    holy shit. 90.2kg and 8.5% BF. so that's all good and all bad all at the same time! 80.5kg competition weight seems a looong way away at the moment. Might have to be at negative BF%... Is that dead?

    No - it just means part of you can't exist in the physical world

    Have you read Total Recall from Arnold? Gives some good highlights (some old, some new) about his bodybuilding days in the beginning. Interesting reading his explanation of his mindset, and how he approached training.<br />
    <br />
    Kind of crazy how much he was fitting into a day (real estate business, a degree spread out over multiple colleges because of his visa, training, working at the gym, mail order business, etc, etc, etc). He was a machine.

    Actually, wrong, as he was doing that too. He's no Marlon Brando, sure, but even what he did is not easy to do.

    It's pretty amazing what you can fit in when you alarm shrills in your ear at 5:10 each morning...!!!! Even when you get up at 6, you've had a sleep in!!

    Saw pumping Iron the other day which really increased my respect for him even if he does come across as a bit of a prick. He really was an amazing athelete back in the day and its quite extraordinary what he's been able to acheive. Few people realise that he was a millionare even before he got into movies. Its weird Lou Ferrignio didnt give Olympia another shot until it was too late. Surely he would have been a shoe-in a few years later. Guess he was living the life as the Hulk.

    I think, (therefore I am), that I am going to have to start running. My weight is not going to shift otherwise, and I don't want my legs getting any bigger, so it seems running will keep those muscles in check. Going to talk to my trainer, but thoughts from the luminaries of the TSF former fat bastards club?

    Might take your calves a while to adjust, but start small.

    My old favourite were the 10-15 km runs a couple times a week. The weight shreds off of you. Admitly it also turns you into a 1 pace Clydesdale but in your sport that probably won't be to big of an issue

    I find weight just falls off me when I run too. Could be a good option Bart but only if you must!

    You lucky bugger. I now have to ramp up the eating big time to stop getting leaner. Its ridiculous. What does your diet consist of?

    sooo, the jury is back with their verdict (Dr Payne, trainer). No weights for a while on the legs. I asked for 100s. He said just lay off it for a ramp of four weeks. Stink.<br />
    <br />
    so might attack the stairs 108 up, and the forestry road track, 10 minutes up. Maybe even the odd hour run, but that would be odd!! Over the forestry tracks. Cart horse, here I come!! But as you said Chubb, not running for sport, running so I can get skinnier!! And I quite enjoy running in the head up and down big hillls etc. Wonder how my knees will like it though!!<br />
    <br />
    that is all.
