The results of my most recent Body Composition Analysis, about 3 weeks ago (gym was busy this morning so didn't want to ask Cat for another one so soon). Biggest problem I had today was counting reps - when I'm doing something like a bench press over 4 seconds, I sometimes got either the third or fourth rep counted as something else as I'm counting the 4 seconds. But aside from that, pretty good.
Need to think of a way of doing super sets with access to only one barbell when I need a heavier weight on one exercise - there is a multigym next to the bench which I may use - I like using the free weights though as you can feel yourself stabilising the bar which I like to think of as a free bonus workout for my core :)
Strangely nice to feel really limited in one move - I was doing a lot of reps of a shoulder exercise (lateral raises) and on the second set I had to stop for a second about 3/4 through, and that was only using 2.5kg weights!
Need to get more punctual on my 60seconds rest periods, going to look for a timer app that lasts for a minute, beeps then resets so I can just hit 'go' again at the start of my next rest period.
Found it strange doing upper body only - every time before I've done free weights they've been whole body workouts, but about halfway through it felt normal. Note to self, wear tracksuit bottoms next time doing an upper body only session!
Looking at my notes I wrote as soon as I could after finishing - took me a few minutes to be able to stop my arms shaking and start drinking my shake! 'Going to feel this in the morning' and 'arms completely shot to bits' are the two parts I can make out clearly. So all good.
Still managing to keep on top of my food - had a massive portion of turkey, vegetable and mixed bean curry I made the other day (cooked in Coconut oil as well ;) topped with mixed seeds and flax, on brown rice. That was about two hours ago so I'm due another meal now and then probably bed by 8pm again. Giving up everything hasn't bothered me so far but I was predominantly gluten free before, and the only dairy I took was the odd Cappucino. Missing coffee only when I smell others having it - going to the pub after work and having a pint of soda water instead of beer didn't bother me in the slightest.
One thing I did find strange walking home - really found myself craving going for a run! Presume this is part of doing a big workout first thing (9am) in the morning - my brain wanting more of that Endorphin rush or something similar - after about 20 minutes it passed and all I wanted was a hot bath and cup of tea!
That will probably do for today - tomorrow is a Leg and Lat day (hopefully squats won't hurt too much thanks to kettlebell training, albeit at a much lighter weight!)
