Thread: Log in your workouts today!

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?

Do you take weekends off?

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.

And yep, weekends off, so I'm on a five-day split.

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.

I've been on a Lower / Upper / Legs / Push / Pull hybrid program for the last six months or so which means I've gone from detesting doing legs to doing them x2 per week:

DAY: MONDAY
FRONT SQUATS
DEADLIFT
LUNGES
CALF PRESSES

DAY: TUESDAY
BENCH PRESS
BARBELL ROWS
DB PRESS
PULL UPS
TRICEPS(ROPE)
BICEP CURLS

DAY: WEDNESDAY
BARBELL GLUTE BRIDGE
LEG PRESS
LEG EXTENTSIONS
CALF RAISE
FARMERS CARRY

DAY: THURSDAY
DB OHP
DUMBBELL PRESS
FLYS
DIPS
CABLE CROSSOVER

DAY: FRIDAY
CABLE ROWS
CHIN UPS
RACK PULLS
FACE PULLS

^ just what I was angling for... Cheers

Part 1: 5km jog in 38 mins done.

Part 2: 10km round trip stroll to massage parlour and take-away restaurant.

And part 3: Afternoon Upper body gym work, coming up.

Biked 30 kms today, 50 sit ups, 100 squats.

Piece o' piss and a fine start to the week.

^ Buy some coolant you pikey fuck

I think I've got to start trying harder in the gym. I usually leave a weights session feeling a little nonplussed by the whole affair, and only get that 'I've been to the gym' feeling after sprinting 5km on the treadmill to round the session off.

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.

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.

Yeah, and though we agreed not to post the other's address, fok ya.

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..

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
