Training over the past couple of days has gone very well and once again I have decided to mix things up again but this time I have stayed away from the Bicep Curl. I’ve done 6 exercises over the past couple of days and I have felt very good.
My first 3 exercises were the Squat, the Leg Press and Lat Pull Downs. I did as many as I could on each exercise with a 3 minute rest after each set. The exercises were done at the heaviest I could manage. It turned out to be a really good cardio session.
Today I did another 3 exercises and I went as heavy as I could with the Chest Press, Lat Pull Downs and the Dead lift. I changed the Lat Pull Down body position to leaning as far back as I could to get the max benefit from my back.
Today seemed a bit easier than yesterday but my grip let me down on the Dead lift. The Dead Lift is one of those exercises that when you get it right feels fantastic. I knew I could have done more but I just couldn’t hold onto the bar. My form was very good, even though I say so myself. Yesterday was my first time on the squat with a proper grip of the bar. I was very pleased with that, although it was a bit painful getting under the bar and out from under it but once in position I had no real issues.
I’ll not be able to train tomorrow due to work commitments, so I intend to mix it up again on Thursday. That will leave me with 4 training days before I go home. So I intend to do one more heavy day followed by some steady light rehab training. That’s the plan anyway.
The Mental Visualisation has been going really well, 9 out of 10 rides are now calm cool and collected. I can ride without using my trigger word and I’ve been really enjoying my trips out. I’ll find out in a few days if it has all been worthwhile.
