Just finished my delicious protein shake and now I'm ready to relax.
I've started getting bored doing so many normal sit ups so I put a 5kg weight on my chest so I don't have to do as many. 3sets, 35, 25, 17reps.

First set of pushups with 5kg on my back 15reps, 2nd set with 6.25kg 15reps and last set with no weight 15reps.

1 Warm up set of DB curls again alternating between hammer and normal. 20reps.
2sets of heavy incline curls ( love that incline bench ) 7reps, 5reps. Then 2sets of heavy Barbell curls 6reps and 4reps.

1 set warmup tricep extensions, followed by 3sets of heavy close grip bench, 10reps, 4reps, and 6reps. Then 2sets of heavy tricep extension 2x6reps.

Finished up with 6 chin ups and a hang from the bar for 120seconds (thought I'd try it)

Went for a run this evening and felt pretty good, my legs are in that relaxed state now. Ran for 17 1/2mins.
Really pushed my self when running up the hills to a decent pace, not quite a sprint.
And thats all I have to report for now.

Started with sit ups again with a 5kg plate on my chest. 3sets of 40, 30, and 20. Then on to push Ups 2sets with 6.25kg on my back and 1 set with without, all 15reps.
Did 2sets on the bench with 47kg, 10reps and 8reps. Then 3sets bent over rows 10reps, 6reps, 6reps. Also decided to do some BB shoulder press did 2sets with 30kg for 10reps and 8reps.
Thats about it, I think I blew the workout coz my mum came round and took me out for a few drinks, only had 4 beers but I know thats not good (not sure on how to work the calories and stuff for that but I know its bad).

I've noticed that my biceps are growing alot more then any other muscle. Not sure on why this is, maybe my bicep routine is in tac while everything else isn't.

I'm also tossing up the idea of going into a bulking phase because once I get to kapooka (boot camp) I'll be losing alot of weight, but I still want to keep up the cardio. Let me know what your thoughts are? (if anyones reading this....)

Went for a 30min run last night although I would have stoped and walked for about 3-4mins, I found it pretty challenging. I tryed pushuing my self for a while then jogging then pushed again, all in all I think I would have travelled about 5 1/2 -6km.

Having been posting my progress for a few days but will be back on soon, I'm going to start getting up at the crack of dawn and doing my cardio, Monday-Friday, and going to re-design my workout aswell, as I'll be doing push ups and sit ups in the mornings, half way through my run and chin ups after the run on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

I haven't sat down and worked out my routine as of yet but when I do I'll be sure to post it.
I'm looking at bringing back bench press to my routine, adding deadlifts, and some light quad n calf work.

After reading that first part it didnt make much sense so I'll re-phrase it.

I'll be doing early morning cardio 5days a week (mon-friday). On Monday, wednesday and friday I'll be doing pushups, sit ups and chin ups during the cardio.

Had sort of a mixed up workout tonight trying some new things with drop sets and I have to say that I've found that burn that I've been missing over the last few months. Everything is still sore and I think its gonna be worst tomorrow.
I'll sit down and put pen to paper with the workout tomorrow to start it on the new week.
Exercises I did tonight consist of; benchpress, narrow grip bench, BB curls, Bent over Rows, Tri-extensions, and I think thats about it.

Took some pictures earlier today and I'll get them up as soon as they get developed.

I'm still haven't got a concrete routine yet but I have a rough outline of what I'm going to do. I'm about to have my pre workout meal so I'll be back when I'm done to post the routine.

Down_Under · 23-Jul-03, 05:28 AM

Haven't had much time to post lately but here's the split I've started using...
Monday: Chest Back Tri's Bi's
Tuesday: Quads Calves Shoulders Abs
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Chest Back Tri's Bi's
Friday: Quads Calves Shoulders Abs
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off

I've started early morning cardio on Monday, Wednesday & Fridays, I'll be doing it on Tuesday and Thursday after I've gotten used to it.

I'll post all the exercises, reps & sets when I get abit more time.

Arrgggh I'M SIC. seems i have caught a cold. I tryed going for a run this morning but really couldnt handle it so I didn't even bother trying to workout this evening.

So I'll be taking a few days off till I'm well enough to get back to it. Still waiting on those pics to get developed aswell.
