Pushing Tin - Paekakboyz Training Log
-
Meh, bit of a half ass workout this morning. Bit jaded from a late night (go black caps!!). Had a bit of twinge in one hammie so didn't do DL's today. Pretty much lost momentum and did a few odds and sods. Hopefully it comes right in time for a monday workout.

I'm sure Bart will have some ideas! I guess it's because you are getting down to the minimum level of stored fat your body wants to keep. It'll hang on to it right up to the bitter end! My weight will go up/down around 1kg day to day so I tend to wait until my weight has shifted 2-4 kg before I consider I've officially lost anything!<br />
<br />
Hmm what about bodyshape as the deciding factor Mokey? if you've been doing weights etc you will add muscle so your overall weight might be a bit higher than you'd targetted but you'll be in better shape! -
yeah, Mrs B is now probably as heavy, or if not heavier than she was in some of her 'fat photos', muscle weighs heavier than fat.<br />
<br />
Use the clothes loser method, belt in a notch, not so much ,muffin. method to see if you're losing fat, instead of weight... -
Oh yeah, clothes are hanging off me a bit now, pants hanging round my hips which looks stupid but not getting anything new until I hit 65kg. That is my target weight and by god I'm going to get there. What sucks big time is the uneven reduction in size, excess weight has melted off my back and shoulders and arms so muscle definition is reasonably pronounced while legs and butt have firmed rather than reduced. How bloody annoying.
-
lol!! don't you know the toned booty is the 'in' look Mokey!! firmed is definitely a positive term in reference to those areas. If you're only 2kg or so off that target weight you should be stoked rather than frustrated.
-
Decent workout tonight. After a pretty crappy workout the other night it was good to get stuck in. No twinges in the hammy which was good.

Nah I want an athletic behind, not a Kim Kardashian one ha ha. Frustrated is the word, patience is not a virtue of mine.<br />
<br />
Hate twinges, my shoulder is twinging at the moment, I upped my weights for the lunges but dont think I was doing the exercise quite right today cos the arch of one of my feet is twinging too. Makes me feel about 100 years old. -
I concur Dr Bartman! the more posters in the oversize forum the better : )

lol there isn't a thread marshal onboard to taser ya Mokey! Good work on cranking out a thread of your own - it's a good way to keep track of your progress, get advice and gripe about injuries and those pesky last couple of kg's!

Excellent workout tonight. Had the new exercises added in and that was good fun. One of those days were everything feels strong, form is good and you just smash it. Have been able to get into a better routine over the last couple of weeks after the summer madness of bbq's and weddings had calmed down. Will be seeing PT again in a couple of weeks to tweak my other workout. That'll mean two day's worth to rotate through which should avoid feeling stale etc.

Paekakboyz 3 - trees 0! finished clearing the last trees for our new retaining wall (and eventually a deck). Ugh I hate digging out tree stumps, just no easy way to do it! A bloody good workout though.
-
Bit of break over the last week. Had 2-3 where I was unwell and the weekend was spent working on a retaining wall and the foundations of a deck. Actually think the short break will be good. Keen as to hit the gym tonight - haven't decided if I want to do DL's or squats... will make a call once I get to the gym. Definitely noticed the added strength during the recent labouring etc Given my knee still has the odd twinge I'm way more confident with lifting and stuff.
-
Good workout - went for gold as I've had a week or so off. Felt it most on bench press. Funnily enough DL's felt pretty good. Will be back in on Wednesday and probably saturday.
-
Sore, sore, sore. Went hard tonight. Been well over a week since I'd done this programme so it was tough. 3rd sets were pretty tough but it was all good. Kept up a good pace so was blowing a bit by the end.
-
Bah, had been keen as to get things moving again but a weekend in the garden screwed the plan up. Was digging out tree stumps (the bane of my existence!) and copped some nasty blisters - several beauties actually. Nice and painful! particularly when exposed to water, soap, facewash, shampoo or scratching my beard!! agh!<br />
<br />
Either way I wasn't keen to hit the gym last night with my tender paws. They are healing ok so I'm hoping to make the gym thursday. A real bugger as I had just started back after a weeks break. Super keen to get some decent momentum going as we head into winter. -
decent workout - hands were a bit sore bit it only really bugged me on bench. DL's felt pretty good - I think my grip strength is improving which makes that final set easier, no slipping etc. Hoping to sneak in a sat morning workout to keep momentum up. Have a 30th friday night and a mates welcome home bowling comp on sat arvo - could be tough to fit it in!
-
Had friends from overseas visit during Easter so no gym work. Did manage to build a decent sized garden box outside and got to shovel plenty of dirt around - good core, back and arm workout! should be back at the gym on wed for day 2 of my programme. It's been nearly a week again since I last did squats so I won't be pushing the weight up this workout. Def want to see some improvement in weight lifted for DL's and squats in the next 2 weeks or so.
