it aint good for you to eat at this time of night carl, your body should be sleeping not digesting food

The Chief

Not true Ste

Protein is ok - your body needs a constant supply of 'clean' protein to repair muscle

im really looking forward to getting back the gym, will be joining in june time, going to hammer the cardio stuff for a good month or 2 and then ill hit the weights, not going to go mad cos ive been there before and when you stop its hard to shake all the muscle without it turning into fat

moneys

iTrader: (5)

whoa there fella i dont want to feel your muscles there is a fella round liverpool called purple ackie and he has been jailed for asking young men to feel his muscles ill repoert ya you dirty little man




















ok then just a little feel

The Chief

Ste mate muscle does not turn into fat, the more muscle you build the more calories you will burn - seriously mate. pushing heavy weights increases your natural testosterone as well.

keep your cardio and your weights seperate.

your quite as stocky bloke and you'd gain muscle in no time.

i've lost 2.5 stone and put an inch on my arms

just been speaking to my brother who is working in dagenham, the ford garages rip you off round the northwest compared to down there, i think a trip down south may be on the cards

The Chief

I'm no expert mate but i've done this crap on and off for 15 years, pity i just packed it in 4 years ago and piled so much on

moneys

iTrader: (5)

it does if you just stop going the gym after years, i dont want to get stocky, been there and done that an its a pain in the ****. just going to get fit so i can play footy with my lad and not collapse on the floor with his mates laughing at me

The Chief

Anyway changing the subject what style tae-kwondo did you do WTF or ITF?

The Chief

i must admit i need to get fit but i am a lot fitter than i was 4 months ago - i do a 4 mile walk every weekend, not enough i knwo but its a start. i coudln't walk 300 yards 4 months ago without my back killing me

moneys

iTrader: (5)

back in a bit

The Chief

Must admit though Ste i'm bloody struggling big time at the mo.

as soon as i start pushing big (ish) weights my joints hurt liek **** and i ache for days.

been taking glucosomine and cod liver oil - does not seem to be working though

The Chief

Ok buddy

moneys

iTrader: (5)

wtf, the world one. been a good few years now, thinking of getting back into it as its great for fitness. there are some clubs local and one advertised in work so i may look into it but the shift work stops a lot of it

moneys

iTrader: (5)

my brother sent me a price of a car im after for the wife and the local garage here is charging 1400 more than the one down south, wont be getting my business unless there is a heavy discount

The Chief

Worth a trip down then mate.

I did ITF TKD.

Did you used to fight in Tournaments?

moneys

iTrader: (5)

sound like your running before you can walk to me carl, try 3 reps, the first one lightish and complete the 12 or 15 that you do, then up the weight and do about 10, then put it to a weight you can only manage about 5/6. that way you build up more gradually and its better for you rather than killing yourself on the heavier weights and trying to do the full reps. if you can do 3x12 reps then the weight is to light

moneys

i did 2 in preston, was good fun, got to the semi's and the quarters so didnt do to bad. my brother was funny though as he got knocked clean out once, we were all pi55ing ourselves

only did it for the fitness and self defence though really, its good to learn some discapline, boxing is like that as well. my lad will be doing something like this himself to teach him a bit of discipline

The Chief

Ok say bench press

I do two light sets for warming up at 50 then two sets at 80 then one at 100 and my final set at 120

i do first 2 at 10-12 then 8-10 then final two at 4-6

The Chief

I did a few in total, wasn't forced to do it but instructor was a bit dissapointed if we didn't. as he was an ex world champion and felt he wanted to prove his club had the best fighters, except i wasn't

got a third place trophy once - northwewst heavyweight 2001.

It was the getting up at 6am on a Sunday and going to Hinckly that killed me

moneys

iTrader: (5)

sorry mate but that makes no sense,

bench press

1x15 reps of 80
1x10 reps of 100
1x6 reps of 120

thats what you should be able to do, if you ask me your definatly lifting to much though, dont take it the wrong way but lifting that sort of weight is only going to injure you, what are you hoping out of it? strongest man or something. you,ve only just got back into it and your really going for it mate, becareful

moneys

iTrader: (5)

our instructor was the same, bloody good though, him and his wife it was. the training was very full on at times and it put a lot of people of but i loved it

moneys

iTrader: (5)

thats a big jump from 50kg to 120kg mate, thats why i said it makes no sense, you seem to be burning yourself out whilst you are trying to warm up.

The Chief

i used to lift a bit more than that - but i just shoveled food down me, your right i have to be careful, plus i'm bobbing on now
