sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I'm back running a lot and have cut the shit out of my diet. Match days are a total write off though. I take the bairn to my mams on a Sat morning and she makes me a sausage and egg stottie, I'm then out on the beers all days, then I bring back a takeaway for me and Mrs SLP later on (dependent on score). The calorie intake must be unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21756 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 been doing some high rep, low weight training with my new trainer. totally different type of training to what i'm used to but quite enjoying it. been feeling like a big girl putting next to no weight on the power bar but it totally works, you just fatigue in a different way. he's been preaching about time under tension too. so the idea on an excercise like bench press for example is that instead of busting out 5 or 6 reps of the heaviest weight you can lift but pushing up and down at a steady pace, you drop the weight by about half, lower it over 4 seconds, hold for three seconds then push up in one. 10 reps of that and arms and chest are like jelly.

JawD 99 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Sounds like what I've been doing. The negative of the rep is usually over a few seconds. Thats actually more important than the positive element. So 1-2 seconds up, 4 down etc. We do 4 week cycles. So 4 weeks doing 5x5 routines, currently in 4 weeks of doing 4 x 8rep sets though last set is doing as many reps as you can, then the last 4 weeks is usually 10-12 rep sets. Concentration is on good form and the full movement etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We do supersets, so for example Ill to 1 set bench and 1 set dumbell fly with no rest between. Then Ill rest 30-45 seconds. On the 5x5 sets i do rest more between as Im using a heavier weight. When he has me doing supersets of 4 (Monday was Dumbell reverse front raise - Single Arm Dumbell Bent Over Row - Dips - Barbell bent over row - Rest) I was fucked after each full set. Good though.

Dr Gloom 21756 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Negs are nowt new boys! Been doing those for years Blazing a trail. Got to admit I felt like a girl putting 30kg on the power bar instead of 70-80kg like normal but pleasantly surprised with how it works. I haven't tried that whole time under tension thing with the top end of what I can bench but doubt I'd get more than one or two reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6961 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 They work just as well at the end of a workout. The last few reps you can't manage, get your spotter to lift the weight up and then you take it down as slow as you can manage. Gets you an extra 4 or 5 reps and beasts whichever muscle group you're working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4669 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well today I am 14 stone exactly and no longer clinically obese. I am now simply overweight like so many on here I think it only fair that I now pass on my Chunky Monkey forum fatty tag to someone more fitting. Deserving candidates that spring to mind include Fist, Meenzer and Stevie however if there are any others who have yet to reveal their obesity, please step forward and claim what is rightfully yours.

Kid Dynamite 6961 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 It goes to show how horrendous your diet is if you can drop that much weight in a few weeks from just eating in moderation. It's like on the biggest loser when they lose a stone in the first week week just because they don't have 3 big Macs for breakfast anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The lifts were off at work this morning. I'm amazed by how unfit a lot of people who work here are. Not even just the older/fatter people, some of the young'uns were struggling too! We're on the 3rd floor (4 flights of stairs if you come in from the car park/basement level) and you could tell who walks up every day and who usually waits for the lift. Even at my most unfit I've always been able to manage a few stairs FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44094 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You see people here who come back from their tab break and stand and wait for a lift to take them up one floor. Absolute pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
