<p>Yeah basically working the rack. You start with the 10kg dumbells and bang out 10 reps (easy) then quicky grab the next ones up (12.5kg at my gym) and straight in to another 10 rep and so on until you cant complete the 10 reps. Then its times for a 30sec breather at the top (check out the view etc) and head back down the rack to where you started. 1 ladder set is usually enough!</p>

<p>Yeah, providing links to fitness chicks is awesome (please keep coming JK). But I agree there's a bit too much makeup going on there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would faint if this chick ever worked out in my line of sight:</p>

<p> :good:</p>
-
Preachers plus Hammers very good. Pump guaranteed.
-
<p>Back still not so good. Had golf yesterday but gave up after 8 holes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today's training therefore wasn't as usual. Did a lot of reading last night and was recommended to pretty much do only seated stuff where can brace in a position rather than relying on your back. This means no bent over rows or standing press etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Warmup - 10mins cross trainer</p>

<p>Lat pulldowns - 20x48kg, 15x54, 10x60, 10x60</p>
<p>Seated barbell press (smith machine) - 15x30kg, 12x40, 10x45, 10x45</p>
<p>Incline DB curls - 12x12.5kg/side, 12x15, 10x17.5 (massive focus with keeping the elbows as low as possible and locked in place - great contraction this way)</p>
<p>Seated DB extensions - 20x20kg, 15x22.5, 15x22.5</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tomorrow's legs session will also be a take it easy sorta session. Will be starting with single leg work to fry them good before doing leg press at a lower weight than usual as legs should give out before too much pressure on the back. No squats or deads planned.</p> -
<p>Ouch, can't imagine it was much fun at golf!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good work around plan bro. That's a decent effort in spite of the sore back. Amazing what you can still get done even if your back isn't playing ball.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lunges and maybe body weight squats could be a goer for legs? </p> -
<p>Back was actually pretty good for the rest of yesterday, bit sore in the evenings and first thing but while up and mobile seems ok'ish.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today was legs and a different order / paced workout to what I usually do. Smashed all the single leg stuff first which really fried the quads and hammies. Found it quite hard actually!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Warmup - 10mins ride ramping up the resistance every 2mins for 5km in total. And then a roll out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leg extensions - 20x36kg/side, 15x42, 12x54, 10x60, 10x66, 10x66</p>
<p>Lying leg curls - 20x30kg/side, 15x36, 15x36, 10x42</p>

<p>Seated leg curls - 20x66kg, 20x66</p>
<p>Lunges - 1 length of gym (approx 15 lunges per side) unweighted, then 3 lengths (and back) @ 12.5kg/side</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Finished with 10mins on the cross trainer again</p> -
A really rough 24 hours. Got knocked over hard by a tummy bug my kids had. Was just as the kids explained, feeling really cold and shivering yet a tempreture and "burps with water in them". I can tell you it wasn't water. Pretty sure I called up Ralph on the giant porcelain phone about 15 to 20 times yesterday. Not even dry toast would stay down.<br><br>
Forgot to turn 515am alarm off so when it went this morning I still got up and went to the gym. Just 40mins on the bike sipping BCAAs and water which all stayed down. About to try and eat.... -
<p>yuck, good luck with the kai!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You haven't been to Havelock North lately have ya??</p>
