Might do a dexa scan again at some point, interesting insight on my last one.

What is that.

Something you have to attach those electrode thingys to your bod?

 

[Shell]

Like an ECG

 

[phantom13]

Nah, body fat percentage scan. More like an X Ray/MRI sort of thjng

 

[Shell]

Gotcha.

How much do they cost??

 

[phantom13]

I think i got some deal for about $70. I reckon the scan is around $100 and a consult is like an additional $50. The scan kind of tells you everything so it doesnt really need the consult IMO.

Hurry up and make the announcement.

Shall- swim Thursday, and gym Friday. Hurry uuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.

 

[Mofra]

Looking good for Shell and the rest of us.
Today is a sprint session day anyway

 

[Shell]

Will go gym 10am jump on cadio and watch the open preshows. Then weights and be home by noon to watch semis

Just had some ice cream

I actually don’t really like ice cream but I actually had some tonight too... weird.

8 week training block of 6 days a week with two monster sessions finished up yesterday. Took the day off today, think I wanted it mentally but needed it physically, really feeling 8 straight weeks of niggles and aches.

Ice cream is my kryptonite. Im talking your gourmet variety here, not the crap from the supermarket.

I try and convince myself there is some protein in it.

I guess if you are smashing one litre at time which I do, I probably would get a bit of protein out of it.

I cannot begin to tell you how important a good nights sleep is to a gym program.

Mind you I have had decent gym days with zero sleep. However, you can only do that occasionally. It does take its toll on the body.

No you need sleep.

Once i was so weak and tired i thought i was legit going to fall over on the treadmill. Iirc i lasted 30 mins and had to go home

 

[GROTTO]

Whats your poison

Newbies (the idiots that dont know what they are doing, but act like they do) and overweight men (the ones with zero form, lifting heavy) at the gym.

I lose my s**t with the way they disturb my place of peace.

But it is gourmet ice cream nevertheless.

I just can never understand why people who choose to eat ice cream eat cheap crap.

because it's cheap and still tastes bloody good I just go for this one because I'm a sucker for pure vanilla bean creamy flavour: Streets Blue Ribbon Classic Vanilla

 

[Kram]

These days I think they seem put a lot of average ice cream in a small tub and try and pass it off as 'gourmet'.

 

[Shell]

I like Sara Lee
