Fat Fighting the Red Beard way.
-
3 - spot on, I do NOT miss the Sunday hangovers!! I had my first real lear up a month or so back, first for a couple of years I reckon. Kidneys were sore for a week, not used to processing so much waste!!<br />
<br />
Also an incidental, our new trainer, as we were talking the other day was saying that after you get on the grog, your body will not burn your fat reserves for energy for a good 72 hours (3 days). So you're not going to be losing much fat when you are on the grog!!<br />
<br />
But yes, as we all get older I think we know that it is at least 70% what goes in your gob.<br />
<br />
WEights - you'll enjoy that K, variation, and you'll feel your body 'tighten' for want of a better word! -

I intend to do weights until the day I die. As if Clint Eastwood isn't cool enough already I read that last year he did a 200lb ( 90 kg ) rep on the bench. Thats some effort for an 80 year old. Talk about inspirational stuff, I'd love to be able to say that ( if I make to it 80 that is ! ) <br />

I'd be a leaner bean if I didn't drink, that's definitely my main vice.... -

The other thing with drinking is we don't usually follow up the next day with a healthy diet, thats for sure. -
Over the last couple months Ive stopped drinking. Originally because my uni studies over the summer were to full on, but now have decided to give it up fully for the rugby season. Since then I have noticed that the gains I have been getting from the limited training Ive been doing is a lot higher than I ever used to get when I was drinking. Plus Sundays are so much more enjoyable when I'm not battling a hang over
-
[quote name='Red Beard']Ive also become quite sceptical over bodyfat measurements over the years. Ive seen so many so called qualified trainers take them in slightly different places for all kinds of wacky results. At the same gym two trainers once took my BF levels over two days one tried to tell me I was 12% the other 25%. If I was a betting man I would have said I was halfway between those two figures.<br />
<br />
I feel bloody committed though at the moment, I know if I keep refining and improving I will get there. On reflection it must be the eating holding me back.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Well you are certainly training the house down, if you make an adjustment in the diet as well you'll cruise down. And I was meaning tape measurements, not body fat tests.<br />
<br />
I use the "Can I fit in my old suit/t-shirt/jeans" measurement. Happily, all but one suit I bought when I hit 80kgs last time fits. -
[quote name='BartMan']hangover food - sunday papers, pie, coke and bread roll. Maybe 2 pies. Good old days.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
All those calaries on top of the 18-24 beers on the Saturday night, plus the dozen or so had after trainings on Thursday. Still treat my self with the food every so often, but with no added liquid calaries. -

those are the best - the belt notches. I am back to one out from 'skinny' at the moment, got out to two out, and the shorts getting a bit snug. Better now. But clothes certainly the best measure I reckon (and cheapest)!! -

<br />
Or you use the trusty tape measure and try and be honest with yourself ( ie not too snug around the waist while at the same time not too loose around the bulging guns ) -
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. -
