Don't worry about how other people do, as long as you are achieving personal goals thats all that matters :)Quote:

The "mines" are 19 shots each. There are 10.

You wanna see the rest my guy has, 5foot tall rockets that are the size of 2lt coke bottles. 100,200, 4000.... Yes 4000! shot bombs....

In my misspent youth we used to have firework fights. Snap the sticks of rockets an use them as hand grenades. Roman candles were like your run of the mill AK. Airbombs made good sniper shots lol

Ive leaned off a little but my leg muscles are huge in comparison to what they used to be, my thigh muscles are becoming defined and my calf muscles are going that square bulked out shape they do too :d
But, ive also had a full month off the alcohol and ive actually dropped a stone!!
Few beers tonight as ive finished my month of abstinence, but i wont be hitting the beers as much as i used to:thumb:
No clue what Strava is....
My weights been the same for a while, till this week. Which is very annoying.
Sounds like you're doing very very well.
Drop your calories by 500 and you notice a difference in weight fairly quickly, or even a fat burner added in like T5 or ephedrine.
Strava is an app to track your rides. It has the bonus of virtual racing too so on a hill or segment you can push harder knowing you can try and beat someone else.... Is silly but great motivation.Quote:

Personally never used t5 but I've used ephedrine ( the real stuff) went from 15% bodyfat to 11% in matter of weeks, that was along with good exercise though.
also I said he could add one in I didn't say to only rely on one.
Theyre bad for your heart.
You may aswell just take mcat or speed,its just the same side effects.

My weight has been the same for ages and ive cut pretty much everything out apart from beer (which ive just done for a month) and although i can see and feel my muscles building up, and my weight not changing (which says straight away that im burning fat and replacing it with muscle) because im not physically dropping in weight it is disheartening, but stick at it though mate, but tbf if youre enjoying your biking, and youre having fun, then thats all that really matters:thumb:
When you stop droping weight you need to up your game,ie drop some more calories or up the intensity.
You will build a little muscle,but not constantly.
ive put mine back on after two weeks lol! GOOD!! , going to get a donner kebeb in a min lol
I've just had a massive chicken tikka and doner kebab on a naan bread...was fooking immense lolQuote:

Buy a nice bike then, ive got two, ones a 1998 kona with almost full xt and xtr, and ones a 1993 with lx and xt, both are properly fun to ride, the 1993 Lava Dome cost me about £90 off ebay and has about £50 thrown at it, and is just as fun offroad as the 1998 one, its not always down to what you ride, we did a 24 mile local ride at the weekend (which took in lots of the biggest climbs, which equated to over 2000 feet of climbing) and one lad rode a 1992 raleigh activator and was at the front of the pack all the way round, i kid you not!

See i have the prob i want the best. I love DH, do i want a full sus downhill bike..lol Almost bought a GT from Leg on here..
For normal riding, no you do not want a dh rig, and most likely you don't need a full bounce (plus with us larger gents they areally aren't capable of taking us either). A decent spec hard tail will more than see you right.
im in a middle of the range bike and it too, shed loads of time off my rides compared to the old heavy thing I had before.
I like the upright riding possision you get from a dh bike, so i find riding them much better.
In which case you want a modern hardtail, theyre all set up in the 'sit up and beg' position these days, go into your local shops and have a nosey, just avoid bikehut/halfords lol
I really wouldnt suggest a DH bike as there is only one thing you can do with it, go down hills, fine you might think, but what about going up the other side?
I rode Dalby forest a few years back with a mate on a DH rig, struggled to keep up with him on the downs, but i was stood about at the top of every climb whilst he walked up them, bored the crap out of me and ive never ridden with him again!
My modern ht isn't sit up and beg :p then again I found one with a long top tube to get my lean on :)
Getting told this morning that ill never use my work van again because its a death trap, (I have been telling them this for 6 months), it went in for a service and a few repairs yesterday but the garage have said they're surprised the front suspension hasn't collapsed and folded under the van already!!
yay new van for me!
Would of refused to drive it personally, they cant make you drive something thats a danger to you and others on the road can theyQuote:
