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

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

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'.

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.

Ignitionnet · 30-04-2011, 20:10

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

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.

Why?

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.

Well done everyone taking part in the thread.

I've lost 33lbs now, managing to do more cycling too, loving every minute of it. making the most of a quiet spell with my RA.

Keep up the great work folks

Ravenheart · 01-05-2011, 22:09

Aww thanks Wayfair and Sasha

My RA makes it harder at times, but it's still going in the right direction.

Sasha222 · 01-05-2011, 22:11

but I intend to keep up the walking as much as my back will allow me to do
