cant beat a lazy day now and again can ya! work all weekend, gutted, i hate working weekends. next workout is chest triceps and shoulders on monday. my fave day! carb up all weekend and hit it like a champ!

I have kinda been on vacation for a week and would love to work! I don't know how to enjoy a lazy rest day cause I start getting very antsy and watch the clock lol

im the exact opposite, once my training and work is done i can sit around alllll day!

I wish I could do that!

What's a normal day of eating look like for you? I find I get some great nutrition ideas from people on here.

Looking forward to following your training, and as per anybody else feel free to shout out of you want any help or advice with anything. Hope you are having a nice lazy weekend, sounds like you are lol.

my food is pretty much the same all the time, in the summer i eat way more fruit and less starches cuz i cycle so much but in the winter its bread beans potatoes rice pasta etc cereal an rice/soy milk now and again....


thanks mate, appreciated!

I need to do some fruit shopping today, I've been craving a few different ones lately. You eat any fruits or foods that aren't overly common?

ermmm not really there isnt anything out of the norm here really and if there is its expensive! i love fruit, ive eaten 30+ bananas in one day on big bike rides a few times

bet theres some good fruit where u r MF?

Sounds like you have the right attitude about things mrbear. Haha I am having a hard time not cracking up referring to a real person as mrbear. We should put up a thread about who has eaten the most bananas in a day or have a competition to see who can eat the most.

Wow, that's an insane amount of bananas !!!!

I miss the big bike rides, when I was training for cycling my longest rides were about 200km which when I was in top condition could knock out in about 5hr30. I found I could maintain my muscle mass a lot better with cycling, but with running it vanishes really fast.

Um, not sure I want to be a part of that banana eating contest haha.

Post up a photo of your bike mate, I'm assuming it's a road bike?

your a fast cyclist then ! yeh i find it easier than i thought it would be to keep muscle when cycling, strangely enough my legs grow better from cycling than weights!

ill take a pic of it now i have a few bikes but this is my fave!

my gym, and bike

Trek looks nice, what model is it? Guessing from your seat height you must be pretty tall? Here are my couple of bikes...





The yellow Jeff Bruce is a custom bike that's mainly been assembled from Colnago/Campag parts but I'm running DuraAce on it. The red Avanti has been set up more for my Ironman/triathlon side of things. Funny thing is that the yellow one is probably faster!

its a trek 2.1 with black 105 groupset, leopard tour de france colours, i like to pretend im fabian cancellara when im on it haha yeh im 6'4 hence my seat lol

you got a big chainring on the jeff bruce bike! good pics mate, check out those biceps! do you still do much cycling?

That top pic of me on the Jeff Bruce bike ~ I also liked to pretend I'm Fabian Cancellara! That shot was taken just after I'd gone off the front during a city criterium race. Managed to hold 60kph on my own for a 1km lap before I got caught and I think I ended up finishing more or less dead last haha. My tactics are pretty shit sometimes.

Nah, don't ride much at the moment just because of the powerlifting. I find I need to focus completely on whatever sport I'm doing but I do miss the cycling. I was always best in the hills because of my low bodyweight, windy conditions and TT's I was useless! How about yourself, where do you normally ride and what kind of courses do you prefer? Do you race at all?
