Week 3, Day 2 sets were 20, 25, 15, 15, 25. <br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
Repeated this workout with the prescribed 90s rest between sets, EXCEPT the last one where I had to extend to three minutes. Got through the last set with a couple of rests and had to do the very last two on knees despite two attempts.<br />
<br />
So tomorrow I venture back onto the rugby field for the first time since I lost all the weight. Haven't played contact of any sort in about 14 months, and my first training session with the team will be tomorrow morning.<br />
<br />
So, combining all these factors, I expect to be absolutely useless tomorrow and will be praying for scrums... -

Hundred pushups Week 3 Day 3: 22, 30, 20, 20, 28. Using prescribed breaks of 120s.<br />
<br />
Set 1 ok.<br />
Set 2 had to do last rep on knees<br />
Set 3 had to do last 5 on knees<br />
Set 4 had to do last 5 on knees<br />
Set 5 had to do last 18 on knees<br />
<br />
Triceps were shot by set 5 and then the strain all moved to the chest. Still feeling quite fatigued from rugby Saturday so I'll redo this day on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
edit: finished with abs tonight. 10 x myotatic crunch and 10 x cat vomit. Then some relaxation stretches and breathing. -

Fantastic work, good to see you making consistent progress -
On a short holiday to central NSW (Dubbo Zoo - cyclopath is around here somewhere) and a fair bit of ordinary diet and drinking going on here... still managed to get 5 km of run in this morning in 26:27 which was a good time considering I haven't run in a while. Good to sweat out the half dozen rums I had last night.<br />
<br />
Walked a few km around the zoo today and got to see some rad animals. The zoo here is great - wide open spaces for them to get around in rather than the concrete pens of some city zoo zoos. Highly recommended.<br />
<br />
Rather spoiled all the exercise with as make side of Hog's Breath this evening. But fuck that noise; I'm on holiday. -

Repeated with my fat holiday body:<br />
<br />
Set 1: 22 ok.<br />
Set 2: 20 ok, 10 on knees.<br />
Set 3: 20 ok.<br />
Set 4: 20 ok (effort - last one was probably not 100%)<br />
Set 5: 12 ok, 16 on knees.<br />
<br />
Finished with abs: myotatics x 10 and cast vomit x 10.<br />
<br />
Man that hurt. A bit of alcohol and bad food, combined with no decent exercise during this short break, have really knocked me around. -

Bit surprising, given the diet and exercise plan isn't great when you take a few days off, but I'll take it. -

Repeat with a headache brought on by the medication for my cold sore (first time I've had side effects on Famvir).<br />
<br />
Sets 1-3 ok.<br />
Set 4: 12 ok, 8 on knees.<br />
Set 5: 12 ok, 16 on knees.<br />
<br />
Not getting any easier based on results, but I feel stronger and the chest feels firmer. Think I need to get this Week 3, Day 3 routine down before I proceed to Week 4 where I failed last time.<br />
<br />
Finished with abs : myotatic crunch x 10, cat vomit x 10.<br />

Repeat of Week 3, Day 3.<br />
<br />
Sets 1-4 ok.<br />
Set 5: 24 ok (with a couple of rests at top and bottom), 4 on knees.<br />
<br />
Man that actually felt pretty good. Left wrist and tricep let me down badly toward the end.<br />
<br />
Finished with usual abs. -
Rode into work today: 7.72km in 20:28<br />
Ride home from work: 10.31km in 24:37<br />
<br />
Might go for a run in the morning - the weather is warming up here so morning runs are back on the agenda. 30 degrees the last couple of days which keeps the streets pretty warm overnight. -
5km in 27:16 this morning. Was warmer than I expected and I'll be looking forward to DST kicking in on Sunday so the 6am starts actually mean something.<br />
<br />
In other news, stepped on the scales after my shower and it read 95.8kg - that is 20kg lost since August 2011, when I started recording all this stuff. About 415 days I guess, at 48 gm per day on average.<br />
<br />
Take it easy on the eating today and tomorrow's weigh in should be most satisfying.
