Been a bit sore last few days and its a weird pain, like a nerve pain running from my shoulders down my arms.<br />
<br />
Looks like I may have a shoulder impingment so off the bench press for a while and will be seeing my PT tomorrow to go through some exercises and stretchs to try sort it out. -
Good stretching session this morning. Got a few new exercises to include tomorrow rather then bench and already feeling a bit less tight in the chest and shoulders.<br />
<br />
Also had an awesome abs session today - only 12mins in total but only about 90 seconds rest throughout. Hard work! -
Been a slow week.<br />
<br />
Managed to fracture two ribs last sunday so still a bit tender. Tried to do a spin class on monday but found it pretty hard going on the sprints. Hills fine.<br />
<br />
Went in to the actual gym for the first time all week today and did 3 sets of light squats with little discomfort and some shoulder and biceps work. Was super keen for deadlifts as havn't done any for about 10 days but there was no way I could even get to start position. No abs work obviously!<br />
<br />
Gonna see how it all feels on Tues eitherwise may skip again -
nice work - ribs must be getting better! that wouldn't have been fun if they were still causing you grief!!! and followed by spin no less.<br />
<br />
When you are injured or unwell it always feels good to get some sort of workout done - at least you can kind of maintain progress rather than go backwards. -

Been a funny couple of weeks with heaps of work on so only have had time for 2 weight sessions a week (thurs and sat) and a spin session on tuesdays. <br />
<br />
This has meant that for my 2 weight sessions I haven't really been able to do much of a split and instead had to revert to a full day type routine. So squats, deadlifts, bench, overhead press, some row, pullups, chinups and situps. Plus have chucked in the odd biceps day one a week, triceps on the other . Sometimes add in 3 supersets of a couple of additional leg exercises too.<br />
<br />
Seems to be working okay as feeling stronger and continuing to push myself BUT my body weight has dropped to just over 82kg and wife said am looking leaner in the gut section. Body is feeling good though. No injuries.<br />
<br />
Am away down the mt for a few days later this week so will be working out in the hotel gym again. Always a bit of a laugh! -
Decided I have had enough of squatting and deadlifting in runners and I note my gym has a sign saying 'no bare feet' so picked up some fake chuck taylors from the warehouse today for $17. Been wearing them with my suit to wear em in. Feel good and looking forwarding to trying the flat soles in the gym.

I see a number of guys lifting in flats - one dude even uses those barefoot shoe thingies. I imagine it'd be good for your form - especially as you want to drive through your heels on squats and DLs.
-
Well didnt end up working out weds through sat as I was feeling pies - minor bout of man flu but shaking it now and getting back in to things.<br />
<br />
Did first workout on sunday arvo in the new shoes and yep a noticeable difference. Felt good. More stable, more comfortable. No complaints so wont be going back.<br />
<br />
Skipped spin this morning as I am still not feeling great in the early AM but gonna bowl in there this arvo and shift some tin. -
Been a good week of it and really liking the new shoes.<br />
<br />
In there this arvo for a heavy legs session which went well. <br />
<br />
I've lost a few kg over the last couple of weeks and weighin in now about 82kg. Think its mainly fat tho that has come off as had a couple of comments from family I hadnt seen for a month or so on how lean I was looking which is a good sign as not really trying to get massive, just stronger, fitter and looking a lot better.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to the week ahead. May try get an extra workout in there too if I get the chance
