    Hack Squat
    Warmups:
    2x5 @ 25kg
    1x5 @ 15kg
    1x3 @ 25kg
    1x2 @ 35kg
    Working Set:
    3x5 @ 45kg
    (I've no squat rack so hack squats will have to do for now)
    Bench Press
    Warmups:
    2x5 @ 20kg
    1x5 @ 20kg
    1x3 @ 25kg
    1x2 @ 35kg
    Working Set:
    3x5 @ 40kg
    Chin Ups:
    Could only do half of one (damn my fat ass!) so did as many negatives as I could which was 7, then my forearms gave out.

    It was pretty intense as I haven't done anything physical like this in a fair bit! Generally work involves lifting and placing stuff so stuff like the bench is a foreign concept to my body!

    Next work out will be Monday, as I want to stick to the Mon-Wed-Fri schedule.

    Anyone who has any questions/suggestions please don't be afraid to ask! I'm new at this structured exercise lark!

    Really glad I did this today. It's nice to stick at it. Thurs will be the other workout but with weight upped. Hopefully I'll be able to bench my current bodyweight by the end of the year.

    Also; oats and cold milk is delicious! :D

    Just noting that I got my bike back and I cycled about 3 miles yesterday and the day previous.

    Tomorrow, back on the bar again. Damn weather gave me a cold at Oxegen hopefully it'll clear over the next few days. Actually, if anyone is reading this; my best advice for Oxegen is to go there in a camper van. The weather was diabolical and it really threw me off my plan. Regardless, will get back on this one way or the other!

    Oh shi- er, back to this so.

    Kettlebell 16kg
    Swings/Front Squats alternating:
    [10x/10x
    30sec break]x5

    Floor dumbell press:
    12.5kg dumbells each
    3x10

    Deadlift
    3x5 @ 65kg


    I deserved that. Back on track again, I suppose, until I get a gym membership, I'll be knocking around on the ol' home weights.

    (Sorry if this has interrupted the front page :P)
