I worshipped at the altar
of the Muscle Gods....lol and they let a dirty natty like me infiltrate - Muahahahahaha!!!!! 
Ahem........
Anyhow, it all went a bit like this.....Yesterday I was on an exciting Export Control course in Oxford, so I stayed over last night....while looking at the map, I realised Oxford isn't that far from Swindon, so I thought I'd pay a trip to http://www.ironworxgym.co.uk/ to breathe in the testosterone filled air and get HUGE!
The cold hasn't materialised (yet), and I felt OK, so I turned right, instead of left when I got off the A34......
Quite happily admit I felt somewhat nervous going in there, but apart from a couple of funny looks, it was all good. Stared off by stripping someone's weights off his bar - oops! He took it remarkably well and kept an eye on my squats - and yes he told me my form was good lol, though I needed to go deeper
Decided it was going to be a full leg workout as they had a leg press I could use, and I got a PB on that too.......
And they played LOUD heavy metal - Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth, Coal Chamber, Rammstein, Slayer...I nearly weed myself!!!
And it was worth it to see 'He of little Faith's face when he turned up
Never let it be said I'm all mouth and no trousers....
To the workout......
Squats
40kg 1x10

No cardio, cos there's no equipment - now that's my kind of gym!!!!
Food went tits up because I spent ages battling the Oxford car unfriendly one way/pedestrianised/bus only system and cyclists before finding out I'd been given the wrong address for the hotel!!!
Food.....
1. Porridge, raisins, 1 scoop whey
2. Stewed steak and veg
3. Tuna and tomato sandwich (try fitting 4oz tuna between 2 slices of bread lol)
4. Nut bar (naughty but was hungry and petrol stations aren't known for their healthy options)
5. PWO shake
6. Oaty flapjack (oops)
Yesterday isn't even worth going into - after the hotel I was in started breakfast late (I would have had to wait 20 mins for a fry up or porridge, dammit) I had to have carb-fest - ah well...
1. Fruit - grapefruit, pineapple and yoghurt, wholemeal toast,tea
2. Tea and half a cookie (was ravenous!)
3. Ham from the carvery, couple of new potatoes, broccoli, apple (trust me this was the best option)
4. Bag of peanuts (yay petrol stations lol)
5. Tuna and veg
No gym yesterday, so that's 2 days of cardio missed, but did my cardio today. Not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow - we'll see how my throat holds up!
And if ya want to see something funny lol - I'm in the red looking a mong as ever!
