I hope you've all got your kleenex ready, it's coming.

If I need 3500 calories a day. Eating a lb of lard isn't gonna do me well though. Calories are a useless tool unless you're a bird.

Calories is just a measurement of the energy something provides, anything can be measured in calories, but it's a pretty shit way to measure stuff in my opinion. Understanding what you're eating and what it does for you is way more important than calorie counting.

You want what you can't have. It's nothing to do with the other people probably. Not a lot you can do, just funked, you'll either have to wait until whatever she's got going on ends, or you might meet someone who'll keep you interested and you'll get over her.

Just sounds like you were the one getting f**ked, as per usual the male that's involved. It'll pass, I know that's shit advice and it doesn't help. But I spent 8 months on my own after a break up, as in, I knew no one properly within maybe 150 miles. I went to work, I came home, I watched tv or played games, I slept, repeat, for 8 months. It's shit, but it'll end, normally when you least expect it too.

I didn't know they increased metabolism but I drink quite a bit of coffee. I go to the gym at about 8am every morning so I guess that sets up my metabolism for the day maybe?

I currently do my sprints on a bike or rower. Hardest resistance, fast as I can. Not fun, but seems to be working.

I'd say up the cardio, drop the 10k to maybe about 7k, but throw in some sprints maybe? I've found dropping the amount of cardio I do, but throwing in sprints and sustaining a higher average speed helps me burn more and has probably increased my stamina too, but it's still ring. I need to start road running cos treadmills are gash.

We're just men comparing what we are.

Maybe we all should lol. I'm gonna cut all my fat, Then see how I feel about my size and build from there. But I'd rather look like Bruce Lee over Sly.

Lol, pretty much exactly the same as me then, was in great shape, got with my bird, slow decline to the stagnant mess I am now. I go the gym 3 times a week doing about 40 mins cardio and 40 mins weights. Really want to start doing more cardio than what I am now, but I don't have the stamina yet, trying to build with interval training but it's killing my feeble body.

I'm 6'3, about 13 stone, and I'm not big. But if I lost my excess fat I'd be about 12.5 I reckon. So I'd say you'll be aiming between 12.5 and 13. I do 3 sets of 10, at a weight that I could probably do another set of 10 on but that I'm not dying after doing my 3 sets, if that makes sense. Just my bit of advice, seeing as I'm trying to achieve something similar to you.

I agree, but one person is always getting more f**ked in a relationship than the other. One person will always be ready to move on faster, while I agree that it's a great idea, it's just not that easy to put into practice. And I know if me and my bird split up, and some other bird wanted some, she'd get it.

I think she might have just been saying what you wanted to hear to help you out. She probably lashed out at you because you'd uncovered her ploy.

Similar to when you see the advertising boards at a football match, they flash in slow mo but look solid normally. Dunno if they're LED's or not though.

I think Staedler's are the best.

Looks like sun sun sun tomorrow. I'll be outside St George's Hall for about 11ish hopefully. Town's gonna be rammed though so heading down the docks is probably gonna be a good bet.

Get over it. Is my first point. But go shagging birds. That always helps. Do shit with your mates. Pick up another hobby. Best way to see it is, you can now do whatever the f**k you want, until you get another bird. So enjoy that, while I sit in the library with my bird looking at all these fit, naive first years I should be taking advantage of. And remember, one person always gets more f**ked over at the end of a relationship than the other. It was you this time, it's all chemicals in your head telling you that you love her anyway.

Direction of the grind. I hope you were wearing your goggles.

Seems like you're under the thumb. And while you may not be as young as I thought, she's acting like a 16 year old. Harsh advice, bin her. Softer advice, say exactly how you feel, don't remind her again, if she doesn't show an overall improvement, bin her.

You're young (I assume) and she just can't deal with the seperation anxiety. She'll grow out of it, but you'll have a wait. Relationships generally stifle peoples ability to grow as an individual.

Thanks for the offer but I just watch vids on you tube on my phone, plenty accessible. I'm using just normal balls, but I'm thinking of getting a size 3 or maybe using a tennis ball to improve my touch a bit. But I'm definitely getting there. Anyone see the Chelsea game? What were they thinking. Arsenal getting crushed by Milan was pretty funny too, Boateng is going to be a great of the future.

I admit it's not a perfect rule. But I think we're really stretching my point most 40 year olds are going to be in worse shape than most 20 year olds. Therefore, the 20 year old not only has longer to practice trials (unless they get hit by a bus or some other freak accident) but they should be in better shape, and get into even better shape quicker. The general theory of starting trials, way more complicated than I thought.

You might have read that, but I didn't say that

Is he better than Tra or Damon Watson? I doubt it. I'm not saying he isn't good. I'm saying he can't be as good as someone younger and fitter.
