They clap at you to get out of their way?!?!?!

If you do use a HRM during lifting, remember that it's going to be calibrated for you using a high % of you VO2 Max, as you would be using during cardio. You use a much lower level lifting so the calorific burn will be massively overstated. Aerobic v Anaerobic. There are massive mid to long term calorie burning benefits…

How's your cardio endurance? If it needs work, go for the long slow distance runs. If it's decent enough though, try out sprint HIIT (Alternate 60sec jogging with 30sec sprinting. Repeat for 15mins). You'll get better explosive power & acceleration out of the sprint training. All the better to get you over that gain-line.…

Ah, you're a rugby player? Which position? Regardless, you're probably looking to build strength all over. I'd recommend free weights over machines as the dynamic movement involved works more tangental muscle groups and is more similar to what you'd need on the pitch. Would also recommend doing heavy squats in a squat cage…

To the best of my knowledge, you're better off lifting heavy to get results. You using a set of weights at home or in the gym? You looking to build strength for sports, or lifting to lose weight & get some muscle growth?

Whey!

Have you got any Irish in you?...Would you like some?

All sounds pretty familiar to me! Sending you an add.

I've never gone to a con or cosplayed (not many opportunities in Ireland), but I've a rich and deep history of nerdery. Tech, science, gaming, sci-fi & fantasy in all their glorious forms, comics, rpging, the works.

Don't panic! Muscle is heavier than fat, but any strained or achy muscles are basically inflamed, and inflamed tissue holds water. Give it a few days until any pain/tightness is gone & your weight should come down. Don't forget that your weight naturally fluctuates anyway, so never panic on the basis of a single weigh in.…

Used to play union openside flanker until a knee injury put me out of the game for good. At the time I did a lot of mid & long distance running for cardio, then plyometrics & body weight calisthenics for strength & explosive power. And lots and lots of core work.

Hey, I ran a marathon a few years back & am just easing back in to some 5k type running at the moment after a long term injury. I'll answer any questions anyone has, feel free to add me too.

So far I have lost (23lbs): - an unloaded M60 machine gun or - a very large newborn Alpaca or - the street weight of my road bike (this one's my favourite!)

I use Runtastic to track my runs, walks & cycles, and it *always* comes in with a lower calorie burn than MFP. I'm trusting it to be more accurate on that basis. You could use a heart rate monitor for more accurate figures across a broader range of exercises, but be sure you get the net calories burned rather than the…

Paddys in Ireland & Billys in England both make sense to me. Nigel doesn't seem to be particularly evocative of Australia though.

Added, thanks!

It's an Irish/English phrase. Thought it was apt enough!

bump!

It's really tough to hit the protein targets if you don't eat meat. Thank the lord for eggs & fish, or I'd be nowhere near it.

Full veggie for about 30 years, gone pesce-vegetarian in the last 2 years after pressure from the kids. Anyone feel free to add me!
