2 WEEK ROUND UP FOR LEANER:

I have made a bit of progress on lifting stats, I need to work on not splitting sets, it is a case of gaining the confidence to keep pushing/pulling.

Went off the rails with fine weather walking but have stopped that now :-)

Diet went bandy when the joints were playing up, but stuck to 1200-1300 every day this week.

Very impessive PJ!

How come you struggle to do your workouts during the week? Energy or time?

    ^top

Both :-( I don't drive so even on a non "fancy a walk" day I troll over 4 miles at a good pace, public transport lets me down too, roadworks meant I didn't get in until 7.45 on weds.

*whispers* the DL's don't incldue the bar ;-)

So you must be deadlifting more than I am, because I put 55kg on an EZ bar which will be lighter than the barbell you are presumably using.

*cries*

Sweetheart- you can pull-up, bench and squat more then me *envious*


If I get to be 60% of a Phoenix -worth I'll be over then moon!

Did V ups instead of bicycle crunches just for a change.

All OK - I can feel I am working in a comfort zone - it is up to me now to stay put or push for more.

I'd like to be able to do more than one positive chin up so I am having a bash at Tony the pull up bar most mornings for one rep and whatever of a part rep.
