Excuses this morning:
1. I'm still sore from the other day
2. If I train again this morning, I'll be tired for class tonight
3. I deserve to stay in bed an extra hour
4. I'm tired.
5. I deserve to stay in bed an extra hour
Then the other side kicked in.
1. Highly effective people are proactive - according to Dr Stephen Covey. Google that lad he's great.
2. I'll cycle to the dojang instead of running.
3. No I'll drive
4. Ah feck it just get up.
Effective people are proactive - That's my mantra for this morning.
So up I got and stuffed the haversack, got the pineapple and the pre training shake in, let it settle, got the Asics on and hit the road. I hate Wayne McCullough he makes it sound easy.
Cranked up the Ipod, I'm enjoying some Petshop Boys at the moment. Some of their stuff is great to run to.
At the gym, I got stuck into the shoulder routine;
Standing military press - empty bar, high reps as a warm up.
Seated dumbbell shoulder presses - 3 sets again high reps for an awful burn!
Rear delts were hit using the resistance bands
Lateral raises with Dumbbells and resistance bands finished off a burner on the deltoids.
Then onto the Triceps. No good in working Biceps without Triceps, the largest muscle group in the upper arm and a muscle a lot of gym rats forget about. If you want big arms you have to pay attention to the tri's.
Some seated dips to start, 3 sets of 20 and the tri's were nice and pumped.
Skull crushers followed for that intense burn closer to the elbow followed by cable pull downs with the resistance band to finish.
All of this took about an hour, and a good stretch and I was back on the road.
I was so glad to get back home, not that I was tired just happy I beat the excuses and was proactive in the approach to a very early start. It's hard enough to motivate yourself to train in the evening, but 6 in the morning is another days work!
Job done.
