Getting back on track ....

I was trying on dresses today and I somehow managed to rip half the sleeve of my top right off!!! Like it's actually gone missing, I didn't notice til I was changing later that it was gone!

The incredible hulk has nothing on me...:pac:

On the plus side, I got a uber gorgeous guna:D

Its not really that heavy for you then?

My back would eat me if I put in 10 triples, I reckon.

Na it was surprisingly ok. I think 5x5 would be harder for me - does that make any logical sense?!

That did just make me laugh out loud...I hope you were joking because I doubt anyone at IP told you that.

...*no answer/truth needed*

I know that I don't need to tell you.

I love the way my log stays active even when I'm not...!

Well impressed G, makes my 3 lifts look so dull!

Only fitted in 3 days last week, and it'll be the same this week - have a few things getting in the way in the evenings. Plan was to do S1 today, but that was when I thought I'd get in more sessions, so I'll have to talk to Will about how to structure the week now to get the most out of it. I've a few 4 day weeks in the run up to Xmas though, so I'll be back up to 5 sessions then.

We'll do a 'strength conditioning' session.

15 min Dead & Bench block for triples

10 min body weight prowler block

You did well...fantastic work abusing that new dude on his prowler block...I'm glad that like with everyone else I managed to drag you to my level as fast as possible.

Surprisingly not really sore today. I was just thinking there, it's been a good while since I've had really bad DOMS, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing?!:pac:

Can only train this eve and Sat this week so not sure what the plan is for tonights session, haven't done S2 in a while so maybe that..

IP Warm Up
3 rounds of:
Side lunges x 10
Scap pull ups x 10
High kicks x 10
Horizontal band pull aparts x 10
Glute bridges x 10
Windmill push ups x 10
Knee Lift x 10


Hang Clean and Press
20kgx5
25kgx5x5
- getting a bit better at these. I don't think I'll ever like Olympic lifts though, I just don't have the patience for it.

Glute Ham Raises 4x8reps
- WAY harder than ever before, I focused on leaning forward alot more - now that I'm not terrified of falling!


Med Ball Side Throws3x10reps

Pull ups
Green Bandx5
Red Band 4x3reps
No band, from the step, 5x1rep
-I was all disappointed when I found out it doesn't count as a proper pull up if you start from the step instead of in a dead hang
I'm improving though, was using the grey band 4 weeks ago like, so I'll get there!:D


Push Ups
3x12reps

O/H plate ext
10kgx3x12reps
-this was grand, I was holding the plate wrong before.

Also discovered that Mooo's as competitive as I am about deadlifting - this could get interesting:D

Oh, and I'm doing the CF Total in Dec. If I got a 115kg DL I'd be very very happy. If I remember how to squat 70kg I'll be even more happy. And if I even get a stick over my head that'll do fine - provided I nail the other two:pac:

If Santa could give me strength for Xmas I'd want a 120kg DL; I think that's still a bit of a pipe dream.... but we'll see on the day:D

Considering trying the sub 100g carbs again for 2 weeks now before Christmas... The last time I did it I thought I didn't see any results at the time, but I did lose 4kg when I started eating normally again a week later - so in hindsight it was probably related. I know my diets pretty clean now though, so I don't know if it's worth the hassle when I might make progress the way I'm going at the mo anyway.

Hmmm, I've just been reading Henners log... if he gets a fancy schmancy programme for CFT I want one toooooooo!!!!!:P

1. The last point is the most important one.
2. I always get major whoosh factors when dieting...nothing happens for ages then big drops in scale weight.

You need to tell ME that you are competing first of all.
