I do above, need to work on my traps some more though - they refuse to grow! :(

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Awesome work Ignitionnet, I wish I had half your will power, heh

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Nobody's going to believe you're an IT wizard looking like that. Geek types are just not supposed to be ripped..

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Hah I wish I had will power, I have a supplement and vitamin drawer that looks like it belongs in a pharmacy instead.

Seriously will power time will be in a couple of weeks.

Not even remotely close to being ripped. In a couple of weeks time I'm going on a 10 week long fat loss mission, after which I will hopefully not be too far away from being called 'ripped'. :)

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

I may have missed it, given that it's 21 pages of posts, but could you post your diet/exercise regime? IF you don't mind giving up your secrets :P

But yea, I know what you mean about the supplements/vitamins, I had about 8 large tubs of creatine and whey stuff once, heh.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

I make my own protein bars for starters out of oats, peanut butter, milk, whey protein and flax seed.

My diet isn't interesting apart from that I eat about every 3 hours, and my diet is quite heavy on protein. My bars are a full replacement in themselves if in a rush.

Breakfast is porridge made with water, with 40g of whey protein powder mixed in.

I eat wholemeal seeded bread and brown rice.

Most of my fat comes from olive oil.

I consume whey protein with water also if my meal doesn't contain enough protein.

Exercise - currently I lift weights 4 times a week, different body parts each day, and I do light cardio, 45 mins of reasonably rapid walking, twice a week along with 2 x 30 minute sessions in addition to this twice per week.

Supplements - erk.

Daily:

Red Yeast Rice with CoQ10 - 1000mg
Complete Multivitamin
High dose Vitamin B supplement
Zinc and Magnesium x 3
Creatine Monohydrate
Liv-52 x 2 Twice / day
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Omega 3 - 2, 2 - 3 times Daily

That's not a complete list, but it'll do for now, I have others that are taken less often.

Sweet, thanks for the details :)

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

I do not condone use of this product and it is not suitable for everyone but it's the least dodgy of the ones I left out. Be bloody careful if you decide to purchase it though.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Why?

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

It's a grey market product, one of its ingredients is banned in a large part of the world due to being implicated in cardiac issues.

If I were to say that it's a perfectly safe product that I highly recommend and someone with a slightly dodgy ticker were to have some and keel over it wouldn't be ideal.

Re: Who Is Getting Fit This Year?
 

Well you deserve it. I dont weight myself as I'm afraid of what the needle will show :( but I intend to keep up the walking as much as my back will allow me to do
