Today's Workout Thread

[Thug]

Standard rip down to Tarpon Springs on The Codger. I took the day of work so this one was done in the daylight. Just under 16 miles, I would have gone farther but had a dentist appointment at 10 A.M. I've decided to sell the hybrid to raise money for a real no kidding fat bike. Here's the one I'm getting. Hopefully it will be in place by the first of the year

Very nice.

What material is the frame made out of? Alum or Steel?
If you still are looking and you'd like a steel frame, I'd highly recommend Surly.

I don't like those at all. I've seen a number of accidents where they get hooked into branches and the rider gets thrown.
None of my riding mates use them.

A 30km ride this morning with the crew.
Friday's are supposed to be a chilled ride but this morning was quite a bit quicker than normal.

Understandable, sorry to hear, I have never had that problem with them.

Hill run today, 9km. Couch day tomorrow.

Is there a reliable method to check your own bodyfat, supposedly scales that you buy with that feature are not accurate because it uses formulas that contain assumptions about your body based on, age, height and weight.

Not that I'm aware of.

Not that I'm aware of.

I use the scales. I'm aware they don't indicate to me my actual body fat content but I use them to monitor how much I've lost or gained. For instance, generally mine indicate my body fat is about 17.2% (I measure it and my weight daily). I know in reality I'm probably closer to 12%. in fact, if I change just the age setting on the scales and change it from 53 to 25 the scales tell me I'm about 12%.

I don't get obsessed about what the scales tell me, I use them in combination with what I look like in the mirror and what I feel like (i.e. how strong I feel and how strong I am).

When I went climbing for nine days straight to The Grampians lately (it was hard work, climbing and hiking with a pack on every day) I lost an entire percentage; when I came back the scales told me I was 16.2%.

What I aim for is to drop body fat but to either gain weight or remain the same weight.

Just a few days ago I was 62.8 kilos and 16.1% BF. I'm 168 cm tall.

So I'd say get the scales and use them to keep yourself on track.

BTW, one could get one's self measured professionally, then measure one's self with the scales and use it as a benchmark. So if hydrostatic weighing says you're 12% and the scales tell you you're 15%, and then in a month's time the scales tell you you're 16%, you're in reality 13%.
