Operation get ripped(ish) for holiday is in progress.
I had my 3rd session of the week today which I'm pretty pleased with. I did back, biceps and core.
I'm nailing the protein shakes at the moment too. I'm taking 3 a day which equates to about 150g of protein plus whatever I'm eating, I've put on about 3lbs so far this week, although I could just be due a really big poo.

Finished my run, just under six miles.52 minutes. Wind against us at the beach.

Good work BLF, keep it up mate. Are you just doing weights or are you doing cardio too? If you can, alternate between weights one day and cardio the next, it'll give your muscles more time to recover and cardio's a good fat burner.
150g of protein in 3 shakes is too much, the body can only absorb 35-40g of protein in one go. Just scoop a bit less powder in mate.
It's suggested you need around 1.5g of protein per kg of body weight. Any more and it doesn't make much difference (other than to your wallet).
Did 52km on the turbo today, best session of the year. Form is looking good for my main ride next month.

I'm only having 3 a day for the first few days as that's just what it says on the tub, I'm such a philistine. I'm going back down to 2 tomorrow. I weigh about 82KG so that's 123g of protein I need, so I am actually wasting a bit ffs!
I only do weights as I have a stupidly fast metabolism which means that if I even skip 1 meal I'll lose a pound or two. Plus I can't be arsed. It might be an idea for me to do a run or two though to sort this core out.

A turbo trainer's a stand thing that you hook your bike up to so it's like an exercise bike isn't it? You must have been sweating your nuts off doing 52km with no air flow!
Did you see the Cycle Show on ITV4 the other day?
I'm a bit sad and keep a diary of what I eat in terms of calories, carbs and protein and typically average around 100g of protein a day just in my normal diet. I only weigh 57kg so that's more than enough for me, but it sounds like you're getting whey (gerrit) more than you need.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to what the box says. They just want you to buy lots of it
In terms of recovery things like getting good sleep is just as important.
Yeah that's right (and yeah, was sweating a fair bit). Should really get a fan, but I'm racing in the Alpes next month so getting used to heat is probably no bad thing.

I'm just like you Bainesies foot, my metabolism is ridiculously fast and I just don't gain weight. Hence why I'm concentrating on muscle building/toning because I'm a scrawny bastrd.

Hahaha.
I'm not clued up at all when it comes to diet, or even training for that matter. I could probably do with knowing a bit more really. My sister just finished a sport science degree with a 1st, maybe I should consult her more.
It's crap isn't it, but also ace at the same time. I'll rue the days when I can't eat what I want without ballooning, it won't last forever.
Putting oats in with your protein shake is a good way to get some extra carbs, and cheap too.

Had a nice quick little workout today. Didn't have much time because my wife's ill so I had to look after the baby all day. Here's what I did:
15x press-ups
15x squats
15x crunches
I did each exercise one after the other as fast as I could, no rest in between, then had about a minute after the crunches. Did this 4 times then moved onto:
15x chair dips
15x lunges
15x leg lifts
Did these the same way as the first circuit. Took about 20-30 minutes all together all on the living room floor.

Advice from anyone but Chico is usually good.
Did a quick 120km ride this morning before settling in to watch the boys in the road race.
