Stellaboz Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Great work. It takes time but that's excellent progress. It also gets more difficult the lower you get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm going to try and not get too hung up on weight now. Keep working my plan and stay in a calorie deficit, focus on fitness/marathon training and the weight will hopefully come naturally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take progress pics and work off that. You will begin to properly notice after about 4 weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Went bonkers since recovering from ankle ligament injury. Kettlebell, resistance ropes and new exercise bike to add to gym three times and week and twice at the fives. Have also started eating more and getting proper sleep. Hoping to keep at this level for as long as I can go. Have already added a third on what I was lifting after a month. I think I was doing too much long cardio and not eating enough before. Intense shorter and heavier sessions suit me better. There’s no easy way unfortunately. :-( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will notice a huge difference 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between all the supplements I was taking - bcaa's, creatine, glutamine, protein and fat burners - it took me a while to realise that it was the bcaa's that were making me an angry bassa for no reason. I just take the protein and creatine now. I'm exactly the same with BCAA's. Taking Xtend during workouts. Came off it and continued taking protein, creatine and vit D3 and the random anger reduced. Strange as I've not really seen it listed as a drawback anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you Google 'BCAA anger' there are a few links to articles on them affecting mood and plenty of posts on fitness forums of users complaining of the same side effects. I also mentioned it to my sister-in-law who is a clued-up crossfit trainer and she said it's well known in her circles and started talking about them crossing the blood brain barrier or something but I started zoning out at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I can't stand creatine, it gives me the dry heave. Something about the silty texture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Went back to weight training for the first time in years tonight This seemed to be the place to ask for recommendations on workout tracking apps 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Still not had any angry episodes yet on bcaa. Pre workout makes me piss on stop though. I take that before fives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Anyone done the couch to 5k thing?Been a bit bored of my usual gym routine so thought I’d give it a go. After one run I’m not as bored of my old routine as I thought but I’ll stick with it for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Sorry to take this topic back to toilet talk, but hit my first real obstacle. Just lost over a stone and a half, and have found my routine almost addicting. Have found MyFitnessPal a massive help for counting calories. However developed some farmer giles since Saturday, and by God do they hurt. Went for a 4 mile run this morning and whilst they ached, the running took my mind off them a bit. Got into work and been sat at my desk for a few hours and the pain is horrendous. Apparently running and weight lifting can cause strain but I don't want to get out the routine by stopping whilst they clear up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've come from bad squat form but only really started to cramp about 5 days later. Anyone had this? Anyone got tips on minimising the waves of cramps? Seems to be worse for me in the mornings than relaxes a bit after lunch. My sister-in-law swears by magnesium supplements for cramps. She said she used to get them all the time - she's a mad squatter with thighs like tree trunks - but says she mixes the powder in her drink before bed and doesn't suffer anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Going for a little bit of weight loss again, as over the past 2 years I’ve just not really been paying attention to what I eat. Jumped from 10.5/11 stone to 13 and even if it’s the heaviest I’ve been, and I’m still looking relatively not fat, I want to get down to around 11.5 stone in 2/3 months. Going for a calorie deficit (as anyone should) diet and heavy cardio + football. However I’m wanting to avoid pasta/rice a bit as I’ve been getting bloated eating them recently. Any suggestions on what I can have beside chicken/steak etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
