alternate Training Sessions
I start with pushups on bricks I do 2 sets of 15 reps on about 4 bricks under each hand with the kids on my back. I concentrate on using only the lower half of my chest and my triceps I do the exercise slowly to feel the burn with every move. I do believe that it is the best way to do it.
My second exercise I do is Shrugs with 25 liter water cans. I do 15 reps with these I also focus on making the motion a smooth as possible and feeling the muscle work all the way through. That is one thing I try with all my exercises to make sure to feel the muscle working if I can feel it is not working then I doubt the exercise is working.
On the third exercise I use the same water cans and do bicep curls with these. I cannot complete full motion as it is slightly heavy but I can do half a contraction and with the training I will be able to do one full motion soon. I also use this water cans to train my lat’s and my shoulders all doing 15 reps only.
Then for my legs I use an old car in the back of the yard picking it up as sort of a squat exercise utilizing mostly my hamstrings but as with everything I can feel the burn through out and doing it slowly.
So that is my mornings I try and do this at least four to five times a week. As time progresses I will add more exercises as my fitness levels increases again. I really try and focus on doing it slowly to make sure the muscle gets the job done no jerking no shaking just purely focusing on the muscle in contact moving the weight. I also try and make the weight heavier and more.

So Training Day Starts's tomorrow
I have started bumping up my diet again I go on the eat as much as you can as many times a day trying to keep it to the 40% Protein 60% Carbohydrates I am also using a protein shake and will go on the vitamins early in next year. I will give you a proper run down on some good days with what I’ve eaten during that day and my protein intake etc . . .
So what do I have planned for tomorrow, it is very simple Start light for the first week and build up from there until I get my confidence back and then go heavier and heavier.
So to start
Morning Session: 6 day Split concept (another body part each day for 5-6 sets 2-3 different exercises and some rest days after each six days
I will start with my neck and shoulders. I will keep it small
Shrugs for my neck 4 sets of 12 reps with 50Kg’s or 110poundsShoulder lifts 4 sets also 12 reps with 20kg’s or 45poundsthen some side raises 4 sets of 12 with 10kg’s Like I said start slowly and start small that’s the morning then the evening I would have my Hercules training again. I have tested it slightly during my sick time and taken some pictures for you all to see.
It is basic body weight training first I will do some sit ups and crunches about 50-200 and some Pushups three or four sets of 20. Then I do my biceps my shoulders and Lat’s with 2 x 25Litre water tanks filled with water doing only 15 reps. Unfortunately I don’t have any leg training equipment so I use an old car we have in the yard lifting its back end 15 time and for dead lift and general power I have a dustbin filled with bricks that I carry around to build extra strength so after tomorrow I will start placing some weight specs and more measurements.

Good news bad news
So this is me, I was hoping that I could start training this week but no luck. I have to wait another week, first Ineed to try and get rid of this flu virus. . . ."Gives me another week to quit smoking “So while I can’t train, I can plan ahead. So what I will do is soon I will upload some of my bodies weak areas that I need to work on, and how I will try and accomplish this.
My training method or thinking is very simple, you can make it harder.
I believe in the story of little Hercules back in Greece. When he was small his dad gave him a little cow, every day he took his cow to the arena and carried it around the arena. As the cow grow so did his strength. Simple yes? Very simple. Now apply it to getting truly big and strong. To make it easier just follow this blog. I will train my whole body at least once a day as if it is not training only part of my day to day working routine.
unfortunately I have a sit down in front of the PC job(Doesn’t help my fitness level much)
I estimate that I will commence my training slowly from next week Monday onwards, follow up every day to see what happens. I also have to start looking at my diet and my carbohydrate intake which is at this moment quite a lot.
So today I weigh in at a depressing 90Kg or for you outlandish folk 198Pounds (Correct me if I am wrong)this is my normal body specs for today(now remember I haven’t trained properly in three years)
Wrist: 17cm/6.7" (I doubt this will ever change)Top Fore Arm: 32cm/12.5"Arm Fold: 31cm/12"middle bicep: 38cm/15" (Now this needs to improve a lot)Shoulder Line: 120cm/47"Nipple Line: 108cm/42" (Now this is also unacceptable)Belly: 100cm/39" (this will change to abs as soon as I get well again very bad)
My Legs I will post every other week follow me while I reach my goals and hopefully give you some inside info on my journey of rediscovering My extreme me body Goals, which are not so hectic. I want to weigh in at 125Kg/275Pounds Muscle mass with 6% body fat all natural. Remember I started with bad genetics A mere 10 years ago and I used to weigh 55Kg/121Pounds lets see what works and what doesnt will have to check the first three months progress.
