    My legs are in as great a shape as they always have been, but I have been blessed with naturally musclar legs.

    I've been doing jack shit since coming out of L4 too!

      Yeah that was me until about 4 or 5 years ago. My movement from the 80kg range to the 90s was all about my thighs catching up with my upper body and Piri butt.

          @mariner4life oh I've always had calves, just for most of my life they were bigger than my thighs.

                          Oh yeah, this thing.

                          Did some runs and workouts eh. (managed to crank a 5k at 5min/k the other day) Been hovering under 93kg over a week now.

                          Gym opening seems more real now (if they can on the 4th July).

                          Even better, rugby training on the 2nd! Will probably be my first one in over 6 years, looking forward to it! Might have to shift to openside though.

                                @Catogrande I saw this post earlier and bounced around a few responses in my mind - I just couldn't find one I was happy with.

                                You found it, thank you 😁

                                  Sooo...rugby training. 32 max allowed at a time and broken up into groups of 6. Fuck maths.

                                  Anyway, I survived eh! Thankfully due to the numbers and contact restrictions the sessions are limited to an hour so groups can fit in. fluffybunnies half my age are fit these days eh.

                                  Training was broken up into four stations where you moved on after 15 minutes, each with different games/skills/passing/running drills. Luckily my group had bronco last.

                                  Aaaaabsolutely fucken pissed it down and of course this noob put his touch shoes by the door so he'd remember them. And he did! Halfway to training. Running around in old flat sole sneakers on sopping grass sucks shit.

                                  Thought I'd finished the bronco a stage early, so take away the shoes and that pissing about and I think I could have easily gone under 6 minutes - ended up at an unofficial 6:38.

                                  5km this morning was hard to get moving eh, ankles, knees and back don't like me.

                                      @voodoo said in Fit at 41:

                                      I loved it

                                      I'm still on the fence.

                                        Oh and it was about halfway through the "warm up" that I thought I may have made a poor decision. I'd already run out of space on my t-shirt to wipe my sweat so was prolly lucky it started raining.

                                          7km yesterday, 3 and a bit today. Thank fuck for baseball caps otherwise my hair wouldn't allow me to do half of that.

                                          Seem to be pretty much sitting just under 92kg now and noticeable body changes, especially around the midriff and thighs. What used to be a good pot belly is now more like a pouch belly and looks ridiculous though.

                                          Rugby training again tomorrow.
