Cool, so everything at once is better. I can't really do chest properly yet as I only have a single 8KG dumbell, which seems to be about optimal for my arms at the minute (yeah I'm weak). Once I get more weight and a bench set the rest should be fine.

Is there a standard order for doing things as well? So you don't exhaust some muscles you're going to use in another exercise?

A Bastard gif! I've seen it all now!



For me I've got about 5 weeks til my 2nd ACL reconstruction, the left to match the right . Cutting carbs after 6pm from tomorrow and going to get my program on track and get a little leaner to make recovery easier and take some weight off. Since my arthroscopy I've started back on legs properly, hitting the gym hard and put 5lbs back on

Was having a gooseberry fool day and ate a huge bag of crisps, guess I'll have to do some more cardio tomorrow at the gym to make myself feel less bad about it

I seem to really struggle with my diet sometimes

I tend to go most muscles used to least and reps low to high. So for example chest - Flat dumbell press (lots of pec, tris, stabilisers to control Dumb bells) 5 reps on work sets, Incline Barbell press (upper chest, plus Barbells easier to control) 8-10 reps, DB flys (just pecs) 12 reps. Or compound through to isolation, which I simply take as most knackering exercise first (most muscles used) first through to least, so squats before calf raises. That's probably a pretty old school view though and there's properly qualified people here who can be more specific and loads of ways to mix it up.

Also if you've only got an 8kg Dumbbell do some Turkish get ups for a good all over exercise!

Get up, get on up!

If you've been hitting the gym since the op then it's quite probably muscle mass mate... Muscle weighs more than fat. Don't get down on yourself about it.

I've been doing a load of gym work since recovery from my ankle arthroscopy.

Same boat o/

Nice. I'm still intending to do this, just haven't got around to it.

Doing a bastard.

I thought they were called burpees?

A bastard is a burpee.....with a press up and a tuck jump.

Ahhh.....


That is a bastard.


edit...

Looks like you currently hold the record with 1.

Nice! I reckon I could do... at least twenty. What's your record, Robbo?

Personal training tonight - the held dipped press-up.....urgh.

It does look simple but you'll only need to do around 7 or 8 and you'll really be feeling it. The press up and jump tuck squat becoming ever-increasingly hard to execute properly. Going to get mine done in the next few days I imagine. Anyone else tried yet?

I start at the gym on Wednesday for my induction. Any tips? I'm looking to lose a little fat and gain stamina + some muscles.

I'm doing shitloads of cardio right now. I can see a real improvement in my leg muscles from when I started. My all round fitness is improving as well, massively. I could do 9k on a bike in 20 minutes when I started, now 10.5, which I'm happy with.

I seeeeee.

I was most definitely not doing one of those. I did a burpee, then went down again for a pushup and then jumped.

No wonder I thought it was impossible to do more than about 12 a minute.
