Shoulders, back and Chest - 4 weeks to go……..
30 mins cardio on the stairclimber first thing this morning with abs, breakfast, e mails and clients in the gym all morning. Trained Alison this morning and her body shape is really changing again, she is due for a holiday break in Rome in a couple of weeks, so she has a really good workout head on. Home for lunch and rest and then back in for a big workout of shoulders, back and chest!
What a workout it was, I felt really sick on the 30 mins treadmill at the end. The workout was really hard, but due to eating those extra carbs yesterday I looked huge when training shoulders. That was worth training shoulders to see that, it excites me as that mean when I get carb depleted before show and then have my carb meal, I should retain some size, I am a pound heavier today when I weighed, so all in all not bad day at all.
Shoulders was interesting as I haven’t done standing military press for a couple of weeks, I wish I had started heavier as the last set for 8 reps was with 7.5kg either side and I could have done the 8 3/4 kg with ease today. So have put notes in for next week to go heavier. Single arm db lateral raises was great 8 reps with 10kg, 8 reps with 7kg and 20 reps with 5kg, I would say this was a personal best for me. Upright rows were incrdibly hard and so were the cable fron raises (forearms were blown). Reverse grip pulldown for back was next, I used my versa gripps again for this workout and was able to pull with ease the 50kg down for 8 reps, feeling strong, then it was 2 more drop sets, repeated all over again. Wide seated rows, pec dec and vertical chest press and calves. The workout was great but it was too long for me, so Simon is goi9ng to have a look at cutting it down. The idea behind is to change my fibres to fast twitch, so that I can burn calories and get more shape.
No food prep tonight thank goodness, I can do meals tomorrow, going to chill…………………
