JK is normally a morning workout junkie, no idea how he manages it! I much prefer weights later in the day... unless it's the weekend!

JK

Yeah train first thing in the morning. Alarm goes 530am and at I'm at the gym by 545am. 
 
To be honest I prefer lifting later in the day with more fuel on board but it doesnt work for my time availability so I ended up training fasted on just BCAAs.

ÄŒardio and abs this morning after Phin's rugby and waiting for Mia's ballet to finish. 
20mins on cross trainer full noise 
Then abs which was 2 to 3 sets each of decline crunches, cable chops, hanging leg raises, weighted side bends, medicine ball twists and Swiss ball crunches. 
Triceps really feeling it after yesterday. Must have got them good

JK

Week 4 of phat coming up and last week before changing a few exercises to keep things fresh. 
One slight change this week though is that I am going to swap day 3 and 5 around so that chest and arms is done mid week and back and shoulders on Friday. I suspect this is probably better given that under the last few weeks setup I have had two legs days separated by a back day which is not ideal.

BB bench - 75kg 5x5 - struggled a bit but got there. Probably could have done with longer rests
