Nup. You're just weak.

:lol: just talked to one person who got told it was "wall squats" so decided to do squats, moving up & down, for ages :lol:

Anyway, regardless of what we did or didn't do, it's about the improvements :lol:

EG - you jumping in on this challenge? Notor? Sob? KC (chicks at work are doing it)? Erryone?

Just don't believe in eating flesh. And I don't eat fish. Just in case that question was going to pop up. Iron levels are fine and I donate blood every month.

Gaining weight fast and clean. Half a kilo.

Respect.

:lol: You wouldn't be asking that if you hadn't dogged hangs twice.

I've never been to a gym in my life :-"
I just run and do sit ups when i feel motivated every 6 months

:lol: my mum is one of those people who, upon hearing someone is a vegetarian, asks "so do you eat fish?" :lol: She also believes that she can label herself a vegetarian even though she eats seafood, chicken & pork because "I don't eat beef, so I'm a vegetarian". Every time we try and tell her what a vegetarian actually is, she always replies with "oh no, that's a vegan you're thinking of" :lol: we can't bring her around

:lol: well the sutho souljas dogged hangs once :lol:

Do this challenge. I don't plan on training in a gym for it.

I was totally down! Heine bitched it.

i don't even know what some of those things are though :lol:
But maybe i should try...

Alright I'm officially laying down the FFT Exercise & Workout Challenge:

Set 1: Pushups until failure (count how many)
Set 2: Situps in 1 min (count how many)
Set 3: Wall sit until failure (record time)
Set 4: Burpees in 2 mins (count how many)
Set 5: Plank until failure (record time)
Set 6: 2.5km run (record time)

3 minute break in between each set.

Record your results by Monday 23 Sep (post in here, add to list) and at the end of Oct we'll record results again, and the best improvements is the winner.



EG - what exercises do you need to know how to do?

Wall sit and burpees?

Oh dear. Intervention is needed. That annoys me. Up there with those who shove propaganda down your throat and tell you that you are a murderer etc.

Tell them to shut up and eat their lettuce.

More like too Jew to buy a decent scale. ;)

I donate to monitor weight, height, blood sugar levels and get a free feed. In return I donate a bit of blood on a rest day. I really don't buy people's excuses for not doing it.

Do you supplement essential vitamins and minerals like b vitamins and magnesium?

How did you come to the conclusion that eating flesh is wrong?

Not judging, just always interested in people's reasoning for going pescetarian/vegetarian/vegan.

All good.

I didn't use too, but since returning to the gym I do. I've made the decision 5 and a half years ago.

I worked at a butchers. Blood everywhere. Decision made.

I take magnesium tablets, multi vitamins and protein shakes.

If your taking protein shakes make sure you check out Bulk nutrients.

And that goes for everyone else out there that takes protein and other supplements.
I purchase off of them regularly and just took delivery of another 20kg of protein powder for a group of friends.

Yep, bulk products are fantastic. No hidden surprises, wholesale prices. Just be careful of some of the supps. Bulk are pretty up front if ssomething tastes terrible, but I was pretty taken aback at just how terrible the creatine and bcaa without flavouring tasted. The flavoured versions were fine, though.

I really haven't had a problem with the two products you mentioned, however I do know where you are coming from with regards to the tastes of some of the products.

That is to keep them as pure as possible I presume, as these products are marketed more towards the serious guys who will take anything and not worry about the taste.

I have had a few orders stuffed up from them, usually 1 in 4 orders over about 20 orders so thats annoying. They usually fix up the orders pretty quickly and its understandable when you order over 20 products. So I still recommend them highly after 3 years of ordering.

Shall enquire. I take Musashi or whatever it's called.

Omg I can't even do one pushup, so I don't think I would manage that challenge very well :lol:

I'm not good a challenges.

I did streets with hills. Just mapped out 1.25km away from home, ran there & back.

I guess it doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you do the same the next time you test to judge improvements compared to the last time

I know a couple of people did running track though.

I plan on doing and training for this challenge without the use of gym - some people at work are using a gym though.

Anyone else keen to do this?

Attempted 100kg squats for the first time today, easy mode.

Makes me wonder why I never tried sooner but I guess that can happens sometimes, you never know unless you give it a stab.

-PB

beast!

Ty.

Gonna try 3 sets of 10 @ 100kg next legs day.

Did deadies for the first time in farking yonks today as well, surprised my grip held up lol.

Not doing the run to start with. My hamstrings and quads are too tight to go up and down the hills here at the moment.

Set 1: 35
Set 2: 36
Set 3: 61 seconds
Set 4: 23
Set 5: 43 seconds
Set 6:

Wrong thread again.

I wish I could squat that much. :( I'm too tall.

Hi all,

I'm doing a bit of travelling for work and enjoy morning and evening walks/jogs and 'climbs' (on natural walking tracks not roads). I'm keen to know good walks/climbs in both Sydney and Newcastle as I'll be there next week.

For instance I was in Townsville this week and went up Castle Hill and along Strand, Canberra has great tracks around lake BG, and Perth had a number of inner city option but I ended up going along the river then up to Kings Park.

Sydney-Newcastle watcha got for me?
