Workout Blog

Welcome to my workout blog! I have created this blog to help me monitor and motivate myself to achieving a decent diet, fat loss and muscle gains. I shall be posting on here fairly regularly with updates on my progress. I tend to do quite a bit of reading on work out related stuff. So if I come across any interesting articles or info I'll link them in the Articles section at the bottom of my blog so others can check them out too.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave comments or ask any questions. There's a bit more info about me in the section on the left.

My First Post!

Next week will see me start with my new programme which I am hoping I can stick to and achieve the results that I would like to see! I intend to workout at my local gym which is David Lloyd, and I have been a member there for a while now. The one that I go to is actually pretty decent so I shall be continuing there.



As I mentioned in my in profile I shall be using a full body workout, three days per week for the time being. I shall stick with this until I feel the need to update my workout to improve gains. I am going to be using compound lifts initially as I have had some results from doing this in the past (although I haven't stuck to these previous attempts!) I currently weigh around 65kg's/10.5 stone (depending on the scales!) and I'm 5'6''.



This is my new full body workout:

Squats
Dumbell Bench Press
Deadlifts
Seated Rows
Dips
Close Grip Chin Ups
Weighted Ab Crunches

I will be performing three sets per exercise with a rest of approximately sixty seconds in-between each set. My warm up will be five minutes of jogging and then before each exercise, ten reps with a light to medium weight. I am aiming to go heavier with each lift so will normally aim for the first set to be twelve reps, second set to be ten reps, third set to be eight reps. This is not fixed so I will play around with this trying to increase weight and add extra reps each session.



Right, that's enough for now, I'm off to buy some food for next week!
