So I've finally managed to join a gym. No more using people's guest passes or using trial weeks or months!
The new job starts monday and so does my new training.
Sooo...thought I might try this keeping a log thing. I make no promises as to how often I'll update this.
After my induction today (which was a big fat waste of time), I had a workout, and it was GOOD!
Have been working on my squat technique recently and today I just about cracked it, and then even managed to put 10kg on the bar. Yeah baby! Weight may seem tiny to all you guys but it really is a big deal, my first proper weight squats and i love 'em!
......................................weight(kg)/reps
Squat .......................................10/5
Free motion squat......................40/5
Dumbbell pullover......................7.5/3 10/10
Chest press...............................23/10
Assisted chin up........................46/4
Shoulder press (drop set)............23/3 16/2
Calf press................................120/12
Swiss ball weighted crunch...........9/12
**all at a 5/5 cadence**
Suffice to say I pretty much just fell out the gym and my legs still don't work. During the ab crunch i honestly thought i was gonna see my breafast on the floor in front of me. But dammit i worked hard.

Nic
nice workout, keep the squats up and ull have buns like two boiled eggs in a handkercheif in no time.
Indeed, many more workouts to come. I enjoy working out at the gym so much more than at home. I don't find myself thinking about needing to do the washing etc! How very female of me!
Goals:
-lose the stone i've put on recently (seriously bad few months).
-get some decent looking muscles.
-be able to do weighted chins and dips
-be able to squat 80kg.
-be able to leg press 150kg in the short term and eventually 200kg.
Obviously i'll be eating a diet to match and drinking my lovely chilled water.

What type of barbell were you using? A standard olympic barbell weighs 20kg, so if you then added 10kg you were squatting 30kg.
