I'll try the towel thing at some point, felt a bit weird doing it in front of people at the gym so I bailed :P

 

seriously thankyou so much for the book jim, had a quick browse on my lunch break but I'll have a proper read during the week

 

Monday 12/11/12 bodyweight 80 Kg, I've been going overboard with eating perhaps I should try and eat and bulk a bit cleaner from now on, got a bit of unwanted body fat but it isn't out of control

 

I've never seen the gym so busy so tonight was a kind of do what I can workout.

 

Chin ups with hammer grip

x 8

x 6 and a half..

x 5

x 4 and a half....

 

pullups x 2

 

did 4 heavy sets on the lat pull down machine.

 

overhead press with dumbbells, I usually sit but all benches were taken so had to do it standing which was fine. (the weight is for each dumbbell)

10 Kg x 8

15 Kg x 6

20 Kg x 6

22.5 Kg x 3 Much better!!

17.5 Kg x 8

 

at this point it was so ridiculously busy by the free weights I decided to just do some machine work instead of standing around like a twat..

so 4 sets of machine shoulder side raises and 3 sets of bicep curl machine.

 

wednesday and friday will consist of squats deads and bench so I'm looking forward to it!

Well im studying animal sciences and management at college so I get to use their gym for free, its full of personal trainer trainees and students and it is always busy.. There's a fairly decent freeweight section which is all I really need but there's only a few benches and just one power rack :/

Get a log going mannnn I'll be sure to follow it! And ahha I get that response from a friend that I train with, I've just always enjoyed them. When I first started training I could just about do 3 I'm currently up to 8 so its nice to see physical progress

For charity today at work everyone had to wear red so for once I wasn't wearing my baggy uniform, it was overwhelming how many people complimented my increased size haha including "how did you get big arms like that eating rabbit food" I took that as a compliment.
