My training thread, progress, advice etc

[Kev]

Managed yet another personal best pace for a 15 minute row, it's great that I'm still improving and that its become part of my daily routine.

I am now officially in the best shape I have been in for 12 years which is pretty great.

Trainging has been really frustrating the past couple weeks. I've actually got weaker despite training regularly and eating well.


I'm some way off my top rowing pace and my last three workouts I've actually been struggling to lift what I managed a couple weeks ago.

I've only been training since February, lifting weights since March, surely I can't have plateu'd yet

Also my sagging stomach is annoying the fuck out of me. When I was overweight and fat I hated my manboobs. Now I still have them, but also have this horrible saggy w-shaped belly pouch to contend with as well.

I'd say in the past couple months I've noticed no real improvement to my appearance or strength at all.

From the way people talk I thought I'd gain about 10lbs of muscle and double my strength in a year of hard training.

After 5 months I don't feel like I've acheived much at all.

I still the same now as I did bu the end of March. No change whatsoever.

Fucking hate this getting fit malarky, just starting to think I'm genetically incapable of being buff.

I've changed my Fitness Evolved routine to a more advanced 30 minute workout called New Year New You. It's really good! Took me a couple goes to get the hang of the new movements but there are some great exercises. My favourite is Oblique Swings where you basically bring your knee up to and across your body, whilst swinging you arms the other way. It really gives your sides a good burn and I think its toning my lower abs and sides.

Hoping a few weeks of this will help burn the fat and resculpt me so I look much better.

Anyone else use this software/game? I love it.

Haha Pouch.

Heres a vid of Bilbo having a crack at some of his human detractors.

Bilbo by the way your describing it, your probably skinny-fat. I think bulking up then cutting is a better option for you but each to there own.

I think he meant 'Skinny cunt'

I cant get past this pouch thing.
Get it pierced and you can use it like a purse.
