Thought I'd finally pop my head in here and say ello.
After chatting with a friend decided was time to get my ass to the gym and get a little bit in shape, can't remember the last time I did any kind or real excercise.
My mate was headed back to the gym after a long time off due to new family
arrivals and asked if I wanted to join him, what the hell I thought.
Was dreading going
but needs must, this was 4 weeks ago.
Started off at 17St 8lb (VERY overweight) and am now currently ~16St 5lb.
Was pretty dissapointed in that I didn't seem to drop much weight for 4 weeks worth of excercise (imo) and it wasn't til I spoke to my mate it finally clicked. I may not have lost a huge amount of weight but I am so much stronger than I was, back the first day we went I was trying to squat 20Kg x5 and I was knackered. Now my max is 90Kg, Deadlift from 30 to 105, shoulder press and bench is still pretty low but it's getting there (slowly
)
We've just finished 4 weeks of working on core stuff and are now moving to another set of workout (got the list at home can put it here later). To say I'm enjoying it would be an understatement, really don't know why I hadn't done this sooner.
I'm hoping this to be a permanent change and will update here every now and again, as well as reading up lol
He's also advised I ordered some bits and bobs from myproteing but they seem to be taking the **** and the stuff I ordered on Saturday STILL isn't here
Time for a quick question too, I've always thought I had weak joints and after last set of leg my knee's were giving me a bit jip, nothing "painfull" just uncomfortable really. Have any of you used glucosamine before? I read thats meant to be really good for joints/bones.
Go easy I'm a newb
