Thanks alot Cassie and that's fine no problem, hope it goes well.
Yeah im going to keep trying best with squats, i never knew they were so dangerous if done wrong, but i think i got most of the hang of it earlier as it made me more out of breathe like deadlifts do and i could feel it in thighs for once.
The elbow isn't too bad, hurts sometimes when i have it in certain positions, but im getting it checked out soon anyway.
Hmm, maybe i'll add on 10mins of jump rope after then, just incase i don't get the chance of doing it the weekend, however i probably will.
100g oats, with 200ml semi skimmed milk, quite alot of calories i feel for what actually doesn't fill you up loads in opinion.

Breakfast, 3 shreaded wheat, protein scoop and 200ml semi skimmed milk
445 cal, 36.8g protein, 58.3g carb, 6.6g fat
Upper Body Workout B
Warm up - bent over BB row
4 x Bent Over BB row (60kg) - 7,7,7,7
3 x Incline DB Press (20kgx2) - 8,8,10
3 x chin ups - 10,10,10
3 x lateral raise (6kg x2) - 10,10,10
3 x French Press (13kg) - 8,8,9
3 x Hammer curl (11kgx2) - 9,9,9
3 x DB Pullover (22kg) - 8,8,9
Did 10mins jump rope after as you suggested and boy i didn't want time to go much faster, i was already tired, thirsty but did it even though i wasn't as good.
So good workout i feel, everything was better this week, more weight or more reps, with the bent over bb rows i used to do 3 sets and in 5-8 reps, however if i was doing 3 x 5 reps it probably isn't enough volume, so tried 4x6-8.
The incline db press was ok, be ideal if i can get a self spotting rig of some sort though as the hard part is getting the weight in the starting position/getting it off.
Chin ups were also alright, really wanted to make sure i did better this week and did manage so, with french press i hope im doing them right, im keeping arms in a close as i can and having a fairly close grip, felt right elbow click a bit on the first set, maybe these will be easier once i get a ez curl bar, but yeah adding weight every week which is good, but form is the most important.
Hammer curl now these were hard, last week i did i think 8,8,8 or 8,8,5 and struggled. Same sorta thing, on the last set i had to tweak form a little just to get in the last 2 reps, so i don't think adding weight is ideal for these and even when it comes to doing them next week ,i think im really going to struggle to do 10,10,10?
And finally DB pullover found these more difficult today maybe because more weight but with these i know i give 110%, as im always out of breathe while doing them and tired after, i feel if i could do this for all the exercises gains would be great, but i suppose the reason why it seems im giving the most effort for the pullovers is because i know if i drop the weight theres a high chance it will kill me.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Sounds like you're getting stronger Martin! This is GREAT GREAT GREAT news! Your hard work is definitely paying off and you are doing a fantastically terrific job! AWESOME job on the jump rope... I imagine that was a bit brutal after doing the weights. Way to stick it out and work through the pain! I'm proud of ya Martin! You are such an inspiration!MartinBoy wrote:Day 385

Workout - Lower Body A
Deadlift warm up set 30kg

3 x SLDL 50kg - 8,8,8
4 x Leg Extension (20kg) - 10,10,10,10
5 x Seated Calf raise (20kg-30kg) - 15,15,15,15,15
Was alright, however lower body workouts are always a lot shorter than upper body and lower body is just as if not more important. It lasted 36 mins for the workout which isn't loads. However, it went well i think just need to make sure form is good, SLDL i reduced the weight to 50kg as it's hard on wrists and this allowed me to do more reps which i did feel it working the hamstrings more, leg extensions i did the end of the motion, so not going all the way down as i feel it's going to put unnecessary pressure on the knees.
And seated calf raises i gave a go by sitting on a bench, and a plank of wood (which i used for incline before) i rested feet on but it probably wasn't high enough, had the weight on a barbell on lap and went from there, but then put the weight on lap and increased it but i feel it was akind of waste of time, maybe next time i need more weight or i need to have feet higher up.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
Hi Martin,
Don't worry too much about upper body workouts taking longer than lower body. For upper body you have your pecs, back, biceps, triceps, shoulders... 5 body parts. For lower body you really just have hams, quads, glutes, and calves... 4 bodyparts. This will make the lower body a bit faster than upper. Plus, there are quite a few more exercises to work with when doing upper body compared to lower; especially for you where you're working out at home so you don't have access to all the fancy workout machines found in gyms. Can you do hamstring curls on that bench of yours? If so I would have thrown those in to balance things out a bit. You could also throw in another calf exercise to make 6 exercises total.... 2 for each bodypart. OR you could always add in lunges or step ups if you feel the need to do more.

I can do hamstring curls, but i was reading up on them, and noticed that someone's opinion was that they destroy your hamstrings/knees as there not a natural exercise - explaining that in real life you wouldn't use your hamstrings to curl up like that, but the other way, not sure how much of this is true so didn't bother much, but yeah it's possible to do them on the bench i have.

Was out last night, smoked a little, had about half a small beer and went out for a meal but only ate salad and chicken breast flame grilled, jacket potato, after had like few smiley faces/onion rings not alot. Didn't want to make myself vomit. So hopefully i won't put on weight/effect muscle growth, going to do jump rope now anyway.

Maybe i should look out for a gym as outdoor gyms that you see over parks aren't the best for routine lol. And it seems quite annoying, eating well when not putting any work in, it's almost as if im wasting time, not that i hate eating the way i do but i feel like if no effort is being put in, then of course no gains will be made.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
jUST updating to say that ive ben to a gym here and am planning to go again tomorow, however some bad news, ive decided to go away on holiday for 3 weeks as it's a chaper price and i won't get the chance again, so all money down the drain, but it should be good, only thing is im obviously going to want to enjoy myself, alcohol food etc, will i lose progress, im expecting theres a chance i could get a little fat, but will i lose the muscle i have etc, also it kinda messes up driving test etc but i might aswell go im not going to get the chance again!
Way i see it there's no point mising a chance of a lunchtime because driving test although im going to have to learn it again as will probably change when i could fail it anyway, it's something i'll have to do at another date?it
I really want to go but of course im cautious of routine/progress the lot.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
That's what holidays are for, showing off your hard work 
Don't worry about taking a 3 weeks break, you're not gonna lose your muscle.

Hey guys im back, ate good nutrition, and even went to the gym a couple of times, did upper body though on the 2 days rather than lower as lower doesn't take as long and wanted to get the use out of the gym, so hopefully i'll do them sometime the weekend.
Rough nutrition
1st day: 2220 cals, 144g protein, 278g carbs, 42g fat
2nd day: (gym) - 2688 cals, 178g protein, 334g carbs, 52.6g fat
3rd day - 2836 cals, 189g protein, 386g carbs, 44g fat
4th day - (gym) 3013 cals, 187g protein, 397g carbs, 63g fat
So as you can see i needed more calories as the day went on, i also have to eat say every 2-3hours as i notice i get hungry, which i hope isn't a problem when i go away, anyway more on that, I've decided to spend money to go away to Greece as it's a holiday i probably won't get offered again as the price is about half, most of the food labels etc will be in Greece, plus i will probably be out most of the nights, now i am going to treat it as a holiday, in that terms not being able to workout, so when im back i should be full of energy when i have first workout, problem being, nutrition and drinking etc is going to change immensly, now the main problem i have is worrying about losing muscle and any of progress, it's 3 weeks out of 52 so in that respect not alot, but when you're probably not eating too well etc for 3 weeks then knowing me i would gain some fat, so worse way im guessing im going to have to burn it off when i come back, but as long as i can keep the muscle i have, it is a holiday so of course i want to enjoy myself, but working out and nutriton/routine means alot to me.

Re: Fat Around Button Area?
I had a Grandmother who went there once, who said she didn't like it because it wasn't green enough.
I think she was referring to a possible lack of grass and foliage, but even so her comments were treated with laughter and surprise

Well hopefully it'll be a great time! And worth the money im hoping!
Day 394
Breakfast, 3 shreaded wheat, 50g wheat germ and 200ml semi skimmed milk
503 cal, 29.3g protein, 80.3g carb, 9.7g fat
Quite busy as late, hope i can get in at least 1 legs day though as i missed it this week, so hopefully i can get in a day the weekend.
100g chicken, 50g oats
340 cals, 31g protein, 30g carbs, 5.5g fat
Ok tried fitting in lower body a workout
Found 4 different sized and width pieces of wood, which i tried to stack barbell on for deadlifts so that i didn't squat too low to get the bar, trying to adjust form, they were at the bottom of shin, did 5 reps and sets of 61kg weight, it felt kinda easy, not sure if that was because i had some oats before doing the workout or where legs haven't been worked for about a week, but it just felt most of back was being worked, nothing else, same with SLDL - 51kg 3x8, went to do hamstring curls (lying on bench reverse curls) but it just didn't feel right, 20kg couldn't go all the motion, tried 10kg and it felt like it was getting caught on something.
I was going to stop after the first deadlifts but basically workout was just both deadlifts, sweating had baggy trousers on and quite busy so not really a "workout" and it didn't particualy feel hard and challenging which is annoying in a way as where im going away for 3 weeks, need to workout hard, sorry.
50G oats, protein scoop, 100ml semi skimmed milk
352 cals, 31g protein, 38g carbs, 7.7g fat

100g chicken 50g cous cous
295 cals, 31g protein, 36g catrbs, 3g fat
25g peanuts
150 cals, 6.5g protein, 13g fat
50g oats, 50g wheat germ, 200ml semi skimmed milk
460 cals, 28.3g protein, 65.8g carbs, 12.5g fat
tdee around
2395 cals, 166g protein, 300.8g carbs, 57.2g fat
