Back at the gym !

 

I got to the staff car park the cold wind hit me and I was very tempted to take today as a recovery day. I got in the car and thought about going and buying lunch there’s a takeaway that does fish n’ chips for £7 at lunch time. 

I’ve put that down as a treat for tomorrow on the way home instead. I did get to the gym and started off with rowing a nice pace just to get some blood moving around. 

It was on to a back routine starting with dead lift not heavy just a bar plus 20kg good form and nice a slow, I upped the weight a bit and added another 10kg and finished off. 

On to some rowing on the machine just 33kg to start moving up to 50kg it’s a nice comfortable weight.

Cable rowing next and narrow grip, starting at 42kg and working up to 57kg over 7 sets 

Rear delt pulls with the rope on the cable machine next, only light it’s about catching it just right with the form, 13.5kg a side moving up to 21kg 

Lat pull downs on the machine starting with 42.5kg and moving up to 60kg a bit of a struggle at the end but worth it. 

Bent over rows for the last, nice and slow with the set bars first 17.5kg the the 20kg to finish. 

It all went really well I’m glad I went and I’m not sitting here full of fish n’ chips feeling like I failed. It’s been four big days of exercise so tomorrow is a structured recovery day. Ummm fish n’ chips on the way home I’m not sure !

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ
