Diet for both Cardio and Lifting?
Hi all, I've been off the lifting wagon for a while lately, as some other most excellent life changes have completely taken my eye off the ball, and ended up with a lot more cardio entering my life, with several 5 and 10k runs under my belt, and a growing addiction to cycling. However, I'm really missing lifting, so have…

Power Rack recommendations? [UK]
Hi all, So, with Robide Jnr on the way, it's going to get harder to find time to make it down to the gym, so I'm looking to get a home set up, and wanted to see what others in the community were using. I'm only a year or so into my lifting career, so I think at this stage, something with a 215kg + max load will be…

Pulling it all together
Hi guys and gals, Firstly, I've been lurking in here for a while, along with Eat, Train, Progress trying to up my knowledge, and understanding of what I should and shouldn't be doing as I continue on my fitness journey. I wanted to post this message in this forum, because to be frank, I've been really amazed by the quality…

Recommended Comic Books?
Hi guys, So, I've worked my way through Batman Hush!, Marvels Civil War Series, and I am about halfway through the Infinity Gauntlet books (wanted to learn more about Thanos before the next Avengers movie!) So, the question is, what would you all recommend I pick up next? I'm leaning towards Y: The Last Man, or maybe…

American Supps...
Hi all, So, in the main forums I've read a bit about PB2 and Quest Protein products, especially their peanut butter cups (can you tell, I LOVE Peanut butter treats?? :) ) but I'm struggling to find many places over here supplying them. Just curious to see if anyone has found any good sites over here that sell some of these?

Setting up for success
Hi SS and Sara, Firstly, a huge thank you for all the information you've shared on this site. It's been hugely useful, and I've been slowly working my way through the information you've shared as I plan out my next kick to getting into shape. I won't bore you hugely with my history, but the headline is that over a period…

What do you sneak into the cinema?
So, I'm off to watch Anchorman 2 tonight with some of the boys, and it got me to thinking about what to eat there..... It's a habitual thing for me - when a film is on, the snacks come out. I love fresh popcorn when I'm at home, but lets be honest, cinema popcorn barely qualifies - stale, cardboard like stuff which is just…

So, I have a year.....
Hi MFP, So, I've been on quite a long journey to shift the weight - I've lost around 6 stone over the past 7 years, and a lot of that has come over the past 12 months. I've settled in at anywhere between 87 and 89 KG (seems to vary massively dependant on the day, time, and whatever mood my crappy scales are in..... New…

What scales do you use?
So I have a set of scales that are reaching the end of their life, I've begun to notice huge fluctuations in weight from day to day (I weigh in first thing in the morning, and one day saw a 3KG increase!), so I think it's time for a change. I've looked at a few of the wireless scales lie the Fitbit Aria, and the Withings…

It's taken a while, nearly there.... T-4kg!
I was going to post this over in the rock bottom thread, but actually, though it would probably be far more appropriate here, as it's more a journey with a few rock bottoms as opposed to one specific turning point in my life, although I hope that the last one is the final turning point! When I was younger, I went to a…

Time to kick on with some resistance training?
Hi all, Ok, so a few years, when leaving Uni, I came out at just shy of 20 Stone..... About 125kg, give or take a few for those of you non-British :) It's taken a while to shift, and at long last, I'm getting close to where I want to be. At the moment, I'm about 91.5 (tomorrow is my next weigh in, and that's what I'm…

Late Night Snacking?
It'll come as no surprise that I'm writing this at 22:35!!! I have an ongoing battle: The Late Night Munchies! Now, I personally dont think eating something at this time of night is a bad thing, especially if I've been to the gym and need some protein for my muscles to recover overnight. But on nights like tonight when…
