I hope you have all done your ACTION plan and set GOALS for the year ahead?
Now its time to put them in gear and drive forward……..
Friday afternoon, I had a great outdoor sprint session with Helen and Jon. We went to the beach and did beach sprints at 3/4 pace x 5 and then x 5 with a harness on, and double jumped a hurdle, 2 x 20. It was a crazy easterly wind, but was great to be outdoors and then we did hill sprints, each of us choosing a path to the top, I of course chose the worst one and that was really hard!
Helen is preparing for her ‘Arnold Amatuer Debut’ on the 3rd March at the Arnold Classic, Ohio, USA, she has just under 9 weeks to go and has in the lat few days showed that she is leaning up and her body is starting to change, she will look great as she is on target now, eating every 2 hours, 7 meals a day! Double cardio a day, training with weights 3- 4 times a week and gymnastics and soon routine practice! A lot of hard work but well worth it.
This morning I trained arms with Dean. He planned the session, we started off with triceps and did dips then ez bar push (close grip) straight into press (french press), that got the triceps going! and then it was on tricep pressdowns on the cable crossover machine. Biceps up next cable curls superset into db hammer curls, every thing was 3 sets, Dean worked on a 12/10/8 and I stayed around a 12/10/10, I tried to stay lighter and to feel the squeeze with a contraction held at the top/end.
Tomorrow is the start of the week for everyone to be officially back to work and we at the gym are ready for the new members where we can help them reach and attain their goals, should be a busy couple of months, but very rewarding.
Don’t forget PUMP starts back tomorrow at 6pm, arrive early to get your token from reception to claim your step and please arrive early to set your station up!
NOTE: to all my clients, I hope your fridges are now clear from all rubbish and only with fresh produce, lets all start the way we mean to go on, and that also means that your cuboards are free from any rubbish!
