Day8: Fireworks in and out of the gym!

Remember remember the 5th of November, the gun powder treason and plot. I see no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot!

I have always wanted a moment to unleash such a grand quote from V for Vendetta. And now its done shall we move on.

My bloody joints feel terrible right now. Im talking my elbows, knees, shoulders ankles etc. Pretty much anything with a point of articulation. The reason? Parkour in the cold... I love Parkour but I hate the ill effects it has on my body. Besides having quite a sharp pain in my left elbow i shunned the spangly fireworks and ploughed on through a Chest/Shoulders/Triceps workour down the gym.

I would like to welcome back my new training partner. Ratboy! Good workout tonight boyo. He got the money on dips!

Maaan, My tris were absolutely fried by the time I hit up the skullz. I had originally scribbled them down for 3 sets - However set 2 didn't want to work at all!!! The weight should have been spot on as I have done that previously... I may lower the weight next week and push the reps to 12 solid slow and controlled. Other than that the trip to the gym was well and truly worth it for the PB on dumbell bench. TO be honest I liftted it A-OK for 10. Im projecting bigger weight in the coming weeks for 8! WooHaa.
