Do you know I have only just noticed that there is only 3 reps there, not sure what he did to the other 2, I did them but he must not have filmed them. The first two were awesome too :laugh: I think I need to be a little wider and then I could get lower. I am much lower than I started out. Work in progress :)

I work out at 6am on a Thursday and I don't eat before. Too early for eating. I eat when I get home I have some turkey slices for protein, works for me but not everyone can lift on an empty stomach.

I am starting SL on Saturday so I am setting some goals for me. 1, to be smaller, in inches lbs can fall where they may 2, to increase my cals and make good food choices 3, (a loose one). I would like to squat 50 kgs. Currently I am on 40kgs, I know to start light and I am going to Deload a bit but not back to bar. I will…

This, fore sure. But it would be 512 kisses lost and for that I am forever grateful.

I did this, unless I drastically under estimated the weight then I would up it on the next set.

Sorry to jump in. But if you have a pure gym anywhere near you they are £19 a month with no tie in period, you want to quit you just cancel the DD. Might not be of any use to you but thought I would mention it as I know most sit around the £50 mark in the UK. Good luck :)

If I am on the treadmill I might gaze around, don't really take anything in just kinda vacant gazing. (though its really hard when the one singular hot guy in gym sits on the weight machine opposite me, then I stare at one spot, normally the handle of a piece of equipment, so I don't stare at him) When I am on weights I…

I am confused, if you are setting a goal, why are you trying to undershoot it by 100-200 cals, surely then your actual goal is 100-200 less than you have set and you are trying for some sort of mental trickery?

Or Wine, you can have almost a bottle for those cals :laugh:

There's your problem. You must stretch out your muscles after running. I do hams, quads and then some glute bridges (helps with the hips) I lay on my back and bring one leg up to my chest and stretch it out then I pull it over to to the opposite side to stretch my lower back. Have a google on post running stretches and…

Yeah, thats right. Its very short the first time round, as you build you weights up and you have to do more warm up sets for the squat and deadlift it will take a bit longer but not much. Trust the program. It works. :)

Seriously, you just made my day. I have been trying to like brown rice but its just nasty. I don't eat a huge amount but I used to enjoy it when I did, since trying to swap to brown its been a sad meal day.

Mon - Rest Tues - Morning weights / Evening run Weds Rest Thurs- Morning weights / Evening run Friday - Rest Saturday - weights Sunday - Run

Personally I just use the running total to watch mine, mine is still set to the MFP standard but I just ignore that and use the overall totals. I mainly use to it watch my protein intake.

Thank you. Some good advice. I am getting a gym trainer to go through bench with me on Saturday and then i'll decide from there. I am really enjoying new rules but I am limited with time so may have to change over to this.

^ this. I m just finishing stage one but I have read through all the workouts and they are more varied than complicated I think. I might move to stronglifts but right now I love nrol.

Mine comes out considerably lower than most, I think cos I am 35, that seems to be the biggest factor. I get 1300 on non workout days and 1566 on workout days.

I would say no. It is strength training during some of it, even though its light and body weight it would mean using the muscles that you should be resting.

As well as slow down check your breathing. If you breathe too fast you will wear out quicker. A lot of new runners try to breathe with every step they take, slow the breathing down, in for 2 out for 2 (seconds). I just started week 4 and it is hard but I did it. I am lucky in that I used to run and I think my body…

I started week 4 today. I was so chuffed to run for 5 mins straight. If you are new to running (as in didn't do it when you were younger/fitter whatever) remember to control your breathing. Don't try and breathe on every step (you'll get dizzy), keep it controlled and it makes it easier. I listen to my music and I sing…

Do the program as written. Start at a weight that you can do all the reps at with good form, that might be just the bar (or less) or it might be 100lbs. Good luck

Special workouts are once each at the end of stage one. Its an opportunity for you to see how far you have come since you started 6-8 wks ago. I have my last workout of stage one tomorrow. So on Tuesday I will do special workout A, then on Thursday I will do Special workout B. Then i'll take a week off. What is it you…

I have seen the second one before but the first one, oh my gosh, I was watching that through my fingers, does he have a spine left after that???

I use this to convert weights, its the best one I have found and I have looked at alot. http://www.occupationalhealth.co.uk/WeightConversion.htm

Well done. 35 Mins is a great time. I am on week 3 of it now and finding my feet. IF I can do it in 35 mins when I get to the end I will be well chuffed.

Did my last B workout today (I still have an A to go as the order got muddled cos of my shoulder) Final figures for B are as follows Started - Deadlift 15 x 25 kgs (55lb) - Finished 8 x 55kgs (121lb) Started - Shoulder press - 15 x 10kgs (22lbs) - Finished 8 x 14kgs (30lbs) (did get up to 35lb but had to drop due to…

I quit smoking and ate my body weight in ginger biscuits.

An Elephant Penis and an Ostrich Egg.

Go on then, i'll play. First side by side is July 12 to July 13 I was about 215 in the first and I am 166 now This group is from April 13 (when I started resistance / weight training) to present day was about 188ish now 166 Hope the pics work :)

Loosen your laces, it really helped with mine.
