<br> &nbsp; <br> I extended the route which came to 3.55 miles.&nbsp; I ran a quick pace again and completed it in 33.49 mins.&nbsp; 475 calories burnt - which is good because I've always aimed at 500 cals on a decent cardio session.&nbsp; I think I've definitely got the running bug.&nbsp; It's only really the weather and the fact that I have to go so late at night that puts me off.&nbsp; I should be out every night once I'm cutting as I'm building upto it nicely. <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4713301Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:56:59 GMT Chest + Bi's&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>WEEK 6</b> <br> <b>&nbsp;</b> <br> Inc DB press&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 x ?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 30kg (14), 30kg (14), 30kg (10) <br> Dec BB press&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 70kg, 75kg, 80kg <br> Dips&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 x ?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BW (6, 4) <br> Inc flies&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.5kg, 17.5kg, 15kg <br> &nbsp; <br> BB curls&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 45kg, 45kg, 40kg <br> Hammer bar&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 30kg (not inc bar) for all <br> Cable curls&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; P8 for all <br> &nbsp; <br> Really good session.

<br> &nbsp; <br> I managed to run last night.&nbsp; It was one of my best runs yet.&nbsp; I went straight from work in the day light (just).&nbsp; I found a new route that is 2.8 miles (this is closer to the 3.1 - 5k I want to be doing in practise for the ParkRun).&nbsp; I did it in 27 mins and my pace was much quicker than normal.&nbsp; Burnt 384 calories. <br> &nbsp; <br> The best thing about the new route is, it avoids some of the crazy hills (or evens them out a bit) and it's a round route.&nbsp; Eg, my previous route was run to a point, turn round, come home.&nbsp; Not very motivating.&nbsp; I can also extend this route which should add another 1.5 miles on.&nbsp; Hopefully I'll do that next week. <br> &nbsp; <br> I'm aiming for the ParkRun tomorrow.&nbsp; It looks like it will be very cold, but as long as the paths aren't slippy it'll be ok. <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4708914Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:13:19 GMT Chest, Shoulders + Tri's&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>WEEK 5</b> <br> <b>&nbsp;</b> <br> Inc DB Press&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 x 12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 30kg for all&nbsp; (12, 12, 10) <br> Dec BB Press&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 70kg, 75kg, 75kg <br> Military Press&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 45kg for all <br> 1 Arm DB&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.5kg for both&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SS with <br> Side raises&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 x 12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8kg for both <br> Inc flies&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 17.5kg for both <br> Skulls&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 25kg (not inc bar) for all <br> Rope PD&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 x 10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; P8, P7 <br> &nbsp; <br> Decent session.&nbsp; Reduced the weight in some areas because I was tired anyway, plus the extra work.&nbsp; And there's the odd exercise missing from combining the sessions, but it worked well. <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4708296Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:22:00 GMT I'm normally ok for a 3 or 4 day split but it's been crazy his week http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4707664Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:39:57 GMT Struggling bit with training brittas? you looked at trying some complex stuff for quick blasts? http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4707598Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:22:39 GMT Nightmare week! <br> &nbsp; <br> It's Wednesday afternoon and I've not been running and only had 1 training session so far this week. <br> &nbsp; <br> The little one was a bit ill yesterday and gave the wife a bit of a scare so I came home from work pretty much as soon as I'd arrived.&nbsp; He's ok, just a trip to the docs.&nbsp; This meant I didn't train yesterday.&nbsp; Neither did I run because we had a hard time getting him to sleep. <br> &nbsp; <br> I have been in meetings all day and Friday is booked up.&nbsp; That only leaves tomorrow for my 2nd weights session.&nbsp; I'll have to miss legs and do a Push session tomorrow.&nbsp; <br> &nbsp; <br> I really want to get a run in ASAP.&nbsp; Not even for fat loss..... just to keep my fitness up and not have to ease back into it after anytime off.&nbsp; I might go tonight, but I'm dead.&nbsp; If not, straight from work tomorrow. <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4707466Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:35:26 GMT It's going to have to be a 3 day split this week as I have a couple of all day events at work. <br> &nbsp; <br> Back + Bi's&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>WEEK 5</b> <br> <b>&nbsp;</b> <br> WG Chins&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3 x ?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BW for all&nbsp;(10, 5, 5) - yay 10!

I've heard it's the most difficult park run in the UK! But my usual run is up a big hill so I'm kinda used to it. I didn't actually hear the official reason but it was icey and no one ran. Except me and a few others. http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4704949Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:34:35 GMT Never been to a Parkrun thats been called off - they still go ahead even in the ice and snow! Is it flat or hilly? You'll be surprised how much a difference a flat 5k run makes.&nbsp; <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4704930Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:15:43 GMT Park run this morning. What a disaster! <br> <br> To start with, I took the 4 year old with me and his bike. Idea being to meet the Father in-law so he could take him in the park on his bike while I ran. We planned to meet in the car park but he didn't turn up til gone 9am.......after the run should have started. I don't really know why he didn't come on time. But....... <br> <br> ....... whilst sat around waiting for him. I noticed people coming to their cars. It had been called off because of the iced paths. I decided to have a gentle run anyway seen as I was there and Father in-law had taken the kid. I only ran 2 of 3 laps as it was hard work dodging the ice and running in the muddy patches to avoid it. It was only a 20 min run in the end. Far from idea but better than nothing I suppose. http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4704170Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:31:08 GMT Baaahhhh, no running last night.&nbsp; That means I've only managed one this week.&nbsp; I think I'm going Saturday morning.&nbsp; I need to make that decision (with the wife of course!!), and run tonight if not. <br> &nbsp; <br> If I can hit 2 this week thats acceptable.&nbsp; After that, I think I'll aim for 5 sessions a week.&nbsp; I'll no doubt never achieve this, but the mentality of "oh, I can miss tonight and go another night", will potentially lead to 1 or 2 runs a week.&nbsp; At least if I aim for 5 I might hit 3 or 4.&nbsp; If I'm doing these Saturday morning Park Run's, I'll make sure I rest Friday night.&nbsp; Other than that, go for them all! <br> &nbsp; <br> Weigh in - <b>13st 0lbs</b> - so no change.&nbsp; I do feel like I'm slowly looking better in the mirror, but there's still a belly to get rid of.&nbsp; And I mean, before I even start a cut. <br> &nbsp; <br> I've had 4 weeks on this IF diet now, and I can see the benefits.&nbsp; I'm just not convinced things would be all that different if I had 3 meals a day.&nbsp; I may re-introduce breakfast next week, and get strict in the evenings.&nbsp; See if I see a difference.&nbsp; I've had 4 weeks on this diet, so I might have 4 weeks on my previous "standard diet" and see how things go. <br> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/fb.ashx?m=4703269Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:27:29 GMT
