Workout: What did you do today?

[jimmy jazz]

Push day today. Overhead barbell press, dumbbell bench press and push downs. First two supersetted with neck extensions/curls. Used to do neck extensions with a band but it looks like I'll permanently switch to using cables. Feels really good.
Also checked in on my girlfriend's training, since our schedules usually don't allow it during the week. She does an upper/lower split and did upper body today. Overhead press, barbell bench press and lat prayers. She also wants to learn pull ups and tried some band assisted ones.
I'm really proud of her, her form and relative effort are amazing.

Don't be shy with the progress pics 😯

Just messing mate.

Back and bis this evening.

Full rest day for Sunday. Going to eat some crisps and watch football. Looking forward to it.

Glad this thread is so active BTW.

When it gets to page 1,000 we are going to look like a group of chippendales.

God damnit.. being irreparably bald, I'd have to be the creepy, grinning bald guy in the back next to the Jimmy Fallon looking dude.

We have three creepy bald guys in here.

Loooool I wish!!! That bod 😍 and I'm ginge now.



Also, huge thank you Jimmy and DJ. I utilised your advice and went a 3.5km run today. Every single second was painful because I started smoking again the other day. It was so difficult so it will hopefully make it easy for me to stop after I've been to this gig tonight.

Have you thought about switching to vaping?

I have several times, I'm actually worse on vapes in the sense that I smoke them constantly. I spend more money on them and I end up smoking them so much that I can't sleep at night 😅 tried and tested unfortunately. I seem to be able to give up cigs for a good few weeks at a time but can't do that with vapes.

Really weird workout today. Did high rep squat sesh, then some dips and ring rows. Three exercises, nothing too weird, but I felt awful afterwards like.. my heart rate didn't go down as quickly as it normally does and I felt for a little while like I might puke.

This was not a particularly hard workout, but rather a short one, so something's up health wise, I think.

Worth mentioning I have been exercising less the last week due to my health failing me again, so it's probably just sickness.

But.. who's the baldest and creepiest?

Chest and tris this evening.

Bench: 110kg x 3, 3, 3

Pleased with that.

3.37km today ✅

Increasing my distance by 10% each week and going steady. 2 mid week short runs and 1 weekend "long" run. That is the goal and that's what I'm going to try to stick to.

The midweek runs are under 25mins at the moment so I have absolutely no excuse not to get out. I feel I am half out of my slump but it is still a huge effort.

Bro day today. Incline seated curls supersetted with overhead tricep extensions, then dumbbell flys supersetted with lateral raises. Everything done with maximum ROM, emphasizing the stretch. Very short workout, but quite painful in a good way.

[grindy]

I'm so glad that I taught myself to work out immediately after coming home from work, no matter how tired I feel.
Usually it really clears my head and I feel so good after it.
Pull day today. Progressing nicely on barbell rows and really enjoying doing lat prayers as a bit of a down set after that. Pull ups after that and I'm struggling to progress in reps, but that kinda makes sense because the lat prayers really stretch my lats to hell and have an overall big overlap with pull ups. Also switched from dumbbell hammer curls to cable curls and really enjoyed it.

I just did Romanian Deadlifts and curls. Had a little longer sesh yesterday with dips, rows, Push-ups  and modified Candlesticks I guess is the name.

The funk that affected me so on Monday seems to have let me go for the time being. Feels good to function again.

I'm thinking of doing interval training with a jump rope and the only thing I do t like about that idea is it's not gonna go well with me destroying my legs with DOMS doing squats 😅 so I'm gonna put the leg stuff on hold and try to run and jump a bit the coming days.

Glad you're feeling better!!

I'm feeling a bit out of mines too, ran another 3.5km in the heaviest pissing rain of my life 🥲 it was great though. I quite like running in the rain.

Nice @FETCHER. Well done 😊

I wanna start running too, in the rain or elsewhere. Most of the snow is gone now, so its finally possible without significant risk of slipping and falling.

So happy we're finally coming out of this winter.
