Re: The new improved fitness thread
102.5kg on the Squat this morning.
87.5kg on the bench press.
Power cleans at 40kg, the first one of which I forgot about perfect form and bounced the bar off my knee cap. That was uncomfortable.
Finished off with 3 sets of pull ups.
Injuries and niggles have kept me from going last week, fingers crossed I can stay pain free for a bit.

Re: The new improved fitness thread
First week of diet and gym and I lost 2.7kg (6lbs).
Doing well on the diet this week though I'll only be doing the gym twice unfortunately. Still doing my 20 (crosstrainer), 20 (bike), 30 (total body).

Re: The new improved fitness thread
Had a much needed session with my PT. It was now therapy than exercise, I needed to chat shit and throw some weights about.

Re: The new improved fitness thread
That’s the best kind of MH therapy, sorts shit right out.
In other news, I went for a 2 mile run last night in 0C temperatures, was my first run in about 6 months - today has been fun when faced with stairs...

Re: The new improved fitness thread
I signed up with a running coach I know for a marathon training plan. The idea is to get a decent PB at Brighton in April.
I got the plan this week, all I can say is **** hell. It's been nice knowing you all.

Re: The new improved fitness thread
My PT pal has asked me and Sam to try a 12 week programme. All it's designed to do is to show that you can make changes to your body shape without having to go drastic with the diet and/or exercise. What he's looking for is enough difference from start to finish for people to realise that you can easily make a difference in how you look.
I'm on a carb cycling diet, so I start off with 200g of carbs, then 150, then 100, then back up to 150 then 200. Day 6 is eat what you like say. Day 7 is 150g. For a couple of days I'm fasting until midday. So nil by mouth from 8pm to midday. At lunch I eat half of my calorie intake.
I train as normal or I can follow one of his 3 day a week plans. He reckons you don't have to be too fixed with the exercise regime just so long as you're exercising. Cardio should play a part at least once a week.
So today is day 1.
My aim is to lose my spare tyre. I'll let you know how I get on.

Re: The new improved fitness thread
I need to do something like this. Badly.
It's not like I'm lacking for spare time....but my motivation is at next to zero at the moment.
