Not so great weekend.<br />
<br />
Pumped up because of shite form in past couple of weeks. First 5 mins took bal on crash - bumped off 13, ran through12, 10 decided to tackle me high and his finger when right into my eye.....<br />
<br />
Had double vision, everything blurred if i moved my head etc... played on for another 10 mins and had to come off as i couldn't decide which ball to catch when it was coming towards me...<br />

Bench is coming back, managing a rep of 105kgs now and am sure it will push on from there. Want to be nudging 115-120 by summer.<br />
<br />
Posted a few PBs, most happy with weighted dips last night - increased weight to 15kgs hanging from belt and managed 3 sets fo 6 reps.<br />
<br />
Gonna start swimming this weekend as well so that i can halt the advance of teh love handles.<br />
<br />
Haven't run for 5 weeks now and have defo lost muscle from legs in that time.... so while i think the upper body has been chucking on weight, its being undermined by the legs going chicken like.<br />
<br />
Weight is consistently at 14 stone 11 pounds now. -

<br />
Incline dumbell press - 35kg dumbs<br />

Happy with how things are progressing on weights front, but legs are wasting away! -

Chest session on Monday and last night i ventured back up the club and pulled the boots on.<br />
<br />
The ankle is about 80% there now and i would normally give it a few more weeks......but i have a rugby tour this weekend and want to play some part more than running on with water.<br />
<br />
Ankle held up ok in a game of touch - albeit with heavy strapping. -
Just got back from tour. Have lost around 8 lbs. Look and feel skinny as fuck.<br />
<br />
Back to the gym and starting to think about next season.
