Dax Moy's Muscle In A Month Program Day 27 - DOMS Rating 3

Penultimate day!!

Started with chest and back, then shoulders and core and finished with legs!! Pretty large volume of work. I felt I wascoping pretty well until I started with the squat jumps. At thatpoint I pretty much ran out of steam and had to concentrate and work really hard to complete the session.

Lokking forward to tomorrow - final day and pizza for me to celebrate!!

Worked a long early shift today and really felt like just going home without training. However, once I got in the gym and started training I felt fine. Loads of arm work and my arms really felt pumped. Looking forward to finishing now!!

Worked hard today but felt pretty good. Finished with multiple sets of barbell curls paired with close grip bench presses. I've struggled to maintain an accurate account of how many sets I've completed on previous occasions. However, today I had a plan more cunning than Professor fox at Cunning Univeristy. I took a dumbell from the rack and then moved all the remaining bells to the right hand side thus leaving a gap at the left hand end. as I completed a set, I moved a bell to the left hand end. When the bells were all at the left hand end it was time to go home!! simple huh?

Felt ok today until I started doing lunges. Then I felt sore around my hamstrings and hips. I then had a problem doing squat jumps where my calf cramped up on me. I have had lots of problems in the past with injuries in that area so I took the sfae option and reverted to bodyweight squats.

Sorry but no photo or measurements today. I went out first thing this morning and took Sue, my wife, to breakfast .With working shifts, our relationship is sometimes like ships passing in the night so we have to make appointments to see each other. I had a very nice smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Then left for work. This evening I going straight from work to complete the qualifying round of the Brain of London tournament. I'm a quiz fanatic and play in a league every Monday night as well as competing in national Grands Prix whenever I have the opportunity. Last night we won our cup semi final and we are currently top of the League looking to repeat our League and Cup double from last season!! I'll not get home till around midnight and as I'm on an early shift tomorrow, I'll need my beauty sleep!!

Hips still a little sore, hamstrings stiff from yesterday's harrups!

If, a month ago, someone had proposed a session like today's, I'd''ve looked at it and thought - ok, but I'll need a week's recovery. However, I cruised through today's session and I'm ready for tomorrow. Isn't it funny that our limits are set by what other people tell us is possible? Struggled through more press up today, interspersed with high volume barbell curls. Then core work interpsersed with tricep pushdowns. Got done in around an hour. Pleased with the session and slightly less sore than yesterday.

Sore around the hips and glutes today and feeling generally tired. I went out to support some of my athletes at a road race today (Richard set a PB by 1.5 minutes and Amanda set a PB running inside 40 minutes for 10k for the first time - well done both!!) and then went to the gym afterwards. Once training, I felt more energised and even multiple leg curls could not slow me down!! Feel tired now though and will probably grab an early night.
