Urgh..

Had 2 proper workouts this week for the first time in ages, what with everything that's been happening. I'll input the training info tommorow.

Suffice to say, I'm weak as a kitten! Some lifts aren't too bad - but anything involving my back seems to be very poor. Lots of work to be done.

I have my new home gym setup in the garage - a power rack and olympic weights will be forthcoming (once i get paid), but for now I have:

• A cheap and nasty adjustable bench;


• A 5 foot barbell that weighs very little;


• Around 140 kilos in discs of various shapes and sizes


• 2 adjustable dumbells (with the discs I have, i can get up to 37.5 kilos on each)


• An EZ-Curl bar


• A step platform around 2 foot high (adjustable via bricks)


• Skipping rope


• Stationary bike


• Elliptical Trainer


• A strategically positioned vertical pipe + various rubber bands, allowing rear delt flyes, rotator cuff exercises, etc.


• A very high ceiling allowing safe overhead lifts


• A stereo and some good music (at last!)

Not too bad a setup I reckon! Will upload pics.
