@rancid-schnitzel dunno is linked to my watch, I was at gym for over an hour today and finished with 5km bike ride so that number seems about right

️I don't know. You reckon you cracked a grand in the space of an hour? You must have been going at it like a demon.
Sorry just saw above. I assume the bike was high intensity?

@rancid-schnitzel was 72 mins all up, yeah HR around 150-160+ on bike.
It isn't a crappy watch and I've often thought numbers were actually on the low side with some activities haha
That said, even if those numbers are say 25% too high, my deficit is just smaller, but still a deficit...maybe in a fortnight 5kg will just disappear

If accurate then it's a mathematical certainty. Just continue what you're doing

I dunno if it will have any impact but on some strong antibiotics at present too (day 11 of 15)

No gym, back to walking up the maunga
-
Struggling for motivation in lockdown again, but went for a walk with Mrs TR yesterday and then did a 25 min HIIT workout today:
- Walkout push ups
Skipping
Seated jump squats
Plank (where you move into press up position and back to starting)
Kneeling rows (with resistance bands hooked at top of door)
5 rounds
Skipping is bloody tough...not sure I'll ever get to this chicks level....
- Walkout push ups
-
Push ups, goblet squats, shoulder press (with resistance bands) knee raises and reverse Plank hold (for 20 sec each round)
Reps: 20, 18, 16....2
Then HIIT Skipping...30 sec work, 10 sec rest for a bit over 6 mins
Had to do some calf stretching at end, first couple of rounds I go 30 sec sweet, last few rounds I hit my legs/feet several times each 30 haha
-
Wife's birthday today, knowing the food that was in store thought I'd go for a bit longer walk today taking the longer route up the maunga, 5.4km
Ended up jogging up the steps, then pretty much running, albeit a slow pace, down and back along to my car.
HR hit 190 briefly but I did try to keep it above 140 from the ascent.
-
Yesterday did a workout where I started with 3 reps, then 4, 5, 6 through to 12
Walkout push ups
Goblet squats
Upright rows (resistance bands)
Seated rows (resistance bands)
Bicep curls (resistance bands)That took alot longer than I expected, and the last few rounds of Walkout push ups were hard.
Finished with HIIT of 25 sec work 10 sec rest of Skipping and punch bag for 8 mins.

Hit the gym last night!
Stll well in net calorie deficit, weighed 98.2kg this morning, which is 1.5kg loss since I stopped my anti-biotics 8 days ago, so unsure if that had something to do with we retaining weight.
Still having issues with my tennis elbow, nothing major, just annoying, people I talk to often say how painful it is, mine isnt painful, just annoying.
Bit harder stretching the muscles on the top of the forearm, but trying to up the stretching and work on them overall.

I get that when I do elbow push ups, my right ( I’m left handed ) flares up and is pretty sore. Everything else seems fine, just those particular exercises
I just Deep Heat the shit out of it and try and ignore it.

So weighed in at 97.4kg this morning, almost another keg in a week, so things starting to move in the right direction.
Also been doing a few new exercises for flexibility/mobility of hip flexors and shoulders, can really feel the benefit of them in my creaking old body haha!

She's hot work at the gym currently with no fans and water stations off!
Stuck on 170kg for my deadlift, so might need to dial it back a little and try doing more reps at slightly lower weights for a bit.
Hovering around 97-97.5kg at present, starting point of 101kg 6 weeks ago. I'm consuming on average 2200 cals a day, going to the gym 4/5 days a week.
So 96 was Dr's goal for me to hit and maintain for my cholesterol check, but I'm going for 95, and I reckon my cholesterol will be right.

96.4kg this morning, pretty happy with that.
Better eating playing a big part, but also finish every workout with 10 mins cardio helping too I expect.
My gym has turned the fans back on in the last few days and also turned on the drinking tap again, thank fuck.

So a week on and still at this weight...so has slowed, despite looking like I'd hit my target of 95 fairly soon.
A bit frustrating, but this weight loss is certainly different to when I've dropped weight in the past (can usually shed 5kg in a month pretty easily - purely eating better) but with the gym and eating more (although still in calorie deficit) it is alot slower.
Also decided I need to stretch more, flexibility is ok, but ok isnt ideal, so been doing a fair bit, mostly on my shoulders, lower back and hip flexors, but have noticed improvement already.

Do plyometrics and jumping exercises. Great for flexibility

Farking so hot working out at moment, getting through 3L+ of water during a workout.
2 huge workouts this weekend to offset the fact I knew my calorie intake yesterday and today was gonna be huge - 5000+ past 2 days (conservative estimate) but that is the worst Xmas weekend (in terms of food/drink) out of the way until Xmas actual.
Been taking my boxing gloves to the gym and finishing on the bag for my cardio, been worried it may affect my tennis/golfers elbow, but I think it might turn out to be good for them, certainly good way to finish a workout!

I put being a bit leaner these days solely down to shadow boxing and bag workouts ( although as we’re in an apartment while looking to buy frustratingly I can’t do the latter at the moment, the bag is in storage ).
Top boxers are, in my opinion, THE best all round athletes on the planet ( although top Rugby players are up there ) and just throwing lots of punches, moving, bobbing and weaving I can see why. If you do it correctly it’s not just cardio, it’ll work the explosive power fucken well too. I wish I’d done it more regularly years ago but better late than never.

Doing rounds on the bag must be outstanding cardio. Really should get into the boxing side more.

More fun than swimming, tougher on joints though !
