Started with noise control, then 2 police cars and ended with me giving one of the guys a smack on the chops. Actually no it didnt end there, it ended when he jumped in his car drunk and drove in to his fence.<br>
<br>
Anyway......reset the alarm for 7am and just came to work. Been on the coffees and carb loading all morning but will head to the gym mid arvo and smash chest and arms as usual before heading to the T20 at Eden Park tonight. That is assuming of course that my house has not been burnt down....</p></blockquote>
<br>
That sounds pretty intense - on the plus side, surely it counts as two work outs in one day....(sounds like a Crowded House song) <br>
Hope the "neighbours" are now behaving themselves, nothing worse than having to put up with other twats right on your doorstep. Glad to see it didn't spoil your day in the end. -

It's ok she might be keen tonight -
<p>Back and shoulders today and did it slightly different.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Warmup was 3 sets of waiters walk with the 18kg kettlebell and 3 sets of rubber band pulls</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Back set 1 - Lat pulldowns (12x54kg) superset with Seated row (12x54kg) X 10sets</p>
<p>Shoulder set 1 - Seated DB press (12x15kg) superset with Upright cable rows (12x38kg) X 10 sets</p>
<p>Back set 2 - Close grip pulldowns (15x54kg) superset with Widegrip seated row (15x48kg) X 5 sets</p>
<p>Shoulder set 2 - DB side raises (dropset of 10x7.5kg --> 10x5kg --> 10x2.5kg/side) superset with Busdrivers - (10x5kg...5kg plate is hardly a bus steering wheel!) X 5 sets</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Done. A whole lot of shoulder stretching to finish</p> -
<p>Jaysus, am I reading that correct? first set was 240 reps in total!!? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm almost afraid to ask how many scoops you took :whistle:</p> -
<p>2nd legs day today and kept it pretty simple.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Started with 20mins on the spin bike at mixed pace and resistance</p>
<p>Squats - 10xbar, 10x60kg, 10x60, 10x80, 10x80 then 6 sets of 10x90 each superset with hanging leg raises. Big focus on form and depth which can often go out the window on heavier days.</p>
<p>Lying hammie curls - 20x30kg, 15x36, 12x42</p>
<p>Standing calf raises - 20x130, 15x150 x 5 sets</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And that was it. Wanted to do more abs work but had to be in early.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Few tweaks to diet after running in to my PT with a slight tweak to carb timing and carb intake overall. Time to try build some muss without getting too fat. Can do this.</p> -
What does your daily diet consist of mate? Any cheat meals?
