I had my fourth workout last night (Tuesday) and it went pretty well. I managed to push out my final two sets of dips at bodyweight for 10 reps which was a personal best plus I did a PB on bench press with 8 reps at 24kg’s per dumbbell.
For squats I was a little more careful about chucking weight on the bar after Wednesday’s incident and pushed out in the final set 9 x 55kg which was also a PB.
I left a slightly longer gap between squats and dead’s by putting DB Chest Press in-between which seemed to help out with the lower back pain I got on Wednesday. I still kept the weight fairly light though to be on the safe side.
Saturday’s work out from last week, which I haven’t written up was also pretty good. Hit a couple of PB’s and also did a couple of sets of EZ bar curls at the end.
I have noticed from the first few workouts that the order that I do the exercises in makes quite a bit of difference to my lifts but I think I have now got the best order sorted out and I'm pretty happy with my workout.
My first week of the diet plan was pretty much been spot on food wise. I managed to hit my protein target of 145g per day (except for Sunday) and have regulated Carbs and Fats well. I did however have a bit more alcohol than normal as I had a couple of things on at the weekend which won’t have helped! I also had a very late night out on Saturday which again wasn’t so good. Sunday I ended up eating some rubbish as I was out all day and couldn’t choose my own food!
Just as a note, whenever possible I’ll be trying not to drink however this is not going to be that easy with Christmas coming up! I'll have to accept that I'm going to be slowing down my progress by doing this.
I also went food shopping and stocked up in bulk to help save some money. Plus it's much easier to prepear in advance if I know what I've got.
This week I’m going to do my workouts on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday as the footy is on Wednesday, come on England!
