Not the hardest of days but enjoying the leg sessions. Really worked my tale off today and was close to being sick. Core really starting to take some shape and went up in weight with the windmills. Short and sweet today.

Day 22
The final week. Bring it on. Feeling great today so was looking forward to my workout. Did not do any HIIT as I had not hit a plateau with the weight loss and was aiming for some muscle mass.
So it was chest and biceps to start with. Just like the last time I slowed my tempo down but also my weight went up which was nice to see again. The push ups are getting easier every time but its my triceps that kill more than anything. The not so nice thing was that I knew I had to do triceps next. My biceps are stronger and got through 120 reps today of them. I was able to do them all without dropping the weight down which was another good sign.
So onto the triceps and core. There were 120 reps of triceps to do. My arms were huge after all those. The core exercises are challenging as ever and never seem to get any easier. But can see the effects of doing them.
Great day today. Got it all done and got paid for completing everything. Wonder what tomorrow is going to be.
Until next time…

Day 21
Today was not a very good day. I just was not in the right frame of mind. Will not go into why…. I really struggled. I will right today off as a bad day and move on with things.
Sorry to say but I did not complete everything that was asked of me today in the workout. Saying that it was only the core section that was not completed. I have let myself down to get into that frame of mind but will pick myself up for tomorrow and work twice as hard.
Until next time….

Day 20
Really enjoyed my legs session today. I trained at a different gym so that also made a difference. I know I am going to feel the effects of it tomorrow.
Only 24 sets today compared to the last couple of days so flew through it. I have been doing squats on the Smith machine which I know is not the best but got to make do with what I got. Today I had a squat rack and I tell you what it made a huge difference. Realised how much stronger my legs are and may even think about trying to get to this gym a bit more just for a change of scenery. It was also very good as got a few enquiring looks from the members. Might even start wearing a T-shirt with my own advertising on it…hmmm Good idea!!
Back to my session….
At the end of any good legs session your legs feel like jelly which has become a usual thing for me on these days. I had a grimace on my face while doing the squat jumps but got through them.
Another day all done!!!!
It is been a journey so far and its coming up to the last week. I am pretty sure this is where its going to get a little harder. I am still trying to get the photos up but its just not happening for me with that right now. Just to let you know I can see the changes from the last set of photos I took.
Until next time….

Day 19
Ok that was another hard day and another 2hrs in the gym. A bit of a pattern going on here with the extra long workouts. Thank God for the rest day yesterday. Wonder if we have another one tomorrow. Will have to wait and see. I bet there is not though.
Right so here is the session.
Chest and biceps to start off with. I dropped my weight slightly today and also slowed the reps down drastically. Boy that made a huge difference. As you guessed it made it harder. Don’t know why I keep making it harder when it is hard enough. Socker for punishment I guess. When I got to the push ups I banged them out…..well the first set at least. The others were good with a lot less rest in between so that was a good sign. Felt strong and ready for the next set of exercises
Next was shoulders and core. Had to drop the weights on the shoulder exercises as I was struggling with the weights I usually do. Got through it as usual with a grimace on my face. I am finding the core exercise a bit easy so will have to up it the next time I do core.
Another challenging day with 60 sets all done and countless reps. Would be interesting how many reps I have done. Too many to add up.
Wonder what day 20 is going to be. Due for some legs….
Until next time…..
