I’m gonna rest today and tomorrow (with the exception of walks/runs) then gonna try a PB deadlift on Monday :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Well, I went out last night and drank…I had an amazing time:)) I had a couple of white wine spritzers, a frozen daquari, a june bug cocktail and a few lager shandys. I feel great this morning. I have been looking into female bodybuilders and their workouts, I did a leg workout by Ava Cowan that killed my legs for two days and another fem bb back and biceps, which also hurt good (I’ll post both vids soon). I feel ok for the gym today, but gonna keep it light, with fairly low weight deads and lunges and core work. Have a great day everyone :))
I didn’t go to the gym today, even though I feel good. The rest has renewed my vigour, and I’m planning on 4 days per week at the gym MAXIMUM, 2 leg/core days and 2 upper body days. I’m going to try and be more social and go out a little more. I love training but it can’t be my life, we all need some fun. I also want to thank all those that I follow for your motivation and information, and those that follow me for your support and making me feel I’m not just talking to myself :) x
I am purchasing a weightlifting belt, for heavy deads and squats. I want a leather one, but being a vegan, it seems a bit hypocritical. I don’t like the quality of non-leather ones, so I have decided to buy 2 second hand leather belts from ebay. One wide, padded backed and another slimmer, non padded. After lots of though, and research, I have decided that I will buy leather, wool etc second hand only.
I really want to go to the gym tomorrow…I will have an early night tonight and see how I feel in the morning :)
I’m going to force myself into at least 2 rest days (Sunday and Monday), as I’ve found, this week, that I’m tired, emotional and unmotivated. I’m lost in what plan to follow and think I might be doing too much. My rest days will be spent creating a new workout plan. Hope everyone has a good weekend :)
After two and a half years of being teetotal, I am thinking of reintroducing wine back in moderation.
Yesterdays gym session was good, but todays was AWESOME.
Workout with my MMA instructor, he had us doing a Randy Coutoure workout
With dumbbells
8 Bench press
8 Deadlift
8 Hand cleans
8 Shoulder press
8 Lunge (4each leg)
8 Snatch (4 each arm)
Each set you use heavier dumbbells..
I started on 10kg DBs then did 12,14,16,18 then went on to 20kg. Then he said we are only doing 5 sets, but to try for a sixth.
With the 20kg DBs I managed 4 bench press, 8 deadlift, 4 hand cleans, 4 shoulder press (each side), 8 lunges and the 8 snatches…I finished that set, casually put the dumbbells back in their holder and lay in a weight bench and went into the fetal position, heart pounding i thought i was gonna vom. That passed in a couple of minutes and then I felt great. It was one of the most intense workouts I’ve ever done, and in under 30mins :))
