My first leg workout in my new gym today, I was really looking forward to it as it meant I could do squats and heavy leg press! My old gym had a rubbish leg press machine, one of those cable machine that attaches to the weight stack with a cable. The new gym has a [...]
After last week’s shoulder workout wherein Dan put the idea in my head that I might be over training on my shoulders, I decided that this week I would just do the shoulder press and not bother with any isolation exercises. It made for a very short workout, though I did do a bit more [...]
This evening, I thought I would practice what I preach, and because I’m writing a FREE e-book all about interval training, try out some of the sprint interval training that I’ve been researching. The basic theory is that the greater the intensity with which you work at during your fast intervals, the greater will be [...]
I was looking forward to my chest workout today because it meant I got to do bench press, which I haven’t been doing much of, due to the fact that my old gym didn’t have any free weights. I know that by doing proper bench press, I will see some serious gains in the chest [...]
My first back workout in my new gym was a bit of a dissappointment if I’m honest. For some reason I couldn’t get into my workout today, I didn’t really feel like working out and in the end kind of went through the motions. I guess some of this is down to the fact that [...]

[...]
This was my last workout in my current gym as tomorrow I’m moving to a new gym, The Train Station gym, which is a small chain of gyms, based in Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet and Frome.
I started off my workout with a short run on the treadmill just to loosen the legs up, then went [...]
I went up to Bristol today to have a workout with Dan at his gym, we do this every few weeks just as a way of helping each other out, we always seem to learn something from each other and it’s great to have a bit of company while working out!
We did a shoulder workout [...]
This is my penultimate week of training before I take a well deserved week off, and it’s a good thing too, because today I was starting to get that feeling of dread about doing a workout. I think this is because I am finding my current routine is getting a bit stale and needs spicing [...]
Started off my back workout with seated cable rowing, during which I decided to implement some advice that I read in Muscle and Fitness in the Ask Arnold column, in which the great man says you should really squeeze your shoulder blades in when doing seated rows so as to get the maximum benefit for the [...]
