Fygle's road to mass gain

[Boss Man]

Yeah, Fygle, we're giving it all to you. It's like a Max Sennett talkie production from the 1930's, but in 21st century, glorious technicolour .

Cardio day:

Was in a hurry today so I had to make the workout short but sweet. No ab work.

5 min warmup > 20 min HIIT > 5 min steady state.

Excellent autumn weather here these days. We've had ~62F and clear skies. Same time last year we had snow! I'm liking this a lot

Used to do 100 inclined push-ups a day, resting our Palms on a boulder for upper body devlopment, then we used to get some rope and tie a boulder to ourselves and sprint with it, for 50 metres in the morning and again at night to buff the lower body up and boost Lung capacity .

That was in my past life when I was Joe Weiders Dad. I taught that weight training rebel a lot of what he knew, before he left home to experiement with weight training theories of his own. Ungrateful wretch .

[Fygle]

The only reason I'm sad I weren't alive in the 30's is because I'd love to do cardio with one of these, in leotard and mustache.

[Bonnie]

Wonder how ones gets on that bike..

[Bonnie]

my god.

[Fygle]

Cardio day:

12 min misc ab work > 10 min warmup > 20 min HIIT > 10 min steady state.

[fitoverforty]

What do you do for your HIIT?

Any mountain hikes scheduled for this weekend?

[Fygle]

I do 20-30 sec sprints, both up hill and straight. No, the weather here is getting worse now, so no trips scheduled. I think maybe the season is over

[Boss Man]

If that guy's wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, then that's one seriously crappy tan

[Fygle]

Didn't even notice that. Serious Tour De France tan he's got going there.

[Boss Man]

Either that or he's tanning gradually bit by bit, so friends and relatives who haven't seen him for a while, don't get a complete shock, if he appears to have suddenly gone brown.

[fitoverforty]

Around here we call that the "farmer's tan". My grandfather had one, most especially on his left arm...caused from driving his farm truck (1957 Chevrolet pickup truck) with the driver's side window down and hanging his arm on the side. good memories there... - I guess in England you would have one on your right arm? I forgot you guys don't know which side of the car to put the steering wheel.
