Trained tonight :-)

Nice to be back in action but I couldn't get the timing right had to split sets etc.

The way forward is def. to maintain and perfect do the weights I am currently doing with good cadence, form and proper sets.

Well done getting back in the saddle PJ! ;-)

Sorting your form etc etc is the way to go!!

Keep up the good work!

Well done on this challenge Pearly.....but, it's the Auntie in me speaking.....hope you haven't gone back too soon. You be careful, OK......speaking as an injured warrior, of course.

Just done:

Dumbbell Curl 6 kg (0.5kg) 2 x 6 reps
Rest 2mins
Dumbbell Curl 6kg 2 x 5 reps
Rest 1 min
Plank 1 min 3 secs.

The assisted pulls up I had to break down into a 8+2 but I only had my toes resting up the fitball and rolled it along using them to get me up to the bar.

Pleased with the 10kg bench press - I have tried it before and could not make it move at all so that is a bit of progress :-)

I hate the curls as much as ever - tried doing them kneeling this week which felt slightly less stupid for some reason.

Got some great callusssussssses :-)

Soooo good to be training again - I tried picking up the weights for the squats last weekend and could not bend my wrists enough to get them anywhere near my shoulders!!!

Be nice to see if I can do the same routine next week without the split sets.


Thanks for reading Folks-it helps!

Good stuff PJ, great to see you back training.

Brief update:

Utterly useless training session on Thurs- entiredly due to the fact that the 4 day summer we experienced lured me into a lot more walking than usual :-(

Will train tomorrow and plan to get back on plan next week.

Less excuses from you Peej and more workload! Work it harder, tougher and meaner!

I know,I know :-((

One of my stated goals was to stay on plan - Mon to Friday I walked 2 x 5 miles timed @ 4 miles an hr.

Its nice to be fit enough to do it - but there was no way I could do decent workout
after that.

Weather has changed so that should help to keep me indoors.

People look up to you Peej... don't let them, or yourself, down.

Dismissed! ;-)
