J∆kk∆ls Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Which exercises are those? #askingforafriendMuscle building exercises. Weights or kettle bells. If you don't want to get big then don't lift heavy weights. Lift lighter weights but do more reps. For the record this works for me. I am not a personal trainer.
lechatnoir Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Also from a burn point of view, try Fasting ridesIntervals Avoid trying only one method Yes to both of those. Also intermittent fasting... It all cumulates. It also allows you to switch things up and tweak. Those fasting rides work like a charm. I do it for most 90min or less work outs. Just don't end up far from somewhere if your body feels like having a good bonk! Done 5 hours on a single espresso. Wasn't too fast, but that's down to spaghetti legs... The "general" honest response I get is simple, "You build your six pack in the kitchen". I truly believe this. Truer words...
deonkretch Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Had to check the URL after reading some of the comments, thought I was on www.DietHub.co.za My 2c's - Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight (especially around your belly). Some reading/listening here: http://adbl.co/2sWTv57 (Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health) Well done on losing the 20kg's!!
Patchelicious Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 I have heard that if you face palm yourself often and hard enough that you burn sufficient calories to lose weight.

Building muscles is not that easy and won' just happen by itself - you have to consume a lot of calories for that to happen. Add to that, that this is a cycling forum and most folks here are active cyclists, a lot of the 'gainz' will be offset by too much cardio. I.e. you can't really be a good cyclist and a swole bodybuilder.

Kalahari Vegmot Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Full-body HIIT. Oh, and please take a video. I would LOVE to see a 1.9m guy doing burpees...

But I know of a pretty strong and built dude that cycles like a demon. and never said it would be easy!!!

But I know of a pretty strong and built dude that cycles like a demon. totally different concept. Track cyclist are not endurance athletes, which I should probably added to the 'good cyclist' comment.Look at track cyclist and 100m athletes vs the skinny ultra-marathon runners. One trains for strength and speed, the other for endurance.
Honkdonk Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Metabolism is an amazing thing..I weigh 5kg more now than I did when I finished high school in '9173 then, 78 now, but its also genetic. My old man was a skinny runt in his youth so I have some of his genes and on my old lady's side there is some 6ft plus folk in the family so I have the best of both.Regular rides of mixed tempo combined with a regular runs means I keep the weight at a constant. Eat and drink what I like - of which there is plenty beer - more than I should to be honest..Should I follow a more structured training program with a specific gym program I would tone up and shed a few kg'sMotivation is critical. You need to WANT it and want it bad!Different strokes for different folks
Patchelicious Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Body builder types are the best and fastest at everything! If you don't believe me, go try and race against Sly Stallone and Carl Weathers on a beach somewhere, you will lose!
