Yeah bout 30 of those Asahis were me alone, twas a super night and naturally we solved all the worlds problems whilst pissed.<br />
<br />

Ha ha I had a suspicion you'd accounted for more of those beers than the english fulla!!<br />
<br />
Yeah DL's will be back on higher rotation in a few weeks. Away in Oz on holiday next week then straight back to conferences in Roto-vegas and Auckland. Much fun... sigh. -
Fun with KB's tonight - noticed a real difference in fitness/endurance. Could crank through full super sets without throwing up or passing out - I've come close in the past! Did some core work afterwards, barbell cleans and threw in 3 sets of dumbbell bench for good measure. Away for the next couple of weeks but I reckon I'll be able to track down a gym while I'm away.<br />
<br />
JK where do you work out? I'm in the big smoke 10-12th Oct at a conference at Sky City. Staying at Sky City hotel, I know they have a 'gym' but sweet fark all free weights etc. Might have to check out where Les Mills is located! Would be cool to catch up but you are an early bird lol! -
I workout at a place called Just Workout mate. Most of their gyms are on the North Shore BUT they have a city branch very close to Sky City.<br />
<br />
If you go to http://justworkout.co.nz/ you can txt to get a free weeks trial pass which could be a good option for you.<br />
<br />
I am away 11th/12th down to Wairakei playing 100holes of golf in 1 day (see signature - sponser if ya like <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good1:' />) so would have to be the 10th if can join ya for training. Wont be anything too serious though given my golf committment. -
That's pretty cool, what's your handicap? I got down to 5 or 6 when I was younger. Hope you raise a lot. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' />
-
Not currently a member anywhere but would like to think around about 9 or 10 but lower if played regularly.<br />
<br />
Got down to a 4 in my early 20s but pretty much gave up the game once I finished uni due to lack of spare time and when I did have spare time I went fishing -
sounds very familiar with my golfing past...in my late teens qualified for the NZ Amateur and played age group provincial stuff, but as oyu get older and have a real life (job) you dont have the time to get out as much and the game suffers, worse since I had kids too!<br />
<br />
Most of the Auckland hotels I have stayed at have poorly equipped gyms, Grand Chancellor and Spencer on Byron at least have a pool to use insterad of the weight machines, but I guess they are catering in the most part to businessmen who probably dont use them anyway <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -

Thanks JK - will def get that sorted. Up for a conference so I'll be keen to sneak a few workouts in where I can!! -
Home from Melbs - great trip. A shed load of kai and booze, did manage a couple of trips to the hotel gym and a run as well. Head off for work later today so more hotel living which I could do without. Will check out that gym that JK posted above. Missing my free weights!

Joined the hundred club today! 100 squats at 100kg. 10 sets of 10 with 60-90sec between them. First proper session in two weeks so I decided to smash myself. Got to set 7 with no problems, sets 9 and 10 were ok but I was starting to get a bit wobbly. Reckon I could give 13-14 sets of 10 a nudge (if I was feeling stupid!).<br />
<br />
Dumbbell bench next, 30kg82, 35kg82, 27.5kg102 got a mad burn going. Really enjoy the change to dumbbells at the moment, pretty much no pressure through the shoulders. Will give it another 2-3 workouts then back to barbell bench again.<br />
<br />
BBBT round the worlds with 20kg plate. 10 each side for 2 sets<br />
<br />
Horizontal woodchops two sets of 8 each side<br />
<br />
Barbell drop sets at 20, 15, 12.5kg. Managed 20/12/12 for two sets. I think I just about cried on the last set at 12.5kg! intense burn!<br />
<br />
Walked back to the car (10min walk) very gingerly! have loosened up a bit now but I expect to be in pain tomorrow and the next day. -
Ugh, second day pain! can barely walk today, and I thought yesterday was bad! Did get back to the gym last night though. Did triceps and some back/shoulder work. close grip bench, pull downs, cable extensions. Seated row, shrugs, rotator cuff work. Finished up with some woodchops for core.<br />
<br />
Sat and Mon are my next two sessions. Hopefully my legs will have recovered by then! -

A core exercise I picked up off a Brad Thorn training vid. At 2.30min he does them. They are mean!! 2 sets of those (10 in each direction per set) and you'll be blowing! -
Ah ok, I saw Jacko Gill doing a similar one with a Med ball, I like how he does a core exercise in between each set...it'd be tough!
-
Good hit out tonight. Weighted step ups and hammie curls on the swiss ball. Squats - 10010, 1606, 1606, 1606, 10020. Working on getting a bit deeper in the squat. I hit parallel but I want to get more confident at heavier weights on deeper squats without the box. <br />
Down for dumbbell bench 3010, 358, 408, 408, 358.<br />
<br />
I've been watching a heap of vids about bench technique. Went and applied a bit of what I'd learnt today on barbell bench. Only got up to 80kg but it felt pretty good. Taking a wider grip and working on my set up - flexed through the upper back and tension through core and legs. <br />
<br />
BBT round the words then down for bicep drop sets. 20/15/12.5 20 each first time through then reps of 15/12/12 - arms were on fire! Seated row 856, 856, 856 then 55*15. Finished up with some cable woodchops and rotator cuff work.<br />
<br />
Nice to catch a bit of sun on the way home too! bring on summer baby!! -
Back to the depths of Kettlebell hell today. Of everything in my workouts I lose my edge quickest on the KB's - probably more the fitness aspect than the strength side of things. Aimed to knock off each set of exercises without stopping. Made it through until the supersets at the end! Lower back got a bit sore so I skipped a set of front squats but my high pulls (cleans I guess?) were mean as. Not sure why but I just about threw the first rep over my head! added some more weight and got stuck in. Finished up with Arnie shoulder press and some front and side shoulder raises. All good!
-
It hurts. Heaps! <br />
<br />
I fully recommend it!!
