Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwn :o

Me: *Gets tub out with Jacket Potato and Tuna in...Puts some Good oil on it*
Colleague: *Sniffs really loudly* What IS that smell it's horrible?
Me: It's Tuna and Potato....??? Stopping being a big girl!

Waiting for complaints or something to come in :o Luckily no on was cutting through the office at the time, but no doubt people will moan about the smell...Even though it's not overpowering at all.
 
After a week of missing legs, I did a leg workout today:

BB Back Squats: 70kgx5, 80kgx5, 90kgx5, 100kgx5, 110kgx5;
BB Calf Raises: 70kgx5, 80kgx5, 90kgx5, 100kgx5 (mixed grip), 110kgx5 (mixed grip);
BB Sldls: 70kgx5, 80kgx5, 90kgx5, 100kgx5 (mixed grip), 110kgx5 (mixed grip);
Lever Calf Extensions: 20kgx5, 20kgx5, 30kgx5, 30kgx5, 40kgx5;
Step up lunges (plates): 50kg5x5 each leg;
DB Goblet Squats: 55kgx5, 55kgx5, 55kgx5, 55kgx5,55kgx5;
5 minutes rowing

By far the hardest and most grueling leg workout ever. I'm going to have a bit of a problem in a few weeks, because 55kg is as high as the dumb-bells go, so I might do goblet squats with plates instead when I reach that level.

Every single rep on the last two sets were very hard, but I feel good about it at least.

Done some hamstring thing....Finding it hard to do anything with really...They're not the longest of bands (the green one) and they don't stretch loads :p

lol @ hamstring thing. Which vid was it from? May need to get a few put together, maybe from Squat guide Ice posted up, so when your back is fine, then you'll have the mobility to get stuck in :)

I'd also be stretching my shoulders too.

Ah yea, forgot he had issues with his shoulders too. :p. Anyway, yea, you need to get a mobility routine set out, like you would with your weight routine. Then atleast you know which ones you're gonna be doing instead of random ones :)

Anyone ever accidently put too much weight on the bar and done your work and not realise why it's suddenly so darn heavy?

I did that today, was supposed to do bicep barbell curls at 24.5KG and couldn't understand why the extra 2.5 kg was makingit soo damn hard to get my work done.
Had to stop midway after a few sets and stretch as my forearms and biceps felt like exploding and my face and neck had veins popping out from the shear effort of it all.

Then after I was done I realised I had two 10KG plates on instead of two 5kg ones :(
So instead of working at 24.5kg like I was supposed to I was at 34.5kg, at least I didn't end up swining the weight and bending my back.
But hell! Was it tough.

Dropped to 22kg for my narrow grip work and arms were shot.

Couldn't even do 1 length of the gym for farmer's walking since my forearms were destroyed.
 
I have a question!

A lot of the time after I finish my legs I get pins&needles in my face and feel very sick for about 10 minutes. Am I pushing myself too hard? I don't think it's dehydration.
