Walter Kidd Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 As a career fat bassa, I recently purchased a cross trainer for the house. Going ok so far, packed the fags in also which helps as I am feeling much better because of that. I did 10k on the cross trainer last night, which took me 25 minutes. I'm assuming that it isn't a real 10k in that time though. As I've got athritis in my knees I can't really go out pounding the streets as they really hurt if I do that. Any training plans that people have would help me achieve my goals of getting back to my fighting weight of 12 and a half stone, which I was when I was playing football in the 90's. I also do 6 miles on my bike on a Sunday morning. Cheers if you could pm me and I will send you my email address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Lurker Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Ran 7k in around 50 minutes today; pretty shan time considering that I used to be able to do a half marathon in around twice that, but I haven't been out roadrunning since August and would imagine that I'll be able to step it back up again pretty quickly. Good to be back doing proper cardio again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaby Ewing Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Finally got round to joining a gym over here and it's right by my subway stop on my way home so should encourage me to go straight after work. On Saturday did 20 mins core work, 40 odd minutes on the weights then 5km on the treadmill in 25 mins dead (1.5 percent gradient). Was happy with the running effort as I haven't tried a 'fast' run for months, but I've lost a fair bit of strength having not lifted since September. As it was the first time back went for lighter weights and higher reps just to get the muscles back in the swing of things. I'm a long way from ten pull-ups though. Did another 20 mins core + 35 mins weights yesterday and no real pain today -- apart from a wee twinge in my lower back so may lay-off any back exercises for a few days and throw in some extra stretching. If I can manage three sessions a week + a bit of extra running (or finally find a fives team) over the winter I'll be happy. My diet will remain relatively poor throughout this plan.

UnworthyPapaLazaru Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just booked myself on a pilates class. Anyone tried/ do it regular? Any good? It's a free taster session so give me a chance to try before I buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Plissken Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Some deep squats followed by the bench press yesterday. I injured my foot on Saturday so cardio is out this week, hope to get back to it next week. In the meantime I'm concentrating on compound workouts at lunchtimes. I'm going to put a lot more into squats and deadlifts, yesterday I was doing 90kg squats (I only weigh about 68) with very strict form. Not sure about today's workout, probably some shoulder work.

Bigsmak Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I've lost 4 pounds this year so far and am under 14 stone for the first time in maybe 5 or 6 years. Been playing Badminton with friends at least once a week, went for the first run of the year this morning. And.....And... playing on my x-box Kinect is getting a sweat up a couple times a week. Watching what I eat with regards to Calories and quality of the food is helping a hell of a lot. i.e no chocolate biscuits and excessive snacking. Goal - 12 and a half stone (or less) by July 1st. Started Jan 1st at 14st 3 pounds. 19th Jan - 13 Stone 13 On Target! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Lurker Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Had a rest day today, which is just as well as my glutes are still hurting from Monday! I reckon that that's part of why I did so poorly in my run yesterday. Hopefully they'll be okay in time for Muay Thai tomorrow, or I may be kicking rather poorly.

sked21 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I don't have the time am too lazy to look through the thread so it may have already been asked/mentioned. Where do folk buy their protein shakes etc from? When I come out the gym I usually buy one from the gym itself but a) I don't think it's the greatest and it is quite costly compared to buying a tub. Also what to people recommend as the best. I go to the gym 3/4 a week and do weights but I don't want to get massive. Just add strength and power (I play football) while keeping myself toned.

One of those guys who can't box for shit but thinks he's the bees knees, and therefore tries to blame his poor technique on the way you're holding the pads, even though he's already asked you to hold them in about six different ways and still had shit technique every time.

When I moved away, my next experience was much like you described above - getting preached to by people who were as incompetent as me.

I actually love the training (short, high intensity workouts are, for me, definitely the best way of improving all round fitness) and have in general been really impressed with the club I'm training at, just had one bad training partner! In general, the standard does vary: there are some guys who're really good and some beginners, but generally everyone has a pretty realistic idea of where they are. High intensity interval training today, purely cardio. In a strange, masochistic way I'm actually looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it a few times already on this thread but swimming is the way forward. No impact on your knees and a great all round exercise for weight loss. If you prefer the gym option, try working the major muscles (chest, legs, shoulders, back, core etc) doing 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps. The best training plan depends on whether or not you have access to a gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Cheers mate, I actually don't find it that difficult to stick to as I enjoy everything that I eat! I do give myself a day off every week to 10 days, though, although there's a legitimate reason for that in that it actually speeds up your metabolism by keeping your body guessing. It's generally based around alcohol and takeaways... I'm thinking that I'll move back up to 2,500 calories a day on Sunday. Can't wait! Would've been right up for this if posted a bit earlier! I'm only in Edinburgh four days a week now, though, and I'm doing MT here and using the gym over in Stirling. Still happy to fire you some free passes if you drop me a PM, for when you're here and can't make MT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Just booked myself on a pilates class. Anyone tried/ do it regular? Any good? It's a free taster session so give me a chance to try before I buy. Pilates is very good for you and helps build your core strength and improves your flexibility (which is something most men ignore too much). As it doesn't give you the burn or get your heart going it does feel like you haven't done much (especially if you don't do it properly first time you try it) but the stretches are hard work and you will feel it in your stomach the next day when you've been doing the plank.... I did it a few times and always had to go for a swim or to the gym afterwards to make myself feel like I'd had a work out but it is a great thing to combine with other exercise.

That'd be very much appreciated, and I might just take you up on it at some point. Thanks. On topic, I'm definitely feeling the benefits of my recent changes to my training programme. I'd been tiring myself out previously by training in two different styles which basically weren't very compatible, whereas now my gym work's complimenting Muay Thai perfectly. Thinking of going to the gym less and Muay Thai more in the next couple of months, though. Edited January 30, 2011 by Creepy Lurker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Lurker Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Over the course of five days in Paris, I've managed to put on 5lbs despite running two 10ks and doing three fairly intense bodyweight circuits whilst there. Not a major worry as I'm in absolutely no danger of getting fat, although next week's my first back at uni so will probably be another heavy one. Sticking rigidly to the regime at all other times!

You're an idiot. You should only be taking around 160g per day. More won't do any harm (within reason), but it certainly won't do any good either. 1g protein = 4 kcal 1g carbohydrate = 4 kcal 1g fat = 9 kcal I'm not trying to gain, I'm trying to lose after my holiday to get back down to the lightweight division, so I'm taking on 2,000 kcal a day. Given that I weigh around 64kg at the moment, that means I need around 128g protein. 128 x 4 = 512 kcal, but there'd be no point in being that anal about it, so I bump it down to 125g. That's 500 kcal, or 25% of my daily intake. I aim to get 20% from fat, which is 400g. 400/9 = 44.4, so that's 44.4g fat a day. That leaves 55% to come from carbs, or 1,100 calories. 1100/4 = 275g. So 125g protein, 275g carbs, 44.4g fat. Given that you weigh 80kg and should be aiming for around 3,000 kcal a day to gain weight, your 2g per kg of bodyweight would be 160g daily, which is 640 calories or 21.3% of your intake. I'd bump that up to 165g daily, which is 660 kcal or 22%. 20% fat = 3000 x 0.2 = 600 kcal. 600/9 = 66.7g. That leaves 58% to come from carbs. 3000 x 0.58 = 1740. 1740/4 = 435g carbs. So what you'd be taking on per day if you were less stupid would be 165g protein, 435g carbs and 66.7g fat to gain lean bulk. Basically, you know **** all about nutrition and aren't interested in learning. That's why you're always on about supplements and 'high protein diets'. Do some research, please.

Ragnar Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yep, I think your stats mentioned earlier speak for itself, 140lbs i think it was? My goal is to gain muscle yes, something I've done very well over the past 2 years. The ideal amount of protein for gaining muscle is 1.5-2g per pound of bodyweight. If I have been taking 160g per day as you think is suitable, no way would I have seen such gains. And always on about supplements? My theory has always been Food > Any supplement. What's wrong with reccommending supplements to people? Go on any fitness forum and you will see the ideal amount of protein to gain muscle is 1.5-2g per pound Another one of the keyboard gangsters thinking they know about nutrition etc, annoying.

Ragnar Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Can't believe you're actually saying for gaining muscle I would only have to take 160 grams of protein. Please visit any forum even a ******* google for a last resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please visit any forum even a ******* google for a last resort. You keep telling me to Google this.
