JubNZ Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 So been slack on the updates, been busy and kept saying "Ill do it tomorrow", here we go! Tuesday 25th: Ended up getting a free nutrition yarn when I got to the gym, so yarned with a lady for a while. Going to post a blog about it soon, but pretty much same stuff ya normally hear Wed 26th: No workout Thursday 27th: Free PT evaluation. Did some stuff (horizontal pull ups) on TRX which was cool. Functional exercises basically. Split squats I did for the first time, wow they feel good! Was so surprised when doing them! Friday 28th: Seated Row: 60 x 8, 100 x 8, 100 x 8, 100 x 8Shrugs: 70 x 20, 70 x 20, 90 x 20, 90 x 20Bench Press: 75 x 8, 85 x 8, 85 x 8, 85 x 8Incline Press: 75 x 8, 105 x 8, 105 x 8, 105 x 10Leg Press: 220 x 8, 280 x 12, 280 x 12, 280 x 12Leg Extension: 90 x 8, 135 x 12, 135 x 12, 150 x 12 Saturday 29th: Dip Machine: 95 x 12, 110 x 12, 110 x 12, 125 x 13Assisted Dips: 70 x 10, 55 x 12, 55 x 12, 55 x 12Skull Crushers: Bar x 8, bar+10 x 12, bar+10 x 12, bar+10 x 12Alt Lat Raises: 10 x 12, 10 x 12, 10 x 12, 10 x 12Arnold Press: 8 x 10, 8 x 25, 8 x 25, 8 x 25 Sunday 30th: Did a 22km hike, in Manning Park which is a couple hours out of Vancouver. Went as apart of a group. Me and my jogged a lot of the way back, we couldnt find our friends we got a ride with so were worried but turns out they had told people they were turning back, the message just didnt quite reach us Not too much elevation overall but the jog made it tougher. Will post the couple of pics I took below. Monday 1st: Canada Day! Lifting a beer can counts (high reps low intensity ftw!!) Tuesday 2nd: Workout and biking around trying to find a bed for sale for a couple hours.Bench Press: 35 x 8, 85 x 8, 85 x 8, 85 x 10Shrugs: 50 x 8, 90 x 20, 90 x 20, 90 x 20Alt Lat Raises: 10 x 10, 10 x 20, 10 x 20, 10 x 20Split Squats: 20 each leg no weight, and 3 sets of 20 each leg with 2 x 10lb dumbbellsSkull Crushers: Bar x 8, bar+10 x 12, bar+10 x 12, bar+10 x 12Incline Press: 60 x 8, 105 x 8, 105 x 8, 105 x 8 Wednesday 3rd: No workout thought I was moving into new place, didn't happen!

JubNZ Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks for the heads up regarding the stickied posts, the other thing you mentioned might take a little longer as I'll have to look into how I could do that. All good in the hood? No worries! All good in this hood mate, crazy busy, seems to be something happening everyday then when there isn't I just wanna chillax -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As above, everything has been hectic! Two weeks later I have finally got a bed and bedding, few nights I spent on the floor cause I'm stubborn Last 5 days (excluding today which is rest day (although did bike home from Ikea with Sheets, Duvet and pillows which would have looked ridiculous)!).Saturday: Hike out at Bowen Island (only 8km, but walking around rest of island added up) Sunday: Beach Volleyball Monday: GymIncline Press - 75x8, 105x10,105x10, 105x10Leg Press: 200x8, 280x10, 300x10, 300x10Lat Raises: 90x10 110x10, 110x10, 110x10Shrugs: 90x25, 90x25, 9x25, 90x25 Tuesday: Rugby Training, 1st one in over 7 years! Pretty much was 90 minutes of touch, but my legs are still feeling it!) Wednesday: Pitch and Putt Golf, think its the 2nd time Ive played this year. So not a lot of gym happening, but Ive decided thats cool cause apparently the winter here means lots more indoor time so I shall make the most of it! Couple photos: 1st: From the top of Grouse Mountain looking over back towards Vancouver. 2nd: A cool fallen tree trunk fallen in a lake at Bowen Island.

Still working at FedEx. Crap session today, about 15 minutes in I wasnt feeling it at all. Was a combo of a bunch of things I think.1/ Hadnt eaten much that day (was late to work so couldnt get to supermarket) so was hungry going into gym2/ Wellington got hit with a good size earthquake 30 mins before I got there so was thinking about that alot (mind wasnt on the job)3/ Minimal sleep previous night So a recipe for disaster, I did some Arnold presses, bench press and elbow rehab though so all was not lost! Happy Ive stayed over 150lb thus far, hopefully I thats some lower resistance and I dont drop below that again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
