    Interesting article...

    Geez, this forum used to be such a nice friendly place, where people could enjoy open discussion and honest debate without having someone constantly doing a sales pitch.

    which diet should i follow?

    I lost a heap of weight doing a keto diet, but each person if different with how many carbs they can consume and stay in ketosis. Back when I did it, oats would have knocked me out. You can buy sticks that you pee on that measure whether or not you are in ketosis. Meant for diabetics and...

    Help with Gym Program

    The PT Triple packs have changed at FF. I did mine 5 years ago and got the PT pitch. now they have to give you a series of booklets with recommended workout, diet, etc. I love my FF, but have trained at others that I hated and made me understand why so many people can't stand FF. But mine...

    Bash at the Beach 3

    Well thankyou! It's interesting hearing you talk about your son. When I worked at the women's gym, one of the big focuses was teaching mums that it was OK to take time out to exercise and do something for themselves, the whole 'mother guilt'. Makes me realise how much dads are forgotten in...

    Interesting article...

    I like of how he thinks of movement as a chain. If something is the chain is not working properly, other parts overcompensate for it, which can lead to problems, particularly overuse and imbalances. Take my problem of grip and forearms. Unless I keep doing exercises that develop my forearms...

    This was sent to me by my trainer. Interesting considering the dismissal by many of 'isolation' exercises... The “Functional” Training Delusion By Erick Minor Functional training is not superior to traditional strength training for developing usable strength and fitness. For the last few...

    Again, the difference between men and women! Just remember that all females are screwed in the head when it comes to physical appearance and have much higher expectations than any hot blooded male.

    I will be on another road trip for work next month. Will see it up then! Reckon it would be good to have a 'journey thread'- how people got to where they are now. Most people don't just wake up and decide that deadlifts are their destiny.

    Yep. You get hooked on the endorphins, pity about what you have to endure to get it.

    At the moment I do three weights sessions a week and three to six cardio. Cardio is anywhere from 20mins to 45mins. I have cut back- I was doing cardio twice a day, six days a week plus my weights until my trainer said I needed to address my 'obsessive tendencies'. But back in my fatty days...

    Bash at the Beach 3

    Not everyone is motivated by competing in comps. Like Markos said, some people need it. Me, if I enter something and I don't win I am shattered (reason why I refuse to play pool). But the person I can always beat is me, and no one places more judgement on me than myself, so I will always try...

    Marko, I really like a lot of what you say, it's just how you say it that is the problem (what a girl thing to say). The way you write is intimidating and for most women to read your statements about spewing when training, etc, it is more likely to alienate them than encourage them to use...

    I work in sales and sometimes I would love to punch my customers in the head, but that is not the case all the time, with everyone. Maybe I should have gone for a forum ID that concealed my identity more before making this statement...

    Maximising Minimalism

    Thanks for the post with the pics Kyle. I hate seeing the doctor for a check up or anything like that (ie Wii Fit) because he enters everything into a BMI calculator. My height and weight put me in the overweight category. I have a tiny waist (63cm thank you very much) and smaller boobs, all...

    Ahhh, so you are more of an instructor than a PT? Don't expect any form of respect when you talk to people like they are idiots. I can deadlift 120kg these days. I have had to back off and start doing some rehab work as my job has been causing some problems with my back. Also have achilles...

    What motivates females to workout?

    I'm stepping up the 'lead by example' assault on the boy. Buying a shiny, fancy new bicycle. Super excited! Once he sees it, he'll want one to.
