Monday 23rd January

Bench
Bar x 2
60 x 5
102.5 x 5 x 3
102.5 x 4 x 2 Fail!

Incline
60
80 x 5 x 4
70 x 5 x 1
Struggled on the incline tonight

Db flyes
20 x 5 x 1
22.5 x 5 x 4
Struggled on these too , was doing them on 27.5 last. Had some shoulder pain which started on the flat bench :(

Weighted dips
30k x 5 x 2
Put the weight up (possibly to try and redeem myself ) and it didn't work . Reverted to sets of 10 bodyweight ones.

10 x 4

Overall below average session , possibly blew myself out going for the 102.5 on the bench. Diet hasn't been the best the past 3 days.

Also my mind hasn't been 100% focused on training since I started looking for a new car at the weekend.

These things happen.......It can only get better though :)

Well bit of an update, i havent touched a weight for the past 3 weeks due to lack of transport/holiday/illness in that order.

Over the past few days i have completed 2 cardio sessions which felt tough (will detail them below) - I need to place a bit more emphasis on the cardio aspect of my game now.

Thursday 16th February
Tabbed with 55lb for an hour across rough terrain , would have been longer but a sea of cows blocked our normal route so we had to go on an alternative one. I bet they didnt have a clue what was happening with 2 blokes with headtorches approaching them in the middle of nowhere!

Saturday 18th February
Gentle Jog.It was a bit of a wake up call made worse by me recovering from a ****ty week long sore throat/cold type thing.

Havent run properly since November and focussing purely on the big 3 strength movements. This was intentional as i knew i could let my fitness slide a little while focussing on strength - well the tables have turned now and its time to smash the cardio.
