We’ll it has been a bit of up – and a lot of down – the past four to five weeks. I sustained a serious grade two tear of my right calf muscle, a grade two tear of my left hamstring and required a knee operation on my left leg. It is an understatement that this has hampered my training.
I have had to change tact. Given that my surgeon has told me now more running. SO! Into the gym we go.
Rather than steer back down the line of triathlon and ironman, it’s going to be pecs like slabs of concrete, sleave busting guns, abs of steel …. pretty much an all-round transformation.
It’s been years since I have thrown the dumbells around, but I have a fair knowledge base from my previous weight training experience when I was – cough – younger. So as not to do too much too soon, prevent injuries and not pull up feeling as though a bus has hit me, I have put together an entry program which will see me through the first six weeks.
My first session this evening – it will all be about focusing on good technique. Basically setting some good foundations. Armed with only one addition to my supplements. BCAA’s (Branch Chain Amino Acids). I will also increase my intake of protein supplements pre and post work out.
Having taken some ‘before’ photo’s, I am armed to the teeth and very keen to see what I can achieve.
Onwards and upwards.
