Just for someone watching there's no doubt it's hardcore, quite amusing for me mind since I'm not the one doing it.

At the moment I'm doing a 5x5 programme that Will suggested, nothing very impressive in weight terms but I'm just trying to get the form right first and then I should be able to up the weights safely. I'm enjoying being back in the gym regularly though and having a proper focus this time - slightly missing the badminton and climbing that I used to do but I'm sure I can sort them out at some point.

This last week I've done nothing but walk. Discovered I need to spend more time on the stepper (next holiday - Holland

) but semi pleased with my stamina (why is it walking on marble kills my feet/legs more than cobbles?)

Of course this means my first visit back to the gym in days will be my kickboxing class - I'm going to die!!!

Well I've been to see the Nutritionist and got my diet all sorted - going to drop more fat and then going on a lean bulk in preparation for next year.

Going to be sticking to 4x 45mins morning cardio as well as one HIIT session a week.

I'm also going to be doing a 4 way weights split with volooooome training .. 50 sets a session ARGH !!

Volume training rocks! I'm in constant pain, it's great!

50 sets or 50 reps?!

Piggymon · 28-07-2009, 07:15

I'm sure he said 50 sets, I'm hoping I misheard him

Will · 28-07-2009, 08:30

Good luck if not!

Series of stretches (focusing in the Achilles tendon which is crazy tight), then 10 minutes on an exercise bike, starting slowly, to warm up.

3 sets of all of these, #s are grouped together, going from one to the next with a short break between.

#15xSeated Row, 60lbs
#15xPress Ups

15xLeg Extensions, 60lbs
15xSquats - 80lbs

#1 minute isometric for lower back, 15lbs. (arms out stretched holding pulley line supporting weight, standing sideways to weight, repeat for both sides)
#1 minute plank
#15 sit ups

15x 50lb barbell lifts (from knees to waist, using only lower back muscles)
15x Weight assisted pull ups 125lbs
15x Weight assisted dips 125lbs

Usually fit in a few sessions on shoulder/arms machines whilst I'm waiting for equipment to be free.

Lana noticed yesterday, I've actually got triceps now!

After looking at some recently taken pictures of me I've noticed that I'm more of a fatty than I thought.

Unfortunately I can't really afford a gym membership

So I was wondering if any of you wonderful fit type peeps could give me an idea of some things I could do at home that would help me along to some sort of fitness and some muscles too if that's possible with this withered old specimen

Many thanks in advance for any help offered.
