JK vs BigRed

<p>Yeah not shifting as much weight or making much progress in adding to the weight lifted but it seems to be working for me. The way I see it is that I'm a bit lighter so keeping my weights up is a decent enough starting point.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most mornings my workout takes about 55mins to get through including a quick warmup like a row. I don't muck around too much in the gym. Have the odd chat and laugh but mainly there to lift. Doing full body with only 3-4 working sets per body part means you dont need much rest time and if I structure it push then pull then push again etc I move through it all pretty quickly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I do miss those dedicated body part sessions though. Really enjoyed doing a decent amount of low rep sets of deads on saturday.</p> -

Just liked that pic I posted above. Feel weird liking own post but dem glutes.....<br><br>
Did my run tonight and dam my knees are no good now for running. Right one sore most the way thru. Anyway had a great start in lead bunch for first 1500m or so but slipped back thru the race and ended up running the 5km in 22min10. Had two stops for stretches but wasn't helping at all so just soldiered on as there was no way I was not gonna finish.<br><br>
Gonna cycle tomorrow and stretch and roll out. Should be fun. -
<p>Cycle was good and just what I needed. 30mins of varied pace to free up the legs and then stretching and foam roller fun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Abs work was cable chops 3 sets each of left to right and right to left and high to low / low to high then quick circuit of bosu ball crunches, ab wheel and leg drops for 15 reps of each and 3 times through.</p> -

Poor quality but will get something a lot better before Xmas -
<p>Looking pretty trim bro! Can't be much more to cut before the full 6 pack shows up.</p>
-
Yeah can't be too far away. Shoulders and arms etc show reasonable definition but abs always last to come (well so i hear). will keep at it til xmas and then that will be me for summer as I don't want to get too light or small chasing abs. <br><br>
Did 30mins on cross trainer today and then abs - weighted crunches, medicine ball twists, rocky sit-ups, mountain climbers and planks -
<p>Such a busy weekend. Didn't have time to think of something else to do for next 3 weeks. Oh well. Full body again this morning. Felt flat as though - think a bit dehydrated from yesterday.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Finished with abs - weighted crunches, weighted side bends, hanging leg raises.</p> -
<p>So......my right knee......it's no good. Tried to squat this morning nothing but bad times. Gonna take things very easy on legs for the rest of the year. Maybe even go see someone about it.</p>

<p>definitely go and see someone bro - even if they just tell you to rest it. If (worst case) you needed treatment then best to get it on record asap - ACC can be a pain to deal with!</p>

<p>Cardio and abs today. 30mins on cross trainer and then stretching and foam roller for legs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Abs work was bosu ball crunches, cable chops (3 sets of 12 per side), decline medicine ball twists (3sets of 12 per side), decline cross over crunches (3 sets of 12 per side) and reverse crunches (2 sets of 15)</p> -
<p>just a thought, based on my recent conversion to flats rather than runners for squats/deads etc. Are you squatting in your runners? Do you get the same pain if you are squatting barefoot? maybe that is worth a try? I was getting twisting through my ankles and knees due to the heel compressing. </p>
