Looking good Bart. Can definitely see the leg workouts in particular paying off.

Great work there Bart, inspirational stuff indeed. I'm a tiny bit disappointed you haven't done the double guns pose though, maybe next time xzxcool

[BartMan]

godda get some guns first (in my best Arnold voice)...

[da_grubster]

f*cking hell mate that is awesome<br />
<br />
can you post the pick of you before you started this rowing/weights business. I think you were slightly (cough!) bigger then!

[BartMan]

I have got a pic at 105kg (weighed myself at the airport!)in Fiji at a mates wedding, sans shirt, I'll try and track that one down, but nothing of me before that when I was pushing the 120 boundary... (thank fuck)!!<br />
<br />
This mornings weigh in 86.7kg, 7.7% BF (but that BF thing on the scales changes from day to day, think more to do with water content than fat, as varies between that low of 7.7 through to I think 11 something the other day)!!

[quote name='Mainlander'][quote name='BartMan']glucosamine (spelling?) RB is the one - I have had trouble with my feet for years, pain all the time etc. the mrs always saying, take the damn pills. I finally did - and wham, ready for a bloody marathon!! Give them a crack anyway![/quote]<br />
<br />
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 />

Hey just sharing some advice I got from a coach who's one of nz's top ironmen (and used to work for NFS who make these products)..<br />
<br />
on the box they say you should have 1500mg a day.. he was saying that for my size 6'4 105kegs that i should be chomping 4500mgs a day.<br />
<br />
plus treat it the same as something creatine i.e. there is a loading period upfront.

[BartMan]

Mainlander - yes, they worked for me within days, and when I don't take them, feel the pain coming back too...<br />
<br />
So time to does up on more than eh WTW!!!

You're right, your levels of hydration will alter your BF reading - well according to my PT instructor anyway.

[BartMan]

<br />
And as an aside, a have lost a foot in my girth since starting fat busting! Weight now 86kg, from a high of 120 - 34kg goooone.... and yes, you do feel better for it!

Bart how are the strength gains ? bodyweight exercises should be easier now I'd imagine ?

[BartMan]

don't have any chins or dips at the moment in my training programme, and can only manage 20 press ups at the end of my chest workout - 1 set to failure. So no idea!!

[MN5]

I'd imagine there'd be a few extra chin ups in you now !

[BartMan]

went to trainer today for more measurements etc. bodyfat down another percent, chest has increased a cm (first growth!), but weight remained pretty much the same - so muscle mass has been added. I weigh in on her scales at 88 (as opposed to the 86 on my home scales), and need to weigh i on comp day at 82kg, so 6kg to lose. <br />
<br />
So diet starts to get stricter now, and I expect an increase in aerobic activity from the 3 x 20 minute sessions a week I have been on!!
