This makes sense. We do mainly running at football at the moment. Very little pushups and situps and the typical old school training techniques. As for rowing, obviously we are just in the boat and mix it up between sprints and longer distance things. I can definitely feel the drain this week...

Hello everyone. I posted a while back that i had some pretty big fat loss goals and i nearly got to the exact weight i wanted, but realised once i looked in the mirror and got honest about myself, that i was well and truly as low as i needed to go. I was still about 5 or 6 pounds off what I'd...

I read an article (i can't find the link right now) that said the non-essential amino acid, Taurine is useful for fat loss. I was wondering if anyone knew anymore about this? I can't seem to find the exact article i read online, but it was very interesting and i wanted to read more about it if...

I guess that's what I'm thinking as well. Now I'm really just trying to figure out what to include on those two workouts. This is what I'm thinking so far: Squat Deadlift Chin up Shoulder Press Seated Cable row Bench Press Crunches Am i missing anything? Or would you change that? Is two...

I understand what you're saying here and I'd love to but it just won't work like that. I wouldn't have the time to do them all in one go. Also with the intensity of the cardio workouts i wouldn't like to be doing them after or before weights.

It's that time of the year again where i start to look at getting fit for my sport! I'm not quite down to the weight i wanted to be, but i have two or three weeks left to get as close as possible. The problem now is how to add in my cardio work. Right now I'm doing 3 days a week weights to...

I ended up stopping the anti-inflammatories and was able to get back on my feet. I wanted to add some more to this discussion. Does taking Codeine and Ibuprofen affect weight loss and muscle gain? I still get lingering pain from a few injuries and have been told to take some over the counter...

I thought i'd throw another update out there, (I'm not sure it's very interesting to anyone but me though!) I did two weeks of UD2.0 and just can't commit to the strictness of the diet right now. I had some success and felt like i achieved something out of it, but i just can't give the time to...

It certainly felt better! I have the luxury of having blocks off at work, but it's not all in one lot, and i don't finish until very late most nights. Thanks everyone! One week down and I'm struggling through the beginning of the next!

I'm only able to work out for 60 minute blocks because i am working so much at the moment. I get maybe an hour or so twice or three times a day spare and if i can break it up into those i can continue doing the UD. Unfortunately I am working the hours the gyms are open, so i don't get much...

I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with this. I am currently in my second week of UD2.0 The first week went reasonably well, but i have a lot of tweaking to do to get it right. I know the parts i let myself down on and am fixing them now. The one thing that messes me up is the...

For those that have done the UD2.0 is fat free candy really a good idea? It's not the first time i've heard to use them, but I'm a bit hesitant. I guess I'm trying to figure the whole diet out really! It's so different to anything I've ever tried before. I'm having real difficulty fitting my...

I'm starting the UD2.0 and for the Thursday afternoon/Friday diet this is what i need to get to: 1390 Grams of carbs 200 Grams of Protein 50 Grams of fat Firstly this seems like so much carbs! How would i possibly eat enough to get this many carbs in around the 30 hours i need? Can someone...

So here's an update. As i said in another thread i had some back issues over the last few weeks which has stalled my progress. I've just finished up getting it all checked out and x-rayed etc. I know what's wrong now, and it's not serious and easily managed and won't affect my training so...

I appreciate that. It's funny because i was prescribed this by a sports doctor. And during the year i saw him for two other injuries. One was a bad ankle injury and another one was a broken thumb. Both times i was prescribed NSAIDs and both times took an age to heal. It's frustrating seeing...
