The new improved fitness thread

[Kwacky]

Gym was busy again but there was only the pec deck I couldn't get on, so I did some barbell chest work on a bench instead.

[Itchy]

Worked on the ol' guns today.



Well, I say guns, Derringers maybe!

I really struggled at the gym last night training back.

I settled on doing 4 sets til failure of various pull ups (wide grip, wide grip bar behind head, narrow grip chin up) followed by seated row..

Nearly sick when i got home and felt low so I recovered with a shake and Dominoes

Pizza makes the world a better place.

[dogbot]

But it makes my stomach a flabbier place, too.

Tonight's public gym session with my instructor mate and my yoga pant sporting other mate will be brutal.

[Cav]

Football training tonight which means no gym and I'm home before the girlfriend.... Xbox time for me !!

Anyone play MotoGP15? If so I'll start a new thread

[Perkles]

I went in the garage today and lifted as much as I can for as long as I can,I'm tired now

[dogbot]

2 hour gym session last night (back and upper arms) means that I was almost dead by 8 pm. Hour run after that completed the task.

This is zombie dogbot, typing from the other side.

My stomach looks nice and flat nearly 6 weeks after Xmas, though.

[Kwacky]

My stomach looks like Ive still got food in the house left over from Christmas

[Itchy]

Missed leg day yesterday, so added deadlifts to this morning's back routine, it's been a while since I've done them so things got a little shaky!

Did a longer workout today as I'm off work, really enjoyed it but my hands are in bits, and the Toby Carvery breakfast I had afterwards probably hasn't helped my waistline, but hey, all you can eat for £3.99!

[Perkles]

Lol what's a flat stomach ?

[Kwacky]

It's when you lie on your back and the fat drops to the sides.

[dogbot]

I'm letting the side down, huh? I'm 41 and not that far off a six pack.

Sorry.

[Kwacky]

The usual Friday night muppets so I did a quick circuit of the machines. I'll do a proper session tomorrow

[Itchy]

Stupidly stayed up until half one last night playing Fallout, consequently didn't fancy an early morning session today.

Walking the dog was as close as I got to any form of exercise!

[Kwacky]

Got an hour in this afternoon but mostly did back as my right arm was killing me.

[Cav]

Leg yesterday - feel pretty good today but I can tell they'll be wrecked tomorrow.

Since lowering the weight to work on form I went up to 137.5kg squats for 4 sets and 6 sets of calf raises at 130kg. Leg press too and walking lunges (I literally hate these!)

Hitting back tonight and shoulders tomorrow before football wednesday

[Kwacky]

That's an impressive squat

[Cav]

Thanks mate.. my first squat about 3 years ago was around 80kg and I really struggled haha

[Kwacky]

I've only recently started doing squats and it's highlighted a weakness on the inner aspect of my pelvis, so it's all about reps with a light weight for me. Max I use is 75kg.
