After initial plans to compete at this years Fitness Britain & Musclemania etc, i've had to re-focus & sort a couple of small problems out before a bigger kick off.
Late November i unfortunately damaged my lower back, believing that i'd merely pulled a muscle.
However, come February, after taking the whole of December & January off, i was still feeling the full affect.
Now, i don't particularly like going to visit the Dr's. Nothing personal, just they tend to deliver nothing but bad, negative news right?? Being a person that likes to keep optimistic, i put it off, but finally bit the bullet & went through.
Turns out that 'muscle pull' was actually a slipped disc originating between L5 & S1 in the spine.
So today i had my first chiropractor session. Feel a bit better after some clicking, popping etc haha!
Hit the gym straight after (yes, no more excuses!!) & did back, which i'm loving right now!
After a thorough warm up, i hit chin ups, clearing the bar completely with each rep. Using a variety of grips to target various angles & areas of the back. Moved on to pull downs, using a heavy --> light multi-drop set method for 4 sets. Next i hit the middle back, for width using the pull down bar on the cable pulley machine, again for 4 sets. Last set was again, a drop set.
Last exercise was a superset of dumbbell rows, with moderate weight good mornings, to really engorge the back, which it really did.
Polished off a postworkout shake straight out of walking out the gym, which i will give details of, along with the full workout session below.
Tonight i will be able to do a 30 minute workout, which i intend to use to smash my abs & calves, 2 areas that i feel able to train everyday, without any problems.
I shall add details of this tomorrow though.
I'm also using a new training schedule, which i'll post more details of later in the week, along with every workout i perform.
Tomorrow see's a new & improved chest session, which i really, really, REALLY looking forward to, along with some abs & cardio in the morning at 6am & also some more calves.
I'm seriously considering competing at the Mr. Northern Ireland Fitness Model championships, as long as i can find some Irish blood somewhere in my heritage that it.
I will also be attending the British Expo in May, as well as the FAME Championships in June.
Finally, i have now launched an online store on the website, just go to WWW.TOTALBODYSCULPTURE.CO.UK and click on the shop icon. If you're not forwarded automatically to the site, just click the blue store icon & that will take you there. I will be selling my own PT services, as well as supplement products from leading brands such as CNP & Optimum Nutrition, so check it out!!
Until tomorrow!
Yours In Fitness!!!
