    [quote name='BartMan']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. [/quote]<br />

        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?

                    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!

                          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!!

                            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

                                    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...

                                      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?

                                        mate, it's 40 minutes of torture. Not interval, just slow and steady, get a sweat going, nothing more than 70% of a hard out workout. Just fat burning. Go any harder and you burn into the muscles, which you don't want to do. Theory i beleive is to get your energy from your fat, as the few carbs I am on at the moment are meant to be enough to fuel my weight workouts.<br />
                                        <br />
                                        Whatever the reason, they are the hardest and longest 40 minute stationary cycles I have ever had to do in my life!!! Each minute seems to take an hour!!
