Cheers for the encouragement mate.
Tuesday - Legs
Squats, 8-12 Reps, 3 Sets
Still Leg Dead lift, 6-10 Reps, 2-3 Sets.
Leg Extensions, 6-10, 2-3 Sets.
I was unfortunately feeling sick today, I think im coming down with the flew or something
. So i have only done 3 exercises on the legs unfortunately today...
So i will take my rest day tomorrow and try to recover from this and come back stronger on Thursday. If im feeling a bit better tomorrow i may throw some ab exercises into the rest day to make up for today.
If anyone knows of anymore exercises i could add to my legs day on Tuesday please let me know
. As nearly all my equipment has changed and not much leg equipment, so if anyone has any exercises that i can perform on my equipment please give me a post. Cheers
Notes:
- Take time to recover when sick..
Wednesday: Rest Day
Wednesday is my recovery day and because i am still quite sick at the moment i thought this day would be very useful to recover from the sickness. It did not help much at all...
Thursday: Shoulders / Traps
Note:
Unfortunately i will not be doing today's routine...Im getting more sick every day it feels like, and i feel the best thing to do is keep away from my routine for the time being. I thought it was a simple flew at the start but it seems its worse then that, Im getting more sick everyday it feels like and i may not even be able to do tomorrows routine either...I might just go to the doctors today or tomorrow if it gets any worse. For the time being all i can do is rest and see what happens.

Fridays Routine - Back / Biceps / Forearms
Thought i may aswell inform you guys that i am not going to do Friday's session either, Feel like im getting better but i am skipping today's session also just to be on the safe side.
If i keep on improving like i am at the moment i should be able to pick back up on my routine at the start on either Sunday cardio day or Monday.
Hope to give more updates then! Cheers.

Alright mate hows it going..
Workouts look ok, do you mind posting your acutal lifts? As in weight. Good thing about this is that you can see improvements etc throughout your training.
Good luck with your goals
Hello, Well that's the thing i was aiming to post the actual weights been lifted so i can see the improvements but half my weights are in LBS and the other half in KG so it gets quite confusing and takes a bit of time when working out, So i usually skip recording how much weight was being repped and just tend to go with something that feels around the right weight as last time and may up it a bit.
But i dont know how people can record the actual weight being used...because when im working out i hardly think of recording that kind of stuff? Any pointers.
I think you DEFINATELY should record your weight. Its good to see progression.
Heres a few conversions so you can work it out (providing you want to)
KGs to LBS
1 KG = 2.2lbs
5 KG = 11lbs
10 KG = 22lbs
20 KG = 44lbs
So its simple enough to workout the weight being used. I always write down my lifts in lbs on here because thats what the majority work in. Even though in England people work in KGs most of the time.

Do you record this during a workout or before?
And also im not sure if im doing the tricep press downs right...It was Monday just past when i done them last and i felt like i was using more of my shoulders to try get it down would this be due to having to much weight on?
- Also if i take time out of my workouts to write down the weights i usually take forever to get back into the sets, I usually try and just rest for more and more & eventually it gets hard to get back into the sets.
I will have to find a solution to record the weights though i only have brief notes on the weights being used at the moment.

Im back!
Believe it or not but im feeling great. I was still feeling pretty crap on saturday, and sunday morning but luckily got alot better throughout sunday.
I was having doubts about how i was going to go in to days routine since i have been quite sick but it turned out great and im ready to smash it this week!
And to NBS i recorded a few weights taken.
Monday - Chest / Triceps
Chest Press with Dumbbells - 6-10 Reps, 3 Sets. 9.08KG Each Arm
Dips - To Failure, 2-3 Sets. (2 Sets Today...Averaging Around 40-50 Reps each set.)
Chest Press (Station - Side 2) 6-10 Reps, 2 Sets. 27.27KG
Tricep Pressdown (Station) 6-10 Reps, 2 Sets today. 1x 18.18KG 1X 22.73KG
Notes:
- Go nice and light when coming back from recovery.
- Pick the pace up through the week.

Thanks mate. I never knew how much sickness can slow you down
. I hope i keep recovering from this bug and stay strong for a long time now.Will update tomorrow!
Cheers
About recording the weight you lift man, cant you just remember it and then when your on here post it up? Thats what i do and a lot of other people.
Anyway its upto you
Na i need to right it down since i have to work out what i actually done for each exercise since half the weights are KG and LBS..once i remember what each weight i am it will be okay then when i increase it a little i will be able to keep track!
Thursdays results will be posted later tonight.
Cheers
