Did nothing but eat yesterday afternoon :-(

I was too tired to concentrate in the morning. Anthony has given me a more reasonable caloire cycle so will start on that Sunday.

Didnt even have the energy for pushups yesterday.

I have a bit of doms in my inner upper arms from weds:-)

Next session due Sunday - really looking ofrward to the deadlifting. I love the workouts and keeping a proper log is helping me progress.

Just make sure you give the workouts you're all! No slacking or I'll be round there to make sure you do (and see sox! :-))

I think once you find a routine you enjoy, you stick to it more which results in consistent & progressive workouts :)

I love logging on here, really helps me too. My diet's on Excel, my weight records are in a diary & my workouts are in a little book. On here, they're all together plus you get the motivation from others

Hopefully now your calorie allowance will help with keep the diet on the rails

Keep it up PJ :)

Thanks Mister JBB. Ant did take time to specifically build the routines around the exercises and rep patterns I like- which is why it works well - IF I puut enough effort in.

I tried the DC routines and gained strength but 3 set and 3 workouts was too much volume.

I always kept a note of the weights I used ,but not half reps, needing to take a break etc.

Keeping more detailed notes really helps and other people reading it point out where I am slacking.

I obugh 2 more 5kg plates yesterday which has tidied up my barbell no end and freed some more plates for the bumbells.

Neg chins I' m nearly there - as last week -on the initial goal of 10 5 secs negs.

I can also do about 1 1/2 close grip postives which I have been able to do in the past- it is the frist thing to go if I take a break from training.

I need to work towards 10 second negs- that willbe a toughie.

Deadlifts going far better since I started streching as Anthony showed me beforehand. I feel I should stick at 50kg for now and work on getting the 4/4 reps out as a set of 12 and 10 rather than having to "split" them.

Shoulder presses felt lovely.

Got eh weight wrong on the bent over rows- it was less than last week , but I did get the full number of reps out in both sets - so must u it next week.

Bnech dips are easy :-) I'll add weight to them by sticking my trusty sandabag over my lap next time.

In in all- got distracted by Broadcasting house and start of the Archers - I should put kick arse music on instead!


I enjoy the cardio efffect of slow multiple reps as much as anything which is why I asked for 12 and 10 reps sets rather than the classic Anthony 6-8 to failure type.

Not sure weither to stick at my current weights ( with increase on the bent over rows and weight added to dips ) and keep at it until I can do the correct number of reps per set with correct timing?


Help appreciated with this please :-)

Oh and have sorted out more food for next week - increased serving sizes all round so it is more of the same to keep the split about 60:20:20
