good job fella

I hit my PB on calf raises yesterday too, 100kg

Ta mate.

Nice one.


Saw my osteo last night & he was very pleased with my progress-especially given the hammering I've been giveing my body of late. Structurally I am fine, but a lot of my muscles were "very unhappy" as he puts it so he spent ages massaging them out & told me not to train while tomorrow.

PTP - Just wanted to say thank you for the posts you put on a few days ago encouraging me to go running as soon as I get in from work.

I'm not feeling too good at the moment and have a bit of a cold too so not feeling up for doing anything right now however, as soon I'm feeling better I'm going to do exactly what you advised and that is to head off out as soon as I'm home, before I've had anything to eat or any time to settle so I will take the advice on board.

Thanks.

Slinks? Five days out with a cold?

Slinks? Five days out with a cold?

I've been ill mate there's not much I can do if I'm not feeling well.

Today's the first day I've actually felt better. Been cycling in all week apart from Tuesday which was my day off.

Did what PTP advised today and went straight out as soon as I got home. Was kitted out anyway as I had my bike gear so went off for a 20 minute run, felt very heavy legged and hungry but did it. Actually felt ok towards the tail end of the run so going to try and get into the habit of doing that from now on.

Managed 2 miles today which didn't hurt half as much as the other day and getting back into the habit of stretching which helps when you get my age!

I've officially started doing some weights!

I've been doing some bodyweight core exercises for a few weeks to get myself in shape and now I've started doing some upright rows (barbell), shoulder presses (dubmbells) and squats. I will need a bench soon I reckon otherwise I will injure myself trying to get the bar on my back plus I can't do any chest exercises. Pressups are doing the trick right now.

Out tonight after work again. So I should smash up to 2nd place unless Pobs ruins my fun and runs at work.

Blisters were small enough to leave alone in the end, they just seemed bigger when I got back as my feet were still hot.

Got some trainer socks to hopefully stop them coming again. Think the ones I wore before were a bit too lose.

I running a 10km at lunch Alex. If you run 11km you can still overtake.

Good start mate. Shoulder presses are more functional than bench anyways. You wanna grab yourself a pull-up bar too. You can get cheap ones that sit between door frames. Not sure their weight limit but I used to have one 17 years and 4 stone ago & they do the trick ok.

Looks like a good, rounded routine mate.

Have you been out while down in Southampton?

nope i feel like a horrible mess because of it

i had loads of stuff to take with me, so couldn't fit my running gear in. Plus whilst away i ate crap(except for the carribbean ) and drank a few pints

went to footy last night and all that on top of a 5 hour drive meant i literally wobbled around for an hour

so really need/want a healthy eating weekend with a good bit of exercise

more importantly slinks - how did you feel later on in the evening - say 8pm once you've recovered, showered and sitting down - did you feel better mentally as well as a bit fresher?

How come no deads?

I have asked myself that a few times lol, no reason really! I'm now off to do back day so I'm gonna throw it in today.

Haha, just you seemed to have everything else covered in a lot of detail. Not sure my range of exercises is as broad as that.

I have back & deads today too. And maybe shoulders which I had to miss yesterday as the osteo told me to rest. Either that or squeeze them in tomorrow, am not drinking too much tonight.
