Restart

I was getting into a bit of a rut again with my workouts, so I restarted workouts and nutrition today with a few overarching goals. I need to nail down the goal specifics so I can track against them - but all in all it was a great workout today - and feeling good about the nutrition element!

Outdoor Run
6km - 32min (slow but had a massive stitch at 3km so not too bad considering!). Not an interesting route - straight down the road and back.

Chest Press
58.5kg - 8 - 10
52kg - 10 - 12

Leg Press
106.5kg - 10 - 10 - 11 - 11

Crunch
50 - 50 - 55 - 55

Chin ups
6 (!!) - 5 - 5 - 3
nb - massive improvement on previous weeks. 6 was amazing - felt really good all the way through. Second 5 set was 4 and then went straight back in anger and struggled through another.

Dumb Bell Dead lift
45kg (2 x 50lbs) - 10 - 10

Ran out of time at this point (needed to get some food on!). But a great workout.

Things to remember:
1. If I get to 10 reps, I probably could have used a heavier weight.
2. If I get to 10 - I can probably do 11 or 12 - push through, don't just stop at a round number..
3. 4 sets of reps is much better than 3 - why not 5 of heavier weights and slightly less reps?
4. Need to do some plyometrics at some point so that I don't lose any explosive power when gaining strength.
