Day 143 --> M2 Day 61: First Trophy

Hey Shredders.

Today the Gym was holding a contest.
There were two categories,: "Mr. Bauchmuskel" and "Mr. Brustmuskel"
Of course thats in german, so for everyone but juli, ill translate real fast.
Bauchmuskel = abdominals(abs)
Brustmuskel = Chest Muscle(pecs)

For each we had to 4 exercises, with as many repetitions as we could in 1 minute.
We started with the four pec exercises.
First push ups for one minute
30 sec. rest
Butterfly curls for one minute
30 sec. rest
Benching 50 kg for one minute
30 sec. rest
And lastly Benching as much weight as you can at the machine, once, while the bench is bent to about 45 degrees.(weight was calculated with bodyweight for points)

I came in 3rd here.

Then the abs exercises.
First weighted, leg raises(laying down) 5 kg weight for one min
30 sec. rest
then you hang on the pull up bar and raise your leg, till your leg makes a 90 degree angle to your stomache. That for 1 min
30 sec. rest
crunches for 1 min.
30 sec rest
and lastly turning situps(elbow touches opposite knee)

And to my big surprize i actually won this one.

Its not a big gym, but hey, i beat people who have been training for more than 2 years, while im roughly at 4 and a half months into this now.lol

Thats all i did for fitness today.
I was invited to a big birthday party of a friend of mine, so i headed down there.
I had some alcohol for a change again, but didnt go overboard.

Pool closed at 5 pm today, and at that time i was getting home from the gym, so no swimming.

Well thats all for today.
Now that I look at it, a rather long post.

Shred on everyone

Danny
