I am now in to my second week of my new program and I’m actually feeling really good and very energetic for a change.
I have been very strict on my time spent in the gym and have put maximum effort into that 45 mins.
The only thing i will say which is frustrating me a bit, is that i need a smith machine and squat rack which the gyms i use on my dinky little island don’t have.
I am travelling to a mainland gym once a week now, just for this reason.
Last week was okay as the barbell and weights i used, i could just manage to lift on and off my shoulders. This week though i found that with going heavier the word DANGER sprung to mind. I feel disappointed that i did not achieve the maximum load that i could have pushed on my bench presses so I’m left feeling like i could of done better which is not how i like to feel.
This is my only quibble and I’m sure i can just perceiver with it and i will manage.
I will also say that my cardio sessions are NUTTS at the moment. I’m putting in all i have physically got for 30mins on the bike. Been going so fast that by the end i have to refrain from having to puke.
I have been eating banana and peanut butter sandwiches on white bread directly out the gym along with my protein/ Glut-amine shake.
Seems to hit the recovery spot on the head.
Anyway i shall keep it up and keep adding on the weights. Hopefully by the end of twelve weeks i will be somewhere close to ripped!

Today i have started a fresh.
I have been so blind trying so damn hard to get to the gym every bloody second that exists.
This is really not the way to achieve muscle or strength.
A kind friend has shown me the light by giving me a new look on things.
The program is called "Simple steps to get Huge and Shredded" written by Shawn Lebrun
I have read the info from cover to cover and the theory and conclusion of it makes so much sense.
You can calculate your BMR and find out your intake requirement of Protein-Carbs-fats needed per day.
He swears by 45mins maximum workout time using maximum weight for minimum reps.
Each body part should NOT be worked on again until the following week.
Cardio must be done on completely separate days and must be 30mins of INTENSE training.
Learning this has made me look at training in a different way and really it shouldn’t ever take over your life.
As long as you follow maximum input for your session times results should show.
I am following this program for 12 weeks to see if it makes a difference.
Wish me luck!
