The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Ams12]

Aye im not super strict like a calorie counter. As long as i hit my protein intake & around 300g of carbs i'll feel ok. Reassess after a few weeks and adapt numbers according to if my abs are more or less visible!

My abs are never visible- I drink too much.

[Ams12]

Haha who needs abs when you have tree trunks for legs & a pair of guns!

[Roboklopp]

Not sure my guns are that big really- they don't seem to grow as fast as the rest of me. 16.5" I seem to remember them being measured at in work one time for a laugh.

[Ams12]

Lol that aint bad...as long as they fill your shirt sleeve! Try adding in a few extra arm sets at start & end of every workout for extra volume & gainz!

[Roboklopp]

Arms are always an afterthought for me Arms12. Bore me. Need to work them more though. Are they sposed to be smaller than your neck?

[Ams12]

Hahaaa smaller than your neck! Depends how much you work one or the other i reckon!

[Roboklopp]

Don't do owt specifically for me neck- and it has dropped in size (or re-grown as some of my mates have said) since my shoulder injury. I just love pressing - do a few shrugs of course but nowt insane- so it responds to that when I'm fit.

I've just started to do more cable stuff cos it reduces the load on my injured shoulder, so mebbe that'll help arm growth. I'm kinda the reverse of a lot of these bicep boy clowns ( no offence Mudds) you see poncing around the gym staring at mirrors lots.

Do we start a new one in October ?

Bacon: 9.41km

The thing about doing arms is that the bicep is actually a smallish muscle. The tricep is a much larger muscle and that's what gives your arms the size when you're looking to fill a t-shirt sleeve. Shoulders and arms are probably my best feature in terms of physique...abs are the worst. I have them but they are under a layer of fat which is so so hard to shift. Lower ab area fat. Top 2 abs and obliques are visible but then the rest is hidden

Legs are decent enough. Can't say to me, on looks alone, that I shouldn't miss leg day as I plough on even though it's my least favourite workout.

Think so, well done on getting the first run in already

I just found out I got a ballot place for the London Marathon so I am going to start to clock up serious mileage for the next few months! Can't wait!

Every time I read this thread I am inspired to do some training. Then I get home, after work and life gets in the way.

Recently I like the idea of getting into lifting, not at competitive level, just as something different to get bigger and enjoy the results. Need to motivate myself at a more basic level first.

Maybe I should read this thread once I get home, instead of during the day!

[Roboklopp]

Aye, upper arm is typically 2/3 tricep in terms is muscle mass I believe. But in my case, my biceps do lag my tris quite a lot even relatively.

My shoulders are cool when uninjured. Legs are right chunky little things & my calves are very responsive to training size & definition wise- possibly a consequence of overwork due to my extremely flat feet.

Abs are defo my weak point aesthetically.

[Rowan]

Lucky ****er. I got my yearly rejection letter. Going to do Edinburgh and Manchester instead I think (and Berlin if I can get in)
