<p>Too hungover again to trian yesterday but had a good albeit short session this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Giant set of DB press, DB row, shoulder press and lat pulldowns X 3</p>
<p>Giant set of squats, lunges, squats, lunges and hanging leg raises X 3</p>
<p>Did some lame arms work at end too - DB curls and tricep pushdowns etc</p> -
Haven't trained at all this week due to lack of time plus hangovers. Coming to the end of this work stint and while all the restauranting and boozing has been great, it will be even better to settle back in to the old routine at home and give the body what it needs again. <br><br>
Diet has been lacking in protein here. Eggs everyday for brekky but pretty much downhill from there! -
<p>Nice to have a change of pace! Have no doubt you'll be straight back into your routine - wonder if you'll see a jump in gains after giving the body a bit of R&R?? Hopefully!</p>
-
<p>Did a quick weigh in this arvo and bodyweight the same as when I left but body fat up which means muscle down!! Doh!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pumped to get back in to it though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Arrived home to a box of supps too from my main man at xplosiv. New pre workouts to try, more creatine and plenty of protein to see me through the next month or so. Lets go!</p> -

<p>Dude.......</p> -
Pretty sore from yesterday despite then low workload<br><br>
Legs today and for some reason it took a while to get my left quad firing. Felt super tight so had to do a few sets of light leg press to get it going. <br><br>
Warmup was 5mins ride then 1 min vibe and a rollout before light leg extensions<br><br>
Squats - 15xbar, 15xbar then tried 60kg and quad tight so more rolling and two sets of 20x80kg on leg press<br><br>
Squats 2 - 10x60, 10x60, 10x100, 12x100, 6x120, 8x120<br>
Leg press - 12x200kg, 12x200, 10x240, 10x240<br>
Lunges - 15/side x 2<br>
Lying hamstring curls 15x36kg, 10x42, 10x42 drop set 10x36<br>
Seated calf press - 15x200, 12x280, 10x320, 10x320<br><br>
Then 15mins on the bike at a good pace. -
<p>Got a new one for lunges and squats bro. Can be done as a one armed or both arm variations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Use a KB or DB - get it into rack position (gotta keep that elbow up) and do 8 squats, then into lunges (say 10m or so) then 6 squats, lunges again, 4 squats, lunges, then 2 squats to finish. Then swap arms and repeat. This is a dead set killer! Need a bit of room but the burn is real. I think we only managed one set at the end of legs on Sat and I was done.</p> -
<p>Back and shoulders this morning</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Waiters carry - 2 laps with 16kg BK</p>

<p>Rear cable shrugs - 20x84kg, 20x96, 20x96</p>

<p>Maybe more rest (if poss) and a few days of just doing stretching and mobility work bro? Sucks trying to keep things ticking over when you are feeling shite. Or you could hold off on cardio and keep the weights going maybe?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ha ha even when you are crook you smack out a solid workout :-)</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Not not really! I just love kumara any which way but for easy I usually just make up a whole lot of mash (with bit of butter added) and then serve up as much as I need each week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chicken - pak n save had boneless/skinless breasts for $7.99 a kg so just bought a couple of kg of that, diced and cooked on bbq on sunday night. Have was garlic and soy and the other half hot as fuck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Remembering greens is the hard part as I try and stay away from the frozen stuff. Usually brocolli or salads as usually plenty on the garden, got heaps of kale right now.</p>
