Feelin good

It’s great that my body clock lets me wake up early, regardless of my traps feelin da payne today. Lower body workout and abs go!

WOOORKOUUUT!

10x50kg Seated Leg Press - At this point, someone told me to alter the angle a bit lower on the seat. I’m glad they did.
5x130kg Fuck me, the initial push was hard as hell. Just a tiny alteration made my glutes fully included.
5x130kg
5x130kg
4x110kg - Legs were burning by this point

10x15kg Seated Calf Raises
10x17.5kg
10x20kg
10x22.5kg

At this point, I’m supposed to go and deadlift my body weight and feel mighty. My back was feeling funky and without a belt I wasn’t confident I’d do anything other than injure myself.

ABS

12x18kg Dumbbell Bench Press on an Exercise Ball - Just wanted a bit of a warm up really. Never done them before, felt good on my triceps though.

Jazzing it up

Today I found out I got a new job, brimming with excitement. However, last week I was a lazy shit and got next to nothing done. SO! Went to the gym and it was packed for what time it was. Well annoying. The Smith machine was free though, and it’d been a while since I’ve done any shoulder presses. Plus with my right shoulder feeling weak as hell, it wouldn’t hurt to strengthen the poor fella.

Food

Calories; 2540

Feel really good today, still worried about my right shoulder though. Think it’ll need looking at despite the gains today. Did a weigh in as well, 66.6kg/146.8lbs. Slowly getting heavier.

No idea if I’ll be able to reach this what with starting a new job and being busy with other things. It’s so easy to lose weight for me it’s ridiculous.

2nd Session

This happened yesterday, but got a bit too busy to post it hah. It was lower-half of the ole body time. I love doing deadlifts and wish to god my gym had a squat rack. I just straight up refuse to do squats on a Smith machine. Anyway;

Introduction

Hello, I’m Anthony, or Feeth on Tumblragh.

So, this will be the start of me PROPERLY working out. I’ve had an on-off relationship with the gym, running and rock climbing the past 2 years and I’ve decided it’s time to focus, record results and progress and get sexy as shit.

My work outs are based around the 5x5 strength training doing most compound moves. Doing 80% of my one rep max. For isolations I go 3x7 and super set it with the opposing muscle group. I also like to throw in some drop sets for the last to really push and get a good burn if I’m hitting a plateux. Abs training is varied, doing odd days.

Currently I haven’t been training for three weeks. Fuck that, getting back on it.

So, today is Tuesday, 10th April. I’m off to the gym.
