<p>Just cardio and abs today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did 30mins on the bike and then 15mins of abs circuits, mainly weighted stuff.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Been going to a local physio at knee care for help with my knee. Looks to be good old pateollo femoral (runners knee). Said had a lot of fluid under my knee cap etc but the clicking I get going up stops can really be pit pointed. Been told to ride 15mins everyday (hmm) and do ice treatments. Going back next monday and then plan out how best to strengthen and iron out any imbalances in my quads. She reckons its fairly straight forward to address and the clicking will stop as we progress. Fingers crossed!</p> -
<p>Shoulders and bike today. I think everyday gonna be a bike day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Workout was</p>
<p>Hammerstrength seated press - 15x20kg/side, 12x35, 12x35, 10x40, 10x40 dropset to 12x20</p>
<p>Upright rows - 12x44kg, 12x44, 10x50, 10x50</p>
<p>Front raises (using cable / rope setup) - 15x20kg, 12x26, 12x26, 12x23</p>

<p>Kettlebell side raises -10x8kg/side, 12x8, 12x8</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finished with 15mins on the bike - low resistance and 100rpm. Knee is all strapped up at the mo and hardly had a click today so the added support is helping.</p> -
Arms yesterday then a day out fishing, well a morning in the end as we filled the bins in just over an hour. All good fish too. Lots of fresh lean protein for this weekend. And a double arms workout too.<br><br>
Today was cardio - 30mins on the bike then abs<br><br>
Feeling a bit shot today and last night, like I'm hungover but I'm not. Dunno what the fuck it is but early night ahead -
<p>Well still been fairly a bit puckerooed the last few days. Dunno what it is, maybe some sort of virus. Early to bed every night and a fair few painkillers to dull the headaches but perhaps foolishly it hasnt really slowed me down too much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sunday was golf - ie a 6 to 7km walk. Played average but picked up longest drive for like 5th tournament in a row. Its pretty much all I got right now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Monday - 15mins bike and then a short chest and triceps session. Physio in the arvo and she massaged the shit out of my quad. Reckons will be pretty sore later today and tomorrow just like after a nasty legs session. Was birthday yesterday too so ribs for dinner then cheesecake. Also had crepe cake and movenpick ice cream during the day plus the last of the weekends snapper. Was good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today - 15mins bike and then back and biceps session. Was fairly good to heavy - less evercises than usual due to time lost cycling but more sets with more weight.</p> -
<p>Reckon the year can start to catch up with you during Silly season, only takes a few extra events (plus the kai and booze) to put a dent in the energy levels. Sure it wasn't from celebrating your birthday :whistle: he he</p>
-
Physio session today again involved a brutal massage my quad. Physio will join me for some legs exercises next weds so until then just more cycling.<br><br>
Weight now a lightweight 76kg. Getting leaner every day but had massive refeed today so carb bloat on. -
<p>No training Sat or Sunday due to family commitments but ate well and had a great chest and tricep session this morning. Havent really been able to attribute it to anything obvious but maybe it was due to the 2 days rest.</p>

<p>How is the knee feeling? hopefully it's on the mend. </p>
-
<p>Its feeling ok but still clicky as fuck. Plenty of crepitus in both knees too but not too worried about that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Physio today got me doing leg extensions and I focus on a few things to ensure my left knee doesnt roll in. Was getting mean burn in right quad but the muscle in the left one just isnt engaging like it should so gotta keep cranking it at low weights. Also doing wall squats and lots of foam rolling on the IT band as expected to help loosen things up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Already pretty sore after tonights efforts.</p> -
<p>Backed it up with another 15mins on the bike this morning, leg extensions, wall squats and a foam roll out. All good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also trained arms for a bit too - seated DB curls, tricep rope pushdowns, heavier seated DB curls (5reppers), skullcrushers, ez bar 21s and close grip pressups.</p> -
Les mills are running a weekly free outdoor group sessions so the wife and I (plus neighbours) joined them down milford beach for what they call GRIT. Basically 30mins HIIT cardio. Was about 100 ppl there and was actually pretty good. Knees handled it ok. Will go again.
