  | Just got back from the gym. Did 14 sets of triceps with 4 different exercises. Then I went for the hour bike class. I am quite happy as I only put on 1kg in the 2 months that I was off on the injured list.  I must confess that I did some heavy lifting today even though I vowed to never do go back to that. I hope my injury does not come on again.

| People with a history of body building/ weight lifting tend to have big eating habits to sustain the energy expenditure and muscle building. Its a bit like running a smaller car hard and fast to keep up with the ones with bigger engines. The more fuel you pump through the lines the faster they clog up. You don't see a lot of athletes living to a really old age. Yet the nursing homes are full of little old ladies who have never lifted anything heavier than a broom or frying pan. I read a study a while back that indicated most mammals, (including humans) tend to live longer on a very low calorie diet. The theory is that its genetically programmed so that in lean times when food is scarce cell metabolism slows down extending lifespan and breeding opportunities for when things improve. |

| Things are going good with my workouts. I weighed in at 113 kg today. I am doing lighter weights these days. 12 to 16 sets per body part with 15 to 25 reps per set. I am doing an hour of cardio four times per week. My diet has been a glass of fresh squeezed juice for breakfast, various Thai meals for lunch and for dinner, a steak and veggies or eggs and steak or all two beef charbroiled hamburgers without a bun and veggies on the side. For snacks in the evening, I an just having fruit - Guava, Pomello, jack fruit, apples or pineapple. I have cut out all sugary snacks that I normally crave and am only having soda once a week and that is just a small juice glass full. I feel this diet is working. My clothes are loose again! It seems my injury has healed up!!  |

| I gave myself food poisoning on Sunday. I couldn't eat anything at lunch yesterday; the smell of Thai food made me want to puke. I had a few soda waters in the evening, followed by a cheeseburger & fries, which made me feel much better. Then I washed it down with about 10 gottles of geer. Squash has been postponed recently due to holidays and such like - should resume next Tuesday.

| I want in Chitown. My stats are almost identical to your own when you started. (don't remember what kg's) 6'5 260, and I'd like to get down to 225. I walk A LOT at work and climb some ladders, but I think a slowing metabolism, poor diet, and no cardio keep the weight on. |

| A few years ago, before I moved here, I went from 220 lbs to 170 after I split up from my missus in the UK. This was achieved purely from drinking copiuous amounts of beer on a daily basis, and only eating about 3 times a week. All my friends were amazed, and asked me what was the secret (some of them thought I was on drugs/ had Aids etc). There was no secret, only beer and vitamin tablets. Didn't do me any harm in the 6 months that it took to lose it, and now 3 years later I am 160, although I do fluctuate a little as I don't drink so much and eat more. They say beer makes you fat, I would beg to differ on that one as it actually made me lose 50 pounds. |

| Not sure what is going on, other than eating like a pig at Tmbas today. I am up to 114 kilos. Still dieting and doing an hour of cardio 3 to 4 times a week. Maybe I have put muscle weight on instead of fat. Monday Chest - 16 sets of bench started with just 20 kilos plus the bar (35 reps), then 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 ( 6 reps) and then back down 90, 80 down to 20 kilos with 25 reps. Then 9 sets of dumb bell presses on a flat bench starting with 60 kilo then 70, 80 90, 100 and down again to 60. Then did 8 sets of incline bench starting with 50 kilos up to 100 and down again. Finished the chest off with 4 sets of seated butterflies. Tuesday - Back 8 sets of pull downs whole stack, 4 sets of morning glories (machine) whole stack plus I threw on 2 25 pound dumb bells. 5 Sets of lower back machine and 5 sets of upper back machine both the whole stack. 3 sets of shrugs 90 pounds. Wednesday - Triceps 6 sets of barbell skull crushers 80 lbs for 15 reps each . 5 Sets of pulley pull downs with 40 pounds for 12 to 15 reps. 6 sets of one arm lying down extensions 35 pound dumb bells. 4 sets of close arm bench press 50 kilos plus the bar. 1 hour of RPM class. Today - Biceps 6 sets of standing barbell curls 80 pounds, 6 sets of seated preacher curls 70 pounds, 6 sets of lying down cable preacher curls 35 pounds. 5 sets of close to the body curls for 25 sets each. All of this followed by a 400 gram rib eye and pasta at Timbas washed down with 2 cokes. No wonder I can't lose my gut. |
