    Tues Evening 5.5km run

    31mins - Freezing cold. [Session which I called Mon - Chest was actually a Tues...]

    Wed Morn - Legs gone wrong so Arms & Triceps?

    Squats: 1 x 5 x 65kg - Then hamstring ached, hard.

    Preacher Curl: 2 x 4 x 30kg & 1 x 3 x 30kg EZ bar
    OH DB Press: 3 x 6 x 17.5kg

    Cable Pushdown (w/ back Sup): 3 x 5 x 35kg
    Cable Pushdown (w/ Rope): 3 x 6 x 25kg

    Pull Ups: 2 x 4
    Chins:2 x 2

    First set of squats went fine, then I jumped around to keep warm, snap. Something went in my thigh which I wasn't impressed with. Tried body weight squats and it hurt so had to then change my plans for the morning.

    Pull ups and chins were pretty sh*t - second day and I'm slightly injured already, great!
