This high/low metabolism is a load of gash- It’s all in your head mate.
Ah Paulie that can’t be good for you. Will you not be gorging yourself on pizzas and burgers when you break the fast? I thought the starve/binge thing was very bad for you.
Either way, I put away a good amount of food and not a pick on me. I certainly could not manage that 20 hour fasting nonsense unless it was for trocaire or something and that would be a phenomenal effort.
Go read about it… It’s intermittent fasting.
mate- dont give too much information to mongs such as horsebox & glasagusban- an early death for them due to diabetes would be a good thing
Mong is a very offensive term to me mate-would you mind using a different word when abusing me?
But on this one occasion you are right me old mate, Horsebox… I am heading to Antwerp in an hour and I’ll be bingeing on Beer all weekend…
See it’s true for Kev, you just don’t listen
Ah lovely Paulie-enjoy. I may check in with you next week as Antwerp has piqued my interest of late as a destination.
Been doing a set of weights circuits once a week, I like it cause it’s fast and also I’d be sweating bullets after it which I want since I don’t get much cardio in because of IT band problems. I threw this together myself and will no doubt be informed I’m doing untold damage to myself, if so I may as well have someone tell me now.
Clean and press 40kg x10
Incline situps with twist x30
Explosive pushups x12
Deadlift with bent over row 40kg x10
Backward lunges with forward raise 10kg x8 each leg
Barbell jammer 20kg on the bar x8 each arm
Try not to rest between exercises, 4 or 5 sets.
Serious circuits session tonight.
Fucked after it.
did a kettlebell session myself, need to get a heavier kettlebell me thinks…
2 pushups, burpee and pullup x 6, 6 sets.
40 seconds flat out on punchbag x 5 (1 minute rest in between)
Skipping For 90 secs (1minute break) x 5
Russian twists x 10, 5 sets.
Military Press 5x5.
All in comfort of my garage with dance tunes blaring out across the rugged landscape.
Sitting down to a huge dinner now.

Nice. I like being able to train at home.
Ya alot of KB is about technique and endurance and you can build it pretty quick and the KB you bought last month is fucking useless pretty quick. Sell it online and prt it towards your new one, not quite as frustrating.

Lower back issues galore I’d say. Keep it simple.
Power Movement (Jump Squats)
Push upper
Pull lower
Core stability
Push lower
Pull upper
Core rotational
Mix each exercise in with a mobility or flexibility exercise while resting.
One leg
Yes, need to get a few more bits to complete it though.
My neighbour is a welder and I was going to get him to make up a squat rack. There is a load of iron lying around the farm which could be used.

Cheers Kev. Lower back feels right as rain though, and those weights are light enough, only problem I have is persistent ITB trouble. Care to translate those push upper pull lower bits into actual exercises for me? I should say this is only once a week high intensity workout as I’ll be doing two or 3 strength sessions and a cycle and some core in the week also. Not training for sport.
Doesn’t really matter if it’s for sport or not, that’s the balance you need to help avoid injuries, it’s not certain of course, but it helps. For instance alot of shoulder injuries in GAA, Aussie Rules etc have been attributed to guys doing too much benching and not enough pulling (chins, rows etc).
Just do a circuit, but high intensity if you are already doing other strength work. I lOve this, bit you need to do it outside. Do this consecutively.
- Plank x 1 min
- Burpees x 8
- Press ups x 12
- run 100 M ( or 30 secs on treadmill)
- deep BW Squats x 10
- Chins x 8-10
- One Leg Dead lifts x 10 each side (BW)
- Run 100 M
- walk 45 secs
Do it without rest repeatedly 3-5 times.

Looks good, cheers. Running is what sets off the ITB big time though so that’s out at the moment. As is training outside for another month or two being honest.
