Senor Bairn Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Couple of guys in the gym last night were lifting stuff with outrageously bad form, one of them was doing stiff legged deadlifts with a belt for some reason and his back was arching so much I was wincing. He was quite big too, made me wonder if he was using chinese vitamins to compensate for his atrocious form.Great being huge as f**k but it’s not much use when you snap your back into two bits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe half of it if you're lucky. Fair enough, I'm just going by what I've seen on fitness sites/apps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They overstate what calories you burn quite considerably. The best (as in, least worst) way to estimate calories burned is using a Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) calculator.

It comes out at around 700-800 on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 The cycling's the hard bit for me, rowing was 4:02 and running was 8:59. Could probably get the running down to about 8 minutes. I don't particularly enjoy cycling at the best of times, let alone on an exercise bike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) 170 deadlift last night, quite pleased as it's not really a lift I do all that often, tried 180 but bailed it as I could feel I was starting to round my back. so that currently puts me at, 1.75 bodyweight Bench 1.75 bodyweight Squat 2.12 Bodyweight Deadlift Edited September 4, 2019 by staggy1929 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Last two trips to the gym I haven't bothered with cardio. Was far too hot on Saturday, and last night the place was rammed. Hopefully a little quieter tomorrow and I can have another shot at that triathlon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Not totally related to this but guess people in this thread might have done so : anyone done one of those Bupa / Nuffield/etc health checks and if so what was it like? Essentially I've been fucked with various injuries for about a year and a half, currently waiting NHS physio for my shoulder after a few GP visits but that's about the only thing I have outstanding now. Was thinking of paying one for of these health MOT things to try and see if there's any underlying issues in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of paying one for of these health MOT things to try and see if there's any underlying issues in general. I do a Nuffield one every six months or so, it is part of my membership so costs me f all. In summary it is quite useful and I saw great results when I shifted a load of weight but I am not sure what it would achieve in your circumstances. It will measure your blood sugar, cholesterol, body fat etc but I don't see how it would identify any underlying injuries. It is a PT that performs it as well so not a qualified physio. I wouldn't pay for one if it wasn't part of my membership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, probably just clutching at straws as I saw they had musculoskeletal and spinal assessment but I've done a fair bit of reading of reviews tonight and it doesn't seem worth spunking a few hundred quid on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
