Fucking pissing down in Don Muang, looks I wont get out tonight..
I clocked 19,000 steps on Saturday - followed by an eat all you can BBQ buffet washed down with 3 pints of Asahi.
Squats; deadlift; lunges; and calf presses on the menu this morning before breakfast.
Can barely walk straight at the minute but feeling good... and bloody hungry.
How much weight do you use doing those?
Not a lot currently, still rehabbing me neck/arm...
Squats 80kg (front, can't do rear because pressure on my neck);
deadlift 130kg;
lunges 60 kg;
calf presses 140kg
Impressive, never thought of front squats... Or starting week off on legs
Do you take weekends off?
I've gotta start tailoring my workouts now and get away from doing upper body and legs days to chest days , back days and arm days. Is that right? :)
What are your days made up of?
I initially started doing legs first up because I hated it so wanted to get it out of the way but then I randomly just started enjoying it for whatever reason.Quote:

Not necessarily, do you mean going to a body-part split (e.g. arm day, back day etc.)? If so then I wouldn't recommend it. You'd be better off sticking to an upper / lower or push / pull type split and hitting each muscle group 2x per week.Quote:

Piece o' piss and a fine start to the week. :yup:
^ Buy some coolant you pikey fuck:)
It's a bit hit 'n miss for me to be honest.
Some days I feel like I'm just going through the motions and achieving 5/8ths of fock all, others like I'm on a crack-cocaine-fueled rampage, the weights are nothing, and I'm tearing shit up. :D
You're obviously doing it wrong.
Get some of this down you...
I sent some up to Lulu and he's been pushing his car to the garage 10kms away and back everyday by the look of it.

You're all welcome round anytime. We are all family here... Anyone for upside down meringue?
Front squats really help building up your quads, and improve gains for normal squats I found. Something I've only just starting doing only recently.
I do weights 3 times week right now, seems enough for me personally. I'd be farked trying to do Ants' 5 x week schedule, I think.
Think I do enough leg work with these bloody walks.
Stopped taking creatine on Saturday. Gonna cycle a month off and on
I haven't been à many prick today :)

Those deadlifts are taking their toll
Its all good mate. Your efforts have made me decide to change the way I exercise. I started to get in better shape and not have had two or three beers by 630. But only walking then jogging. I knew if I stopped even one day it would be over.
Not saying do that, but try to set a goal of two weeks everyday and push yourself. You may get addicted when you start to see the mental results and you are just up. Changed my perspective on Thailand a lot. Dont really give a shit now.
But starting Monday I am going to do the same 6.5 kilometers at dawn, but in the evening I will run up to the fitness room we have here and use the machines and weights 30 to 40 minutes a day as well. Then walk home the long way. I got legs muscles like a Georgetown pedicab driver now..Time to start above the legs.
Mornings sport podcasts evenings music I love on Spotify, adds to the fun..:)
:smileylaughing:
You should do well at deadlifting and squats then,:) go slowly on the weights, you'll notice a big difference in your physique in a few weeks if you stick at it. You don't have to do that much either. Monday, Weds and Fridays. Rest days are when you build muscle.
You are right about the addictive Ness. I walked into Pattaya again today. Great walking past the massage girls with the earplugs in:)
Make sure you've got the deadlift technique dialled - herniated discs are not fun.
120 miles in the South Downs bathed in beautiful sunshine yesterday.
There's something about the Downs's genteel, neatly-nibbled humps that appeal so much more than the Lakes, the Dales, or even the Alps - these are stunning mountain ranges; the Downs is beautiful.
