Good! I'm glad to see you getting back into training too

Saturday28 April 2012 - Bits & Bobs!

One Tuesday night I collapsed at home and was taken to A&E where I had ECG, Blood Tests and a Chest Xray. Plus an IV put in a saline etc., pump through by a doctor sort of milking the IV bag/ All rather rock n roll.

It seems that 4 1/2 days of diareah and work do not mix as I was seriously dehydrated.

So did a little chest up to 5 reps with 50kgs bell, some shoulders and arms. Nothing much but pretty good considering.

Trained on Saturday and today (Sunday(

Just light chest and triceps and then today Back and biceps.

Did okay really, just please to be doing anything at the moment

Jeebus simon, take care of yourself. Get yourself more alkaline!

Fuck you **** -= I need acid and loads of it!

Some recent sessions:

Just a few notes from the sessions I do.

I try and train 4/5 days per week and keep sessions below 45 minutes as at 44 years old, my stamina isn't as good as It once was.

Comment

As I trained chest yesterday, the triceps moves are all light weight as all I'm doing is flushing blood through to help with recuperation from yesterday.

The Spider cable curls are the single best biceps exercise I know, complete isolation and really focused mind/muscle connection.

In terms of volume, I'm doing a lot, but arms seem to respond better that way. However, I never go to complete failre as this would be too taxing and counter productive.

Tuesday 17 July 2012 - shoulders and triceps

Smith Press weights only not bar (Bar is circa 20kgs)

40kgsx10,80kgsx8,70kgsx6, 60kgsx10 - slight nigle in the right shoulder, so kept the weight down - no need to injure myself.

Face Down Rear Deltoid Dumbell Fly (weight per DB)

24kgsx8,22kgsx8,38ksx6,36kgsx6 - heavier weight than last week - very hard

DB Side Lat Raise: 18kgsx8, 20kgs x 8 - heavier again

Triceps Rope Extension: 25kgsx12, 30kgsx12, 32.5x10 - weights up again

Comment

Despite a minor niggle, most weights heavier, so next week will try to underpin this weeks gains, by getting higher reps.

Didn't training Wednesday - I have a very heavy cold and whilst I might have been able to sheift a few weights around, sometimes you just have to give your body a break and come back when you're feeling better.

I will be training on Saturday down the Club at 9am and I'll be benching the 55kgs Dumbells.

Almost the same as last week, not really trying too hard as arms are easily fatigued. Will have a play around with exercises next time out though as I need a bit more size on the gunnnzzz.

Currently 17/5" cold, looking to go to 18" cold

Thanks mate, nice to know I'm almost dead..... again.....

Actually, I've been off here for a while as I hardly trained due to the illness. Now I'm back, but still having problems.

Not much fun, but I'm doing what I can.

Rugby coaching is going well though.

Good to see you back on it mate.

Rugby on a Sunday?

@ Alex I'm training Kids on Thursday Nights and Saturnday Mornings, but Sundays from September. You'd be very welocmed to join and we have our open day on Sunday 9th September which if the weather is good would be a nice day out if you and the Family Temper fancies a trip out!
