Right then folks, Ive no doubt loads of you have made new years promises saying Ill get fitter and what not.
This is it.. im determined to follow at least a sort of daily training ritual.
Im purely using dumbells for mine, but just completed a session and woo! feel good!
The last few reps of the last set were murderous, my sister wondered what the hell I was doing in my room with all the huffing puffing and grunting.. I think the last rep on my left arm was something like "AAAHHHHHHHH TWEEEELLLLVVVEEEEEE... DONT DROP DONT DROP..AAAHHHHHHHHHHH DOWN.. WOO!" lol (yes yes.. I talk myself through it).
So this is my thread that Ill keep spamming in because I want to keep doing this. If I miss a day then Ill feel guilty from you denying you lot the pleasure of my stuffs.
PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW WHAT I PUT HERE AS IM DOING THIS OFF MY OWN BACK, I DONT WANT YOU GETTING INJURED FROM WHAT I SAY SO SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE BEFOREHAND.Current regime takes about 25 minutes and involves:
---Stretches---
Hold for 10 seconds, and repeat over and over for 5ish minutes until happy.
Place one arm in the air, reach far over as possible keeping your arm straight and without bending your back.
Place both arms behind back, clasp hands, use one arm to "stretch" gently the other arm pulling it out and elbows inwards.
Place one arm across your chest, use the other arm bent to pull the arm inward until you feel it stretch
Place one arm bent reaching down your back (over your head), use the other arm to gently push on the elbow until you feel the stretch.
Training
---3 sets of each unless specified---
Right Arm: 10 arm curls bar parallel to body
Left Arm: 12 arm curls bar parallel to body
Right Arm: 10 lean over one arm row
Left Arm: 12 lean over one arm row
Right Arm: 10 overhead lifts
Left Arm: 12 overhead lifts
---1 set as cool down---
Right Arm: 10 arm curls bar perpendicular to body
Left Arm: 12 arm curls bar perpendicular to body
Ive no idea what the real name for these things are but the overhead lifts I could feel working on me as I did them, my triceps? are burning now from doing 30 of those babies.
Why the offset number of reps? Because my right arm when tensed is quite a muscley thing
my left arm however is all jiggly and not good, so its a sort of effort to bring it into line. Seems to work as 10 is a killer, doing 12 and it burns.
Im not going to say the weight im using as im ashamed of it
lol.. its so ickle, its rediculous but im following my instincts, sure I can do 1 set of 10 with full weights, but I reckon 3 sets of 10 with a 3rd of the weights is better imo.
So yes.. stay tuned for more M3ta7h3ad fitness calamity.
Also feel free to use this thread for your own benefit, dont let me be the only one doing this. Itll help me no end if someone joins in in this malarky. At least then come new years with the "how did your resolution go" threads we can then stand up with pride and say "yeah... we tried it".
Cyclists... if your training.. shove your training things in ere!
post about it, rant about it.. its all good, heck even use it as a record for your personal bests.
