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 Sixth Workout

Right, I’ll get the bad bit out of the way! My weekend was a weight loss write off! Booze, junk food, no gym, the lot!! Not impressed with myself! Anyway, back on track again now. Think over December I’m just going to have to be stick to the diet and gym as much as possible but not expect too much since I know I’ll be drinking and eating more cheat food than I should be. You can’t have everything can you?!

My new plan will be to completely cut out alcohol and rubbish food for January and then if I get rid of enough fat I’ll start a bulk. If not I’ll carry on with the diet until I’m happy with my fat loss.

Anyway, onto last nights work out. I thought it went alright, and I’m definitely aching a bit today. I don’t think my weekend of unhealthy ness helped in the gym to be fair! However, once again I managed to hit a couple of personal bests on my lifts. I hit the 60kg mark on my squat (8 reps). Added a rep to my chest press, and a couple of extra reps to my bodyweight dips.

I’m still struggling with deadlifts, I think it’s mainly my lower back and grip that’s letting me down so I’ve not seen any progress with these exercises yet. Row’s and chins seem to have stayed the same over the last couple of workouts too but I’ll keep trying to add to these lifts.
