The ex is dating a 'roid muscle bound f*cktard who now is on dialysis due to screwed kidneys.

I'm more than happy with my natural relaxed look (lol)

I got my resting heart rate to sub 50 a while back when I was doing a lot of HITT/Circuit training. Not tested it recently but I reckon it's mid 50s

That's quite impressively low, no matter hour much I train, my RHR has never gone below 60. I haven't checked properly in ages

Did chest and arms. My chest felt alright until I did incline dumb bell press then Monday's injuries showed themselves.

Otherwise all good.

When I was full on with running my waking HR was always below 50, best was 42.

Mild moving and HR was never over 60.

Now my resting is 60-65. (facepalm)

Well after football this saturday it's clear that my training is helping my fitness. I wasn't out of breath once, the closest was after an 80yard sprint with the ball but I still recovered in less than 20 seconds.

Only thing struggling with fitness was the muscle in my legs, probably not helped by a small calorie intake prior to the match that day.

I've changed the treadmill sprints to include a 10% incline at 20km/h. Been doing 30s on and using every other minute as my marker to start the sprint. I nearly threw up 3 times thursday just gone

I keep saying I need to do more cardio

I never do it though.

Do HIIT like I am, more effective for cardio in its truest form (heart fitness).

As for "cardio" I need to do more also because my legs just can't cope with the long distance stuff

we've got our next grading in two weeks so it's practice for that. I've got my pattern down but for unknown reasons I can't seem to get the line work sorted. I'm sure it'll be alright on the day

Leg day last night, had to wait 20 minutes for some guy to gee himself up enough to attempt 160kg squat. He barely lifted it off the rack before putting it back then attempting 140kg which he (poorly) managed to do.

I did 8 sets of squats using a block beneath my ass as a depth measure to ensure I got just past 90 degrees starting from a warm up set of 60kg, 100kg, 140kg then dropped to 120kg. I then did 100, 100, 80, 60 on speed work except this time I literally jumped with the bar. Ouch.

Single leg weight squats after and then some pull-up crunches - effing love those!!

I don't push it on squats, I'm too worried about failing with them and crashing a loaded bar

So long as you have the guards in place you can't really go wrong - just need help lifting the thing back on unless you want to unload it, move it then load it again

Back and shoulders. Failed on a couple of exercises but I have gone up 5kg on most things.

10 mile cross country race this morning, bloody freezing but a great route, apart from the hills that is, 670 feet elevation gain!

Managed 1:46 which isn't bad as I haven't run over 5 miles for a couple of months, and as previously mentioned it was quite hilly..... Cool, and appropriate bling though.

That can't be pleasant. Hopefully it's a quick recovery.

Last lesson before Saturday's grading. I know most of it. I think.
