Bastard

Some cool number for once in here

Just missed podium finish

WPT final table

Rob Yong owns Party ?

Rob owns Dusk til Dawn, where Party have live tourneys and I think they own some of that, but not the other way around

Loved the Twitter war reenactments.

Kessler is only 46? Doubt that.

Sweet 10 and I don't even listen anymore..

Adam saying he doesn't want to do weights tilted me, like girls saying "I don't want to get big, I want to tone!!!!!"

You're not going to gain a bunch of muscle when you're eating in an extreme deficit.

Weight training would burn additional calories (more efficiently than cardio unless you're doing very hard cardio which it doesn't sound like) - both during and post workout (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess...en_consumption), and prioritize fat loss vs muscle loss (skinny-fat is better than plain fat, but still looks bad, and having more lean body mass = higher metabolism)

People who lift weights are bigger because they eat more because they are training to get stronger and build muscle. You don't do 5 bicep curls and become Arnold. Natural lifters train 4+ days a week on a strict program and eat structured diets high in calories and protein just hoping to gain maybe a pound of muscle a month if they're lucky.

Lately, after an hour of cardio I've been doing three sets of 12 of:

1. Incline sit ups
2. Pushups
3. 30 lb bar curls
4. 40 lb tricep pull downs
5. Leg raises

Not a brutal work out for sure, but after the cardio and the circuit I'm pretty done.

Definitely a good start - though compound barbell movements would be a lot more useful than the bodyweight stuff. The problem with bodyweight is you can't progressively overload it unless you start doing pushups with plates on your back or situps with a weighted vest. So since I think you'd more likely be interested in replacing rather than adding, I'd say:

Deadlifts in place of incline sit ups (ideally you could still throw some sit ups inbetween sets of other lifts if possible)
Bench press in place of push ups
Squats in place of leg raises

BTW congrats on the weight loss. Only nitpicking because I think there's a lot of misconceptions about what's effective when it comes to body re-composition.
