      holiday seasons taken its toll on me haha, peaked at 89kg the other week! Sadly the results of too much damn food and too little time to hit the gym haha.
      I'm around 175cm, gone back down to 87kg this week. I'm normally around 85 but aiming to get to and stabilise 80-83kg

          If you don't exercise, you cannot promote growth! As a hard gainer, I accept that I will never be built like the hulk. But I can be strong. Somedays I work volume (light weights, greater sets) and others heavy (heavy weights, less sets)

          I'm 177 cm @ 70 kg. Last year I was 65Kg. The biggest change that worked for me is that I started lifting heavy weights and focused on more challenging body weight exercises (clap pushups / weighted chinups) and Sprints.

          Focus on compound exercises - bench / squat / dead lift / leg press. Best bang for buck for me was the dumbbell bench press - it was a great indicator for strength improvement and it really makes you focus on the stablising muscles.

          Sprints - great for focusing on explosive power, and working on the legs, a good way to promote the release of growth hormone

          Clap pushups / weights chinups - Explosive Calisthenics allows for the body to really sort itself out. It's sort of like bringing together the gym work and making it all functional.

                    I have a beurer (german) one. it takes into acct ur age, height and the level of physical activity and gives weight, bf%, calorie intake, bone mass, muscle%, water%. Obviously it isnt as accurate as a caliper or water tank method but its pretty good if u set it up and use it right. Do it in the morning as u wake up on an empty stomach after u go to the toilet as this is when ur body is lightest and driest. The being dry part is important as it works through electrical currents and obviously if u have sweat (even molecules that u cant see) the body will conduct more than what it should and affect the reading.

                            Gym.. what gym..
                            Change your eating habits around
                            Drink more water.
                            Daily walk of 45 minutes to an hour and you'll lose weight consistently without needing the gym.

                                I have a nice program for anyone who wants to try something new. This is a program that will test your fitness form and get the pulse up!

                                1. Warmup, can't stretch that enough!

                                2. 50 reps toe-to-bar (starting point hang like you are doing a chin, flip up the body so the toes touches the bar with straight legs)
                                As a beginner, try to do 5-6 per minute. This exercise will be timed!

                                3. 10x3 Pushups on a pilatesball and wall bar, if you want to go to the extreme, one pilates ball on your feet and one for the arms

                                4. 40 reps Hang Clean (timed exercise) (find a weight that suits you)

                                5. 50 squats with bar and weights (timed exercise) (find a weight that suits you and be careful) Beginner tip: Use a bench, when your butt touches it, push up and repeat)

                                6. 3x3 Handstanding pushup

                                7. Hanging piké (in a dipstand, legs straight out, upper body and arms straight) 30sek x 3

                                8. 40 dips (timed exercise)

                                Done! don't forget to stretch
