Birthday workout last night: chest day followed by KFC birthday dinner. Gains!

Recently busted a plateau on the bench after what feels like forever... fark. Onwards and upwards (to the next soul destroying plateau).

Waldo · 10th October 2014, 12:07

anyone got any recommendations in the CBD for a decent gym?

crocos · 10th October 2014, 22:20

04? 09?

Waldo, Les Mills do good classes if you're into that sort of thing

The CBD? Upstate New York?

Waldo · 15th October 2014, 09:13

in auckland,comon, you guys know there isnt any other cbd in NZ other then auckland, geez.....

I dont do the classes thing, I generally head gymward between 1400 - 1600 to wake myself up in the afternoon.

leadinjector · 15th October 2014, 12:16

started swimming, gone from 200 desperate flailing metres to 500 desperate flailing metres in a week. go me!

chiQ · 17th October 2014, 16:47

Being doing Bikram yoga for the last month. Feel good man...well it does when it's over.

Ab · 6th November 2014, 14:59

I eventually put back on almost every kilogram I lost during the original I Ate All The Pies saga, but I'm eleven years older too and am now a financial disaster waiting to happen when it comes to rugby. I won't be making a second return to the rugby field.

Getting back into basketball instead this time around and had my first scrub tier competitive game last night. Aerobic fitness held up ok but I'm feeling pretty sore today. Calves are screaming at me.

Awesome sauce. Go Ab too. Calves always give up on the courts first.

Deadlift comp tonight, hoping to put down 230kg.

Did the crossfit open this year. 1 & 2 - glaring holes in repertoire. 3/4/5 smashed it!

Good luck - vid required if successful!

Ahh basketball, 1 concussion, 3 black eyes, 1 missing tooth, dodgy knee...
Otahuhu Mens For life bitches...

Ab · 7th November 2014, 14:07

Hardcore

I'm certainly playing with a mouthguard this time around. But if Wed's game is any indication the aggro level in this comp is pretty moderate.

Deadmeat · 15th October 2015, 14:18

Took up a boot camp a few months back and over the last 8 weeks the trainer has run a weight challenge, lost several kg through it, but what i'm really stoked about was the fitness test
25x 15kg squat press
30m run
15 pushups (still doing them off my knees)
20m run, 15 squats, 120m run
10 pushups, 20m run, 10 squats, 120m run
5 pushups, 20m run, 5 squats, 60m run to finish

At the start it took me 5m10s, did it again last night in 3m35s

xor · 17th October 2015, 12:51

You doing it with Fitness evolved?

Deadmeat · 17th October 2015, 14:32

It's just run by a guy who trades under 'Get Pumped Fitness', on the Petone coast. Turns out I had the biggest % improvement of anyone in the group, stoked as

pxpx · 3rd October 2016, 20:37

Anyone doing the Auckland corporate challenge this November?

pxpx · 24th November 2016, 08:25

^ was last night. Pretty happy with my performance. Went from barely being able to run 800m without wanting to die, to a 22:59 5k (4:35 splits)

Lightspeed · 25th November 2016, 22:07

So I got a Nielsen survey from the government about exercise. They sent a letter, then a reminder card, so I figured I'd fill it out online.

Alas, the survey doesn't count my >5 minute high intensity daily workouts as exercise (has to be 10 minutes or more per session), so I couldn't finish it.

Sure, I won't be fighting in the UFC or completing a triathlon, but as for as effort vs results go the routine is a big win.

Lightspeed · 13th February 2018, 19:28

Does anyone have a favourite protein supplement they can recommend?

crocos · 13th February 2018, 22:50

Depends what you're looking for.

I kinda like the Reactiv.co.nz range - unflavoured, mix well, hell you can use 'em instead of flour in baking.

Reactiv NZ Whey Protein is excellent but slightly above avg price for a standard 80% protein whey. But given how well it mixes and bakes, and it's not flavoured yet takes on flavours easily, it's IMO worth the slightly higher premium.

If you want something with basically no carb component, Reactiv also do a Whey Protein Isolate with a much higher protein percentage than most WPIs at 92.4% - and price pretty much at about market average per Kg

[LvN]N3misiS · 13th February 2018, 23:58

lol @ threadbump. 1 year+ without lifting weights. Bodyweight down to 80kg (195cm). Aerobic/anaerobic cycling/running fitness the best it's ever been. Leg muscles weaker but power output higher for any duration from 1 minute upwards.

Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I'm hoping it'll blend well into a fruit smoothie. High nutrition/protein post workout meal.

xor · 3rd October 2022, 15:08

Been running and lifting weights, and smashing back too much good food. Gotta cut out the choco brownies and eat through a vanilla lens.

Redneck · 3rd October 2022, 16:02

Yesterday I ate 100g of smoked chicken with some sauteed celery and cabbage, a small pile of coleslaw (dressed with yoghurt), an orange, and a pear.

Been running about a week so far of that sort of thing everyday and dropped a decent amount of weight already. I thought I'd be slitting my wrists by this stage but I feel surprisingly good! If the hunger pangs get too much I just have a nice big glass of sprite zero or diet bundaberg.

fixed_truth · 3rd October 2022, 22:29

Sprite zero is my go to when cutting. Pumpkin & sous vide chic salad. Prawns with Shirataki Noodles. Noode protein powder. Not drinking alcohol for a while gets me the best results.

wazza · 4th October 2022, 08:09

I spent about a year sitting at 92kg
I've been sitting at 89kg for about 5months now

Curious to see where I am in another few years as I work out 7 days a week and have done for 2 years as of January

Looking at my resting heart rate data,
2022 55bpm
2021 63bpm
2020 69bpm
2019 84bpm

Weight
2022 89kg
2021 92kg
2020 94.4kg
2019 131kg

mmm. choose life

xor · 4th October 2022, 10:59

131kg!! Christ, good to see you've dropped it.

I stacked it up to 92kg 3 years ago, stress + grad study program + 3 kids resulted in me stuffing my gob with choco brownie and watching Netflix late at night.

My weight bouncing between 85-88kg these days. I fast for two days a week and eat like a human dumpster for the other 5 days.

Currently running between 25-30km a week, 3 days of weight lifting per week, and practice the bjj exercises with the sprogs as we got some 40mm mats at home to roll with.

xor · 4th October 2022, 11:00

Consistency is hardest, i'll go hard for 6-7 weeks and then fall off the wagon for a week :/

wazza · 7th October 2022, 07:41

Yeah, i'm not sure how I manage it. I guess I don't have the commitments you have

but mmm 7 days a week for me, helps a lot with my anxiety/depression to the point where it's basically non-existent.

here's some news, this morning I was randomly presented with a prize after training because I won Top Male in the 8 week challenge. I didn't actually enter the challenge (I have issues with attention/competition), but they secretly recorded all my challenges/events over the 8 weeks.

i feel validated, great news i wasn't expecting
