Well done on the fat loss, muscle gain and improved stamina! I have a Boditrax machine at my gym too and while I don't think it gives you accurate measures, it is great for monitoring trends over...
My weight is oscillating slightly between readings but staying within the 73-74kg range. I am fine with this for my height (5' 11"). More importantly, composition is gradually improving. According to...
Huel Black Edition for lunch 5 days a week is continuing to reverse my weight gain. From memory, I have lost about 4.5kg in just over 3 months. Most of it fat loss according to gym scanning machine....
Checked again today at the gym - 5 weeks since replacing weekday lunches with Huel and 2 weeks since the last scan. Total weight down again, fat percentage further down and muscle mass up more. At...
This is probably not going to be very popular here but early signs show this may be working for me so I’ll share…
I noticed my weight creeping up very slowly and scans at the Boditrax machine at...
Getting rid of loose clothing is a great feeling, isn’t it? When I was losing weight, I went from large to medium then small for casual and from classic to slim then extra slim and finally settling...
I hope you are right but can't be sure. It's true that during each of the previous gym closures, I ended up gaining a little bit of muscle mass, losing a little bit of fat and keeping an almost...
Well done! I am the same height as you but about 5kg heavier. I have noticed my weight creeping up over the last few weeks but in the absence of gym scanning machine, can't be sure whether it is lean...
Weighed myself today and found that I have gained about 1.5-2.0 kg (don’t remember the exact starting weight) since the current lockdown began.
So far this year on average I have run 43km per week...
Let's not talk about running too much in this thread. Lots of experienced runners on this forum that frequent this one instead: https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?439620-TZUK-Running-Club and can...
When I increased my running frequency from twice a week to thrice (only 5k runs), even before I began upping the distance, I got a terrible knee injury. Probably not a problem many people would face...
Due to missing the gym too much, last Friday I got myself a bench with a preacher, foam leg support thingies and barbell rack. The set also came with a straight barbell (I only had the curly one),...
I have wondered that too but never really tried finding out because regardless of what the answer is, I have to do strength training to support my running. It would still be good to know.

It's the single leg RDL part before going straight into a forward lunge where I find it easier to maintain better form with KB compared to DB. Personal thing I'm sure - whatever works.
This...
I find barbell hip thrusts far more effective. Just place shoulders/upper back on a box/high support, bar just above the top of front thighs/hinge points and lift the hips. Can't do much wrong with...
I bought an over door frame pull up bar, TRX style bands to use with doors, stackable elastic resistance bands, a gym ball, barbell and dumbbells at different points between Spring and Autumn last...
Ha! Among other things, there was yummy looking garlic bread on the dinner table this evening. I asked my wife to bring one slice close to my face to test my will power. As much as I wanted to stuff...
Well done! Just shows there is no need to go OTT to see results, at least in the beginning.
So true and in my case, the fact that I have stopped seeing those improvements is pushing me to...
Get well soon Ryan. Hope it’s not serious.
I miss my gym. Hope we come out of lockdown soon and it reopens. I don't have enough weights and lack a proper set-up at home so I find myself improvising (in other words risking injury!) a lot and...
I do weight training 3 (occasionally 4) times a week. Diet whey protein with water after strength training or with coconut + plain water after running. Casein protein in plain water before bed. Milk...
I can't stand the taste of diet drinks. It's either regular coke (which I really like but consume less than once a week on average) for me or plain water. I mix my protein shake in coconut water and...
Another one here who doesn’t get the idea of intentionally losing muscle. I’m 43 and can echo the comment above about gaining muscle being so difficult as we age. Despite consuming a lot of protein...
Inspired by the broccoli photo above, I have changed my diet a tiny bit. Three evenings in a row, my dinner was a boiled egg, lots of green leaves, cucumber, hummus and olive oil dressing. Fourth...
