Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Aw man, cold foods good too though... I suppose... :p

Had a killer session today! Although I'm not entirely impressed with the weight, it's been a while since I've done big multi joint weight exercises like these so it's okay ahha.

Squats! No belt
60Kg x 8 reps
60Kg x 8 reps
80Kg x 8 reps
80Kg x 6 reps, just about managed this!
50Kg x 12 reps... Paaaaaiiiin

Barbell bench press!
50Kg x 10 reps
50Kg x 10 reps
60Kg x 10 reps
60Kg x 10 reps just about
50Kg x 10 reps, I wanted to go to failure but without a spotter I convinced myself not to.

Then a bunch of different exercises to failure

Calf raises- 50Kg x 25 reps

Ab crunches with 10Kg plate x 30 reps

Hanging leg raises x 15 reps

Dips x 20 reps

Skull crushers- 20Kg x 15 reps

Tricep kickbacks- 10Kg x 15 reps each arm

I'll likely make my workouts like this from now on, really enjoyed it

I like the enthusiasm buddy! Looks like you don't want to be able to use your arms after all that tricep work! hahaha Nice work on the squats as well. Hope you're having a good weekend mate - are you at the pub?

I had a training induction kind of day at the tree climbing place... Didn't go well.. Wasn't for me... I've been bummed out about it all day and I think I just need to go workout and forget about it.

What happened mate? Get up too high and freak a bit? Heights never were my thing. Do some deadlifts, and you'll feel better haha!

Yeah sort of :/ this oak tree was at least 80 foot tall, but it was the whole atmosphere of the place I just didn't feel comfortable it was a hell of a lot of knots tying which I just couldn't figure out urgh.. I just broke down a bit... Spoke to the guy that ran it and told him it just wasn't for me and that I was sorry for wasting his time :/ wandered off down the beach for a half hour to try and clear my head and waiting for the other half to pick me up.
Trained when I got home and it went average ahha, I'm finding myself to get out of breath real quick, especially on the big exercises, but anyways this is what I did

Deadlifts
60Kg x 10 reps
60Kg x 10 reps was like deadlifting a feather
95Kg x 10 reps
95Kg x 10 reps. Super easy still! Although I'm thinking of lowering the reps to 4-6 and upping the weight a fair bit

Dumbbell rows
25Kg x 10 reps each arm
25Kg x 10 reps each arm

One set of chin ups to failure x 8 reps! Not bad!...

Aussies to failure x 21 reps!

Barbell bicep curls 20Kg
x 12 reps
X 12 reps
X 12 reps

Weight plate shrugs, 20 kg each arm,
To failure
X 25 reps
X 24 reps
X 20 reps

It doesn't seem like much now I've written it down.. Haha

Bummer to hear about that mate, but at least you found out now rather than further down the track aye.

Yeah you're right, would have gotten real dangerous if I had carried on man ahha the guy who runs the place is a Kiwi btw

Gotta watch out for those Kiwi's, so I've heard! No way in hell would I climb up 80' on a tree with only a rope haha!

Haha those kiwis!
Training was great this morning! I feel really energised today too and have had a couple of great nights sleep!
I'm a little bit disappointed in my overhead strength but I'm gonna blame that on fatigued triceps

Barbell bench press

Then some ab crunches and leg raises to failure, didn't count reps ahha

I like my squats set out this way, it will allow me to progress slowly without stooling all the time!

Oh and unrelated to training.. I have a job interview on Monday for the butterfly keeper job!

You shit yourself when you squat ??!!

Hahahaahahahahaha! Fuck! I should have wording that differently.. But you know what they say.. If you want to live dangerously, squat and deadlift when you need to poop!'

Successful Easter!

Thinking of training with some deadlifts shortly, pre workout chocolates?
