i`m Ant, been on here years. initially used it to loose 6 stone - used to do the message boards a lot but it phased out, back to share some witty banter. anyone can add me if they eat and are happy. B)

did you used to do compound moves, dips, pull ups, sqauts, deadlifts on a defecit?

Looking fab matey, glad to see you back

forget and app! choose a weight you can only just complete the 5 reps on the first set, all with good from. Start the sets, by the forth set you should be struggling to complete the 5th rep. If you are doing it right you should only just about be able to complete the 4th rep on the 5th set. i would recommend 5x5 once per…

That`s the Yank mentality towards internet forums i`m afraid, everything must turn into a war... the trick is to remember with the internet is to believe nothing of what you read and only half of any photograph you see!! above all this is a virtual space and people have virtual personalities, usually the nasty people are…

ello! another welsh person here... add away i`m looking for some new hardcorists

To be fair calories are a pretty useless unit of measure anyway, if you are counting calories to the Nth degree there will always be a factor of error even the foodstuff may be more calorie rich than claimed..... however....40% is a high discrepancy! why not trim the V02 max number down manually so that the burn matches…

can i open my eyes now? joking... you should stop this fairground mirror syndrome, you are very pretty and going by the ticker below a strong minded woman, determined and goal orientated.

could this high reading be a spike/interference or a slipping hrm strap, does it shoot from 150 thu to 200 and drop instantly or id it steady at 200 for a number of minutes?

ASK, ASK, ASK.... life is a learning curve nobody knows everything, this way you`ll make connections for the next time you want support with your form, injuries or even a shoulder to cry on...

i think you`ve hit the nail on the head there... if im going to pay i may awsell join a fancy county club place away from the chavs! and ive found a lovely reasonably equipped place not too far away.

i hate any exercise that has any form of co-ordination related to it, Zumba, boxercise, aerobics.... i simply think i look like a fool! - so i don`t do it, if actually participate in it i dont try! .. However, i also hate all types of static cardio - i choose to cycle nowadays with Gym for weight training i could not do 1…

i find that stationary cycling can be really boring unless you have a workout plan, i,e intervals at high Hr to probably 80% or higher for given periods and then recovery periods. 5 min on 2 min off (5 sets) the fact you have to concentrate getting over the burning sensation in you legs and breathing effectively takes away…

RF - radio frequency the normal method of conversation between sensor and logger. i do have a spare H7 and my friends have FT4&7 watches if you would like me to try those out?

i do know the H7 works with RF and bluetooth, i have had it working with cheap HRM watches and all the cardio machines in our gym.. i`ve gone from H7 to H6 recently because it is lighter and smaller and that has the same functionality

i would end up eating my own arm or fainting if had that little amount of energy to survive on. try it, but when you have weekends where you feel like complete trash and you don't feel like getting up on sunday/monday morning put it back :) out of interest what intensity are your working out at and what would be your goal…

Good positive statement, write it on your fridge door!! yo-yos are plain and simply nutrition, this is what you need to address ans sustain. workouts are for fun, do not think you have to workout to be able to eat - you should eat to workout!

Currently my stomach is telling me that it needs food....logically thinking ive consumed 3200 calories today and worked off about 1300... I AM NOT HUNGRY, i do not need energy... i am however very very bored and i could nail a truck load of carbs... since food is in abundance our the house i feel the urge to go and get…

im not a runner but once did a fitness test for running just after an hour spin class, it was called the cooper test. i completed 2700 meters in 12 mins - which equates to 7.06 mins per mile.... This was an all out fitness test and a did actually go sick after it. not bad for an ex 280lb fatty bom bom who used to be out of…

Ah I see, do you change your track, surf the web or have a chat with your gym buddy? I personally sit there staring at people looking like I've just killed myself on the previous set, at the point it take a few mins to get over the previous set, all I am concerned about is me, myself and I

Hiya, I'm Ant from wales! I do a lot of workouts and an totally on it... Add away :)

Thing is if we have enough time to realise that someone is talking at the top of their voice we prob aren't working hard enough :)

i too am a low grade social misfit who likes to be invisible... but this year i`m going to take a newbie under my wing and make them HURT!!! thus being totally helpful to the person, practicing my social skills and also loving the laughs at otherpeoples DOMS

My rule is that if i can do over 60 seconds i am wasting time, i could be doing something else like weighted side bends i get a back pack, fill it with bottles of water/Dumbells etc and make sure i fail within 60 seconds i try to build the core strength rather than its endurance :)

i remember when i managed to get enough courage to use an elliptical machine; advancing from a sit down bike... i lasted 4 mins... you will be in pain until your muscles get used to being used, once you are through this it will get easier.... you should work out / rest on alternating days until your muscles have adjusted…

I only ever use full fat coke,........ For cleaning oil off the driveway..... Apparently the chemical sweeteners in the diet versions also cause cancer, according to my aunt

Buy a used commercial machine... go test it out prior to payment and you`re onto a winner.. over here we can get 5-8 year old ex gym equipment at very reasonable prices.

the ones who say "i lost 10lbs in a week with [name your diet]" i always jump in with... were you stiffing your face the previous week and showed restraint the week you were on it? so you had 10 lbs of food inside you? i then tell them nobody can shift 10lbs of fat in a week These are usually the ones who get disheartened…

you seem so close, you will get there....
