Test your mettle..................Whats your best ?

will people stop suggesting exercises i either....
cannot do due to not having the equipment
or
cant do due to injury (i've just got back into being able to do chins pain free afer months of crippling pain, i am getting stronger but thats not the point )

how about a morning cardio type jog (fasted cardio) should come in handy for the lads on a cut?

Great idea
I'll be up for a couple of them as they fit into my current cardio routine
I'll give the rowing a go on Wednesday
What's the easiest setting, 1 or 10?

I'm sh1t at pull ups tbh LOL, maybe 10 at once....I was gonna suggest like a 10 mile timed bike too but trident will cain me on that too LMAO

Not a bad idea though

how about a fast typing exercise? us fatties may win something then

or an eating competition (450grams of pure beef earlier with a plate full of veggies)

1 is the easiest but it's actually really hard to go quick on setting 1 (in terms of avg/500m pace). The higher the setting the harder the resistance, but then once the fan thing is spinning inside the mechanism it turns much quicker, thus meaning you go faster - so not sure which one to use really!

Thanks for that, I genuinely don't take much notice of the setting I just get on it and go for about 15 mins for approx. 3000m.

If you're trying for a fast time or rowing as far as poss in a set time then setting 10 will give you the best results really - it's harder to keep a quick strokes per minute pace, but the momentum of the fan turning fast makes you eat through the metres much faster too.

If you're just going for a general 15 minute workout then it doesn't really matter I guess. But for the purpose of this thread stick it on 10 and your times will look better then!

My best for 800m swim is 9.20 but that was in a long course swimming pool (16 lengths) so that converted to a 25m pool at (32 lengths) is 9.05

That's fast mate, I don't get it though? I'd have thought a 25m pool would have a slower time than a 50m pool due to more turns

I'll have some of this, I'll post some up in the coming days....

No you pick up speed off the turns and underwater mate

ahhh, sorry, yeah makes sense

Ok....still panting like a dog after that fcuking magic 50 bollox...nightmare....9 mins 48 secs with a 20kg dumbell

did this as it looked the hardest tbf but I now have bad chest burn LOL....I'm pretty out of condition, I just found that out...not particularly because of the time cause I'm pretty pleased with that as I've never done anything like this in years....I am just taking ages to recover, it's 20 minutes since I finished and I'm still fcuked

I'll give this another go in a fortnight, right now I'm off to call NHS direct....

Can I post a score of 50 please on the press ups

No biggie like, there are a lot worse things for you than using steroids, I mean I probably shouldn't have been smoking crack or getting into bar fights at your age TBH  - drab4

neb , i was fair sweating after it too , i can recommend the 100 burpees too for all over knackeredness !!

nice work boys....

Very impressive time indeed!

Gonna go do 3 miler now, if I post this it means I'll do it!

Will log 1.5 mile times as its 2 laps

Probably do some burpees when I get in but it won't be 100!

The race is long... and in the end, it's only with yourself.

good luck mook, what time you looking for?
