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.

Updated Stats & Workout Write Up.

Just a quick update for this week so far and the end of last week. After my session on the 10th I became ill so I didn’t go to the gym for a week and didn’t eat properly which was rubbish! After this lay off I was interested to see if this would affect my workout - It only made a slight difference in that I couldn’t do so many reps on chest press. It did give me a serious case of DOM’s for the next couple of days though!

I did another workout last night and managed an increase my deadlift weight and improved reps on my chest press, dips and chins which I was pleased with. Just as a note the previous weights I have been quoting have not included the weight of the bar. So my current lifting stats from last nights best sets are as follows:

Squats: 85kg x 10 Reps
Dumbell Chest Press: 26kg (per arm) x 12 Reps
Deadlifts: 60kg x 10 Reps
Rows: 13* x 12 Reps - *Weight of machine stack, not in kg’s
Dips: 16 x Bodyweight
Chins: 8 x Bodyweight

I’m quite pleased with these stats as I’m not on a bulk so I’m not eating to build muscle really. I am looking forward to bulking though to see if my weights improve faster. I’ve also set myself a mini target of being able to lift 100kg’s on squat for the middle of January. I’ll be chuffed if I can reach that! That's it for now, another write up next week.
