Tuesday Gym

Didn't have a lot of motivation last night, but still managed to make it to the gym and have a good workout. I completed the deadlifts after the leg press, so had very little energy to do more than 11!


Bench Press Weight 55kg 50kg 50kg 50kg
Bench Press Reps 4 7 5 5
Dumbbell Deadlift Weight 60kg 60kg 60kg 60kg
Dumbbell Deadlift Reps 11 11 11 8
Leg Press Weight 79kg 86kg 86kg 86kg
Leg Press Reps 11 12 9 8
Lat Pull Down Weight 70kg 70kg 70kg 70kg
Lat Pull Down Reps 8 7 6 4
Seated V Sit up Reps 54 50


There is a new gym opening up in Kilburn which is close and looks good & cheap. Once back from the states in March, I'll sign up, so I can deadlift heavier weights and do proper squats, rather than just using the leg press machine.

Still looking for a good swimming pool nearby that doesn't cost a fortune, plus trying to book a squash court can be a nightmare!

Running time

Ran home from work, and bumped into W at the station, so walked and talked for a bit before carrying on. Time therefore not relevant! 7.5km, felt ok!

Update

Friday to Sunday evening was a weekend away at Center Parcs. The beauty of going there means rather than just eating and drinking during the weekend, I played squash, went for a walk, went to boxercise, went bowling (yes I got a turkey) and went swimming - along with eating healthily all weekend.

Nice and restful!

Now back to running and gym time!
