I have just gotten back from the gym, I didn't feel ready for it yesterday as there was still a faint muscle ache and I believe in listening to my body.

I was up at about 8:00am, I got my stepson ready for school and took him to school for 8:55am, I then prepared my morning fuel.... 2 eggs scrambled on two pieces of toast.  I followed this with some red bull style drink.  I then took the dog for a walk to get me body awake and the energy moving... this also serves to get the digestion moving to provide energy.

Before leaving for the gym at around 10:30 I took my creatine with some more red bull energy drink.

Todays workout was great, I felt like I was really making some good progress, if anything needs changing its only the routine now.  The problem with the current routine is that a lot of the exercises hit the biceps as a secondary muscle, this makes them tire before the primary muscle groups which I want to work at, si the result is that I cannot complete full sets of some muscle groups.

During the workout it is important to get a lot of water into the system. Post workout I took the rest of the daily creatine advised. When I returned home I drank some more water and had a tuna sandwich followed by some pineapple to aid recovery.

Hopefully I will have a fast recovery time from this workout.... I'll post tomorrow details of how much I ache or not!


Tonight I am off to train with some local parkour lads, but I fear having already done a workout that I will not be much use.  It will be good to show my face and see what they are upto anyway, tonights training is a HELL night..... this means intense workouts designed for parkour in an urban setting.
