Weight Training

Started training today with Lorna at Bondi Platinum. 8am start and was great to get back into proper free weights in the gym. Started off with squats and I was warmed up with the bar (20kilos) and then managed to get an extra 10kgs on each side of the bar, not bad considering I haven't done that kind of weight for about 8 years. Lorna has done alot of hypertrophy work where as my muscles have been in the atrophy phase. Deadlifts after squats which was hard but I managed to get 5kgs on each side, pretty good 30kg for deadlifts (i think in pump I do 10kilos) and the legs and back were feeling it gooood! We then did leg extensions, I have been so lazy with this exercise so I managed to do 42.5kgs for the first 15reps and then 35kgs for the next 10-15. I had forgotten that pain and the pain threshold - the lactic acid I could feel it in my legs ahhhhhh. Then we did some chin ups, after me explaining to Lorna that I have never lifted my body weight - but she spotted me and I managed to do 3 sets of 5 oh my god it was goood, she assisted by pushing my feet up which was great and I could really feel it. We still had some time spare so we decided to do some rowing and lat pull downs... just to totally torture ourselves. Really looking forward to continuing with the weight training and Lorna is great to push me and ensure that I get those last reps in.
