My training has been going well since I’ve been back in Australia. At a minimum I’ve maintained the size I put on in the states and friends have started to note that certain weak body parts are growing bigger. I have however had a few set-backs or obstacles if you will, which I am overcoming at present. Of course a week and a half ago I suffered a calf strain while doing seated calf raises (and it has been healing well). Yesterday I was unlucky again.

Friday was an eventful day. I woke up at 7 am to go train chest with Will Harris at 8 am. I was a little tired from the early wake up but Will made sure that I woke up in a snap. There is nothing like an early morning training session to get yourself going for the day.

I rode my bike through a horrible cold wind that blew sand into my face the whole way making visibility difficult. I was going to meet Ofer Samra at the gym at 1 pm. When training me yesterday Ofer had asked me for a favour. You see he is an artist and does beautiful oil paintings in his spare time. He wanted to take some photos of me to use for inspiration in his artworks. I was happy to oblige. I said hello to a few friends around the gym before I met Ofer and we got started.

I walked into Gold’s Venice this morning intending to train legs. Ofer Samra however had a different idea. He said we had already done a big leg session and he wanted to show me a few ways of training back that I could take home with me. This sounded like a fair idea. Secretly I was kind of glad because our last leg training session was so difficult. I mean that in a good way because leg training should be intense. I just think Ofer is so scientific with his training methods that you end up going through a whole lot of pain, as I was about to find out in our back training session.

I met with Hassan at 1 pm to train chest. We both thought we should take the advice Jerome had given me and start with incline exercises to burn out the upper chest first. A big part of my lack of upper chest development is because I tend to perform flat exercises first and incline exercises second. That way the upper chest is always tired by the time I get to it and never really has a chance to get the stimulation it requires to grow.
