Comments

Alex said "Si, come and do a full body workout, so I met with him expecting some leg presses, benching etc., and he decides to do a conditioning course - bastard!!! It was great fun, although I couldn't do a couple of the movements due to shoulder and I was hanging out of my arse, but this will get me fit and ripped, so I'm gonna do more of this.

Your Burpee's were quite funny as you were running back and forth over half the gym area for some reason. I thought you did well though all things considered as you've not trained Legs for over a year or done this form of CV.

Comment

Right Shoulder still feels bad, so not overdoing chest as I don't want the injury to worsen.

Leg strength is coming on quick which I expected as I also had strong legs before the injury.

Also nice new Aussie Female PT who I'd do down under!

Are you doing lots of RC warm-ups Si? I always do them before any pushing movements these days and am sure they help.

I do mate, but I hurt myself playing with my son - I should have warmed up! Getting old Ollie, may be time to get on the HRT!

Theres defo some fight left in you yet old Silverback

There must be some private clinics down there in the big smoke that will sort you out with some HRT on a script? Like all these yanks are up to?

A wee spike of GH would probably do you wonders Si from what ive been reading?

Good Solid Session

New Dumbells. On the left 48's next to the old 54's. The Drip is much wider and cambered which makes moving them about easier:

Looking good Si.

Those DB's look a lot better to use. Forgot how wide those old 54's were.

What's really good is the thickness of the grip. I think you'll be happy on Thursday.

That conditioning session with Alex looks like a lot of fun.

It was hard, as I Hadn't done stiff like that in years. I will try and do more of those during the year.

Jeeeees. Those 54s look enormous! Ones in my gym are much more like your new ones with thick double-tapered grips.

those 54's are huuuge! the metal old school styles are smaller!

I know, the PT's all want metal, but because it DL it's rubber cased!

You gonna get some one else to move them?

I should just about be able to roll them out for a picture with a little help. They are bad boys but not as big looking as those 55kg ones above in terms of width

I make my DBs up with the old style metal pro plates, makes for a much more manageable size
