    Good, cheap protein on Amazon and a heart rate monitor that actually works and doesn’t cost $500?

    @ms7dc Your choice of protein supplement isn't going to solve your poor diet. If you don't want to eat a lot of bad food, eat a lot of good food. It takes effort. A protein supplement and a heart rate monitor are way down the line that begins with discipline and consistency in the kitchen...

    Update: felt like shit, went to doctor. Not dying

    @joseymiller Well at this point I have had so many full-body CT and MRI scans, X-rays, ultrasound imaging, blood panels and specialist tests that I have a very, very clear picture of my overall health! £30,000 worth in the last 12 months in fact! I have access to a private GP service now so...

    Update: felt like shit, went to doctor. Not dying

    @joseymiller I went to my doctor and said 'I'm 35, everything seems to be OK up to this point, what can we do to benchmark me? I want to find out how my major systems are, what shape they're in, look at my bloods etc and see if there's any steps we can take to make sure I'm still good at 50'...

    The only people who say, "It's all downhill after X" are those who were already going downhill the decade before

    @prestonmcghee A mate of mine said when we turned 30, 'well this is the best we're ever going to look' I said 'fuck that' Current mission: fitter at 45 than I was at 35

    @kdhcpeace Have a Google, what I'm saying is that you can do workouts in different heart rate zones and get different benefits rather than thrashing it every time. Ergos are great for all of them.

    @kdhcpeace Make sure you throw some zone 2 in, mix it up - they're great machines because you can go anaerobic, even into Tabata territory, as well as your zone 2. Happy rowing - I have one too, but I rarely get on it because when I was seriously into the sport it was a torture device :)

    It’s been 6 days since i bought my rowing machine

    @kdhcpeace When I was racing, our maximum stroke rate on the water would be 30, when we were at full chat racing over 2000m. Training on the ergo we would be anywhere from 18-30 depending on what we were training for, distance and so on. If you're going over 32spm for any sort of time or...

    How could I possibly eat less and exercise a sh*t ton more, and actually gain weight??

    @sergiomonterroso Had to scroll way too far to find this. Body measurements (waist, hips, quads, biceps, shoulder width, chest, neck) are important metrics along with bodyweight, energy levels and training volume. There are a few reasons why a person might gain weight on the scales whilst...
