The Weight Training Thread

[Subby]

Anyway where were we? Ah yes....

Hitting double arm sessions for a month now with some cardio at the start. Going to finish Feb with 30 mins cardio 4 times a week then move back to lifting heavy for growth. Fat levels dropping still so changing the routines a bit now.

20 mins cardio
main workout
10 mins cardio

Should take me about 70-80 mins all in

Mon - Arms
Tue - Legs
Wed - rest
Thur - Chest/Sholders
Fri - Arms
Sat - rest
Sun - rest

See how that pans out for a few weeks. I had to sign up to pure gym for a couple of months as my work gym is closed for 2 months for rebuilding pain in the rear having to pay for the gym but I can take the £18 a month hit for a couple of months then just cancel my membership and go back to my own work gym

Trying new routines tonight and for the next few weeks

Different arm exercises that I've not done before. Behind the head bicep curls with an inclined bench, etc

Also trying new tricep extension routines with the rope and lat machine setup

Started my new "temp" gym last night. God I hate it already. You have to wait for equipment In my work I usually have the gym basically all to myself and I don't have to wait for anything which means I can do a good lifting session and not hang about, get home early. This new place is the reverse of that

Ah well it's only 2 months, I can deal with it.

I've been sick all week so not been able to go down, just as I was set in the habit too.

Missing it, might see if I'm up to it tomorrow and get in a light work out.

getting a flatter stomach

Any ideas other than sit-ups without going to the gym and using the equipment. Time limited at work. I search it and get a 1000 to 1 different ways. I just want the most effective way.

I hate the following:

I get into a great rhythm and am rally enjoying the gym. I get really motivate and my intention is sky's the limit etc.

Then I pick up a bug and I'm kept low for a week.

Then I just can't motivate myself to go back having to start all over again having lost strength.

So bloody annoying. I know it's just a motivational thing, but does anyone have any tips on how to combat this or is it just a personal issue that has to be overcome?
