'We knocked the bastard off'
-
into second week now, the eating is a breeze, just resign yourself to being a bit peckish and having no energy, and wallah, done!! Not really the peckish thing, but is easy if you are organised.<br />
<br />
Weights have been good - although the leg workout almost destroys you - that is a full body workout and a half!<br />
<br />
other bits and bobs not so bad, although arms, which only get about three exercises apiece are also killers.<br />
<br />
SO week 2, and loving it. <br />
<br />
We were told not to worry about weight, as that means nothing, but I love facts and figures, so weight is now down to 93kg, 8kg to go before I can play for Donsteppa's rugby team... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Better indicator is my belt is now in need of another notch drilled in it! -

I've kept carbs to a minimum over the last few months and snuck down to 98-99kg but sometimes don't feel up to huge weights sessions as much. Bart how are you dealing with doing weights and having bugger all energy ? -
just do it! Don't think about the energy, or perceived lack of it. Just do your workout and rip into it full noise!<br />
<br />
That's my theory anyway, and has been fine for 6 workouts.<br />
<br />
Love my leg workouts. Don't squat until the third exercise, start out with 10 minutes of walking lunges, then seated leg extensions, 4 x 15 reps, and then squats (40 seconds rest intervals). By the time I am squatting legs are already shaking and thrashed. Foloow with leg curls and stiff leg deadlifts, then calves. Feel like death at the end, but a good death!! -
[quote name='BartMan']Still going well, Eating easy now, but certainly not a bulk up period, leaning off like lightning, down to [b]91.5kg.[/b]<br />
<br />
Enjoying it too, which has got to be good...!![/quote]<br />
<br />
What have you been eating mainly Bartman ie what protein rich foods do you suggest ? thats a big drop in weight for just a week or so ! -

Hey MN5, get on to the Almonds (kernals) bro. Eat them 3 times a day. They are the highest protein nut and they do things to help the cravings.<br />
<br />
Nothing beats fruit and vegies as well. Get into the 3 or 4 bean mixes (but without all the added sauces, oils etc) -

Yeah good thinking, I do love almonds ( and I suppose I can't justify having bacon and eggs every morning sadly, luckily there usually isn't time in the morning ! ) I always try and knock off a couple of carrots and apples a day as well... -
Photos as promised - 2 weeeks and 2 days into eating / training programme.<br />
Not the greatest shots - steamed up bathroom and funny angles giving body funny shapes!<br />

Great work Bart I can't really say anything about the photos without sounding dodgy so all I'll request is maybe a nice double guns pose next time <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

went in and weiughed in and measured in today, will get results sent through by our PT - Mrs bartMan has shed 3kg, and I have shed 4kg from our first weight in. Also huge losses in measurements - I think I have lost 5cm in waist or something, which I have noted, as my belt keeps getting bigger and bigger on me!
-
mate, at this weight I am playing anywhere I bloody want!! I am back to openside flanker weight - althoguh I was 20 years old when playing club rugby with a seven on my back - just after I last did a body building competition actually...<br />
<br />
But I think prop would be nice...<br />
<br />
Weighed in this morning at 89.8kg after leg workout. -
Send that diet fella, the weights shreading off ya
-
[quote name='BartMan']another week of training and eating like a rabbit who likes steak and chicken...<br />
<br />
Leg workout again today, and weight in 88.5kg.<br />
<br />
I think Donsteppa, that I might play number eight... xzxsarcastic[/quote]<br />
<br />
What happened to Mr. I'd never ever be that light, I'd just be a skeleton? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Don's, it's happened, I'm a skeleton xzxshok <br />
<br />
Energy is not to bad, all the intake is accounted for, all the outgoings are accounted for. The mrs horse riding is even taken into account when out PT does the eating plans.<br />
<br />
To do it properly, you would have to have an appointment with her and then she would set you up with a training plan, and the eating to go with it. Only cost $40, and then a monthly visit is $20 where she re measures, adjusts programme and food and all that.<br />
<br />
So at the moment it is four days of weights, wednesday off, and weekends off. I am meant to row 3 x 20 minutes a week, but because the MRs does not like to walk that bush track we ran that time Hooroo alone, I walk with her twice a week for an hour instead.<br />
<br />
Anyone keen to give her a call, I'll find her number at home for you.
