    Tend to spend around 70-80 mins, but that's inlcuding stuffing around and lots of stretching/core exercises. Was told by one trainer mate not to do more than 50, but then a better trainer mate said that's rubbish. You can always snack on a protein bar or something after about 45-50 if you like.

      Had my fitness assessment and my first personal training session this week and it was certianly pretty interesting.<br />
      <br />
      From what I remember these were my results.<br />
      <br />
      Weight 84kg (that one baffles me)<br />
      22% bodyfat<br />
      Fitness - not too bad<br />
      Flexibility - really bad, especially hammy's<br />
      Height - 178 cm (due to posture. should have another cm)<br />
      Posture - Not too bad, but my right shoulder sits a bit higher than my left and my back is flat. So in my programme I have been told to focus on these things initially in my exercises to make sure everything is in balance.<br />
      <br />
      Cant remember the rest, but they werent the most pertinant issues. I now have a 4-6 week program which goal is to get my body fitter and used to lifting weights with the correct form.

        The instructor actually encouraged me to have some sports massage done, particularly working on my shoulder and hammys. I am also stretching 3 times a day to loosen up.

          Just got home from a big pissup tonight.<br />
          <br />
          Anyway, I've decided im not going to give up on having something to drink for fun. Instead my focus has changed to watching what I eat when I drink. Usually I succumb to some tasty chippies and whatever meat is coming off the bbq. Instead I ate a big meal before I came, (of food im allowed to eat) and didnt feel hungry the whole night.<br />
          <br />
          I think I will try to compensate tomorrow from a big cardio session.

            Been told to get some remedial massage. Aparently when i fucked my shoulder in the past, it may have done some kind of ligament damage because i didnt see a doctor.

              <br />

                Havent updated for a while, but I was going solidly again till the weekend just gone. Went to QLD for a big piss up and did all those things I shouldnt be doing.<br />
                <br />
                Went back yesterday and my muscles started tightening up really fast. I was pretty disappointed, but I should be able to make up for it next session.

                  Results!<br />
                  <br />
                  I was getting pretty down because I hadn't noticed a whole lot of change in the 6 weeks I've been training. This morning I put on a pair of work pants I hadn't worn for a couple of months that are usually a bit tight around the waist. They now fit perfectly, and I need to tighten my belt up 1 more notch!

                        Keep it up Mickster - you've got to push through those 6-8 week barriers as your body adjusts to the new load. Mix up your training a bit to keep yourself interested and see results in different areas.

                          Yeah I need to start a new program to fix my shoulder. I went to the physio to get it looked at and my right shoulder compared to the left is a bit shit. When I bring my arm/shoulder back the scapula gets locked in much before my left and the rest of the muscles compensate for it making it very sore.
