With Nationals (NABBA) only 11 short weeks away (& 5 days to be precise), I thought it time for a new journal.

Starting stats 62.6kg @ 16% body fat.

Aiming for 55kg (ish) @ 8% body fat.

Incline seated row (NG) 100 x 15, 12, 10

Incline seated row (WG) 100 x 12 12 12 (lats burning)

A1 Lat pulldown 90 x 10 x 4 (will go heavier next week)

Cool, I'll be watching and reading your journal as always :)

Hey Flamer, you are a bit of an internet celebrity!! Lots of appearances on GoFigure and in the cool little vid on Raechelle's website from the Auckland champs. 8)

Monday 4th Aug

PM - 40min X trainer (488cals)

Wasn't going to head to gym - but needed to vent somewhere. I have a couple of absolute f*ck-KNUCKLE clients at the moment. "It's a stereo, not a heart lung machine, you don't need it to survive" PLEASE! Must be the weather bringing out the worst in people. Certainly couldn't be me & the fact I've started dieting again! :pfft:

Lol, I used to work in an appliance store and the amount of abuse you would get over a stupid repair or insurance claim was ridiculous!! One dickwad even threatened to kill us over a frickin computer repair lol and I thought that dieting would bring out the worst in someone :roll:

Oh and as for teaching you a thing or two, I should be asking you to teach me, you the one with the stage-time under your belt!!!

Insurance claims - GRRRRRR! :evil:

I might have stage time Manu, but still need to build some serious muscle, and as the title of the journal indicates, work on symmetry.

Focus is on building shoulders and lats (to assist in balancing out HUGE quads I have - bloody cycling!). Also due to a rotar cuff injury years ago there is a slight difference between shoulders - slight but noticable.

But, if there is ever anything I can help with - just let me know.
