Monday shoulders and delts. limited the number of excercises i did but concentrated on strict form and lifting as heavy as i can.

Tuesday back and bis, same rules, however this time i had my  new Ipod….mmmmmmm…. instead o listening to the same ole stuff in the gym i have prodigy, underworld, timo mass, pumping in my skull….yes it does make a difference

i feel like my old self again and cant wait till my next session, got sprints and football practice tonight then legs and chest to finish off the week.

bring it !

last night i was supposed to run sprints, i was workign at home for the day and meant to meet my muni at the gym, she was meeting her new coach.

didnt happen, as i sat in the car (hoestly) trying to get myslef syched for the run, i actually started to fall asleep….

so went back indoors/

im back to my 4 day split, with modifications and im not convincedi have it right so im going to take advie from my BB freinds and see what they think. my weight has stalled at 64 + and my BF is allegedly around the mid teens tho im not sure where its all hiding

tonight im eithe ron chest / triceps or legs.

now heres the rub.

when i trin like this, 4 day with legs on their own i dont get the gains id expect, upppe body seems to gain for a while but then with the assisitive work i get training uper body id expect, but legs just hurt for four days and still look like sticks…

push / pull split

back to lower / upper

5 day split ( too much?)

he issue is i cant run steps on sunday if i squat thursday.

confused. ill figure it out

J

so im tired, real tired and its monday, which is not good,

i get throughteh day and drag my ass to the gym, because i have to, i will not quit. and besides i have a class to teach.

im back on a spilt over 4 days so im startign to work out my weight range, i dont want t lift for more than 90 mins on each day and i hwat to work big excercises rather than iso. 

so i start on a shoulder / traps day,  not too bad, was focuses and concnertrated on how i was lifting as opposed to what i was lifiing, wasn’t happy with what i saw in the mirror but hey, thats why i was there, right.

then its class time, i take a littel rest before goign in to teach expectiing a low turn out. feeling better, not as tired and a littel buzz from my training.

studio’s packed. this is good, a big crowd gives you an audience to work with.

i crack a few about the happy clappy aerobics class next door, risky, it pays of im away,

i rocked! i haven’t tought a class that good in a long while, i was soooo on qu and so hyped. i took them up and down and they (mostly) reponded

now i feel more like my old self

bring it!!!! 

I’m planning on one more week of ‘freelancing’ before i reckon im back used to lifting on a regular basis, my lift are still light, but last night i felt more like my old self, challenging myself to try heavier weights and go for it a little more.  still light but better.

last night i ran with deadlifts, bench, military press, bar rows, finshed with bi curl and weighed dips.

today i reckon a lower body set starting with squats.

gotta say some of the support an comments coming from the guys here on Bodyspace helps, the motivation comes from wanting to achieve levels that i know are reachable.

im even getting a handle on my eating plan, see serious.

the GF is also switching it up, she plans to compete in a show in September, once she signs up then she HAS to hit the gym hard, i have a feeling its going to be an intersting summer..;)

in short, its all good

stay heathy

still struggling to regain the drive, still working compound sets in a full body workout, keeping it short and making sure i hit every major group.

finished with some hill sprints

on the plus side ive arranged to see a nutritionist too see if / where im goiing wrong with my diet.

small steps

J

man this is hard, mentally hard, i know that even now i can lift more than i am BUT i also know that i need to let my body strengthen after the long lay off, so i hold back, for now.

its so damn frustrating, plus the GF took some ‘before shots’……that made my mood worse, i keep telling myself that i will have forgotten all this frustration in a month or so…just a month, id kill for her genetics

is it always this hard?
