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.
I welcome all Questions, this isnt about being right or wrong so i also welcome any debate or disagreements!

Day 17 (interval day)
Today after work i planned to do a fair bit of training it was pretty much 2 sessions in one. It was a bit ambitious and i felt shit after work today! I dont think its over training but it really felt like that. However sitting here now i think it was more lack of sleep, hydration and miss timing lunch and having a heavy lunch at that!
Any way all things considered it wasnt bad!
- Skipping 10 mins
- Row 10 mins
- Row intervals 10 mins (30 sec on/ 30 sec off)
- Versa Climber 3x 3min rounds (only 30 seconds rest in between today)
- Treadmill Sprints 3x 1 min rounds (failed wanted to do 6x 1 min rounds but legs just wernt there today!)
- Push Ups 20 x 4
- Chin Ups 10 x 3
Core/ Ab work
- V-ups 10 x 4
- Leg Raises 15 x 4
- Back Extensions 10kg 10 x 4
- Side Bends 20kg 10 x 4 (each side)
- Bicycle Crunch 15 x 4
- Plank Hold 1 minute
And that was it, it wasn’t so much it was a bad training session just sometimes your just working and slugging through it and sometimes you blast through it. Its hard to explain but that feeling makes all the difference!!
Anyway another full day of rest tomorrow before the final week! Going to really think about my food and water intake and see if that makes a difference!
Day 10 (conditioning, boxing)
Well you know its serious when your doing it twice a day ;-)
Conditioning

All in all a great day training wise! Shame about all the shit food iv just ate! But in the calories in vs calories out department i think ill be ok ;-D. Next week going to eat better again.
Thursdays Conditioning
