Attention all chub rubbers. What shorts have we found help prevent the rub of the chub ? Need some for Chicago marathon as I don’t think I can handle many more chub rub bath pain 

I found step one didnt work with my chub rub, even the sports one. 

Kula are very good and the seams are in decent places. 

You can also try either lanacane anti friction.

I'm using one called MEGABABE atm and its really good and doesn't make a mess. 

Also, when you go to bed wear loose shorts without the sewn in part and put either germoline or sudocrem on the affected areas. 

If it's lower down you can wrap kinesthetic tape around the area to prevent it from rubbing.

8 weeks into my weight loss journey. Joined a local gym, it's like the gym from Dodgeball and i love it!

I'm still fluctuating around the 130kgs mark, but i'm happy with progression.

I can run a mile now at 6.5mph whatever that is! Think that means, i'm never going to be doing long distance running and can walk all day..

Managed a 26km walk in just under 5 hours, that included heading up to the pike from the bottom barn.. 

I'm skinnier, although still with some fat areas, but my arms, shoulders, back, pecks and legs look immense!

I've been measuring to try and keep track.

Biceps 19 inch

Calves 19 inch

Thighs 28 inch

waist 40 inch

Neck 17.5 inch

Chest 50 inch

forearms 15 inch

Weights wise, i've just hit the "1000lbs" club with

Deadlift 200kg, Bench Press 100kg and Squat 160kgs, next target is 600ks..

 

But despite all that, I still look in the mirror and see a belly !

Maybe just me but I find just doing 4 5k runs a week and I don't really have to change my diet at all. Not as easy for the weight to drop off at 47 as it was at 40 but still seems to work.

You'll be at a deficit then. Great work.

Burning more than you put in.

The only thing that matters and unavoidable truth in weight loss.

[gonzo]

That's a lot of running btw pal. Watch those joints!  Plenty of turmeric and omega3 down ya trumpet.

1200 calories of veg and chicken

or

1200 calories of ale, crisps and wine gums

 

apart from other issues, would that see the same results in terms of weight?

In principle 1200 calories is 1200 calories. If you burn more than you put in you'll lose weight whatever you put in.

The difference is how your body utilises what your putting in and the variations on how those calories are burned.

Crack heads are always skinny

[gonzo]

Ie the reason people cut carbs on diets is because by doing that the body switches to burning stored fats.

I've knocked running on the head

no good for my knees

5 gym classes a week now

managed a swim and sauna yesterday too

but drinking still the issue

other half is starting on the mounjaro

think I will join her

[gonzo]

I'm running a marathon in April.

I just asked Ai to do me a plan.

Took it 2 seconds. Would've cost me about £100 off a running coach 🤣

(Probably better in the Ai thread)

That's my issue, running at 21 stones going to cause issues. 

Walking was meant to bring down the weight but a 26km walk is a work out in itself

Walking is brilliant. Anything where your heart rate is in zone 2 strips body fat.

Some folk make the mistake of smashing into running, getting all out of breath and fucked and killing themselves in the process.  In reality although improving your cardiovascular or VO2max you're not actually attacking soley body fat.

You're better off doing an hour of decent moderate exercise and staying in zone 2 than some mad 20 minute sprint where you collapse and can't breath a the way. You're body will have smashed in to stored glycogen instead of actual body fat.

Padel's good for that - Enough to get a decent dab on for 60 mins, but not enough to make you want to vomit and suffer for 48hrs after!

Also good for your arms and core

All the rage now isn't it!

Pickleball seems popular too.

I'd love to have a go but prefer doing stuff on my own.

Ooh err.. Yeah it's good mate. The beauty of it is, you can play with your mates, or with complete strangers and you get just as much out of it. There are some bellends though who take it way to seriously, but generally it's good atured, good fun and gets that heart up to a comfortable, yet fat burning degree. You're much less likely to drop dead doing it too, compared to Squash, which is obviously a bonus!

I used to love playing squash knowing full well I was pretty shit at it and lost most of the time to mates

padel could be good, but don't like idea of playing strangers

might see what's out there in oz when I move, might be a good way to meet folk

[Zico]

just had a look, the nearest court is 25 miles away

fuck that

though I think that's what living over there is generally like, everything is a trek

I'm fully invested in padel 

Me and @royal white were victorious on Friday
