Hello and Welcome

Hi there. I created this blog to log my entire bodybuilding day to day routine between now and the Sping/Summer of this year. The purpose of the blog will be to show you exactly what I do to get in shape for the summer. Last summer, I dieted dow, but didn't log the experience, so I thought I'd show everyone who is interested how I go about my business in the next few months.

I've been nursing a sprained wrist, and really, I shouldn't even be in the gym these days while it heals, but like many people who workout religiously, I am too stubborn to let injuries just heal. Currently I can only do flying movements. So I went in and did some light chest work

As of today, I have trained:

Chest/Triceps/Shoulders. My routine was as follows:

 Incline dumbbell flies:

15*20 KG
15*25KG

Working sets:
15*30KG
15*30KG
15*30KG (felt pretty difficult gripping the dumbbell and I eased off a lot on the reps after this set)
8*30KG

Pyramiding downwards:
20*20KG
20*14KG

The weight was pretty light in general, but I managed to get a good stretch and a decent feel in my chest at this point.

Standing cable flies:

I never really go heavy on cable flies, but this time I went with some moderate weight on the stack and did 100 odd reps. and 2 sets with abour 3 mins rest between. Had a massive burn at the end.

Knuckle Pushups:
4 sets of 20


I couldn't push myself at all on this, and was starting to feel my wrist flare up again so I stopped doing chest at this point.


Ended the workout with some abs:

Superset for abs:

25 reps on ab crunch with moderate weight
25 reps on cable crunches
25 reps hanging leg raises

3 sets

Triceps:
Rope pulldowns:

3 sets of 20 reps with movderate weight.

Only did rope pulldowns because it's the only movement that doesn't aggravate my wrist.

I don't monitor the weight too closely on the cable movements, but for the sake of the blog I will from now on.

Felt pretty bad (not in a good way at the end of the workout) because my training intensity took a pretty hefty knock, and I was mainly just doing high reps. I'm very concious of my wrist and try not to do anything that will put a big strain on it.

I'll go over my diet in the next blog post.
