8 week hardcore trainer - Day 33 - Lower Back and Hamstrings Today has been a pretty busy and productive day. I started at 5am with training my client. I was then at the gym for 6.30am for my session. I had to start with hamstrings as the squat rack was being used. That’s ok though as it helped to warm me up ready for my deadlifts. I did single leg cable curls then seated hamstring curls and then some straight leg deadlifts. That was tough as I kept the rest periods short. I then went into deadlifts. I went into them with a real intensity and managed to hit some decent weight. I got 110kg for 15 reps, 130kg for 10 reps and then 150kg for 5 reps. I used the same weights as I increased the reps. I got 150kg for 5 but could only manage 8 with 130kg and then 13 with 110kg as my back was just totally fatigued! I’m happy with that though as I seem to be keeping a reasonable amount of strength. I got home quickly in order to try and get Foo Fighters tickets for London next June and by some kind of miracle I got them! I cannot wait to see them it will be awesome!! I also got my delivery of @kagedmusclesupps today. #kagedmuscle #kagedmusclesupps #8weekhardcoretrainer #kagedkreations #blog #diary #fitnessjourney #fitfam #fitspo #inspiration #motivation #gym #weighttraining #abs #training #exercise #fitness #dailyblog #transformation #instafit #facefear #dtp #dtpextreme #hamstrings #deadlifts

8 week hardcore trainer - Day 29 - Quads & Abs I haven’t written anything for the last couple of days just mainly because I haven’t felt like it. I was away over the weekend in Manchester with my girlfriends family which was good. My nutrition hasn’t been as good as it should be but I wanted to just relax. I’m sure I stayed within my calorie limits each day so I should be ok. The leg session was tough today and I had to change the exercises slightly as I didn’t have the right equipment. I started with narrow stance back squats and then did front squats. I didn’t go that heavy as I wanted to keep tension on the muscle. My lower back really took more of the weight than my legs though I think as it really pumped up and forced me to stop rather than my legs failing. I got the reps in but I wasn’t happy with them. I then did leg extensions and lunges which I can easily take to failure. I finished with a superset of ab roll outs into weighted sit ups again to failure on each. For cardio I just did 15 min hill walk then 15min of 2 min jog and 1 min rest. #kagedmuscle #kagedmusclesupps #8weekhardcoretrainer #kagedkreations #blog #diary #fitnessjourney #fitfam #fitspo #inspiration #motivation #gym #weighttraining #abs #training #exercise #fitness #dailyblog #transformation #instafit #facefear #dtp #dtpextreme #squats #legday #lunges #legworkout

8 week hardcore trainer - Day 19 - Hamstrings & Lower back I trained first thing this morning as I was up early to train my client. I started with hamstrings with leg curls and then straight leg deadlifts. I couldn’t really get on with the straight leg deadlifts for some reason but I got through the sets and reps anyway though. I fancied doing some deadlifts even though they were not in the plan today. I just played around with various weights and reps until I ended up going for a PB! I managed to pull 170kg (in the video👆🏻) which felt good so I wanted to try 180kg.....it was too much though and I didn’t really even move the bar but that’s ok. I finished the session with some back extensions and some ab work. My first cardio I did intervals on the treadmill of 1 min fast walk and 1 min run. It was tough but felt much better than the continuous run I did the other day. My second cardio was on the spin bike at home. #kagedmuscle #kagedmusclesupps #8weekhardcoretrainer #kagedkreations #blog #diary #fitnessjourney #fitfam #fitspo #inspiration #motivation #gym #weighttraining #abs #training #exercise #fitness #dailyblog #transformation #instafit #facefear #dtp #dtpextreme #deadlifts #hamstrings

8 week hardcore trainer - Day 17 Chest & Shoulders My quads hurt!! They have been getting progressively worse throughout the day so I know I hit them pretty hard yesterday. I don’t feel any bad effects from my run which is good. I thought my ankles and calf’s would be pretty sore and tight but they feel ok. I was up early to train my client this morning so I got to the gym early. I weighed in at 13st 4lb which is about 1lb less than last week. I’m ok with that it’s still dropping which is a good thing. I had to change quite a few of these exercises simply because there isn’t the right equipment in the gym. I started with the press/fly combination with dumbells which really tore my chest especially on my left side where I think it’s quite tight. 3 sets of that was tough. I moved on to some incline bench press then did flat bench press superset with dumbell flys. I finished on the chest press machine for a few dropsets. Shoulders are an area I would really like to improve both in strength and looks so I try and be as strict and go as heavy as I can with each movement. I took each exercise to absolute failure to ensure I work them properly. It’s weird getting up and training so early in the morning but it gives me so much more free time during the day so that’s good. Cardio today was just walking on an incline at a good pace. #kagedmuscle #kagedmusclesupps #8weekhardcoretrainer #kagedkreations #blog #diary #fitnessjourney #fitfam #fitspo #inspiration #motivation #gym #weighttraining #abs #training #exercise #fitness #dailyblog #transformation #instafit #facefear #dtp #dtpextreme #chest #shoulders

8 week hardcore trainer So I have decided to start this training plan again for a number of reasons. The main one being that I have been pretty relaxed with my diet for the last couple months and so I think I weigh the heaviest I have have ever weighed which is 13 stone 10lbs as of this morning. I have still been training pretty hard but just doing what I feel like each day. Having a set plan gives me a bit more focus and intensity. As usual I will be documenting each day on here as a mini blog mainly to help keep me accountable to my goals and the plan. The more people that know I'm doing this means I have to follow it through! I do enjoy this process and it's always nice to look back at the end and see how much has changed. I'm focussed to achieve the best results I can, it may be tough and draining at times but I have my goals set and my mind set on putting as much in to this as I can. What are my goals? Well I would like to get down to about 13 stone and look leaner. I would also like to get my fitness up and maybe enter into a 10k run or something like that. #kagedmuscle #kagedmusclesupps #8weekhardcoretrainer #kagedkreations #blog #diary #fitnessjourney #fitfam #fitspo #inspiration #motivation #gym #weighttraining #abs #training #exercise #fitness #dailyblog #transformation #instafit #facefear #strength
