    mate, don't even think about it until you hit enzed again I reckon - enjoy your time away, bring home the excess baggage, and then shed it...

    Will be my first time in Dubai, really looking forward to it. Im assuming the Novatel will have some sort of gym I can indulge myself in.

    A couple of goals have sprung to mind overnight:<br />
    <br />

    1. Initially to reduce bodyfat by 10% which would be 113.6 - 11.36 kgs. So the goal would be to hit 102.24 within 12 weeks.<br />
    2. To deadlift 2.5 X my body weight within 24 weeks. <br />
      <br />
      I think if I concentrate on my fitness & conditioning as opposed to fat loss I should be able to reach both goals.

    Gym Thursday 60 mins 4pm-5pm<br />
    <br />
    THE BEAR: 7x7 @50kgs (3 mins between sets)<br />
    <br />
    Deep Front Squat 10 sets X 5 reps @60<br />
    <br />
    Chins 5 sets x 5 reps<br />
    <br />
    First crack at the Bear. I fought the Bear...and the bear won. Was pissing sweat after warmup and first set. Because of front rowers lack of flexibility I struggled to do proper front squat after the clean so I did front squat again afterwards. What a workout. Will keep this one up for sure. Want to cut down rest time and perform all sets at 60.

    The only thing that worries me about the Bear is overuse of the Rotator Cuff. 49 cleans in one session plus bringing the bar down into the back squat position from a press that many times has potential for inpingement.

    harden up.<br />
    <br />
    My left shoulder is screwed and has been fine though the 4 sessions or so that I have done. certainly don't get too macho with the weights, and once a week at the moment is doing the job sweet.

    Ive done a variation of that before. Did it the first time down Ta$man. They suck. Did power clean - front squat - push press - back squat - bent over row. Fun times

    certainly a lung busting mental exercise, as well as the all over body bash!
