Reheated pizza is best eaten in a sandwich with BBQ sauce. Especially if its frozen variety.<br />

<br />
cold pizza and salad cream is good.<br />
<br />
<br />
Best sandwich - Peanut butter, bacon and banana.<br />

Sounds interesting....

Wouldn't agree on the almost no flavour, but you have to do do it rare. Preferably bleeding. It's got almost no fat in it, so if you overcook it, it dries up and becomes flavourless. I get it here, along with other forms of venison - bok and deer both - from guys in Cahir. It's a great way to give yourself the treat of a real fuck-off bloody steak without the fat.  😁<br />
<br />
Edit; in a truly weird postscript, I went down to my local supermarket last evening after writing this - and they'd just started stocking venison, ostrich, kudu and kangaroo (another lean meat I'm partial to),  all from those guys in Cahir. How bad!  😁

not aching yet, probably tomorrow after 4 hrs tennis in arvo:<br />
12 minutes row, 2571 metres<br />
1270, 1290, 12110 front lat pulldowns alt with<br />
1280, 12100, 12120 leg ext<br />
3*(815kg each arm) bicep curls (going lightly today as shoulder is carked)<br />
12 50, 1260, 1270 (each arm) side pulldowns (or whatever the hell they are called)<br />
3*30 situps on swiss ball<br />
off to salsa with mrs bdj tonight, this could get ugly. Still 92kgs of solid jelly.

yes, that is the sets by the body part, and yes, press as heavy as you can for 15 reps.  then next set you might only get 12 reps, so you should lower your weight slightly, and so on!

Kirwan, what are spending your half of Virgil's fitness consultation fee on? I'm thinking pies and beer <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

Mmmm, pies and beer. Am using this thread to re-enforce my own motivation. All selfish I'm afraid <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

<br />
Havent paid Kirwan a cent  😁,but finding all the advice very useful.

Weight still the same, despite eating and drinking better.  I think its good news though as I am getting fitter and building strength again so I am moving forward while treading water at the same time.<br />
<br />
Don't worry Bartman, the fun police are keeping a close eye on my discretionary activities so there is little risk of them occurring too frequently.

I have used a polar HRM for a while now, has some features that I find really useful. I guess I use it more as a sports watch with the added bonus of the HR stuff.<br />

the ability to record excersise on the watch. Basically the unit measures time excersising, HR, calories burned and time in target range, then you can download it to their website, even up to once every couple of weeks if you can't do it earlier. Find it really handy, cause I'm usually to buggered to remember all of this stuff at the end of a session.<br />
<br /> Take it with a pinch of salt, but the calaries burned setting is pretty cool if you keep the personal details accurate. Used it last week whilst snow boarding and was astonished how hard I was working. It claimed I burned 3500 calories in 6 hours on the slopes! (Was going pretty hard)<br />
<br /> For different training aims the HR is pretty useful, as someone mentioned above you can feel like you're working pretty hard but a quick glance will confirm it.<br />

<br />
the problem with teh polars is their cost.  If i was going to spend money on a decent HR watch i'd be buying a Garmin GPS watch as their heart rate functionality is top notch<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
The polar definately wasn't the cheapest option out there but it has been going solid for at least a couple of hours a week for over 2 years. Can't fault it. Plus the website has heaps of good stuff in it.<br />
<br />
The Garmin GPS stuff does sound very tempting WtW, might have to pick one up when the polar does give up the ghost - have you used them before? Have head the GPS tends to drop out a bit

GMan if I can give you Boere advise on keeping your weight. It is everything about eating. My daily eating habit is breakfast (fry egg or ham and cheese omelet or scramble) with enough bacon or sausage, two slices bread and a coffee. Lunch a pie, or a toe broodjie with biltong and dry sausage and a big boere dinner containing, meat (chicken, Lam neck chops, chicken snitchel with a stysel and veggies and a few glasses of wine. The secret is to eat a BIG breakfast , a light lunch and a BIG dinner but NO in between. Those in betweeners is the problem.

I want one!<br />
<br />
Although, if I tackle it like how I played rugby I may not get much benefit from bouncing off of it.

Compeed - amazing stuff. Best plasters I've ever come across, for just about anything, like a second layer of skin. Work like a charm.

187 cm. And I'm [b]not[/b] [i]over[/i] 100 kgs thanks, you chunky cheeky little prick.  😁 I'm right on 100 kgs at the moment. My goal weight, as I said earlier, is around the 94-95kgs to start with. We'll see from there. <br />
<br />
It's strange, both my older brothers are over 6'3", and weigh less than 90 kgs (real string beans) while I'm the nuggety one in the family.  :nta <br />

<br />
Not chunky,just gathering a little in the middle 😁<br />
Used to be so damn skinny,found an old pic of when i must have been 19 or 20...fark my stomach looked as flat as an ironing board...should see it now! :shifty:<br />
<br />
Good luck with ur plan RB,ill be keeping an eye on your updates 😁

its not just calories, it breaks down all components. On pretty much everything imagineable. From your lowly avocado to a 12 inch sub from Subway.  Very interesting

I think thats the best part of it BartMan.. you see an old pic or even semi-recent one and can really see the difference - esp in the face!<br />
<br />
I haven't been arsed to log on but I do check out peoples progresss - well done guys!! <br />
<br />
Jan 2006 107kg<br />
Jan 2007 95kg<br />
<br />
Aim is to get back to college/Uni weight of 92-93kg should be there in a couple of months

thanks gentlmen, but when you look at some of the metres racked up on the rowing forums etc, it is nothing - some of these bloke are doing 8 million in season FFS!!

Cleans you right out Milk old son. Its best if you don't eat too much in the 24 hours leading up to it. I did it once for a colonoscopy. Was not fun, but I got my appetite back quick smart once I lost that stinging feeling in the nether regions.<br />
<br />
It comes in flavours, you mix it up into 3 litres of water - and mix it bloody well - then throw it down inside two hours. Don't make any plans for the next 24 hours <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />

I made the mistake of getting the lemon-lime flavour, and[b] I've never been able to look at Powerade the same way since :shifty:[/b]<br />

I remember on one the the radio stations here they got one of the D.J's to do a detox like the on you guys are talking about,nothing beats hearing a guy on the radio crapping themselves over and over in the toilet <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Weighted in for the first time for 5 weeks this morning and pleasantly surprised.  After rowing about half my usual milage for the last month, came in at 98 kilos, and 14& body fat.<br />
<br />
So gained a kilo, but lost 1.6% body fat.<br />
<br />
I'll buy that for a dollar  😁

TYhis 8 seconds and 12 seconds seems fairly specific - might try something liek that on the rower.  but for 20 minutes - dunno if I could do that - will try thoguh!!

sounds logical, but have not heard anything along those lines either!

Jah me tinks me gave da wrong impression wid da thread title!!  :afro:<br />
<br />
I've found it to be a good site for finding out how far I actually go as well as planning different sorts of runs (longer - road versus off-road etc).<br />
<br />
a gps unit is a bit outta my $$ range at the mo

Mmm me thinks bart might be slim now but still has that 118kg brain goin on?<br />
