 sets of 12 reps, then it was superset onto walking leg lunges with the 10kg weight. Again, my legs felt stronger, so I was really happy. I did donkey calf raises with a plate a side with 3 sets of 30 reps, this was the first time I have done calves since monday as my achilles is feeling much better (thanks Jon!). Cardio for 40 mins uphill treadmill. Just starting to feel hungry so off for chicken and potato and asparagus.
This week as I mentioned before food is staying the same, adjustments for food and training happenning in the last 4 weeks, I have a meeting with Simon later on in the week to discuss.
Tomorrow is Back and Biceps, can’t wait!!!
