I had planned on boxing today, but work schedule and family commitments didn't allow it. I don't like weight training in the evening as there are far too many gym bros pumping hard and high fiving at that time. I found 90 minutes between meetings to train.  90 minutes includinhg travel time is cutting it tight, but i managed to get a solid workout in with time to spare:

- High volume push day:
- Dumbell CHest Press + DB flys (Superset) x 3
- Dumbell pullover + dips on bench (superset) x 3
- Tricep pushdown (rope) + tricep extension (rope (superset) x 3
- Front deltoid raise with 20kg plate x 3
- Assisted dips x 3

The dips were the hightligh. I have been rehabilitating a rotator cuff injury for over 2 years now and these used to hurt a LOT. No pain yesterday!

I try to keep my gaps between sets short for high volume days which usually works out to be about 45 seconds which is the time it takes me to walk around the gym once. This adds about 2k steps for the day. With my usual morning and evening walks I hit just over 15k for the day.

My diet was clean for the day:
- fasted until 2pm (I had a shake at 10 the previous day, so a late start)
- protien fruit smoothie post workout + creatine + colegen  
- left over roash chicken for lunch with potatoes, corn, peas and carrots following my workout. 
- dinner was chicken again with chilli beans and tin tomatoes.  I try to limit carbs for the evening meal

A friend  of mine sent me a link to an Instagram post by the Masters Boxing Victoria (MBV). It was showing the 30+ people who went to the first training session on Sunday. If I'm honest, it scared me a little. Everyone looked fit and sharp. I'm not entirely sure what I expected, but I guess this just reminded me that this endevbour to box with these people isn't a joke.  I've been beating myself up a bit for not going to the training session and I can hear that doubting inner voice starting to tell me I'm out of my depth and not good enough...  Thew only way to know is to go train with these guys and I'll be doing that this coming SUnday.
