Shrinking Leathers - The weekly weigh in...

[robracer]

I seem to have hit a wall............. a hot chocolate wall

[gpxpunk]

lol damn im out of shape, could only get about 80 pushups, and 60 situps and 80 crunchs b4 i crashed hahaha

WHAT! you wouldnt want to know what we had to do at kempo, torcher by any means. Sometimes it was hard to drive home and go to work the next day was hard.

[Cath]

Yeah - I'm still no change.
Gotta get back into it and make it a priority again

[ty]

I do know actually - we had to do similar for Karate
Still - I think at most 50 situps and crunches, and push-ups every other day is enough when you're not forced
And I'm not even managing that 50 yet close though

[Jonno]

118 to 108 last week since this started, now 102, no diff in the beer in-rate but eating kinda healthy instead of the lunch muck truck is prolly why

[ty]

Good numbers Jonno - but you lost 6kgs this week? (108 to 102)
or did I read that wrong?

btw I added your column to the graph in the spreadsheet

break it up!!! do 2 to 3 sets of 30-40reps of each pushup,crunch and situps. Easier then slogging it all out.

Got to get on my rower/bike, for some cardio.

[Blurr]

isnt the idea to keep the heart rate up?

As long as you do each back to back then that should be fine but inserting a long pause in between each excercise causes your lactic acid to drop along with your heart rate thus reducing the effectiveness

i have been havin a shit couple of weeks, but was sick this friday and lots about 3 kg;s haha

this mornin i was 95.5

[wullieb1]

Well i"ve had my first gain since i started

Added 1.1kg's this week and i'm not happy about it. So thats me back to 97.4kg's.

Recently got diagnosed with crohns disease and the tablets for that have a side effect of weight gain and water retention so i reckon thats what the problem is.

One good thing to come of it though is i fitted into a 34" pair of shorts today. I was buying them to give myself a goal to aim for and fook me they fitted

Increasing my gym rate to every 2 dyas and i start soccer training this week as well.

Well done everyone - I've updated the spreadsheet with the figures for this week.

I'm back to 109 (pre EC hot dog, rack of roasted suckling pork and Belgium waffles and a few beers).

wullieb1 - meds that affect weight really suck. I hope it all works out for you.

[ty]

damn - that's bad, no cure, can only treat symptoms - those sorts of illnesses really suck
I hope the meds do help, but I guess you've got an uphill battle now

[wullieb1]

102kg down 2.2kg in 4 weeks. That'll do for starters 550g per week sustained.

Now for the next 4 weeks
