I am hoping for much faster, I am a short guy who used to fight at light welter weight, 20lb to me would be much greater a loss for me than say a heavyweight fighter losing 20lb. I am glad some agree about weight being a massive obstacle, I used to smoke when I ran races without much effect, though some. Glad I gave the…

I am really hoping so litsy, I am plodding at 10 minute miles at the moment, but I see no reason why I cannot get back t sub 8 minute miles if I take a good 20lbs off

Thanks Dvl Asked the instructor at the gym I use this week, also highly rec's that system..

I am listening to other people, and from on here, I am learning all the time from all different corners. But yet again(as YOU do not seem to be listening) I am not intereted in anything you have to say(at the moment) or to anyone so over sensitive when I call a bicep curl a piddly exercise(done millions by the way). Have…

while I appreciate anyone who served their country- it doesn't make you an expert on weight lifting. clearly. Yes. I agree totally??
-
It is just amazing :-) Why do you bother? Go and share your wisdom somewhere else, just because you post 10,000 plus posts on a internet forum does not make you an expert...No please go away
-
JUST GO AWAY LOL LOL Do you not understand that I do not value a thing that you are saying... why continue?? Go and save someone else and stop trying to be my mentor .. lol lol Yes there are some amazing knowlegeable people on here mate, you are not one of them... BYE

Thanks NFL I really an taking on board what you all(minus a few trolls) are saying, and have made tweeks(more than tweeks) on that basis of what I have already read. What I hate is when people say "you must" or "You should" take our advice because we do know best.
-
No it is not bad or good advice at all Have taken advice all my life(40 years) some very good and some very bad and a lot ok. The advice I have been given over the years I am now using... THE SET PROGRAMS TRAINERS HAVE GIVEN ME. As someone who is more interested in cardio fitness, the strength training with weights is just…
-
Yes ok ..if you say so :-)

Hi TR I did not make myself clear :-) Would be just doing squats every 9 day 1st session ....predominately squats (2 full days off) 2nd session .. predom Bench press(2 full days off) 3rd session(2 full days off).. Been thinking about this and might try this... squats(predom) All body(no legs or little) Deadlift(predom) All…
-
None??
-
Gosh!! The word pretentious and delusional spring to mind.. There are a few people out there who p*** me off sweetheart, but I tend to let them get on with if they are not bothering me and walk on the other side of the road, I don't find a need to troll them. Reading a few of your posts it is quite clear you relish…

Is not three squat sessions a week too much?
-
You are really not a million miles off what I will be doing and have done for many many years. Like I said I have neglected the legs for too long and am getting top heavy.. I can bench 200Lbs quite comfortably, but my squat is not much more, something is very wrong there. Thanks
-
Look!! some of you are taking the piddly out of context, totally. The example I gave is say the bicep curl which basically(shock horror)just does the bicep(mostly). An exercise such as the deadlift or squat does good solid core strength, it basically does the lot to a degree. For so many years I have seen new guys go…

I have been training in various ways for over 40 years now, I boxed as a lightweight moving eventually up to welterweight. I have skied, cycled, dived, marathon running, scuba and much more. These days I am not that welterweight anymore, more closer to 12 st 7Lb, but still in not bad shape. So I do have a basic…
-
Hi Jem That is a good one that I forgot, thanks, military press.. I will be taking two full days off between sessions, so I will be mostly doing 2 of those session per week, basically doing all of them over a nine day period. The idea of the bench press midway was to give the legs a rest. Also something I never mentioned…
-
Hi SS I have been a little lazy with my training past six months, but not totally neglected. I need to shed about 10Lb and get my shape back. I am doing a lot of rowing, crosstrainer and cycling at the moment, not that is a chore as I love it. Getting out a lot at the moment on the mountain bike in the mud and winter…

Hi 52 here, and looking to get back to a fitness level where I can start doing some decent triathlon times along with some more enjoyable stuff.

Who would not want any more like minded friends looking to enhance their body and mind :-)

So British then Tasha(UK even) ;-) Sorry but the referendum never went your way

Well this is the relief, except for Emma who said she lost weight over xmas, I think it is fair to say that most of us hate her :-) ... Nothing against our American comrades, but they do speak another language at times, even though they speak English.

I have been back down the gym again today, and for so early on in the year I am getting the feeling that I am starting out on a good solid base, there is something in this muscle memory marlarky... Did a good solid hour of cardio then got out quick, one of my old habits. But later I got quite reflective, New Year and all…

@joRocka .. Had a ganders and was quite impressed by that guy.. I am probably at the level he was after 6 months, so all is not lost considering where he ended up, far better than I have looked in a long time I might add :-)

Hi Cherimoose... it is not that I am not going to work my upper body, I am for the first part of this year going to work it a lot less and just maintain. My legs on the other hand have been neglected for far too long. And like I have already said, nothing beats deadlifts for ALL body.
-
My upper body is fine, and with rowing 5 times a week along with the dead lifts(all over) my upper body will get plenty to keep it toned.

Thanks Tiberrius, I am pretty good up top, but legs are so skinny lol, not weak though.
