Moving quickly along:
Have now been cycling to work for 6 months, and it's going well. Still need to work on my 'muffin tops' as they didn't drop off the way I hoped they would Down to bad lunch diet (if you can call it that) - Greggs has a lot to answer for !
The bike I've been using (second hand from a friend) was starting to get a bit tired, and I got fed up of re-indexing the derailleurs every time they got a knock; so have treated myself to a new 'steed':


SO much smoother (mechanically, at least), though you feel every ripple in the road; but it's much more nimble and precise than the old one. I might have to invest in a suspension seat post

Everything in moderation works well for me.

That's my approach with eating and fitness. Going to the extremes is rarely sustainable. I played college football and used down protein shakes between meals and lift heavy with long rests in between sets. Anymore I find it an absolute bore to break up my workouts into groups like leg day, or back and bi's. Now I do shorter workers that are more intense. I want functional fitness for triathlon and MMA so I focus on full body movements like Olympic lifts and kettle bell work.

I just binged out at Five Guys. There goes any progress I made this week.

To show some restraint at Five Guys I skip the cheese and fries. I've been jonesing for Five Guys all week.

Do I really still have to squat?!

Not at all, just do more separation work on your quads such as lunges and just squat every other leg day instead.

[Seriously]

as my diet doesn't include enough to get big, I don't think.

Try some Viagra , you won't look back

No I mean I don't want my legs to get bigger at all so can I lay off them?
