lol Mikel...

The only motivation I need is that I actually enjoy training because I go to the gym with friends and like the feeling of being tired after a good work out. I have also been training for long enough (2.5 years) to see the benefits so I know it is worth carrying on. I think, on another level, the fact that I have been doing it for such a long time makes it harder to stop; meaning I don't want to ruin my hard work over the last few years by being slack with diet/training. In terms of motivation for diet I generally dislike sweet/fatty foods so that makes it a lot easier for me, only difficult thing is when I am out I tend to drink a fair bit which is counter-productive - but you've gotta have some fun! Therefore I'd suggest that you start a training routine that you've created to suit your goals, eg. to lose fat. Set yourself a goal (whether that be tangible in terms of an actual weight or BF%, or set yourself a goal of how you want to look like in the mirror). If you really want to lose weight then you must have a greater desire to lose it more than you want to break your routine/diet in order to have fatty foods or what ever, otherwise it is a pointless exercise.

haha yes it does, but I drink it down quickly with milk/water.

Hi there, following the template in the OP so here it goes. Age: 18 Height: 6'1 Current Weight: 186lbs BF%: 15-17% Objective: Cut BF down to 11% before summer (again, did this last year) Programmes: Custom work out - 4 days / week gym (free weights: Split into: -Back/Tris + HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) afterwards (30 second sprint, 30 second rest, 30 second sprint etc.) for 8 mins, then 2 min jogging break then continue. -Chest/Bis -Shoulders/traps + HIIT -Legs (Squats) + Abs Then, since I am cutting, I work in cardio for 2 extra days of the week so only one day of rest. Cardio is either running for 75 minutes or use of rowing machine until exhaustion (depending on how much motivation I have haha) Diet (most important) - Whilst I don't carb-count I try to eat around 2700-2900 in order to lose weight. Sample eating plan for a day would be: 7am: Breakfast - 3 Eggs on 1 slice of low GI toast, + small bowl of oats with milk + fruits. + 1 Pint of milk. 11am: Snack - Protein bar (low GI carb, low fat) + banana + 1 pint of milk 1.30pm: Lunch - Chicken sandwhich in low GI baguette with lettuce + cucumber.. no butter or cheese. 4pm : Pre-dinner - Piece of fruit and some cashew nuts (protein shake post workout) 7pm: Dinner - 16oz steak or meat equivalent with sweet potato/brown rice/pasta etc.. + loads of vegetables because my parents always cook loads. 9pm: Supper - Cottage cheese (0% fat) + 1 pint of milk. Supplements: Whey protein isolate, protein bar (low GI carb and low fat). I used to use creatine but found it ineffective and increased water retention. Goals: Cut to 11% BF before I go on holiday in August, maintain muscle/strength in my main lifts (bench/squat/deadlift) I am not looking to gain strength and or muscle mass during this period, I have been doing that since september.

why is he bringing off Oscar fffffs!!

Can't wait for the return leg.. come on Milan. This Barca performance was pathetic really.. so static and they didn't really create any clear cut chances. Also wish Balotelli could play in the UCL for Milan.

Thanks, he looks technically very good.

Impressed with Boga, Kane and Saville in particular. Am I right in thinking Boga is only 15??

oh my jesus

Some of these Barca players are bloody fast

what a goal

Thanks for posting this. He seems an intelligent young man and relatively grounded (though, this is not saying much considering footballers these days). Hopefully Courtois will be one of many young Belgian talents that can develop and prosper at Chelsea: Hazard, KdB, Lukaku and Courtois are all realistic first team players over the course of the next few seasons.

lampard!@!@!

Bloody hell, strong team. Hope we can take mata/hazard off before 60 mins.

Yes I realise that, my post was slightly tongue in cheek (maybe I failed at that) but I am/have been critical of how we treat our youngsters and heap pressure/expectation on them without giving them game time to improve.

great first touch and was it finished on his weaker foot? If I recall correctly his first touch was woeful during pre-season - guess his touch will improve with more game time/confidence, looks a good prospect.

I, too, would prefer Cavani but I suppose Falcao would do

well done azpi

lampard always hits the wall lol

I'm happy for him. He's found a club that listen to him and play him in his proper position and it looks like he will excel there now and in the future.

get the fuck out of our club

can't wait till the fat spanish wankstain is out of our club

Just praying Benitez is out by summer time, it's got to the point that I really don't care who comes in, so long as FSW fucks off. I'd say your OP is a fair assessment of where we are/have been, though.

Fuck sake ramires could break his ankle with that...

Thanks mate, I agree with what he said about Chelsea managers being under pressure so they don't pick youth players.. good to see he has high ambitions for his career!
