Beginning of week 9. Weight this morning was 15st 8, and that’s been the case for the last three days, so I think I can say I’m back on target. All good in that respect.

I completed all three cardio sessions last week, but not to full intensity – I was resting that hamstring. Fortunately it seems better now – still not quite 100%, but getting there. I intend to re-introduce the trampoline this week, but only in very short bursts (30 secs) to start with.

Strength on the bench press seems to be getting back to where it was. I introduced a little extra work last week which I think may have helped a little – a set of ‘strength’ press-ups (5 reps with feet elevated) and a set of ‘endurance’ press-ups (30 reps from the knees) – performed Mon and Fri after three sets of bench press and two sets of dumbbell overhead press. Deadlift strength seems unchanged.

So, a reasonable week overall, but I need to get back on track with the fitness – last week I coasted at best. That was due to the injury and wasn’t a serious setback, but I’m keen to start making progress again on the fitness front.
