If that’s how you feel about spreadsheets you should start an inane thread about exercise or diet or something?

If that’s how you feel about spreadsheets

No, I’m quite enthusiastic really…I’ve just overdone it today.

TSY.

Found something….

Do you want me to post here or PM you ?.

‘pends what it is Solo? Is it a linky to SSF stuff?

I’ve PM’d you.

Yes, its what you asked for.
Please play nice.

Nice one, ta… now about Paleo 😉

Please play nice.

Now, wrt the SSF mail.

Are you buying that ?.
Genuine Q.
(Sorry, don’t want to hi-jack your thread)

My week currently looks like

Monday – 2 hours Muay Thai (padwork only)
Tuesday – 3 hours MMA (padwork, BJJ and sparring)
Wednesday – 1 hour Muay Thai (padwork only)
Thursday – 1 hour boxing, 2 hours MMA (padwork, BJJ and sparring)
Friday – 1 hour circuits
Saturday – 1 hour sparring, 1 hour boxing, 1 hour strength and conditioning
Sunday – 2-3 hour bike ride

I use a foam roller 2-3 times a week along with some other stretching stuff. Every 4 weeks or so I’ll go for a full body massage.

No signs of overtraining here.

Sorry, don’t want to hi-jack your thread

‘s ok Solo…he does it to everybody else’s 😐

I think that it makes a lot of sense. The 16 hour fasting thing is interesting… means I’ve got to eat my last meal today, sometime around now to have a pure fat burning swim tomorrow morning.

I think the most interesting thing is the difference between men and women and it does make me wonder if I should start tailoring the advice I give the mrs and possibly (heaven forbid) start accepting her opinion a bit more. 😕

DD – as part of “the contract”, Article 27:J, I have to start endless threads that can ultimately be about anything to keep me within my limits for posting nonsense on other peoples threads.

TSY.

The difference between Chicks and Dudes was pointed out also, by iDave and his diet.
IIRC, he said that the Ladies are expected to get to around 15-18 percent BF ?, on the initial diet.
However, I stress IIRC, as iDave normally rocks up and corrects me.

What I found most fascinating was the chemical model for locking / unlocking fat from its cells.

I’m really not sure what application this info has for you.
Aren’t you super lean now anyway ?.

Isn’t there a mandatory EU quoter for that ?.

Yeah, I know women aren’t (or shouldn’t be) looking to get as lean as blokes but it’s the strategy required for getting to the goal I’m interested in.

I’ve not read the link to his book as it’s not working here.

Genuinely… I’m just interested in it all. My metabolism has gone pretty mental of late, I don’t know if it’ll stay this way, whether it’s complete luck or if there’s a science behind it all that I’m yet to fully appreciate.

FWIW… bar all the cake I’ve been topping up my diet with this year, my staple meals probably aren’t dissimilar to your own… even making scotch eggs this week a la Heston though.

***Tentatively goes to search out Heston Blooming-Heck’s recipe***

If you think you’re “over training” you’re just training badly 😆

I’m not really sure I understand this training stuff, yet alone competition.

I know I’ve got to get my pumper going occassionally.

But, ultimately.
Isn’t competition just a demonstration of the genes you were born with ?.

TSY.

Aye, found it.
Bit of extra faff, compared to the ones I make and obviously being an iPedant, I miss out the bread crumbs.
😳

Never thought people insisted on the yolk still being liquidus.
😯

EDIT:

TSY.
I sent you more SSF stuff.
Just the 2nd part.

Wunundred 😀

compared to the ones I

Link…?

I’ll have a read. The Mrs is very lean too, but her view on intermittent fasting is different to mine. I hope you haven’t jsut helped her win an argument… 😉

You need to differentiate between exercising and training, if there’s no end-point or goal, it’s not training.

Link…?

😐

Not to be confused with Cave eggs…

EDIT:

What was / is your view ?.

Fast whilst you sleep, exercise and eat within 2 hours of waking.

Mainly because I become an irritable bastard after much more time without food.

That’ll be it then.
Thank you.
🙂

I have no competative goal, no event to enter and win.

Obviously I’d just lose and by doing so, demonstrate that I was born with inferior genes to the fitness dreadlord who beat me.

Mainly because I become an irritable bastard after much more time without food.

I have noticed a change in mood when I become properly hungry and can’t help wondering if thats Grehlin related.

I’ve always called it a sugar low…

So just “normal exercise” then,
mix up what you do, when you do it, rest when tired and have fun 😀

Oh, and remember to start a forum thread every time you visit the gym, have a swim, ride a bike or eat some cake……

This is very important. You can start them after running too. Or visiting the loo. Or just when bored.

I’d attibute that to bonking or feeling generally lethargic, esp after exercise.
I think this will be when the glycogen is depleted.
No glycogen, no ATP ?.

Grhelin release is in response to an empty stomach (different signal), not sure its blood sugar related / senstitive.
Being a hormone, it can have an effect on thought, temprement ?.

So, eating something low GI, may maintain a low insulin level and allow the process described in the mail to subsist ?.

Where as eating something high GI will produce the insulin response I’m learning about ?.

Just an idea.

This is very important.

Of course; if no-one knows you’ve done it, it doesn’t count 🙂

Solo – my reference to ‘sugar low’ was more a tribute to my own and more general ignorance… I don’t get them half as frequently eating a more sensible low GI diet.

Hilldodger… you should be grateful you’re not on the other forum I go on. I start threads there about the fact that I’ve started threads here*.

*This is a lie. I don’t cheat on STW.

Yes.
I have a routine.
Bike in the gym, aerobic activity.
Then some resistance work in the form of weights.

So, back OT, I have an ache in my right shoulder, sort of a cross between cramp and as if I’ve pulled something.
AND
I have slight discomfort on the outside of my left elbow.

Am I injured through over / incorrect training ?.

Seriously, I have my gym kit in the car.
Should I go to the gym tonight in light of ^^^

If I do need to rest.
How is that controlled ? wrt to limitation of movements and duration of rest period ?.

When do you feel the pain in your elbow?

I used to have something similar… notice it most if carrying a heavy shopping basket.

Trained through it and starting using a trolley instead.

Have you considered just doing legs tonight?

Go, just do some legwork and/or core so you’re not stressing the injury…

Going a bit mad with Curls perhaps ?
.

legwork and/or core

I always hit the gym bikes.
I do not want to increase the size of my leg muscles though.
I set the machine to 10 out of 25, on the resistance.
Spin at anywhere around 80 – 100.
HRM is very suspect on these machines, so try to go by feel.
Do between 30 – 60 mins, more 60 mins lately.

You won’t grow massive legs doing some light leg work…

Just do body weight stuff this evening.

Deep squats.
Lunges.
Step Ups
Step Downs.
Explosive Jumps
And a load of core stuff… you’ll be all good and the additional range of motion you move your legs through will be great for you.

I was going to guess at bicep curls… ditch them. Waste of time IMO.

…… Now you put it like that, theres not much reason.
Its true.
😯

OK, I’m off then to see if I can actually get to use any of this equipment.
Some people seem to do about 6 sets on one exercise and take over an hour, while also chatting 🙁

Just ask them if you can use the machine between sets.

If they say no. Touch their bum.

Oi Yeti I want a word with You 👿
