and so...
Tuesday 7th April

Swim session! And purposely went for the 7-8pm adults only, but it was fairly busy, and as I expected, too many idiots getting in the way. There was a bunch of annoying lads, and for political correctness I won't discriminate them, but about 7-8 of them, aged between 20 - mid 30's, not really swimming, just "dossing", one guy didn't look like he'd even got wet, stood a the side of the pool with another lad just heckling...I mean WTF?

You telling me they have all paid nearly £3 to just mess about? Just stupid, nothing against them, but this is an adult session, if they wanted to mess about, why not do it while all the other idiots are about too? I wouldn't mind, but its not even like there were any women they were showing off too etc. just the mentality of some people... at least they didn't get in the way as much as some others...

Still, that's my rant and reason for the slower times I managed to put in, 23 mins 7 secs, with splits at 6:23, 7.00, 7:03 and 2:42. Just not happy, the times are going in the wrong direction!

Anyway, since I'm writing this and reflecting upon my actions, I think I'll be changing my swim plan as you'll discover later on...

Wednesday 8th

Gave myself a break and did feck all, however, if the weather was good, I may have gone for a bike ride, but it was wet and windy, so rested without too much thought!

Thursday 9th April
Didn't think I had a lot of motivation for the weights tonight, but I still went for it, got into it and the rest just flowed...

Experimenting with the BP again, lowered the weight and upped the reps -
50kg warm up, then 70kg x 8 reps x 3 sets, which I was quite pleased with as I assumed I wouldn't have got the 8 I wanted on that last set, but just managed it.
Threw in some flyes too, and a better set of chins - with 9kg, managed 8 reps and another set at 7 reps.A set of preacher curls (16.5kg), two sets of DB curls (15.5Kg), shrugs, DB press (16.5 kg x 3 sets 10 reps), 1 arm rows and more tricep kickbacks...
and the usual stupid amount of ab work - even used some added weight!

GOOD Friday 10th April
No exercise today as more DIY was in hand, and I had my swimming planned for tomorrow since the holiday season meant the pool would be full of kids like the last time I went down there (silly mistake).
so new post for swim....
