Welcome to my training page. Im doing this mainly to keep a record of what iv done through the year and hopefully years to come. So i know where im up to and what works and what doesnt! Also going to post any relevant info i come across. Im a novice and Im far from an expert but i hope one day to become qualified and be an expert in the mean time hope it helps people.

Compound Lifts.
Really nackered tonight. Lots of long hours at work but i did manage to get my compound lifts in yesterday so just a quick update
- Bench Press 62.5 kg 5x5
- Squat 65kg 5x5
- Dead Lift 80kg 5x5
- Chin Ups Weighted 12.5kg 5X5
Im really sticking to these 3 lifts and the chin ups once a week and increasing just 2-2.5kg a week. Keeping reps and sets the same. I felt i could have lifted more but i am being strict with myself and building up slowly!
I also did a load of high rep ab work , skipping and shadow boxing. Not been able to train this evening due to work but boxing tomorrow hopefully so will pick up my normal training tuesday!
Adios
Iv started my new regime and after a crappy day managed to do 2 training sessions back to back weights and then boxing!!!…. that feels better! Hopefully now im over this bit of man flu ill be back on it and improve. Will post up my routines and some notes later on and as i do them over the next few weeks for those interested.
Yesterday , Conditioning
Yesterday i wanted to just do some conditioning to end my workout week. I planned to take it easy but i got dragged into a circuit at the end of my already knackered workout. Feel good for it though this morning and after a rest today will be really up for bootcamp tomorrow!!
Anyway yesterday..
- 10 mins rowing (2300 something meters)
- 20 Mins bike
- 40 chin ups
- Core work - the flag 5, v ups 10, twists 15, chinnies 15 as circuit X 2
- Push Ups Decline 15 x 2
at this point i was thinking of doing some more core work and push ups. i managed to get roped into a circuit training class for work as it was an open day so i couldnt really refuse! It was pretty good! I enjoyed it and might do the same circuit myself sometimes
- 1 min Vipr Thread the needle
- 1 min lateral vipr runs
- 1 Min vipr curl and press on aerobic step up
- 1 min ladder drills
- 1 min lateral squat jumps with vipr on back
- 1 min rest
we just did it twice but after my workout i was goosed! Was told i need to work on bending my knees more by the trainers so going to work on this. However i do have my reasons why i wasn’t and it probably looked like i was trying to get out of it. But no excuses i will work on it but i do know my legs are strong and i can do it no problems when fresh. But all good experience!
