It has been a while since I last put a blog up, I have been busy with work and moving house, which required a lot of refurbishment, building work etc, now the decortion is pretty much under control I can get back to training and focus on running my business 100%.
I have been running over the last few months and competed in the Liverpool 1/2 Marathon a few weeks ago, which was a very good event and well worth trying out.
Over the last 3 weeks I have moved onto weight training again, this stopped altogether with my house move etc, so it is good to get back. I am training somewhat differently this time by slowing all the movements down, so same exercises (predominately) but executing them slower and the strenghth gains have really been excellent.
Don’t get me wrong I am not going so slow I have to reduce the weight to much, but a couple of kilos less but perfect execution and taking just an extra 1-2 seconds during each lift with a split second hold at the half way point (takes all the momentum out and encourages the muscles to work that bit harder).
I still super or tri Set and don’t rest any longer between each rep, but execute the actual positive / negative part slower. Give it a go and feel the burn from rep 5 or 6 onwards.
Good luck and I promise not to leave it as long before the next post,
