My Own Weights & Measures Table

I took the table of my weight measurements using the Tanita composite scales into the gym today to show the instructor who measured me. The most interesting thing about these results is how much they differ during the day and from day to day even though I have been measuring myself nearly every morning as…

Six Pack!

I noticed a six pack coming back when getting out of the shower today. I have similar body fat % as previous recordings so no change there. So what has changed? Are the body composition scales may not be telling the full story? I have not been doing any abdominal work for 5-6 weeks so…

Dynamic Shoulder Stretching

I also tried some dynamic shoulder stretching of shoulder area in kitchen archway and found good results sliding my hands up and down on the archway while stretching out the pecs. I felt a positive effect from this that was much better than just standing in the arch and stretching. Care must be taken to…

A Change From The Old Routine

I have not trained today due to tiredness and having so much to do including this website. I have been taking note of these things over the last few days and perhaps trying to do the 4 day split or double split every 4 days is a little out of my league. It took me…

Weights & Measures

After doing a calf workout this morning one of the instructors in the gym kindly weighed and measured me. This is the first time I have ever had this done. The measurements were as follows: Weight 13st 7lb Chest 43″ Waist 34.7″  ? Arms (both) 14″ Legs (both) 23″ Hips 41″ Calf’s (both) 15″ Measurements…

Inner Thigh Pain Test

Carried out the deep pause squat with breathing in the hole today and also did Bulgarian split squats and lunges. I pushed the boundaries a little bit to test the inner thing strength by doing dynamic split squats and lunges holding 1.25kg plates in each hand and touching just in front of my forward foot….

Video Content in ‘The Gym’

I emailed ‘The Gym’ where I train this evening to see if I could use their premises for video content regarding this website. It will be difficult due to the amount of background noise and the number of people who will be there in the day so maybe videoing early morning might be the best…

Tightness around upper pec major

Had tightness around upper pec major today that I noticed around 4pm. This came on very quickly and was uncomfortable while driving. Possibly due to bat-wings having an effect on this area that is known to be tight? How could this be as I never worked my chest? Rubber balled pec and managed to drag…

Bat-wings!

Done back workout at 9pm with bent over rows only. Then did parallel bat-wings on bench for scapula. Agreed with gym instructors that one of them would take measurements every three weeks for me to monitor my progress.
