rested shoulder again, felt bad coz i hadnt done any lifting since wednesday and was tempted to do my shoulder/back day but shoulders still not 100%.

hamstrings feeling better. might be able to do some lower ody work this week and some running. im going to do some lifting tommorow - arms or chest if shoulders still not feeling right. might try some squats too to test my hamstring.

25min session after watching the football. shoulder still hurting but wanted to get some lifting done as i was feeling bad for not doing anything for a few days.

only had 25 mins as it was past 9.30 by the time i went out after watching the football. decided to do a general all over workout, going heavier on the barbell exercises and trying to do some squats after my hamstring injury.

Squats (+7.8kg) 1 x 10 reps
DB Upright Row 1 x 10 reps
DB Curls 1 x 10 reps
Hammer Curls 1 x 10 reps
Inclune DB Press/Fly Super Set 1 x 10 reps
Bench Press (+23kg) 2 x 5 reps
Reverse Curls 1 x 10 reps
Tricep Extensions 1 x 10 reps
Shrugs 1 x 10 reps
Front Raises (+5kg) 1 x 5reps
DB Shoulder Press 1 x 10 rep
Bent over BB Row (+23kg) 1 x 5 reps

happy that id been able to do some squating without it hurting my hamstring. good to get back lifting too after a few days off but right shoulder is still hurting. going to start a new routine with a leg day in (now that my hamstrings up to it - i think!!) so ill start light and might try getting some jogging in while sorting out an upper body day i.e 2 daysplit that i can perform twice a week = 4 days resistance training a week.

Start of new upper body/lower body split. 45 min session. went into it without a routine and just decided i was going to mix thiongs up, adding weight to some exercises and upping reps on others. heres what i did:

2 sets of the following

5 x BB Bench Press (+2.3kg)
5 x BB Bench Press (+2.3kg) (had to do 10 reps split into 2 fives instead- too heavy!)
20 x DB Fly
10 x Single Arm DB Curls (+2.1kg)
10 x Single Arm Reverse Curls (+2.1kg)
10 x Tricep Extensions (+2.1kg)
10 x DB Shoulder Press (+2.1kg)
25 x Rowing Machine

REALLY Enjoyed this workout, kinda planning what i was doing as i went along, really freshend things upp. lower body with some side/lateral raises tommorow! shoulder still hurting, bit better maybe, hamstring better again - rowing machine didnt hurt at all.

pain! chest is sore after yesterday and my right shoulders not feeling like its got any better at all. going to have day off and then do legs, back and raises tommorow. might have to watch with the raises though as they seem to aggrivate my shoulder.

my mate from norways over so showed him my 'weights room' and we did 30 mins in there. bit squashed, not really suitable for two but we alternated on the bench, rowing machine and the dumbells and barbell.

havnt got a clue what i did!

it was very random but my mate showed me a few new exercises and feeling it today so must have worked!

i did a mixture of benching, shoulder presses, flys deadlifts, rows and a few different curls. probably did 2 or 3 set of most things but i didnt keep track propely. hamstrings feeling almost 100% now but still not done any running on it - might do tomorrow if the weathers not too bad and i get time before work but it'll probably be sunday. hopefully be back playing 5 a side by end of next week.

shoulders hurting though still, maybe i should have rested it for longer but nevermind. lower back was hurting last night after workout too - think i need to work on my form with the bent over barbell rows!

day off tonight, going to the pub with my mate!
