Background

When I Started: no information entered
HOW I STARTED:

I've always had an interest in working out and keeping fit from a young age and sometimes wish that i had gotten into bodybuilding/weight lifting alittle earlier than i did. But I aim to make up for lost time and hit every session as hard as i can and leave nothing on the table

WHY I LOVE IT:

Whats not to love? Looking and feeling better, pushing my body to the limits and then trying to go beyond.

My Workout Program

Full body workout. Back to Basics

Smith Machine Squats
1 warm up set with bar
3-4 working sets 12-20 reps

Legs are hated by most so seems ideal to get them out of the way first thing but I stress just because its the first still need to go all out

Incline Bench Press
1 warm up set with bar
3 sets 8-12 reps

Awesome for bringing out the upper pecs and a great place to start,you can focus on the lower chest later.

Lat Pulldown
1 warm up set
3 sets 8-12 reps

Really enjoying the lat pulldown at the moment to add abit of width to the back

Dumbbell Shoulder press
3 sets 8-12 reps

All good full body workouts should have an overhead press in there.

Now I do bicep curls on a monday, dumbbell pullovers on a wednesday and tricep work on a friday just to add alittle extra to the arms. But normally my arms are pretty hammered from all of the above so i wouldn't worry too much about them.

Its all about timing

Posted in Working Out  :  Mar 14, 2011 4:59am

Well its the begining of the week and that means its an early monday morning workout as I have to do the evening shift at work. I'm not a massive fan of working out first thing in the morning but when you start work mid-day then its the only option.


Brief summary of the workout was that it was pretty good managed to up the weight alittle on my squats so I'm pretty pleased with that and felt like I pushed pretty hard on all of my other sets as well. Felt alittle sick afterwards so I know that i was pushing hard,doesn't feel good at the time but now i feel pretty good knowing I

Friday Training session

Posted in Working Out  :  Mar 12, 2011 1:38am
Ok so yesterday was my well earned day off from work. Although it was anything but a day off! When you own your own home it can become alittle hard to fit training around everything you have to do around the house and getting about town. But so far I seem to be handling it pretty well. Friday as always is the last session of the week because I like to to the weekend to rest plus like today i have to work one weekend every three weeks. To sum the workout up it was pretty good really although I still feel like I can push alittle harder but sometimes the form starts to slip alittle so i try and h...
