@paekakboyz visceral fat dropped from a 7 to a 3 (anything under 10 is apparently good)
I joined Virgin Active last week. Time to get a bit stronger.
They have one of those BodiScan machines, I can't imagine its as accurate as a full scan, but the umbers looked accurate enough for me.
My visceral fat was 10 (eek!), body fat 22.5%
Funny looking at the body picture too, my arms and legs are bright green pictures of health, then there is a massive tumour-esq red fucking blob where my abs are supposed to be ๐คฃ

Muscle Ups are next. Thatโs a sure fire way to escape a zombie apocalypse while others get eaten.

@mn5 that's not in the rules but would be a worthy addition!
Absolutely, everyone needs functional strength in this day and age.....then again we live in a world where I can order McDonalds without leaving the couch if I want to so go figure.

@mariner4life I got 10 today!

so i tried Preworkout fof the first time this morning, before a cardio class
holy fucking shit! i didn't think i felt any different, but i went fucking flat out! set a couple of records, and the wife said it looked like i was on speed. Cracking fun
i think someone has said you sort of get immune to it after a while? what if you only use it a couple of times a week?
-
@mariner4life depends what was giving you the zing. If it was the tingles aka beta-alanine then after a while you might want to go to 1.5 or 2 scoops. But in my exp you'd have to be fiending pretty hard for the buzz to lessen.

Yeah itโs good shit. Freaked me out a bit to be honest and Iโm now only using it for big early sessions. Very easy to get addicted to.

i just figured it was the 175mg of caffiene
think i'll use it for the cardio days. resistance days i get up earlier and eat before i go. but cardio i literally roll out of bed, get dressed, and drive around the corner. and i am not a morning person, so i start slow
fucking not today though!!

@mariner4life definitely try it with weights. I reckon you get more tangible improvement in your lifts/endurance compared to cardio. Although my cardio + preworkout experience has been a few games of rugby and a bit of cardio alongside weights. It can hit pretty hard on an empty stomach, so that's a bonus lol. Would be interesting to see how much of a difference eating before a weights session made. C'mon man, do it for science! do it for ...

@mariner4life yeah I found the same, was expecting a buzz or being amped, but didnt get that and was wondering what the big deal was, except I could smash out my workout in about 3/4 of the time and feel like carrying on.
That said, I have noticed some days I do get a bit of a tingle in my fingers and my scalp, but nothing that makes me think I can run through walls or anything!
