Wearing thermals and hot Bovril in yer water bottle?

I've never considered an iced Bovril, strangely enough.

After a bit of a workout sabbatical, I'm hoping some gym equipment arrives today so I can get the ball rolling again and get a routine on the go.

Soon as I start nightshift...

Like iced tea, it might take off in warmer climes for a select few.

Iced Bovril in a can coming to a 7/11 near you soon.

Theres already a lolly..

I bet they're good.

Foker's gonna be a tank.

I'm a bit limited here, so I got hold of a 6 day plan that only requires dumbbells. I only have 7kg dumbbells so I'm altering the plan a bit as they are a bit heavy for some bits.

The plan also asks for 4 sets of 20 reps so for week 2 I'll go 3 reps of 15 then week 4 4 reps of 15 then 4 at 20.

Or something like that.

writing it down between sets is a nice breather so I'll post each day as I go.

This set is one that I do continuously throughout the day, or whenever I got a spare 10 mins, or whenever I look at the dumbbells. It's a bit of a habit.

Thursday- Got the curl bar out of the shed and did 3 sets of 10 @20kg
Friday- Rest day
Saturday- aching like fuck and can't hold my arms straight
Sunday- still aching, dropping the weight down to a pint glass

It’s the taking part that counts.

Hoping muscle memory can remember 3 years ago

Oh fk do my shoulders ache today.

They say never skip leg day.

Well, I'm bringing leg day forward from Friday cos everything above my waist hurts like fk today. Back day can wait.

Monday - Legs

Squats - 4 sets of 10

Stationary lunges - 4 sets of 10 (each leg)

Reverse lunges - 4 sets of 10 (alt legs)

Split Lunges - 4 sets of 10 (each leg)

Hip Bridges 7kg dumbbell - 4 sets of 10

Sumo Squats 7kg dumbbells - 4 sets of 10

Calf raises - 4 sets of 10

Skipping rope - 4 x 2 mins.

I feel dizzy.

Daily. Walk from house to wat. Sit under a tree. Have a couple smokes waiting til missus finishes her budda shit. Walk back home. Total distance 1km give or take.

I've spent the last 4 days on a jackhammer knocking down brick and cement walls and bagging the debris.

Hard work especially in the sun.

Great exercise but I am finding it hard to make a fist.

^ Who are you trying to fist? And does that really count as a workout?

I bought a smartwatch today.

^ You obviously have not tried handling a jackhammer for 4 days.

The thing weighs about 10 kg to start with and the walls were double brick with solid concrete inner fill with steel rod reinforcement.

And I haven't finished yet!

Great workout though!

Easier once you get the hang of it.

I fancied a little 30km bike ride this morning but I don't have a bike and besides, I wanted to test myself.

Two hours clearing undergrowth with a machete along this 50m long wall in 35 degrees and 60% humidity did the trick. I'm knackered now.

Now I know why you are a Geologist i.e. no brains.
Doing shit like that is what they made Thai's with weed whackers for.

Biceps, Lower Abs

Hammer curls, 7kg dbs, 4 sets of 10 (each arm)

Regular curls, 7kg dbs, 4 sets of 10

Concentration curls, 7kg dbs, 4 sets of 10 (each arm)

Bicep curls, alternating arms 7kg dumbbells - 3 sets of 40 reps (20 each arm).

Abs can fk off for now because after attempting some reverse crunches I discovered I'm still very much hurting from the previous Sunday

Needed to burn some energy while Edith was doing dinner.



Tiz lovely, if possibly suicidal, doing it in the evening.
