That site is hilarious
I am not doing eat/stop/eat anyway... I am on the leangains 16/8 thing. And not looking to loose weight anyway, it just improves my digestion by ages.

mtn biking 10 miles or so per day, high intensity / low frequency weight lifting (1 set until failure, only multi joint lifts, usually 30 minutes total workout time, every 3rd day or so), surfing, skimboarding. skiing on winter weekends. Sometimes I sprint up hills.

I've never explicitly worried about a diet, although I eat mostly meat/fish/vegetables/fruit/nuts. Hardly any grains.

Weightlifting is a recent addition to my repretoire, b/c I was way too skinny. Probably b/c of too much cardio. I haven't measured my bodyfat percentage recently, but a few years ago it was 4%.

In response to the earlier chatter about marathons - just did my first full marathon 2 weeks ago (have done quite a few halves in the past) and managed 3:38 - super stoked.

A friend has just signed up for a 100km run that takes place in WA. Also on the list of things to do: the Alice Springs marathon around Uluru (Ayers Rock)

[MoFiya]

Good job for your first marathon
I've given up running that long because I feel like as the more I run, the more likely I get injured (e.g. the risk increases disproportionately high the more miles I run). However, aiming to run around 1:25hrs on the half distance in the middle of September... Hope that works out.

switching to low mg electronic cig til we move into new house and then no more nicotine. realize with 3 kids smoking is not a great plan, especially since i go to the gym 5 days a week

[darkbydesign]

^^Good for you!^^

My parents smoked when I was a kid and I haven't touched a cigarette even once in my life because of the impact it had on their health!

Cool thread. I'm quite the skinny type and always has been. I'm 1.83 centimeters high and weight around 68-69 kilos; where atleast 4 or 5 of the kilos has been put on in muscle in around 1-1,5 years. I'm still rather skinny but it seems much better now after starting in a gym where working out to the point where the body simply fails.
I do gym around 3-4 times a week working mostly on core muscles since that big muscular type doesn't really turn me on. Except for that I do either a crossfit or kettlecross lesson once a week and I run 1-3 times a week a few kilometres. It isn't in any way a lifestyle to me to work out. Its much more a feeling of just having done something good to your body. I like working out in one way or another every second day but if I don't have the time for it theres nothing to do about it. Also I've never smoked in my entire life (smoked a bit a weed at some point, but that made my brain so slow and stupid that I quit shortly after and haven't really touched it since). But I do go out to drink every one or two weeks. A tip from me to you (^^) is that I've figured: if you go to the gym a few hours before going out to party or so, not only is the blood still pumping which means the tiny muscle that I do have is more swallowed up and at the same time you don't have to pay an enormous amount of money to get drunk as the veins are much more open to get the alcohol. So if you can control it its cheaper and much cooler - you don't have to get that feeling where the world spins to the right when you watch straight ahead :D

How do you find clothes that fit?

probably around 10% bodyfat; love the paleo diet, although I'm off of it since my caloric intake is near 3000 a day or more when im climbing hard.


Currently just climbing and then doing opposition workouts on gymnastic rings (levers, flys, core).
