Wonderfully done, Tachyon
156 reps on the chest press - how many sets was that?!
Nice to see you doing a little more on the legs mate too, remember to give them a rest for two or three days though before your next session and you will be surprised how much more you'll be able to lift.
You deserve your 'treat' by the way

Very droll, Tabs, but you need work on this exercise lark a tad

Good advice on resting the legs. They felt fine on the walk home after I got off the bus, but they're stiff when I walk around the house now. Still, it's the quadriceps rather than the knee joint, which is just how I hoped it would be.
Keep up the good work!

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I've been slacking the last two weeks but not through choice, just been working 3 jobs and no damn time. I've now jacked one of the jobs in so I'll be back at it from Monday. Been swimming today for 45 minutes and lots of walking so I'm back on track.09-02-2019, 11:30 PM

I would have stayed longer at the gym, but thought I'd quit while I was ahead, lol.Good advice on resting the legs.

It's all worth it for the results though mate. Trust me

I thrash myself to bits sometimes in the gym in an effort to catch up on days I've missed, but forget that I'm on my feet all night at work walking 6-8 miles and throwing around heavy items.
Well done on the swim today!

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Sunday 10/2/19: “7’s” 25mins.(All weights in kgs)
Intending to rest following my pretty decent workout yesterday, I did quickly manage a couple of strength exercises at the gym. Every little adds up…
Chest press:
25x35, 15x45, 10x60, 8x70, 6x85
10x65, 25x30
Fly delt dec.:
25x80, 20x95, 15x110, 12x125, 10x140
15x95, 20x65
*Instead of the regular inward pull which exercises the deltoids, I changed my hand position so the palms faced each other and used mostly my biceps to do this exercise. I still managed to pull the full weight stack. 140kgs not bad going using just the guns!
I had to go to get back for 2pm as I’m expecting my stepdaughter anytime now. She has had some problems and has left her partner but is now fixed up with a house for her and the kids, moving in next week. Our house is full of her things so I expect to be a removal man next weekend. As far as exercise goes, I’ll fit it in when I can.
Thanks for reading
