About Me

My photo
I always used to be the skinny guy at school. Ate bucket loads of junk but never put on a pound. I stand 5 foot 8 inches tall and back then used to weigh around 10 and a half stone. Nearly 10 years and 2 stone later with a lifestyle as a classic couch potato I feel that it is time to do something. I have no fitness or nutritional qualification but with a little research and some help from my friends I hope to achieve some real results. This blog will track my results. I hope you find this informative and useful.

Thrashing

So back to the routine with a thrashing. I made sure that after a few consecutive rest days I came back with a boom and judging how I feel today, yesterdays session was fantastic. I reversed my routine so this time I started with my triceps followed by biceps, shoulders, back and finally chest. I complemented that with an abs workout today and my upper body is feeling tired but all the better for getting off my lasy butt and outting in the hard work.

I did a standard workout. 3 sets of 10 reps or untill failure on the last set so that I knew I had effectively worked out all groups of muscles. I am enjoying new exerises that I have only started since doing this such as the military press. If I can maintain this intensity this week I will measure myself at the start of next week to establish how my body develops over time.

The diet is going ok at the moment. It is a struggle to consume the required calories and water as I am not used to taking on board so much. Again what I will look at in future posts is my average day food intake and work out the exact calorie and water intake.

For now I am going to put my feet up, watch the football and hope that when it is over my muscles are not too battered otherwis I might have to stay on the sofa for the whole night!!!
