Well, almost a month has gone by now and my training seems to be going well.

I can definitely notice a difference. I have reverted to the good old classic split of 4 days a week.

Monday: chest & triceps

Wednesday: Shoulders & Abs

Friday: Back & Biceps

Saturday: Legs & bodyweight press-ups.

I feel like I am stripping some fat away and building muscle again so over all I am quite pleased.

However, it could all go a bit wrong this weekend as I am away seeing some friends and we are going for a slap up tapas meal. That means buckets of chorizo…. umm, I can taste it now! All washed down with numerous beers ( and a cheeky tequila) I predict.

Ah well, back in the gym on monday… pretend the weekend never happened!

Hi everyone,

Apologies for being slack on my blogging recently but my training has really taken a back seat of late and i’m very disappointed in myself. It seems to have been one injury after another.

First my neck, then my back then my wrist and so on! makes me wonder whether keeping fit is good for your health! haha.

Anyways, I had a good session back last night on my chest and triceps. Bit tight in the back today but that is to be expected i guess.

Just got back from a week in the lake district and did a lot of walking which seems to have been a good kick start to my summer regime ( although no point as it is such RUBBISH weather at the moment, so much for the promise of a good summer ).

Going again tonight, going to try and have a workout on my shoulders, i’ll let you all know if they hold up tomorrow.

James.

Oh dear.

I joined a my new gym about a week ago and it was going great until this morning. Doing my normal chest flyes ( normal 26’s), and that annoying, niggling muscle has gone again in my back! So, had to cut my training short. Hope it is only a short lived problem though, hopefully will be back in a couple of days.

Think i may start back with some cardio anyway as thinking i am quickly slipping into comfort food teritory after holiday, need to stop that asap!

Great day today. Got up early, went to the gym and did a fantatsic chest workout…

3 X flat bech press

3 X incline dumbell flyes

3 X cross over flyes

3 X stability ball dumbell press

3 X press ups.

Then went and picked my girlfriend up and went to the swimming baths for an hour. Came home, had some lunch, had a kip and then went back to te gym to do triceps. Awesome… feeling it now though!

Forgot to ask though, anyone watch the wimbledon final? best final i have EVER seen. I use to play a lot of tennis in my younger days so love it when wimbledon comes on for a couple of weeks a year.

Even my missus loved it, although I think it may had had something more to do with the fact she has a little crush on Nadal!

By the way, has anyone else got any similar blogs that they are writing on the same subject as me, really interested to see how other people may be getting on ( or falling behind ) with their progress.

I had a weekend off as i was a way at a wedding. Really going to hit it hard tonight but still feel shattered so need a big pile of pasta or something a couple of hours before.

Chest tonight and either biceps or triceps.
