Done it!! Managed to get past the 24kg dumbbell bench press that I’ve been stuck on for the last few sessions!
On Saturday I was short of time (and unfortunately hung over) so I had to make do with doing 2 sets for each exercise. It was still a hard work out though as I dropped the rest time a bit in-between each set.
I upped my squat to 65kg (managed 10 reps) and improved my bench to 26kg for 8 reps which I was pretty chuffed with! Everything else stayed the same for that session. As long as I can improve on something each gym session I’ll be happy, be it reps or weight. I figure I must be doing something right if I can keep improving!
Last weeks effort with the diet was not as good as it should have been so I need to get back on track this week. Preparation is definitely the key because without it I find it can be easy to eat more unhealthy things. Plus I hate to think I’m wasting my time at the gym! The other way I’m trying to stay motivated with the diet is that the leaner I can stay over Christmas the better. It means I will have less fat to loose in January and the quicker I can start a bulk which is what I’m really looking forward to.
That’s it for now. Think I’ll start to do write up’s weekly now rather than every workout as otherwise they will all be pretty much the same posts and get boring! So I’ll probably just post on a Monday now reviewing each week’s workout and diet.
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.
