I should really take note of this one goal at a time thing.
At the moment, i'm cycling 10 miles a day (commute)
Gym 3 times a week, which is a full body workout, each time 3 sets of 10.
Deadlifts
Bent over row
Shoulder press
Bicep curls
Tricep cable pulldown
Cable abs
Kettlebell sides
Goblet squats
Then finished off with a 6 minute mile on the treadmill (although yesterday was the first time i'd managed the mile in 6 minutes, i've been working up for 3 weeks)
I'm also doing 1km in the pool twice a week.
Have knocked the Insanity workout on the head, as I was knackered every day the first two weeks.
Diet is simply clean foods, lowish carb, plenty of protein. Lost a stone in the first two weeks, no movement this week.
Feel better though, that's a start, just need this belly to go.

Looking for some advice guys, have started training again since my failed attempt last year and it's going well but I've got some questions regarding my routine.
I am in the 3rd week of Stronglifts 5x5 and the Petes Beginner rowing program. I do the 5x5 on Mon,Wed,Fr and the rowing on Tue,Thu,Sat.
Is this too much? Am I cancelling out my strength and muscle gains by doing the rowing and vice versa? Would it be better to do both in the same day i.e morning 5x5 and rowing after work to allow for rest days?

Bugger! well, I'm going to have to leave this challenge at the last hurdle. with only a month left, I sprained my ankle yesterday, and am not allowed to partake in any gym work for at least 4 weeks
The good news is though, event though I sprained it after 1km I still finished the nuts challenge yesterday. We managed it in 1:49:15 7km, 90 obstacles, and so much mud! It was a great feeling, oddly wading through the icy water is what kept my ankle in check long enough for us to finish, and it only really started swelling up badly last night.
Here's one of the many great moments of the day (we're the group on the right, I'm in the middle)
Good luck everyone, and I'll join you again in winter.
4 weeks of upper body for me :P

Yeah, diet is back in check, afetr a Sunday of feeling sorry for myself I got my st together and have stopped feeling sorry for myself.
Going to have a word with my PT and get some sort of upper body program together for the 4-6 weeks while my ankle sorts itself out. While I'm not at the gym I've cut my calories back, but I'm itching to get back and get some work done.

Sounds like you had fun on Sunday fella great stuff. Going to have a word with my PT and get some sort of upper body program together for the 4-6 weeks while my ankle sorts itself out. While I'm not at the gym I've cut my calories back, but I'm itching to get back and get some work done.
TBF id feel the same if i was injured. Maybe you will be able sort something out in the gym maybe swimming to keep you ticking over.
Keep your head up chief
So how can i help speed up recovery time ? Upper body im fine however i could do with my legs recovering faster. I think im doing to much with them tbh.
Obv sleep and food have a lot to do with it i think im ok on that front.
Are there any supps that can speed things up - as long as its not a waste of time i might give something a go.

If any one eats protein bars, I can personally guarantee that these ones will be the tastiest ones you've ever had: http://www.echosupplements.com/department/protein-...
The peanut butter one is just awesome!

Well, perhaps when he started, he was 50% bigger!The only thing getting a workout from that is probably the machine. He might experience a bit of a workout by gripping the handles and standing for the time if I take a glass half full approach!
