DAY 4 & 5

Yesterday’s cardio session was another success as I hit every high point and gave it everything I had to the point where I thought my thighs were going to spontaneously combust. Its like the pleasure pain theory in a way because its hurts like hell while doing the exercise but the sense of achievement that you get knowing that you gave it your all and completed it is pretty awesome.

Today started well as I got to the gym for 7:15 but I take back what I said on day 3, quote: “I don’t seem to have much problem with my leg exercises due to the McKone genes which include muscular thighs”. It seems that a lower body workout followed by intense cardio on the exercise bike takes its toll on the legs. Well mainly the backs of my knee’s and inner thighs… it also feels like I’ve pull my arse muscles as well. All this moaning aside I had a great upper body workout today but I had to amend the program a wee bit because at the moment the weights are a little bit too heavy when trying to hit the high points. This in turn is causing me to lose form so I’ve lightened the load a bit and will increase it again when I start to get stronger. So I’ve included the amended upper body program below:

So tomorrow will be cardio day again so hopefully my legs will have recovered a bit before I hit the exercise bike.
