Waylander Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 The irony in what Billy says is that I actually did some of the earlier research a decade ago (more actually, now that I think about it!!) about mesenteric fat and truncal obesity. The ancillary benefits for me would be huge too. Loss of collar size may help with my sleep issues, it'd be great not to stress buttons on shirts etc too!

Drinks Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 It has been six weeks since I started training regularly. Only 4-5 hours a week on the turbo trainer and I have just completed a FTP test and scored 299W. I had estimated my FTP was <200W when I started so really pleased to see such an improvement. Weight wise I was never overweight but have lost 3-4 Kg and around 1% body fat so hovering around or below 14%. All in all a good start.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Feck, feck, feckety feck. Not-wife just sent me the training plan for Ratrace Dirty Weekend in May. Run training kicks off next week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Well I'm still nowhere near my 10k row PB. Mind you, my training has hardly been consistent with numerous trips abroad. Only rowing, swimming and cycling once each a week so just maintaining for now. Bilateral breathing going alright, although the left hand side lengths are such a chore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hang on - you're doing a full length of the pool only breathing to the left and then another one only breathing to the right? Why not three - breathe left, then three breathe right? Or am I missing something? On a happy note, I just found out there's a 50m pool in Nottingham now for when I'm on my travels North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there are 2 hot chicks in lanes outside of you it pays dividends to look, sorry I mean breath both ways.

Waylander Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 surely its better to ensure you're swimming towards them and stick to breast stroke or some such underwater methods? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 1 is getting to breathing on my left sorted while still getting a good session in. I can't do with breathing 50% less at the rate I'm working! It will come once left is natural. Although Monday I couldn't be arsed and just did right for the session! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waylander Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I had a VERY surreal experience at the gym today - and learned I can still blush. walked in to find a fit young lady at reception. For some reason her yoga pants were half way down her ass on one side revealing a satin thong. I did wonder if I should try to discretely tell her as the young man standing behind her in the queue was openly ogling....but couldn't think of a way without embarrassing us both. then walked into the gym proper and 2 very attractive young regulars were on the treadmill.....I walk past to head to my usual x-trainer. they shortly come to use the spin cycles in front of me and were clearly in a mischievous mood as they loaded Ariana Grande's Side To Side and started to act along the bike scene. Did I mention they were Very attractive? I normally take my glasses off when training but happened to have them on today as I was watching the Trump press conference. Well frankly I was too distracted to continue watching that so off came the glasses again And it didn't end there, I usually head to the pool to do a lap or too to cool down and stretch and then sit in the steam room and sauna. in sauna a bloke and his red head girlfriend in a very tight bikini walk in. She decided to wring her top dry. I had no Chou but to slink back and look away only to hear "no point doing that to your bottoms, your pussy is always soaking" At that point I had to check and make sure I wasn't in some feverish hallucination and thought I better just go home 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hilarious. I dragged my sorry ass to the gym yesterday for the last session of my 30s. Didn't feel like it all and then go and post a years PB on the ergo! Odd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Well, more amazing is that I've just posted an all time PB in the pool. 1 mile, 28:58. I think that is more down to nutition than anything, I don't normally go to the gym so soon after breakfast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Trust me - you need to visit Puregym in Nottingham. I use it when I'm in that neck of the woods. 6:30-8am or 6pm-8pm. Some of the women are proper stunners. There's some mingers as well, but hey, you can't have it all your own way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Aah.....no. its probably a part of gym fun I miss out on but having a career where I need to scan semi clad women (and men) the risk of baseless vindictive allegations is too high for a brown bearded bloke so I'm very conscious - hence glasses off while training (not just for the sweat factor). mind you staring myopically into space wouldn't prevent someone wrongly assuming I'm staring and I don't even get the benefit of an eyeful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've lost my first stone since Xmas. Mac mode: I've only lost 6.4kg and it took me 10 weeks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
