So I woke up this morning and thought I'd get a few photos up of part of my occasional arms routine.
I first did a few stretches on the edge of my bed for my legs and arms and a few stomach muscle tenses before the clumsy, controlled stagger downstairs to my chair. Accompanied by Loki after our cuddles routine on the landing. Knackered by the time I reached my chair so rested there for a few seconds before letting the beast out into the White Room. Dee made us some poached eggs on bagels and a nice cup of coffee.
Was looking forward to see if Trump gets indicted and watching Boris lie his way through his questioning (which is on as I'm typing this).
First exercise was punching/jabbing with the weights which I do 20 with each arm (and as many sets as my fatigue lets me do). And wearing my Lambretta hooded top (sorry to all the bikers [not] as I mixed with Punks, Mods, Bikers or anyone else that didn't want to try to fight me lol).
Followed up with side lifts x20 and twin fist vertical punch x20. Admittedly the weights are far lighter than I used 10-12 years ago but illness and aging really f##k up your plans.
Followed by curls x20, tricep raises (can't remember the proper name) x20 and side bends x10 each side.
I make sure there are no obstacles near to me, my chair is turned off and the arms are raised behind me. I was hoping to get more photos and maybe videos but my photographer (Dee) had to get ready to spend the afternoon in the "Makers Store", Copperhouse, Hayle and as she is still suffering (awaiting X-Ray results, Blood tests next week and awaiting a date for an MRI) I had to help her with some of her clothing.
When she left I switched on my PS4 for a few games of Warface but I was doing crap so went and loaded up the dishwasher and then decided to do my blog.
Still listening to Boris the bullshitter talking crap on the BBC news channel and going to end here and have a cuppa.
