        What happened to Mr. I'd never ever be that light, I'd just be a skeleton? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

          Don's, it's happened, I'm a skeleton xzxshok <br />
          <br />
          Energy is not to bad, all the intake is accounted for, all the outgoings are accounted for. The mrs horse riding is even taken into account when out PT does the eating plans.<br />
          <br />
          To do it properly, you would have to have an appointment with her and then she would set you up with a training plan, and the eating to go with it. Only cost $40, and then a monthly visit is $20 where she re measures, adjusts programme and food and all that.<br />
          <br />
          So at the moment it is four days of weights, wednesday off, and weekends off. I am meant to row 3 x 20 minutes a week, but because the MRs does not like to walk that bush track we ran that time Hooroo alone, I walk with her twice a week for an hour instead.<br />
          <br />
          Anyone keen to give her a call, I'll find her number at home for you.

                  By the way Nigel who works in the TA gym won two novice bodybuilding titles at the Nationals last year. If you are ever down our way I will take you in for a protein shake with him for a yarn. I think Teresa worked with him last year.<br />

                  Im entering a Waikato Powerlifting Club Comp (novice section) on the 7th of November. Maybe I should start a new thread. Training is really picking up now, Im just starting to lift some decent tin again but there are no signs of losing my motor and I eat like a bird (and I stopped drinking piss on New Years Day). Im still a burly 111kgs at 176cm (on tippy toes). My Nov goals are 220kg Squat, 220kg Deadlift, 160 Bench.

                    I was thinking of getting into that next RB - a bit of powerlifting. I used to be able to get out 240kg dead lifts and 200kg squats, although I don't think my form on the squats would have been the flashest!! Bench press lets me down though, 137 I think was the best I have done, something liek that, although it was for 2 reps while prop cyril was blazing away at 150s!<br />
                    <br />
                    Squatting 12 reps at 115 at the moment at 88kg bodyweight, and will up that again next week, so feeling good there.<br />
                    <br />
                    Bench press though shite since shoulder injury, after doing three sets of incline dumbells (30s), I can do 12-10-8 reps of bench at 60, 65 and 65 kg, and it's killing me.<br />
                    <br />
                    Hate lifting pretend tim, although my chest feels rooted at the end of that!!<br />
                    <br />
                    so what do you do for PL training...?

                      I have a 3 day a week programme, 3 exercises per workout, 5 set of 5 reps each bodypart. Ive had to extend it to four days so I can have one day just squatting. I need more warmup sets before hitting my working sets. This is a 12 week programme and Phase One of a Four part year long programme (one week rest between each phase). Phase Two is lower reps eg triples, doubles, singles. Im just concentrating on squat, deadlifts, weighted chins, BB Rows, bench, close grip and military press. At the moment Im benching 3 x 5 at 130, deadlifitng 5s at 190 and squatting 5s at 180. Pretty pleased seeing I had knee surgery on Feb 13. Im still working within myself though, but I have to stop eating like a bird if I am to progress. I dont have many pain free days, either old shoulder or knee creaks play up. But Im out there doing it and having a crack.

                          Still rocking along, weight levelled out at 88.X kilos over the last couple of weeks. Which means I hope, that the fat is still going, but the muscle is coming onboard just as fast as the fat is going...<br />
                          <br />
                          Will find out on Thursday when we see out trainer...<br />
                          <br />
                          Leg workouts still hell on earth, shoulders / chest / back workouts not so hell on earth, but still ample!!

                            That's what I've started taking but everyone tells me it'll take 6 months before I feel the benefits. You're implying they worked quicker than that on you.<br />
                            <br />
                            Shoulder gets really sore, don't know why and a short rest normally fixes it.<br />
                            I've (apparently) got carpel tunnel (excuse spelling) in both hands and need an op to fix them however using the throttle, clutch and brake on the bile seems to be helping this so will leave the surgery option for a while yet, only really hurts when I'm using tools like a hammer or screw drivers.<br />
                            Knee.. one had a cartilage op a decade or so ago and has always been a bit untrustworthy since, the other does most of the work and gets tied. After a resent crack I thought I was in for another op but having started to again wear a knee support when doing exercise it seems to have come right and actually feels better than it has in years.. properly because it's caring around 23kg less.<br />
                            <br />
                            Heel spur I'm managing with anti-inflammatories which do help alot. One doc didn't think it was worth operating on and just told me to stop doing the exercise so I'm going for a second opinion from a doc who's supposed to really know his stuff, unfortunately that wont be for 5 weeks.

                                      gutted with results, measurements and fat etc going down fine, but have been overdoing the aerobic side of it, and lost a kilo of lean muscle mass too.<br />
                                      <br />
                                      OVerding = 2 50 minute walks a week!!!!!!!<br />
                                      <br />
                                      So have had another tin of tuna 185g to my mid morning snack and 3 x 20 minute aerobic sessioins a week.<br />
                                      <br />
                                      I love this lack of running that is for sure, but I think I am growing gills...!!

                                        WEIGH in this morning - 87.3 kg, and 11.3 percent fat by our flash scales at home.<br />
                                        <br />
                                        training remains the same at the moment, still hard as a hard thing - legs today, so walking optional for the next two days...!

                                          Bart its going to be hard for you to get back on the rower. I'll expect 30min straight up thanks.
