February Sly Fitness Challenge
mrzed:
I've been sticking with my plan. On track with sticking to foods on my eating plan. Weight is coming down :).
Had my annual physical today. Labs were good. Need minor work on cholesterol. Need to resume taking niacin. Good strong D3 levels.
And lower back pain is getting less each day.

Just checking in, fell off the wagon last week and felt terrible, both mentally and physically, unlike previous times I'm not looking at it as having failed, just a bump in the road and have jumped back on the wagon.
Just done some time on the bike followed by some weights, 15 reps 4 sets of bicep curls, shoulder press, shrugs, think I need to up the weight a bit as I'm not really feeling "the burn". Mind you at the moment I'm still working on form/technique, I'm finding when I'm doing barbell or curl bar work I'm still very right sided dominent. Maybe I need to switch to more dumbell work?
P.S All my weight work is free weights, I don't go to a gym, just the spare bedroom!!
geeman:
I prefer free weights than going to a gym, my local ones are always busy when I'm free, and no one wipes off their sweat!! :Xo!
so i'm buying a new mtb, I used to ride nearly every weekend, and plan to cycle to work a couple of days a week, when the weather improves, 18 mile round trip...that should do it lol

That's the right attitude mate! Glad to hear you jumped right back on the horse.
If it feels like the weights are getting too light, then move up a bit, I know I personally find it difficult with some exercises to get my form right if the weights are too light. As for the dumbells, if you think your left is falling behind, then dumbells will help catch it. I think it goes without saying that you do the same weight with the left and right, and to do the same reps.
Geeman, I hear you about the not wiping their sweat down thing, I've been noticing that the past couple of nights at the gym, it's not what you want to see when you are saddling up to a bench. Unfortunately it's just something that you have to deal with from time to time at the gym.
My mates have been thinking about getting mtb's / getting them back up and running again, and I've been thinking of seeing if mine is worth fixing up. Then heading out to the local regional park and testing out some of the many tracks running all through the park.

Upped the weights today and it feels better, not painful but I can feel where I have worked. Still worried my workouts aren't really long enough, I start with 15 mins on the bike then after going through 4 sets on 4 different areas is only taking another 15 mins, kinda feel I should be doing more!!
Did bicep work with dumbells today instead of the curl bar, ol' lefty bicep aint piggy backing on righty no more!! ;D
