Predominantly 30-45 minutes running. Hill sprints, intervals on an exercise bike Max time 45 minutes. No marathons here.

Stoke - Boy here :)

Avid Kettle bell fan here! Snatches, swings, windmills, high pull, Turkish get up, love them all.

Polar Vantage M watch. I've found this pretty accurate.

My KB routine hits 361 calories in just over 30 minutes. AMRAP program for 45 seconds with 45 seconds rest. All the major moves like Swings, Snatches, Goblet Squats, lunges etc with weights ranging from 20kg-28kg.

You can if you have an Android phone, with developer options enabled, and know how to disable absolute volume 👍

Get yourself a Bosu ball and Google Bosu exercises. Great bits of kit IMO.

Bose Soundsport. Banging sounds, super comfortable and battery life is excellent.

Anything I shouldn't have...... Especially cookies!

Definitely. I've noticed a definite change. I never used to feel the cold, but since I've dropped best part of 3 stone, I definitely feel the cold more.

Very well done!!

Creditble citation.... Really? Read my previous post again "Like I say, I wouldn't recomment, not that you MUST not:)" If you Squat heavy in a session, I mean where the you're not reaching your rep goal (failing 6/8 as an example), you will have some level of muscle fatigue. Could you seriously Deadlift to the same…

Bodyfat to 15% from the 19% I'm at now. Overall (Long-term) goal is 10%-12%.

Agree with this.

How long have you been cutting and how long do you plan on bulking? What sort of calories are you currently and planning to consume?

Hammer the Kettlebells 3 times a week, for 45-60 minutes. Current goals are fat loss while mainitaining strength. I suppose you could say I'm 'cutting', but I ain't no body builder.

It's not what you do in a day that matters. If you stray over your intake figure consistently, you will gain. Having the odd cheat day/meal is having a life! It would be boring not to enjoy things from time to time. Just as long as the cheat days/meals don't become a staple part of your regimen, theres no problem.…

Happy to be added and happy to add up.

Agree with this. You could also try some remedial work to strengthen the muscle groups involved in the lift.

Like I say, I wouldn't recomment, not that you MUST not :) When considering planes of movement, Deadlifts are hip dominant, where Squats are quad dominant. If you're moving good weight, you really should consider splitting as it gives you a fuller workout routine covering all 6 planes of movement.

Looking to clear my 42lb goal in the next few weeks thn review.

Once a week at the same time. First thing in the morning, fasted, post toilet. I really do not see the point i weighing yourself every day. Natural fluctualtion in body fluid/chemistry make this inaccurate at best. Much prefer a rolling average across the weeks.

Too many schools of thought on this. All with their own studies confirming effectiveness. I have a more simple approach. Time your calories when you need them. On waking, before/after training. Balance everything between.

I'll shoot fora dietry issue. Not eating enough to account for your energy expendeture. This combined with poor rest cycles.

Personally, wouldn't recommend squat and deadlifting in the same session. Both are potential heavy lift movements and really require their on focus.
