ICTChris Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I've been doing variations of the deadlift, squat, press and bench for the lsat couple of years. Am thinking I should maybe change things up a little as might be good to try something different. Dunno if I should add in more cardio - I generally try and get in one or two tabata sessions a week on the bike, considering adding in some more steady state stuff. Am also thinking about adding in some dumbell work. Anyone got any good programmes for this stuff? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High fat/low carb diet. Every meal's tasty but I'm not that keen on carbs anyway so easy for me to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 After getting down from 11st 12 at the start of the summer to 11st last week, I've come back from five days at Haggerston Castle to weigh myself at 12st 2lb I know I haven't put on a stone, but I've been eating nothing but shite and have done hardly any exercise. A lot of high-carb, high-salt foods so I'll be storing a lot of water right now. Back on it from tomorrow - seven weeks until the Scottish Half Marathon, want to be under 12% bodyfat by then (not really bothered about the weight). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazza Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Gotten down from 18 st to 15 in last 6 months only eating bread if low cal sandwich and avoiding crisps and sweets. Had good regime of going out just about every night for 2 hours for walk. Struggling to to find the time to quite keep to that though will try to. Would like to maybe do some upper body stuff and thinking longer term towards winter maybe. Do like the idea of maybe a personal trainer. I have tried the gym before maybe now I've a better starting point it might be worth giving another go. Maybe something a bit social too would be good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) @staggy1929 Now show me yours brother!!!! Please accept the last 100m as being the difference netween mapometer and strava! Pretty happy with the pace as I was running a wee bit within myself to make sure I got the distance. Gave away about a minute with 2 x 30 sec walks in the last 2km aswell. Plenty room to improve so its a wee bit of a confidence boost Edited August 11, 2019 by Bairnardo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Done an injury to my rib playing football over the weekend. Appears it’s cracked. Can’t run, can’t lift weights and been told not to do anything that requires heavy breathing. [emoji17][emoji17][emoji17][emoji17] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Struggling to stick with the cardio at the moment, last 3 or 4 gym visits have been weights only. Hopefully now that heat wave has fucked off I will be able to get back to it but even last night I simply could not be fucked. If I get away from work early enough tonight my plan is to force myself into doing 5k. Will see how it goes... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 This thread gives me some great motivation to get back running regularly, been focussing more on the weights as well as HIIT Workouts such as Metafit. Did 2.4 miles today with the kids ahead of me on the bike. 7.23 average per mile. I really should try another 10 K soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 can't remember if I mentioned it but Thursday last week I hit 2 new PB's on bench (I train other things I promise) 100kg for 12 reps and 120kg for 5 reps tried 130 for 2 but got stuck halfway on the second one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 That's a decent time per mile if you've started from nothing!Not at all. Been running 5Ks etc for years., 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
