Personal Trainer Northampton Blog

Yesterday I reached quite a proud moment in training.  I achieved deadlift with a weight of 130kg, which is the most ever.  This ties in with a better meal plan that I am taking, in an attempt to add good muscle mass alongside my training.  I feel my diet has suffered and maybe not bought the best from my training as a result.  I will document successes and failures of course along the way.  If any of oyu have undertaken a new or different regime this year, or in fact starting from scratch, I would love to hear from you.  Yesterdays back workout consisted of:

3x 6 reps of Deadlift

Set 1 = 90kg

Set2 = 110kg

Set = 130kg

Wasn’t easy though!

Followed by one arm dumbbell lifts and barbell pull overs, an exercise for the lats.  I had never tried before but found it very successful.  It is performed by lying on a bench, arms out above your head ( longways) with elbows bent and then bring the arms up and over, down toward the chest.  This should result in the back muscles being worked.  If you use a heavy weight, please have a spotter or training partner there with you.
