Postie's 2013 Transformation

I am finally back into training after 2 1/2 weeks off. I fell off the top rung of a 2.4m step ladder and landed on all fours onto concrete. Unfortunately my right knee took most of the impact. Luckily no broken bones (A few bruised ribs) but my knee is still twice the size of the other one and I cannot bend it fully. I went for an ultrasound the other day and they said it is just full of blood and may take months to go down.

I have decided it is time to improve my diet. For the last few months I have been watching what I eat but have now decided to be more strict. I have decided to do the TKD diet. This appeals to me because of the allowed carbs before and after a workout. As I work out just before dinner it allows me to be a little relaxed on the carbs for that meal. (It is hard when you have 4 kids).

Hey Postie,
I would throw in some side raises, or omit the upright rows in favour of these.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the advice mate. I will give it a go. I have been thinking that doing both Upright Rows and Shrugs was a bit of an overkill anyway.
