Today I had a truly excellent workout.
I've started to get really into this idea of Strength Training. I think it's because often my "hobbies" are more cardio based - like cycling, or mountain biking, or hiking, or even running (which is not so much a hobby but a think i try to do sometimes).
There is something fun about going to the gym and throwing around weights and looking awesome and seeing yourself get stronger.
I used a 10kg bar today for bicep curls and it was too light. I did my 10 sets easy.
Tonight I used a guest gym at DW fitness. Saturday night at 7pm is an odd time to go to the gym, and the floor was full of muscle people, but I didn't care. I did my totally awesome weights routine 2, which is the new workout Geraint and I do (the old one is HERE)

I love this routine. I love how it puts 3 exercises together and I love how I get to lift heavy things. I like the Clean and Press most because it makes me feel awesome.
This evening I modified it slightly, I didn't do the last core bit but instead did the following:
