Good on you for fixing yourself, most people just have a bunch of excuses why they won't even start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no excuse, but the last couple of years have bee all over the shop for me, with work being crazy and hardly being home. I found a new local gym and the missus and I have both joined up to. The gym at work is great, now that I'm back to working near decent camp facilities. I'm hoping for a big year with a lot of gainz, both in the gym and on the dyno. It's time to get myself and my cars on a health kick and back into tip-top shape! 💪 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, I'll do Mad Cow, 3 days per week, 5 sets of 5 reps after warm up and have the weight more than twice as heavy as the other stuff.

It adds a solid 3kgs to the scales for me. Strong at the moment, hitting a bunch of PBs this week… 65kg lat pull downs being the one I am most happy with…. So a typical day for me looks like the following: 4am: Pre Work Out & Creatine 4.15am: Gym - 1.5-2 hours strength & 30 mins cardio 7am: Protein Shake & L-Glutamine 10am: Protein Bar & LeSnack 12pm: My Muscle Meal 2pm: Protein Bar & Berries 5.30pm: My Muscle Meal 6.30pm: Second Cardio 2hrs (Footy training etc) 9pm: Desert of some description, usually a high protein low cal home made something like a protein cookie dough or protein baked cheesecake… I like the muscle nation vanilla ice cream protein powder and powdered peanut butter for making a variety of desert options. 9.30pm - Bed Time and Supplements Total - 1800cals & 150-160g Protein Dinners and Lunches I like the My Muscle Meals… they’re the best tasting, highest protein to calorie ratio of a lot of the pre made meals… the beef stroganoff is the best but I haven’t been able to find it for a while. Quest branded protein stuff is the bomb imo for low cal and high protein and taste. The Quest Loaded Taco Chips are the best ever!!! The quest birthday cake bars are the best also. The musashi wafer ones are good for a sweet snack also. Any of these shakes are the best calorie and protein bang for buck and taste good too Pre work outs I like mixing up occasionally… these are on the rotation at the moment… Creatine and L-Glutamine and also smash a few hydralites per day also… Also on these mix of sups and also a once a week vitamin D … 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter how good your cardio is, you'll max out your heart rate on every set of squats and then some when it's hot. I'm 42 years old, 115kg and have no desire to induce a heart attack while alone at home. @Mrs Jeturbo Those are some cupboard goals right there!

Footy training in 36 the other day… normally my recovery rate is sensational… my HR wouldn’t dip below 140 even after a solid 3-4 mins of rest. This was a super light session with loads of breaks but you’d think it was straight work out due to the consistent high HR… but in reality this was half standing still or sitting… but HR wouldn’t drop due to heat…. Keeping in mind my resting HR is 56 average and my recovery HR drops to like 70-80 almost straight away normally.
