I'm thinking we'll probably start next week. Thought you might be interested to hear that.

I do 125 three times a week with the rest of my workout. My workout that I've tweaked until I got it down is basically one set with many reps since I can't stand the idea of going through it again. Start with a number like 10 and that's my base. All exercises after that are multiples of the base number. Do that three times in a week and then next week move the base number up 1-2. I peak at 25 for a base since it takes me a minimal of 25 minutes to get through it. Add in 25LB. free weights and that's all I do for that aspect. Add in 30 minutes of treadmill on those days, and 45 minutes when I don't lift. Over 20Lbs. lost this year and that's including taking two months off because I messed up my knee at work. Aiming for under 20% body fat since that's what's deemed healthy for my age(31-40). It also would mean going from just over 30% to under 20%.

you mountain bike? Is there a small group @ riv for MTBrs? If not we should start one.

I don’t think one exists, but it has been talked about on and off.
