The Weightloss/ Getting Fit Thread!

* hit another plateau, got down to 171 went on a binge now I've been stuck on 173.2lbs.

Due doing a DNP cycle

 

Plateau broke

172.2lbs this morning, 6lbs from my target weight.

Skipped leg day today as I wasn't feeling it, done some low intensity cardio on the treadmill 45mins fast walk on an incline.

Keep seeing Elliot Hulse raving about it in videos but feel a bit of a plum going to the gym to walk

Hopefully weather is decent tomorrow and can get a 10k in.

Weekends are a nightmare for me to keep my diet strict, have the discipline of a soldier during the week but boredom at the weekend usually * it and when I get that first taste of something sweet it's all down hill from there.

 

The *'s that?

Dunno what it is the now with me, but I cannot shift this bloated feeling. All I'm drinking is water, and very little dairy/wheat/sugar.

Blasting the weights and doing HIIT on the rowing machine (love it), yet still feeling bloated to *......what's the craic?

 

Well usually dairy/wheat/sugar is the culprite so no idea tbh.

It's a tad dodgy https://www.theguardian.com/science...6/dnp-deadly-weight-loss-drug-science-history

 

* that *!

Would rather go anorexic ffs!

 

Thanks for this. Going to start my routine tonight, as I'm finally done my 20/22 day streak of work/school.

Looking forward to getting back into proper shape. Currently weigh 135 pounds soaking wet, at 5'9. So weak and atrophied it's unbelievable. No excuses now.

 

That's about 60kg? You're underweight.

 

Very. I genuinely eat healthy but not nearly enough. Need to push myself to eat more, more often,just as much as I need to hit the gym.

 

It could be that you have a very fast metabolism. As long as you feel healthy and eat nutritious food then I wouldn't worry.

 

So kinda hit a massive milestone this morning, finally under 170lbs, 169.2lbs my lowest ever weight since I grew up and past 169lbs

Such a mental relief to break that number considering where I was at a few years ago, I could even post a pukki party gif

 

On yersel champ!!!

What's yer gym routine btw, sounds like it's working a treat.

 

Cheers.

I pretty much follow this 4 day split routine https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/tried-and-true-bodybuilding-program-template with some slight variations sometimes.

End every session with 20-30 mins cardio and on the Wednesday and Saturday will do about 1 hour cardio.

 

Good man, I'll have a right good read at that.

My ankle is proper *, so running is out for me. Been doing between 20-30mins of HIIT cardio after weight training on the rowing machine, feeling the benefits of it now.

 

Aye the rowing machine is probably the best bit of cardio equipment.

I never use it can run at a good pace for an hour but put me on a rower and my * is burst after 10 mins!

 

I love the * thing

Always get a wee chuckle when I've got the rebs playlist blasting through my ears, and there I am rowing away when Uncle Nobby's Steamboat comes on

 

Whats the consensus on how often ou should work out in a week. I've been feeling so motivated as of late, and I've been rotating between a day on and off.

I want to get to the gym more, but I've read up on the importance of letting your body rest and regenerate. Would it be a bad idea to get going 5-6 days a week?

 

Send the weight ye loss my way im bulking

 

Depends on the person mate, if you recover quick enough and eating enough.

I personally do strength training and work shifts mine is erratic but always is 4 days per week.

You could do 3/4 days weights and go and do cardio 1/2 days of you want to go to the gym more instead of adding it after weights.

Mobility and recovery work after sessions also very important.

 

I've been cutting for years I don't think I have it in me to eat a calorie surplus will see where I am when I hit my target weight.

You bulking or "bulking bulking"

 

Protein shakes are a good investment.
