Fat busting/Ab circle
-
Been awhile. I've gotten right back into trail running and as lick would have it I live basically at the foot of a handy track in J-ville.<br />
<br />
Still off the carbs but basically a pussy compared to Bartman. Have gone an entire month of eating breakfast, which has always been a hard thing for me. Pretty much doing the Ab thing 3 times a day and have the makings of a 4 pack(the other two are on lay-a-way). LOwest weight in god knows how long: 95kg. I'd aimed for about that but I reckon 90 will be better.<br />
<br />
Its not so much of a big thing now, losing the weight. It's like Im back at college and my metabolism is powering through the food. -
yeah Raz - Deano Bravo (my mate Deano) is now being traned by my trainer too (he came to the dark side, we have treat meals)! Anyway, he is now eating more than he was, and losing weight. Got to kiick start yourself again - and the older we get, the harder!!

Gotta say i have become a huge fan of the warm steak salad! I pretty much go through a family size by myself now. -
Six boys from back in the day and 100m of track! I was a sprinter and so were my best mates. Now we are all guys who say they were sprinters but look like we are shot putters.<br />
<br />
We are all still very competitive - whos son is the biggest, best car, hottest wife... etc - but nothing tangible to gloat with, no trophy with a plaque on it saying "champion" (tattoos on trophy wives don't count) so my mate JD came up with a ground breaking idea....wait for it....old guys running 100m and see who wins. The first sentence likely gave that away.<br />
<br />
But we are taking it serious. Real sprint training and goal weights. Just did my first session of ladder work...its been too long and coordination is shot. But it was fun. For the most part we'll actually try to train together, but no practice races other than 40m.<br />
<br />
Race is set for september! I will try to get the guys to let me chuck photos up.<br />
<br />
WINNER gets a 3 foot trophy wording on plaque is yet to be determined. Rest assured Razbra will be on there somewhere! -
that sound awsome! you need a local butcher to sponsor it or something - tough meat 100m or similar!! Pics would be awesome - if you could get the other lads onto the fern that would be primo too

Mate these guys struggle with digital cameras and facebook I have told most of them many times about TSF and they just laugh at me. -
Hit the wall the last couple days. My training partner is a lot fitter than I thought he was and is a nut case. Calling every bloody day, twice a day - "mate lets go for a run" or "aqua jogging?" and "rock climbing?" I can't tell him about the Fern as I wouldn't be able to complain about him!<br />
<br />
We are going to try those concept rowing machines for a month, on his say so. feels a lot like being back at college and I have BBall, Rugby and league training all over again. -

<br />
think you can hire to buy too - is about $25.00 a week.<br />
<br />
all details there though.<br />
<br />
get into big guy! -
You can roll out of bed and onto the rower in the morning, shower, head to work, come home, jump on for another half an hour, and wham, next thing you know you are rowing 12k a day without raising a sweet - effort wise to get to the gym that is!<br />
<br />
and you don't have to be organised. I would row in my undies, as I was going through too many shirts and shorts over summer, drenched with sweat three times a day (lunch row too, I was getting very fanatical)!<br />
<br />
But is a lot cheaper than buying one and finding you don't like it!!!!! -
yeah the initial rent then rent to buy approach worked a treat for my folks. Dad has already replaced the track as he wore it into the ground. We have a decent crosstrainer at home as well - got it in the lounge so you can watch tv or crank some music while working out.<br />
<br />
I still enjoy going to the gym but it's cool to have something decent to workout on at home too. Esp a rowing machine - you get cardio and tone up right quick following Bartmans '3 a day' programme!! Shit 3 times a day is pretty hardcore Bartman! No wonder your times in the rowing section were pretty loco. -
mate, was competing with a couple of guys online, you log your metres in each day on the concept2 site, and then at freespiritsrowing.com they have a leaders board of all the members who row. I was just cracking the top 20, there were three of us battling like mad bastards. If you didn't top 100,000 a week you were dropping down the board so fast you looked like you were swimming with cement flippers.<br />
<br />
I will certainly get back into that once the BB is over - probably just 2 a day though!!!<br />
<br />
I used to watch the first half of a game of rugby in the morning, an episode of MASH on my lunch row, and the second half in evening for the rows, so would be 40 ish, 24ish and 40ish mintues. -
finally had a go on my mate jordy's rowing machine (they seem to always be taken at the gym!). 'Addictive' is exactly the first word I would associate with it Bart. Exercise heroin! I have used row machines before. Im not a complete noob. In fact I used to [I]have[/I] to do rowing as part of my training regime for rugby. But they must have been dinosaur contraptions.<br />
<br />
Jordy is a rowing coach and lives on the thing, so no chance of borrowing his. So Im going to sweet talk the mrs into letting me rent. It may only be $25 a week but she has been hassling me about a new car for months.....
