Not always mate, but that's a good start for you. What gym do you train at? Might have to come over for a session when I get moved!

I've just re read my last post
I sound like an over excited kid pmsl
Bannatynes? I used to work for one of his gyms and he's a proper tight cvnt!
I train at an independent gym. 4 power racks. 8 Olympic bars plus various other style bars (hex,trap, cambered). Loads of plates, benches and run by 2 brothers who have won British, European and world (drug free) powerlifting championships. Not looking forward to funding an equivalent but Liberty's in Nottingham looks favourite at the minute.
Moving 3rd August!
I've just had a really insane workout and feel alive!!!!!!
I'll post details later
I got my bf done with calipers over 4 points and the result was 20%
I'll also post details later

Today's weight 93.5 2kg loss in 1 week
Happy days

Good morning all
Yesterday was a milestone in achievement for me the sun was out I was at a BBQ with beer and all I had was a piece of steak and a glass of diet pepsi with a shed load of salad
Its Monday and just had meal 2. 2:1 potion and oats
good work makn it thru yesterday considering im sure yall were partying due to the 1-2 punch of Le Tour de France!
old wiggins and froome got it done! and the manx missile finished it off! a great day of cycling!
personally im a schleck fan but since he was not in the tour this yr im glad it workd out like it did! i hope to watch cavendish cross the finish on the champs elysees in first place next yr to make it 5 in a row IN PERSON! ;)
Yeah it was nice to see wiggins win but tbh I don't really have "A" sport I kinda follow all things but must admit le tour and rowing of any sort seem to b the most demanding lol
Any way back to today I feeling a little tired and my back and legs are aching somewhat from the workouts over the weekend so i must b doing something right!!!!!!!
All macros hit so far so I'm going for a nice walk in the sun
Tuesday day 8
Meal 1 done
Maybe swing my bell later nothing new to tell apart from its sunny here in the uk
I have only 1 ? Should I take caffienne and green tea will they help and if so what doseages
Thanx milkmiester
You see what no booze does to results? Keep clean man!
Caffeine and green tea are ok. They'll not really provide amazingly noticeable results until after you've been taking them for a long time. But they are cheap and I'd rather spend my money on them than Creatine or a pre workout formula.
Day 8 and alls good I've got a ? Should I take caffienne and green tea will it help me and if so what doseages etc
Cool so how and when should I take them?Quote:

I take them about 30 mins before a cardio workout. 200mg caffeine and 1000mg green tea. I need to get to my PC to see your pics. What method gave you 20%?
I don't know what's its called but the personal trainer did it with cream coloured calipers and an instruction book he took 4 measurement as per the required places then cross referenced it in the charts providedQuote:

It's a caliper test. Ideally it should be over 9 sites not 4. From my phone I would say you aren't as low as 20%. Calipers over 20% aren't a great way of measuring. Having said that, your bodyfat will protect your lbm so any weight you do lose will be almost 100% fat!
Tbh I'm kinda with you on the bf I think prob between 20-25% but the guy who did it isn't really that bothered about bf% he's more of a cardio man haha having said that I can use the measurement as a comparative for next time in a monthQuote:

You can use caffeine every day yes. Wouldn't bother taking it with your pre workout supp as it prob already has some in it. Even if it doesn't im guessing it has arginine in it and the 2 counteract each other to a degree.
What about the green tea should I use that too?Quote:

yeh 5-6.5hrs is what i usually get but the first part of the week being depletion + no carbs + 0430cardio = me trying to go to bed early.. really trying cuz 0430 comes early and i dont wanna lay in bed when i should be doing cardio!
went to bed last nite at 20:30 while my wife and daughter stayed up. (that seems to be the case a lot). maybe im just getting old! ;)
my TRT doc has me on melatonin and that stuff works well. plus i never had probs falling asleep anyways
Yup!Quote:

Everything is going good and I still haven't had any alcohol I think maybe I've cracked the habit
Dude because I drive a truck I have no shower facilities so I use a 2 litre bottle with the bottom cut off and ive made small holes in the cap using a piece of string through the bottom I can hang it up on the side off the truck fill it with water and bingo a make do shower not ideal but it worksQuote:

Ok technically in the ok I'm known as a tramper (stay away from home mon - fri) so I'm classed as long haul but obviously it's nothing compared to a long haul driver in the states although I did did Europe for about 4 years which is how I gained most if not all of my fat.....Quote:

what do u mean things "start to go off?" by wednesday? isnt ur current diet sorted out by stem?
I think he means in his truck fridge. Not perhaps as cool/efficient as ones at home!
Milky, it may be that you need to buy some pre cooked meat from a supermarket mid week to re stock your fridge.
Yeah I think ur right mr miyagi
Nah hulkstef my diet is spot on thanks to the input and feed back I was just lookin for a protein source with a good shelf life as everything is cooked on Sunday but as steM says my fridge isn't as effiencient so stuff like chicken etc goes off
gotcha! that british lingo messes me up every time!
