Snuck in for some cardio this morning. 
 
Nothing too serious - just 30mins crosstrainer at a good clip. 
 
Will do a spin class and then abs tomorrow.

Hah went to Kinglseys last time over actually mate. Another fine establishment that's for sure!

JK

Popped in this morning for some abs and arms work. 
 
Did it for the ladies.

JK

Well here we go. First day of the 5/31 programme today and today it was squats. 
 
Warmup was 5mins on the bike and then stretching and some foam roller work on the quads and glutes. 
 
Squats - 5 x 85kg, 5 x 90kg, 9 x 95kg (working sets only) 
Accessory work 
Front squats - 5 sets of 10 @ 50kg 
Seated calf raises - 3 sets of 18 @ 260 (am assuming pounds on that machine - usually do 180kg standing so cant fathom 260kg seated!) 
Back extensions - 3 set of 10. 
 
Also did the abs circuit which was 1min each of medicine ball crunches, side plank left, praying mantis on swiss ball, side plank right - twice through with 30seconds rest in the middle. 
 
Did a quick weigh in too at 78.2kg

Wow same day doms........havent had this for ages! 
 
Quads have some mean burn on them right now. Putting it down to them front squats. 
 
Getting out of bed tomorrow should be interesting.

JK

Yep it was difficult but I did it and got a couple of laughs hobbling in to the gym this morning. 
 
So today was DB bench 5/3/1 and after a 500m row and some stretching it went like this: 
 
DB Bench (working sets only) 5 x 25kg, 5 x 27.5kg, 10 x 30kg. You will note the 5/3/1 sets are light at the mo but you start based on 90% 1RM to ensure you dont stall too early. 
Accessory work 
Seated DB press - 10 x 15kg (per side), 10 x 15kg, 10 x 17.5, 10x17.5, 10x17.5 
DB rows - 10 x 30kg, 10 x 30, 10 x 32.5, 10 x 32.5 
Weighted dips (with 15kg) - 10reps, 9 reps, 10 reps, 8reps, 7 reps. 
 
That was supposed to be it but it felt all too quick (probably due to not needing alot of rest on 5/3/1 sets right now) so I added in 2 sets of 15 x 38kg OH cable extensions for the triceps. 
 
 
Oh and yesterdays eats..just over the 2900cals with 327g carbs, 85g fats and 210g of protein. Bit hard at the moment to get it all in as I'm on jury duty. Just have to take a few supplies with me.

JK

Ughhhh I've had some crazy pins and needles in my arms on and off since early arvo. Never had this before. 
 
Quads still tight as a tiger. Looking forward to a ride in th morning and some foam roller fun

JK

Pins and needles appear to be gone. 
 
Great ride, strech and roll this morning. Walking much more freely now but will have to see if that's the same by time I get out of car when arrive at work. 
 
Didn't hit cal target yesterday but over maintenance at about 2700cals so still ok.

JK

Gah once again I've had pins and needles in the hands today. Really annoying

Paekakboyz

Hmm usually it's from compression isn't it?? or lack of circulation?? obviously your guns have got so massive they are stealing all the blood! 
 
Has Dr Google given you any likely causes?

JK

I try avoid Dr Google if possible. 
 
The pins and needles didn't hang around too long which is good. 
 
Legs still pretty dam tender. Will do some more stretching tonight as am keen to give deads a good effort tomorrow and am planning to sneak a few squats in to my accessory work.

carpel tunnel syndrome (worst case scenario)... Dr Bart - maybe Dr Google or Dr Physio would be a better option....

JK

Ughhh just did some reading on it and its a distinct possibility.

Go see a doctor, if nothing else but to put your mind at ease. Don't be a typical guy and let it get worse...

Kirwan, where were you when I did my shoulder? Even though the wife was pushing me to go :nta

JK

So woke this morning and hands a bit numb. Googled some exercises and stretches that may help. Started them this morning and seemed to help. Will see how I go through the weekend and if no better then make an appointment. 
 
Todays workout was 
 
Deadlifts 5/3/1 - 100kg x 5, 120 x 5, 135 x 8 (working sets only) 
Accessory work was: 
Squats - 5 sets of 10 @ 70kg (nice and deep) 
Hanging leg raises - 3 sets of 12 
Ham string curls - 3 sets of 10 
 
Went for another ride at the end - 10mins.
