19th May

Again I was absolutely shattered at the end of the working day, but luckily I didn't have to drive the hour+ back to Doha, so when I got back to the flat I was a bit more awake. Any thoughts I had of skipping a session were soon vanquished to the naughty step and I went for it.

DB squats - 20 kg / 11 reps - more like it.
Chest Press - 65 kg / 11 reps
Lat Pulls - 60 kg / 9 reps - tried the underhand front style as suggested - kills the forearms!
Shoulder Press - 30kg / 11 reps - happy with this, my shoulders are usually the weakest link
DB Curls - 10 kg / 11 reps - feel the burn, baby, burn!

I'm glad I went. That feeling of tiredness and euphoria is almost sexual. I was very happy that I was able to improve on everything (apart from Lats - but different style) again.

But then later my bladder started playing up. I drank a litre of water before, during and after the gym and started peeing for England, Scotland and Wales. I even had to get up at 4am to empty again. Maybe it's not a good idea to drink so much water late on, eh? Still, you have to keep hydrated during exercise. Maybe it's all the lard coming out. Wishful thinking.

Well, one more session on Wednesday, then the following night I fly back to the UK. I'm going to carry on with the plan while I'm home at a local gym that does PAYG (pay as you grunt).

TTFN.
