Well today’s weight training session got a bit messed up. I ended up running out of time and trained with one of my clients – the only problem was I ended up doing what they were doing which repeated some of the same movement patterns as I did yesterday.

Any way here it is:

AM: Weight Training Session

A1 Squats with dumbbells – to sitting on bench (2×15)
A2 DB bench press with double leg stretch (2×15)
A3 Alternating Bent over Row – db’s (2×15LR)

B1 Walking Lunges with knee up and skip (2×10LR)
B2 Lat Pulldown – wide overhand (2×15)
B3 Push Press – barbell (2×15)

C Biceps rope curl – drop set (10,10,10)

D Triceps rope press down – drop set (10,10,10)

Ab circuit
E1 Supine 90 crunch with medicine ball (20)
E2 Squirms (20,20)
E3 Reverse Crunch (10)

PM: 45 minutes run

Steady paced run – training my wife to run a half marathon (it’s the longest she’s ever run for today…I’m very proud of her).

So not an ideal day of training but I made it work for me. It takes me back to my first rule of training – being consistent.

It’s been 10 years at the end of the month since I quit professional rugby and I have a desire to get back and play this September (all be it at an amateur rugby level……I’m getting on a bit!!)

I’ll be adding some of the above exercises to my weight training technique website that is undergoing some beta testing at the moment.
