Pretty good and funny article about an Irish Superbike racer who weighs around.. get this... 345 lbs.. !!! :eek:

I started out around 230 lbs a few months ago and am now down to around 190 lbs and can definitely feel the difference it makes. Weirdly enough, it really helps keeping the front end of the bike down, now my gut doesn't get in the way when I tuck in.. :D

P.S. A "Stone" is 14 lbs.

You will loose a lot of weight that is stuck, intestinal "plaque" within your intestines and lower bowel.

Conversely, drinking a mix of pysllium fibre and lots of water would also clean you out.. but not as thorough as the colonics...

I always have fat ..... asking me how I stay in shape, and I answer,... diet..

That's usually when they get depressed because of the commitment needed.. I usually say, " no worries, you can always ride a Hyabussa or a Hog and no one will judge you..."

Man i need some pointers from this guy being a 6ft 2 fat a$$

Even down to 9% bodywfat, I recall how my ZX-10R would get a nice high speed weave, as there was no where to hide behind the fairing.

Currently 305 [emoji15]... And I will admit, it's hard to get a full flat tuck on the bike but none the less I do get down. I'm not a blob lol, have been lifting weights for years on and off... But funny thing is someone told me they thought id be on a V-star because of my size... Hahahaha I said, I'm all about going stupid fast and hanging in the turns... And for that, I go with the best sport bike there is. He said yea but cruising is just as fun... ROFLMAO! ---sir have a good day [emoji867]

I have always lifted weights, but I haven't been so good at the aerobics side lately, but I made a radical change to my diet, based on my Doctor asking me to try it and MAN has it made a difference... He put me on the "Wheat Belly" diet and I feel better than I have in 20 years.
 
im 227 lbs without gear just added a conscious cardio effort of 30 min stair master to my routine of weights. looks like im going to have to adjust my diet though just cardio isnt working. i do have a 33 in waist though so im not complaining would just like to drop a few lbs maybe say 215.

"Wheat Belly" is a great program, derived from a cardiologist"” our modern wheat is not like our ancestors wheat 200 years ago and as such causes inflammation in arterial walls that could lead to a heart attack or stomach distension...

My Doctor is friends with the Cardiologist that wrote the book and he's a huge believer in it. His own father and younger brother died from heart attacks and he himself had huge problems keeping his cholesterol numbers in balance until he tried it.

Cheers.

Lifting weights won't cut it if you are over weight, you're just building muscle that is still covered by fat.. ..change the diet ( consider getting off red meat, have chicken once in a while, eat fish, have lots of beans, tofu and lentils and of course.....
...more cardio...

Lifting lighter and doing more reps, helps get cut (which is the goal) and if done properly will keep the heart rate going to be in the fat burning stage... And yessssssss I end the session with 30mins on the tread, Mon-tues-thurs-fri.

As for the for food, I'm on a protein diet and yes chicken is number 1 on my diet list

So are you guys doing suspension work on the panigale or is it doing well as is....

Quite frankly, the stock 1299S setup is freaking good, even if you ARE over the weight limit.. Like I said, I was close to 230 when I bought the bike and am now 190 lbs.. I have reset the sag a few times, but there's not much of a difference. I think the 1299S got the electronic suspension right. It's utterly brilliant at the track.

Cheers.
 
anyone know where they can get this "thin vs fat" article from fastbikes? or know what issue it was in?

A common but incorrect assumption, only Calorie deficit's will get you "cut" All the working out in the world won't do anything if you don't cut calories in line with a target weight for the amount of work you are doing.. lifting light with lots of rep's doesn't burn near as much calories as you might think. Lift for strength do cardio to burn calories.

I typed up a big thing on my exp lifting for 15 years, then realized nobody would listen or care anyway LOL so I'll summarize and everyone can take it or leave it.

1. COUNT Calories
2. EAT FOOD, supplements, protein powders etc are ALL garbage.
3. Workout and do your cardio before you eat anything, usually this means early morning, the upside of this is directly after that you can eat any garbage you want (fitting inside your calorie target) and it won't hurt you one bit, in fact the "More Junk" it is, the better. I know many will want to argue this one, that is fine, I don't care.. I could explain, I'm not here to teach though. I just giggle when I see people eating the "POWER" bar before trying to get cut by working out for a couple hours.
4. Water, 3x more then you think you want or need...
5. High rep/High set workouts are not what you think they are, 99% of everyone isn't a body builder and don't have the fortitude to be one so don't try, low rep/low set/HIGH weight will be better for you in the long run LEARN what proper form is, Build Strength... the cardio will take off the body fat along with meeting calorie targets.
6. HIIT for cardio is better then long endurance training (and has just been proven to be so)

Take these for what they are, MY experience.. While I have had great training at times in my life most of what I have learned is through trial and error.. I know some people will not agree and that is fine. I don't argue about lifting on the interwebs anymore :D

very good info right here i would like to add if you are really trying to lose weight the best time to do cardio is first thing in the morning. you burn the most fat that way. if you do it at night you burn what you already have eaten through out the day and dont get rid of the reserves. first thing in the morning on an empty stomach you burn stored fat.
if you cant do it in the morning you should do it 2 -3 hours after your last meal.
i know its hard to do when you actually have to work and stuff
 
I agree (although if you google search the scientific community is split over workout on an empty stomach vs lined stomach (not a full one!!)
However, the thing that has always tripped me up is that damn red wine!!! Just can't leave it alone. I think I know exercise so I can eat & drink!!
 
Finally, a most refreshing post where no one is bashing each other for their opinions on Moto GP riders or speaking down about these riders even though,they couldn't ever come close to beating any of them, even if they had the best coaching in the world...
