It’s been a difficult few days not in the gym but trying to post anything on line. For some reason my setting have all gone hay wire on me, I’m not even sure this is going to work.
Any way the gym work has been going very well and I’m very pleased with my efforts to date. There is something very satisfying about getting an exercise right and not loosing form. I have finally nailed the iron cross (no pun intended) and my squat is now 60 kgs. My hand grip still isn’t perfect but it’s getting better each time, as for my leg press I’m now on 8 press’s on the 18 plate.
I did today’s session in 40 minutes and completed all the exercises in plenty of time. On about the 4th of August I will be retesting myself as I want to move some of the weights up. I will be testing Tim on his return from leave so it will be the ideal time to redo my own weights.
Friday’s tea wasn’t great and there’s only so much carrot and cucumber you can eat with chicken, by 20.00 hrs I was starving so I went for some tea and toast. It was really nice but I felt very guilty afterwards.
Fridays is a bad eating day anyway but I try to stay close to the rule. It’s just nice to be bad once in a while. My water intake is still good and it’s no problem getting through 8-10 bottles of water a day. Combine that with numerous cups of tea and my hydration levels are very good.
I’ve not done any serious Ab work since my return due to my injury and it is starting to show. The dreaded beer belly has started to show. It doesn’t take long for the Abs and TVA muscle to become slack and the extra pounds gather around the waist. It’s not long now and I will be on leave and from there I’m hoping to be fit enough on my return to hit the Abs big time.
From next week I will be starting the boxing bag routine as well so that should be good for a change and I’m looking forward to hitting the bag again, it's been a while. It has to be done in moderation and under control the last thing I need right now is an injury through a lack of self control. Talking of self control, my mental visualisation has really come on over the last few weeks. Although I use it mainly for my bike riding skills I seem to be a lot calmer these days. Things that would normally adjutant me or wind me up no longer do.
Just a short Blog today as I’m not sure if this is going to post.
It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you do it to the best of your ability.
