'We knocked the bastard off'

[BartMan]

that 120 is about what five or more years ago though...<br />
<br />
This weight loss has been from the 95-97 mark I have floated aruond for the last few years!!<br />
<br />
Expect I'll get back up to about 87-90 when I finish this, ceratinly going to do nother comp, but hopefully will be in heavier category - getting down to 80kg is a real battle. I am only two years off maters though xzxgood which is the over 40s... heh heh heh.

fark me sideways witha rowing machine...<br />
<br />
My first row on Sunday for 4 months or so. 20 minutes (followed by 20 on a bike for my 40 minutes cardio) and almost died. 5102 metres, but just zero in the tank, was struggling. The lack of carbs in my diet at the moment certainly showing there!! but felt good to be on the machine!!

It might be time to reset all the tables in the concept 2 forum eusa_whistle

[BartMan]

lol, I think it would be ideal, dammit....<br />
<br />
amazing just how much energy was not there!! Lungs were fine, I amlomst could not row fast enough to make myself struggle - just nothing in the tank, noting I tell you!!

[Cutter]

So does that mean you got burn in your legs quickly and couldnt sustain it? <br />
<br />
I've noticed recently how important energy is when cycling. I "bonked" during a long ride but when I had a muesli bar, some water and gel, I was right again straight away. <br />
<br />
Apparently the body has three sources of energy which it calls on. Does anyone know much about this?

[BartMan]

nope, could not row hard enough to get there Cutter! just had nothing there to push myself with. Hard to explain. NOt like goiung hard and then running out, just run out to start with!!

Click clik clikity click. Had a camera at our last visit to the trainier - yesterday, so here will be some pics. Results though, all good, trainer even let us go and have macDonalds!! SO Macca chips and an deluxe cheeseburger, along with a chicken Pita Bread was a treat and a half, although felt crook after with the flood of fat intio the system!!<br />
<br />

[Hooroo]

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrripped!!!!

[BartMan]

getting there hooroo, geting there!

[MN5]

Outstanding work Bart, you could grate cheese on those abs !!!!!!

[Red Beard]

Is that you Bart? Mate incredible transformation (compared to me you looked incredibly ripped even before you began this odyssey), youve obviously worked your socks off. The back pose photo is freaky shit!

[WillieTheWaiter]

can't wait to see the shot with you lubed up with the super chocolate tan!

[BartMan]

that is disturbing WTW eusa_think <br />
<br />
bloody three coats of spray tan, then three coats of some other shit, and then the last chocolate stuff to top it off is the go apparently - I'm going to look like little black sambo!!

[BartMan]

Mrs BartMan completed the Whangamata 10.2k fun run today in 55 minutes flat. <br />
<br />
I took just over 1000 photos, I am more tired...<br />
<br />
but bloody good time I reckon considering next to zero running training - probably the last time we ran was the Mt Maunganui challenge on an other thread. <br />
<br />
So carrying little body fat is obviously good for you!!

[Paekakboyz]

totally ripped dude! well done, I think the eating side of things would do me in... although going through the process with your missus was a great idea. <br />
<br />
Do you find yourself 'accidentally' posing when picking things up!!? reaching for milk at the supermarket etc!! <br />
<br />
let us know how the comp goes and good luck

[cyclopath]

Whoah, Bart! Seriously good work there mate.<br />
It's been bloody impressive, and interesting to follow this. <br />
Keep it going.

<br />
Lol, nope! but much less self conscious at the gym now when I slip into the aerobics room for some posing!! <br />
<br />
not counting the days, but 26 to go or so....!!

Do some back stretches and "hanging" apparently that makes you grow. I'm 1.9 in the morning but 1.89 or so by the evening, I might try some for shits and giggles...

[ACT Crusader]

Great pics there Bart.<br />
<br />
Just a question, I note from the other thread you do 40mins cardio machine work for a workout. Out of interest what is that for and what is the impact on your bodybuilding? Is it interval work?
