Job and shoulder sorted, lets get back to training.

I decided to check back in on my blog, and low and behold I noticed the hit counter recording a fantastic 10,000 hits..

I was gobsmacked to say the least.

I never realised that people actually looked at the thing...

Anyway, now that I'm all settled into my new job, and my shoulder injury is sorted (fingers crossed) I've decided to start using my blog again as a sorce of motivation, encourgement and a means of recording progress.

The idea of a blog is for others to read (otherwise you could just write it out in a diary) but I never realised how much this blog motivated me.

Anyway, I've decided to rework my workout based on a few comments left about lack of lower body work. Its something that needs addressing, so my workout it going to get a makeover. I will post soon, and if anyway have comments, positive or negative (it's all good) I would love to hear them.

So, I have been wondering about my training.

So, I have been wondering about my training.

I think I am going to have to start a focused training plan. Every now and again I tend to lose sight of my goals and objectives, and need reigning back in.

This is one of those times.

I am also going to make an effort to record my lifts, and progress. I tend to find that I forget what I can lift, and as a result, my progress can stall.
I might be lifting the same weight week in week out, and sometimes I have actually dropped weight because I have forgotten what I lifted before.

I want to make a accurate note, this is what I will work on this week.

I have this so far,

Key
XK, e.g. 15k is the weight in Kilograms.
(X, X, X, X, X) Is the amount of sets, and the reps within each set E.g. (8, 8, 8, 8, 8) Is 5 sets, of eight reps per set.
Xneg = Negative phase only. E.g. (5neg, 5neg) would be 2 sets, with 5 negative repetitions.
½ = Half the movement only. E.g. (3, 1(3 ½ ), 1 (2 ½ )) would be 3 reps, followed by 1 rep and 3 half reps followed by 1 rep and 2 half reps.

Secs = How many seconds I can hold for e.g. 10secs.

So, My blog has been Flagged for objectional content!
I guess it must be all the fatties getting upset... So, I guess I am going to have to change the name of my Blog, to Gymnastic Inspired Training for Overweight/People who can't stop eating/bloaters!

But, it just doesn't have the same ring to it! :(
