Stupid thing to do.

Really really bad idea.

 

[Billargh]

What Scouse said. Speaking from experience you should never do that.

You should really rest it off mate, you said yourself you'd take a months rest if it continues. The half marathon isn't worth it.

Will run on Tuesday and if it twinges again ill rest it whole of jan.

What is amusing about that video is that men are now such pussy whipped little bitches that they even respond to that.

If those men spent less time in the gym worrying about their self esteem and more time in the pub learning conversational skills then perhaps they'd have had a single funny comeback between them. But they didn't.

Did I say "amusing"? I meant depressing

 

[Aoami]

thats how i see everyone who goes to the gym

 

[Lethul]

Has to be the worst "prank" video I have ever seen

If you could lift you wouldn't say that

 

[Bahumat]

Overdriven did you just say that? Oh no you didn't. Oh yes you did. Dang

 

[Lethul]

If you could lift you wouldn't say that

Say that again and I'll kick your ass!

Yes true but seem to find running addictive.

See above

Yeh heard that, he only eats breakfast and dinner but I can't seem to wait all day so I crafted mine around 3 meals.

 

[Overdriven]

Mmmm, how many of you eat back your calories?

500 kcal deficit for me is 1,800kcal - Which is simple enough. If I do any cardio on top of that, plus maintaining 150g (close enough to LBM in lbs) of protein I should logically start dropping weight (Not taking into consideration weight training, which I realllly need to get back into) maybe just over 1lbs or so a week. 5 1/2kg of (logically) fat in 3 months.

[Not taking into consideration other dietary factors etc]

 

[Scouse]

Mmmm, how many of you eat back your calories?

Some weeks probably. But I'm not doing it to lose weight particularly - though that's a happy bonus.

I definitely feel better and sharper (measurably so on fast days) than I did before.

 

[Appollo]

190 this morning, 3 days of fasting this week. Amazing how much weight differed in 3 days:

Monday 200
Tuesday 196
Wednesday 196
Thursday 194
Friday 192
Saturday 190

Fasted mon weds fri

 

[ECA]

I dunno what your diet is but I dropped almost 9lb in 2 days after coming back from holiday and going from heavy carbs to keto again. It was all water weight.

 

[Appollo]

Normally I fast mon weds and eat carefully tues thurs fri and eat wot ever sat sun. This week I fasted fri as well and I'll do the same next week. It's my bday weds and I'm eating out sat so wanna have a big push this week. I'm also 1 pound off my goal of 4 stone weight loss (56lb) so I'm very very close

 

[Appollo]

Btw on keto do you piss on strips to check status?

 

[ECA]

No. As long as your carb intake is <20g/day and not all at once you'll be in keto.

 

[Gumbo]

Starting the infomercialtastic Insanity on Monday. Had good results with P90X on the run up to Christmas. Massive strength and flexibility gains. Hoping for similar cardio fitness gains over the next 60 days and good bf % results too.

 

[Nate]

Yeah make sure your bf has a good % of receiving gumbo, always gets the best results.

 

[TdC]

Btw on keto do you piss on strips to check status?

no, that's for people who need to see things to believe them. what ECA said tbh.

 

[Appollo]

Gonna start P90X in a couple of weeks depending on physio

Excellent, I really enjoyed it. I made the mistake of not going as hard as I could for the first few weeks, I was afraid of injuring myself and screwing it up, but then I am old. In the last phase I really gave it my all, and I feel I learnt how hard I could push myself and got really good results. Try to join a challenge group on Beachbody.com. There will be a bunch of people doing the workouts at the same time as you, so will share questions and experiences. It will help a lot.

The workout which gave me the most benefit was the Yoga. I hated it on the first week, by the third week I could tolerate it, and by the 5th week I couldn't wait to do it.

I'm 37 years old and towards the end of P90X I was monkeying around on the I beams in the workshop at work, doing cranes in strange places and showing the lads odd press ups.

My other half did it too and we now have a saying in our house when we do something fairly strenuous with ease, "Thank you Tony Horton".

You just have to embrace the cheesiness of it, it does really work.
