This x2, completely agree This is such a misconception that I hear all the time, normally from people at work who know next to nothing about training and look like *kitten* themselves. One guy was speaking to me some time ago and said to me, when I was explaining how I was adding LBM "oh but you need to get fat so eat…

Watch the diet and there is no need for 'cardio' if weight loss and health if your goal. Do something low impact if you must, perhaps swimming or cycling.

Agree which is why it makes me laugh hearing women say "I don't want lift weights, they'll make me bulky"- People really don't appreciate how hard it is for a man to produce large muscles with 10x more test. True HIT such as tabata done properly should kill you

Completely agree, I've read numerous studies that suggest the same thing. meal frequency or training routine will have negligible effects on base metabolism. As you say the only thing that will change this is gaining significant lean mass

Takes a fair few hours to burn any meaningful calories using exercise alone. Not eating a load of *kitten* in your diet is a far easier and more effective option for purely weight loss

BH live is a scheme that the council run in Bournemouth and it gives you access to 4 gyms. Stokewood, LittleDown, David English and another that aludes me at this time. Perhaps look into this as its pretty reasonable on price too. If you want a pool then you'll have to go with one of these. I use one of the gyms in town…

Its caused by over use and too much work using flexion/extension of the elbow joint. I always find push movements flare it up more so if I get an episode of Tennis Elbow I remove them from my routine for a while and replace them with isolation stuff like flies, lateral raises, front raises etc. Rest, hot/cold treatment and…

Love is a funny work, especially when associated with HIIT. I do HIIT once every couple of weeks on the concept rowing. It leaves me on the verge of vomming

Drew Baye did a review on them a while a go, he rated them http://baye.com/fat-gripz-review/

When you do exercise you burn calories but you should be eating at your goal 'net calories' that you set on MFP. So you eat back the calroies you burned during exercise if this takes you under your net goal. Eg- you want to loose weight and set your daily calories 2000kcals to do so (giving roughly a 500kcal daily deficit…

I completely agree with you, unfortunately many people assume that more is better and that because an actor has 9 hours a day to train, that they should do that. In actual fact it requires as little as an hour a week of intense, progressive strength training with a very strict diet to achieve a strong, muscular and lean…

You've misunderstood, although maybe the word pointless was wrong. I stand by my comment though that it is unachievable to look like somebody, although anybody can always become the best version of themselves and do what they can with the genetics they have. As I said there is nothing wrong with celebrities for motivation…

I have to agree with other on here that have said its pretty un acheivable and pointless. I can't understand why people try to look like a particular person or start obsessing about looking like Daniel Craig/Tom Hardy/Christian Bale or some other public person they see on TV or in the news. While I can appreciate its good…

I tend to agree with you. Although for me personally I do eat low (ish) carbs. I'm not convinced insulin is the devil but a lot over weight people would be better placed looking to lower insulin which in turn comes from eating less, and less sugary stuff. I agree also with weight loss/gain- the main factor is calories in…

This is some crazy *kitten*

thank you

It does sound a bit similar to 5/3/1. I agree HIT does fry the CNS a little but this is the reason for longer breaks between workouts. Also I use very strict form once I cannot manage the rep with good form the rep is over, I know some people would start using sloppy form which could certainly be dangerous. It is a bit…

I know and no offence taken. In terms of volume. Its really kept pretty low in all honestly. I usually do 2-3 light warm up up sets followed by and all out set to failure. For example. Deadlifts I might do 80kg-5 reps 120kg-5 reps 160kg- reps to failure (aim for between 4 and 8) As an avid deadlifter and squater you can…

It’s a good point you raise and one that I pondered for a while before giving this type of training a go. I did a lot of reading on the subject too. I understand its not for everyone hence why I was on here looking for other peoples experiences with HIT. As for my routine, the one I’ve been doing for the last 4 months…

Each to their own and I used to think the same way as you and thought I'd never change. Also its very low volume work I'm doing, generally 4 exercises per workout, 2 light warm up sets followed by and all out working set

If you plan the workout correctly you can get a great workout, although it does depend on goals. If your goals are endurance sport based then 10 mins is obviously not enough. Personally I workout using weights (HIT style) once every 5-7 days and my workout lasts no more than 15-20 mins. Body fat is controlled by my diet so…

Mine have always been pretty puney but ripped. Its one place I never gain any body fat but are just hard to build. I beleive its genetics to some degree but you can only work with what you have!

Pretty sure clotheslining is in the MFP database?

Pretty lucky my arm is both big enough and strong enough to take this then. It would be like a workout really

This seems crazy?!

I find the 'clothes line' wrestling move works even better on a cyclist

Less than 1300! Ouch

Depends on genetics but I find the stomach is the last area that gets cut for me. Usual weight goes from my wrists, arms and chest before gut! Be patient as long as its moving in the right direction then job done. Also as others said make sure you are weight training

I got a deal for life when the gym opened in my area. £9.99 a month for life!

Can you elabroate on what you do exactly. Would be intereted
