Becks' Shape up-lose the blubber-pics page 6

Cheers Hififi
Legs are probably my strongest bodypart, would like a bit more shape to them though.  Calves are ridiculous though (genetic), so I never train them now.  Don't know if this is the way to go but I definitely don't want any more size on them.
 
 
45 minutes cardio blitzed.

I don't train calves either.

I've been trying a slightly different tactic with my diet this week.  Basically no carbs after 10am. (except for pwo shake).
Results are that I'm now back to 13st 12lbs
 
Be interesting to see if this works as well next week.

Delayed my back workout last week due to an old neck injury.
Here it is.
 
Back and rear delts
 
Low row 27.5kgx15, 27.5kgx12, 30kgx12

Knee raise 12,12,10

love this journal - most of the lads I see in my gym can't DL or Leg Press what you do. Maybe you should come down and show them how its done!

Unfortunately no deadlifts this week
Woke up three days ago with a twinge in my neck, ignored it last time and ended up not being able to move for 2 weeks.

What did you end up having to eat in Prezzo the other day?
I'm going out for a meal in a similar Italian themed restaurant on Thurs so will have to keep myself under control  :/

Ended up having a salad (dressing on the side).
 
I don't know if its the lower carbs in my diet but I'm shattered in the gym.

Pleased with this. Will admit I've been slacking a bit on the cardio but this means I'm losing
just on diet alone.
 
Cracking on with cardio this week though.

Well done!

Nightmare at the gym today.
Leg workout started off pretty well.
 
Leg press  160kgx15, 170kgx15  (feet close together and lower for quads)
                  170kgx15, 190kgx15  (feet higher up for hams)
Hack squat  50kgx12, 60kgx12, 70kgx12
SLDL    40kgx12, 50kgx12
 
Just adding another plate to the bar when I felt a shooting pain in my lower back
 
Thought it might pass, even contemplated doing some leg curls (until I tried to walk that is).
At home now, trying not to keep still to long so that it doesn't seize up.
 
Very hacked off!
