Fat Fighting the Red Beard way.
-
Yeah I've never used the tape measure, as I said I dont particularly trust BF testing either. Think Barts belt notch test is the one I like best although have to admit I prob only wear trou (not black Levi Super tapers either before you ask Bart) with a belt for the odd funeral and out to dinner once a month in the winter. Never had too much trouble dropping kegs before, maybe it does get tougher when older! Im sure if I iron out my intake I will be sweet. While I love doing weights, I aint doing all this cardio for nought!!!

20 minute cardio at the end of your weights session, in the fat burning zone is what we are told to do - don't need to go too hard out otherwise you won't be burning the fat, but the muscle and glycogen in the muscle, but as you've just trained hard out, those muscles will be empty, so they will start cannibalising themselves.<br />
<br />
Or something like that!!! -

I was reading that back when Sean Connery was a bodybuilder he had to run and catch a bus, his fellow competitors however did not as they didn't want to risk burning any muscle ?!?!?! <br />
<br />
"Fuck that" said Sean. <br />
<br />
What is the story Bart, were these guys for real ? absolutely ridiculous behaviour. -
[quote name='BartMan']I think that might be a little extreme!! Takes more than a run after a bus!!<br />
<br />
it is a mad science though, and my mad scientists seem to know what they are doing![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
I think Sean being quite an active sort of joker ( and he never seemed to need a stunt double as much as Roger Moore ) gave away the bodybuilding after that. I think the guys he was describing had "arms the size of his legs" and were much more serious than him in any case. -

Best workout for yonks. Intensity and Power in the zone. Funny how sometimes following your worst nights sleep you pull out your best effort in the gym. Gotta enjoy the days when you have little purple patches because its not everydasy you are on fire. <br />
