Cardio Today:

Run: 3.1 miles in 34mins 58secs (11:17/mile)

Nice and steady, no slowing, no stopping. Very happy.

Will be at the point soon where I'm doing consistent 10min miles.

[HJP]

Glad to hear the hip thrusters are paying dividends!! Good work bro!

[Coke]

Lifting and running is fine guy.

----------
Summary:

Reasonable session. Had to use the 'soft' bench to start (bench with really soft padding that is difficult to stay tight on), but managed to swap over to my usual, lower, firmer bench for the close-grips.

Glad I got some close-grips in, could really feel them working the tris.

Higher reps for the cable stuff helps get the pump on.


Today's Cardio:

1 mile timed run.

8mins 51secs.

Goal was 9mins, so very happy with that time.

Summary:

Kept it light today; feeling a bit beat up, this week.

Wrist hurting again. Might try using wraps, see if that'll help.

[Coke]

Not skipping a beat Gaz.

[GazzyG]

Great job Gaz!!!

Not skipping a beat Gaz.

Thanks guys!

Was supposed to go out for a nice, steady 15 mile bike ride today - 2 miles in and the seat came lose, making it impossible to ride safely; everytime I went over a bump, the seat would slide forwards or back.

Second time it's done that to me on a ride - gonna take it back to the shop and get them to sort it out. Think cables etc need adjusting on it now anyway.

[tom183]

Nice work. How are you liking those GMs in place of deads for the time being?

[GazzyG]

Cheers Tom. The GMs are okay, just wary of using too much weight, atm, what with the lower back problems I've had in the past. Certainly feeling them work the hams/erectors though!

----------
Summary:

Nice, quick, easy session today. Don't often get the chance to go in on a Sunday.

Using cable pulldowns after CGBP seems to be the way to hit the tris - arms feeling so tired now!

Bit annoyed at missing the last rep on the 60kg press, but hey-ho.

[Coke]

Damn good workout bro.

[GazzyG]

----------
Summary:

Tiring.

Top set of 145kg felt a lot heavier than it should have done, bearing in mind that I'd squatted 160kg a coupla months back. Think the running is taking the strength from my legs.

Then again, I'm squatting a hell of a lot lower these days.

Either way, punished myself with a 20 rep set@100kg. Been ages since I'd done a 20 repper. Nearly killed me off.

[tom183]

Nice 20 rep squat there.

[NickAus]

Real solid work Gaz!! Keep at it!

Thanks both! Was one of the harder sessions I've had lately.


Today's Cardio:

4 mile run with 45secs of jumping jacks between each mile.

Total time: 50mins 37secs.

Absolutely zero worries when it comes to breathing, lungs are shaping up great, which is surprising considering I smoke a pipe.

Legs had absolutely nothing in them, though. Probably that 20 repper last night.

Even so, happy just to have managed this run tonight.

[amounirl]

Nice squats man, and that's some good cardio. A little smoking in moderation won't kill your cardio, it's chain smoking that does it. Pipes are cleaner than cigarettes anyways so it's even less of an impact.

Cheers bud! Enjoying the mix of cardio and weights atm, even if the cardio is making the strength training a bit harder.

Summary:

In, out, 25mins then picked up a coupla pizzas.

Feeling under the weather - didn't want to risk any heavier reps on top of the prescribed.

[Coke]

Fine with the training, good deal with the pizzas too, lol.

[tom183]

Nice upper session there.
