Just Joined "16 Weeks To Six Pack Abs Challenge" 2008-06-08 00:30:15 This being my first ever blog post, I figure I better give a bit of background as to how I got here.Since my Uni days I've trained at various gyms on and off (mostly off!). The longest solid period of weight training I've achieved is about 3 months, but that was a few years ago. I always seem to find a good excuse to break my training cycle. Once I miss one weight session it gets easier to miss th Read more:Challenge

And so it begins... with a leg workout 2008-06-10 02:34:24 Day 1 of my challenge (Monday) came and went with 0% workout effort spent. It was a public holiday here in Australia, so I did what every other Australian does on a public holiday - I took the day off!I did, however, spend some time preparing my workout program for the next 4 weeks, so my fingers got a good workout. As I mentioned in my last post I've decided to follow an intermediate level Muscle
Pecs, Lats, Delts and Biceps Workout Day 2008-06-11 03:12:20 It's the third day into the challenge and my second workout day for the week. I figure that I'll add some counters to each post so I can keep track of exactly where I'm at. So here are today's counters:Day: 3Days until 30: 102Today's session was another quick one with 6 exercises in total executed in pairs as supersets. Supersets do seem to make a workout go faster making it a more efficient use o Read more:Workout
First Rest Day, ahhh... 2008-06-12 04:15:50 Day: 4Days until 30: 101Even though today is a rest day, it seems my body clock is now used to the early starts (after only 2 days!!!) and I'm waking up at around 6am every day. This is fine on the days I have to go to the gym, but I could've used an extra hour of sleep today. It seems my body clock doesn't take into consideration late nights.Pecs and lats feel a bit sore today, but everything els Read more:First

Made It Through The First Week 2008-06-15 05:00:53 Day: 7Days until 30: 98Well week 1 is over! I didn't skip a workout, I managed 2 cardio interval sessions as well as my weekly basketball game. I'm pretty happy with my effort in the first week.Today was the final upper body workout for the week. Every muscle was hit with today's routine and I'm starting to feel my strength improving already. The workout comprised of 6 exercises executed in supers Read more:First
Pump Those Legs Again 2008-06-17 07:12:27 Day: 9Days until 30: 96With the first week behind me I'm feeling a lot more motivated to keep pushing myself with this weight loss challenge. The first few weeks are always tough with getting into a new routine because it's the critical time to shake off any of those old excuses I have for not getting out of bed to hit the gym. Here are a few of my favourites and how I've overcome them:Excuse: it' Read more:Again

It was all going well until the barbell shoulder press (or military press). I moved up to a higher weight on this one and I was going through the reps standing up, but about halfway through the first set the middle of my back started hurting. I think I mus
