Good, heavy (for me ) leg workout tonight...
Squats 110kg 5 x 5
Deadlifts 110kg 4 x 5 120kg 1 x 5
Alternate Single Leg Leg Extensions - 3 sets on a nice Hammer Strength machine I haven't used before
Calf Raises - 3 x 12
This took me just over the hour and left feeling pretty well finished off - good, hard session at Genesis - top gym. Some good strength gains since last week.
Doing a Boxercise course tommorrow so will be qualified to teach - another string to my bow...

Chest/Shoulders Session last night...
Flat Bench Press 85kg 5 x 5 - a 5kg improvement on last week
Incline D/B Press 25/30/32kg 3 x 8
Standing Military Press 40kg 3 x 8
Lateral Raises 10kg 3 x 8
Weighted (5kg) Dips 3 x 8
Pleased with the Bench Press inprovement. Was going to do a Triceps exercise to finish but by the time I'd finished the dips my Triceps were pretty well shot - less is more and all that!
Legs tonight - can't wait...

Thanks for popping by Ticteaser.
Boxercise course was good - tough day though.
I've used glove/pad work with clients for a while but the course gave me some useful technique stuff to use.
Nice bit of DOMS in the chest tis morning BTW

So the good news is...I've just proved that I can get to the gym and back well within the hour and have a good workout to boot - the plan for next year is to do my training during the day saving my evenings for teaching and personal training work.
Leg workout went something like this -
Squats
20 x 20kg
12 x 60kg
10 x 80kg
8 x 100kg
6 x 110kg
3 x 120kg
6 x 100kg
Hack Squat Machine
10 x 40kg
10 x 60kg
10 x 8okg
SLDL
10 x 60kg
8 x 80kg
8 x 80kg
8 x 80kg
Seated Calf Raise
15 x 40kg
15 x 40kg
15 x 40kg
Pleased with all that - especially the Squats - didn't have a spotter so didn't try a 1RM - will do this post Christmas now.
Now sat back at my desk with a huge pot of natural yoghurt with and Frusli bar crumbled into it.

Chest/Shoulders/Triceps yesterday
Trained at home with max D/B weight 25kgs so started with Shoulders which proved quite successful as I D/B pressed my 25kgs for the first time.
Seated D/B Press
20kg 1 x10
22.5kg 1 x 10
25kg 1 x 10
Lateral Raises
10kg 3 x 8
Inc. D/B Press
25kg 2 x 12
1 x 15 (need more weight at home)
Decline Flyes
10kg 3 x 8
Skullcrushers/CG Bench Press
28kg 3 x 8/3 x 8
Followed the S/C's immediately with CG Bench
Not a bad workout but a bit light on weight - all my New Year sessions will be in the gym - I'll leave the weights at home for my clients

Cheers guys! - I would like to think there's not that many 40 plus folk who have run a sub 2:50 marathon and benched 100kg in the same calender year
Back to the training...
Back and Biceps today - a bit of a light one as I hurt my lower back the other day - so no deadlifts.
Wide Grip Chins - 3 x 6
Bent Over Rows - 40kg 1 x 12
50kg 1 x 10
60kg 3 x 6
Close Grip Lat Pulldowns
120lbs 1 x 12
150lbs 1 x 10
180lbs 1 x 8
210lbs 1 x 6
Seated Cable Rows
60kg 1 x 12
75kg 3 x 10
EZ Bicep Curls
18kg 1 x 12
28kg 3 x 8
Had a good pump by the end but never really feel I am 'working' my back - know what I mean?
Weight is up around 83.5kgs - need to get into a regular 'weighing in' routine - same time, same clothes, same scales etc. - another New Years resolution
Will post some photos soon - once I've got my 50 posts up anyways...
Sam

Hi mate
Thought I'd pop in and say hello.
I'm looking to change my routine to a push/pull/legs split myself in the new year, do you feel it benefits you more to start with chest or shoulders first on push day?
As has been said, great marathon time, I couldn't do that downhill on a bike.

Hi 40 plus,
Thanks for popping in.
Normally, I would always train Chest before Shoulders as I like to Bench Press when I am fresh and strong (ish!) but when at home with limited weights I find it useful to train Shoulders first so the 25kg D/B's are more of a challenge when I get on to Chest.
Things will change a bit for me after Christmas when all my training will be at a decent gym - the routine wil be:
Monday - Chest and Triceps
Tuesday - Back and Biceps
Weds - Rest
Thursday - Shoulders and Traps plus teaching Circuit Training Class evening
Friday - Legs
Saturday - Rest
Subnday - Teaching Spin Class
I will do Abs during my PT sessions with clients as well as a bit of light running, Boxecise etc. - not forgetting stretching!
Should work okay - will review after a couple of months.
Sam

No, no good, file size is too large - can someone give me some non-techy, techy type advice?
Thanks

I always use the embed picture option at the bottom mate, but they have to be quite small.
It's the only way I know but there are others.
