was training today with my rugby buddy so the intensity was high. Which is also why there is a slightly different training plan than usual. He showed me a complex core/balance/flexibility exercise that we did to finish up, can't really descibe it, but it involved a mat and an exercise ball....and was extremely difficult.

Just realised though, us two eejits forgot to do incline bench! :rolleyes:

used liquid chalk for the first time today. Fantastic stuff. You put a little bit in the palm of your hand, rub it it, and in a moment it dries leaving the chalky residue behind.

I'm also impressed that you can lift with "that" music in the background, oh yeah and your numbers of course. Damn you men and your strength:p

Thankfully I had some AC/DC blasting in my ears.

Ok that's much better then. Are you right handed? You seem to lead with your right a bit more on the bench. Just an obsermenvation:D

First 10 on the bench?

Didn't realise I still did that until I saw the vid myself. I'm doing it a lot less than I used to anyway. Not too worried about it tbh.

Really frustrating. Progress has gone backwards in the last few weeks, can't put my finger on as to why. Also it seems everytime I train legs, I develop aches and pains somewhere new. I dunno. Just really annoying because legs is all I really care about these days.

Anyway:

Single-leg Leg Press
3 sets of 3 on each leg.
Did not record weight.

Are you keeping some sort of track of where it hurts and what you did afterwards? I had to do that for something like a month to see a pattern with my shoulder. My infraspinatus, supraspinatus and AC joint all kept bugging me at different times depending on what I did. I would get one fixed up only to have something else throw another part out. You'll figure it out. You mentioned before you were doing well with squats.

Thanks for the advice. I was planning on having someone take a look at my squat. I can't believe it took a month to find your shoulder issue, I just wouldnt have the patience!

I'll try and keep future rants/temper tantrums to a minimum. :rolleyes:

I have been away in London for the last few days, but I managed to find a gym that gave me a guest pass. Actually it wasn't hard at all, I was handed a flyer for the place on the street and I went in that day.

I didn't like the place at all. The gym, LA Fitness is located in Picadilly, in the basement of an office block. The people who worked there were very pushy about getting details, which of course is expected with a "free" guest pass. There were far too many fitness instructors walking around and the gym floor which was already pretty packed. The weight plates and barbells were also very strange. They were all compacted, so the bar was a lot thinner and the 20kg plates looked the same as the 10kg ones that I'm used to. Strange thing to gripe about I know, put I just found it very off-putting. I had to check afterwards if the barbells were actually 20kg and it turns out that for the bench press I was using a 12kg bar, which I suspected because of how easily the "130kg " went up!

Other than that the place worked out fine, and all it cost me was a fake name and email address.
