Love sweating!!
I did my shoulders today, started with 3 sets of military press, 12kgs, 15kgs, 15kgs supersetted with lunges. Side lateral raises with 5kgs, 4 sets supersetted with step ups. Bent over lateral raises, 3 sets, 5kgs each supersetted with step ups. Front raises with 5kgs each supersetted with plie squats. Upright rows, 3 sets of 20kgs, did 3 sets of calves 40kgs. I used to use alot more weight with side laterals but I came to realise my form wasnt so great, so now I go slow, no jerking. I am working on upping the weight though.
So the supersets are really making me sweat, feels great. I’m really enjoying eating more carbs, I hope this is not to my detriment but I would really like more size and I hope that this is the right way to go. I do feel stronger and am recovering better. I am keeping my protein intake high as well.
Yesterday I tried freezing my bsn choclate dessert shake and it was marvelous, just like ice cream, even my kids were begging for some!
I made this fantastic dish yesterday.I made a cup of organic brown rice, chopped up an onion and fried in 1 tsp of olive oil, added sweet basil and added about 6 chopped chicken breasts, sauted that and added 4 chopped chillies and 1 cup of cooked brown lentils and 2 chopped rosa tamatoes, herb salt to taste and added brown rice when chicken was cooked, since I made so much I have quite a few meals left for my weekend. Preparation equals success! Yum!

Supersetting is great, saves so much time that otherwise would have been spent ‘resting’ between sets. I also superset but throw in an ab exercise as well. E.g, 1. side lateral raise, dumbbell curl, knee up, 2. rear lateral raise, seated curl, crunch, 3. front raise, overhead triceps extension, cross crunch, etc. Google staggered ab training for more info. Btw the food sounds delicious!
