As promised to myself, I managed a quick weight training session this evening, making two exercise sessions in one day (a repeat of Christmas Eve).

I started with a quick warm-up, using a 10kg disc to pump out some presses, then some squats and presses with a light bar (about 20kg).

First exercise as usual was the shoulder presses, using 30kg (3 sets). Then quickly moved onto inclined bench presses, going from 30kg. 40kg to 45kg. Then curls using 20kg plus EZ-bar, followed by tricep extensions with 20kg supersetted with hammer curls with same tricep bar. This was not planned, I just thought, why not try it. The tricep bar seems ideal for double handed hammer curls. My upper arms felt really pumped after this, so if I get good results from this bicep/tricep supersetting then I will continue.

After I made a protein drink, using Weider Muscle Builder. I added extra chocolate powder, and rather than using the skimmed milk as suggested, I used half fresh cream (left over from Christmas) and skimmed milk. It went down well.

I also cooked a ham this evening, so I will get another protein boost when I tuck into that in a moment!

Good day, a hard run and a weight training session that left me feeling pumped. Let's just hope I have the energy to run again tomorrow. It's New Year's Eve tomorrow, so time to party!
