January 17, 201510 yr Author oh lord have mercy, you are speaking to me in a language i can't comprehend there yu ;( what i think i need is something like a mix of 2/3 toning and 1/3 bulking if it is possible to do such a regime? Could do two sets on a medium weight, and then one set on a heavy weight :lol:
January 20, 201510 yr oh lord have mercy, you are speaking to me in a language i can't comprehend there yu ;( what i think i need is something like a mix of 2/3 toning and 1/3 bulking if it is possible to do such a regime? Apologies for the late reply, been really busy lately with work! :drama: Yes it is indeed! What you do is say, work out how much free time you have thus calculating how many days per week you can work out. You would then spend the one day bulking (use heavy weights and less reps) and the other days on high reps but low weights. Although if I were you and can bulk easily, I would first do the bulking phase for a couple of months (or how big you want to get), before then switching to toning thus defining your muscles by doing cardio as well! ^_^
January 22, 201510 yr Author My gym has got a lot quieter this week... have people given up on their New Year's Resolutions!?
January 23, 201510 yr I most definitely haven't! It's still on with me (although cheated a bit by eating excessive chocolate for one day only :()
January 26, 201510 yr I've slowly gone back to the chocolate. Although still doing the walking each day.
January 30, 201510 yr Author I've slowly gone back to the chocolate. Although still doing the walking each day. Everyone has their vice :lol: The common consensus is to have a cheat day once a week to get any temptation our of your system! Anybody doing a "dry January"?? Since its over on Sunday, be interesting to see if anybody's kept to it!
February 17, 201510 yr Author Anybody still going to the gym or doing their best to keep fit then?? :lol:
February 17, 201510 yr I'm still gymming.. but I think my fitness/health is not where it needs to be. Only problem is that I'm trying to put weight on (and it's working) so doing extra cardio to get fit burns all the extra.. so catch-22 situation really for the time being.

Have you tried interval training? In theory a minutes sprint at high intensity and a minutes jog. Has the same lasting effect on your body as lifting heavy weights, plus you don't burn tons of calories.

There's a very simple way of pitting on weight - get older. It worked for me :lol:
February 23, 201510 yr lol Good to see some people trying to be fit :) Myself, I compete in Athletics as a sprinter and also coach a group too as UK athletics Sprint Coach I do about 12 sessions a week :) work full time and also in a band lol i spend my life drinking coffee :-P I dont think i could survive without the stress relief of training hard tbh
February 23, 201510 yr Author Sounds amazing mate, what's your best time!? I agree that training does release positive endorphins which relieve stress. Genuinely feel better about yourself after a good workout.
February 24, 201510 yr 10.8 for the 100 and 48.3 for th 400 (i still do 400) Not raced indoor though this year as being doing way too much band stuff so neglected the speed/sharpening work a little lately I do get a kick from being in pain after a session though lol
February 24, 201510 yr Gonna start doing a bit more exercise and eating a bit better from March, found out I'm going on holiday in September and want to trim down a bit (as I definitely won't be getting any action looking like I am at the moment! :lol:)

February 24, 201510 yr Remember, no such thing as 'toning' - you can bulk and gain muscle or cut and lose fat and show muscle already gained. Furthermore, one CANNOT lose weight/ fat AND bulk at the same time. Whoever says that is LYING unless they are a. on steroids or b. a complete beginner.
February 24, 201510 yr I'm planning on starting again next week, cause y'know, alcohol and student activities got in the way :blush:
March 9, 201510 yr Mack Vices are absolutley fine as long as you train hard enough! lol I train (athletics) 6 days a week and frankly I eat awful lol but my body is on point! :-) lol You just gotta work harder to have the food you enjoy too
