Think i’m ready for my comeback

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

So … It has now been over a week since my neck went again and my cold has cleared ( why does everyone want windows practically glued shut in the winter, just to create a playground for germs ? ). Anyway, a short back and bicep workout tonight is definitely in order. I’ve already gorged on quality streets for my breakfast for the past week so now starting to think I better do something about it, especially after walking round with my neck stationary and not moving for more than 10 yards at a time!

So, tonight, I need to start back into it slowly and not over do it…

I think just some wide grip pull ups, deadlifts, bent over rows and shrugs should be enough for my back. Then I am going to do curls and hammers for my biceps, then depending on if my body has held up I am going to have a quick 1000 meter sprint on the rowing machine.

I must help the abs to appear again and knowing I have quite a few clothes coming my way for Christmas, I don’t want to disappoint Santa with them not fitting!

I’ll let you all know how I get on,

gym before work … great wake up call

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Just a quick question to throw out there …

I have recently just joined an outside gym ( as the gym i use in my buiding has run its course). This out side gym is an independant gym and hence a bit smaller than the larger chains but is considerably cheaper.

I was wondering how much everyone pays for gym membership? I enquired at a large chain earlier this week and they quoted me £50 a month and a £30-£50 joining fee. Surely this is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE???

The one i joind was £85 for 3 months which works out about £28 a month which i think is very reasonable. Just interested how much these gyms can charge up to.

Anyway, was there at 7.00am this morning, me and one other person. Huge deadlifts … loved it.
