dead………deadlifts!
Well done to my client Chantel. The first time she has gone away and to America of all places and only come back with a weight increase of 1lb. Chantel trained at the Golds Gym, Illinois in St Louis at least 5 times in her 10 day stay, what focus and dedication is that! I even had a text telling me. Well done for enjoying your holiday but managing to keep the focus on your exercise. Just shows it can be done and you don’t need to be a competitior to be as focussed as that! Not sure the huge ice cream before boarding the flight home was ok though, that was meant to be a protein only day!!! Well done, 5 weeks and its bikini time for her next holiday so work it!!
Training was intense and immense yesterday, I trained with SJ, Jon and Brian in the power room, it was LEGS! Single leg presses with db jump squats and then 3 sets of the wide deadlift bar - doing deadlifts. Just when I thought that was it, it was squats. I was really pleased with my deadlifts at 10kg a side as the bar weighs 37kg on its own and my squats were good and strict with a plate a side! Horrific leg curls up next, they were partner assisted on the bosu ball. Your partner kneels behind you with their hands on your heels and you remain kneeling on the bosu ball with your arms folded and you use the negative phase of lowering to work the HAMSTRINGS, trying not to smash your nose on the floor and then trying to bounce back off the floor (with not your head) to an upright position to do it all again. Great exercise and it was the first muscle to come on aching, almost straight away. Tired today from the workout as busy on shift, PUMP and clients, but eating well today and ready for tomorrows session of CHEST and BACK!
