So sorry to hear that. That’s such shit news. Poor old girl. I hope you can make her comfortable for a while.

@Stonehedge I’m with you on the rainbow Daytona. It’s so beautifully ridiculous also the amount of work requires for the stone cutting and matching is huge.

That’s what I thought. Bum :(

Can you get the moody versions for solid bars. I know Erika does a version and I bought a normal one for my Helson before they went up in price. Can’t stomach 70€ but I really want one for my Autodromo so comfy!

Brilliant!

Also means I have these going spare. MFG sent the clear one with the ti one as a freebie. So that one and the middle one fit the 5610. The one on the right is for the 5600.

All available for a forum donation. I’m SE London If anyone wants to swing by sometime.

Got the titanium bezel and bracelet through today. Super light and comfy got here much quicker than anticipated too.

That's very impressive you've got some skills and patience. What a great tick tock!

I actually think this first version they did is nicer. Shame it wasn't the one from the film like the one they have out now. Also not sapphire annoyingly.

I saw this the other day. I wish they were doing it in the 40. I love my bronze 42 but I'd like it in 40 to make it more wearable and on the bracelet. Even better if they did it in Ti but they only seem to have done Ti in the 38 and even then they're all sold out.

I tend to eat fairly healthy anyway. I realised about a week ago that I wasn't getting even close to enough protein though so I've added a lot more in so hopefully that should help.

Yeah I'm not trying to be a cover model. So you think every other day training is good if doing a full body workout each time? With a bit of skipping or running for cardio on the off days?

In what way do you mean? What has your mate sacrificed? Is he working out for longer/everyday?

I don't expect it to be easy, exercise is hard. Come on you have to admit that flags are impressive?

Ha! no snark inferred at all. Thanks though for the backup @ChainBreaker.

I guess as a newbie to strength training I’ve a fair amount I can achieve first anyway. I like that it means I don’t need a gym membership and too much equipment too.

My main question is about how many times a week I should be training. Three days a week or every other day?

I’ll have to work within those limitations for the moment. Also there seem to be quite a few big guys out there from callisthenics. I can always add a weighted vest etc after I’ve reached the top progressions no?

Alright skip the flag. If being totally honest I’d rather just be bigger and stronger.

I'm 6'3 and 86kg I'd like to put on some proper muscle and get up to 90 and get stronger.

So a bonus side effect of furloughed lock down is I've started doing some strength training. Just bodyweight stuff. With http://www.startbodyweight.com. Any of you lot done this?

I like it because it's geared towards building functional strength. I'd like to be able to eventually do a muscle up and a human flag (though that's a long way off, I haven't got through to a full pull up yet though I can do chin ups.

Obviously I would like to look hench too! It's also pretty straight forward and clearly marks out the progressions.

It involves:

Dynamic warm up

3 sets of between 4 and 8 repetitions adding a rep each session then you move to the next progression

squat progression
 pull up variation
handstand push up variation
leg raises variation
   push up variation or dip variation (alternate between the two with  every session)
   horizontal pull variation
plank variation

Static stretching

I've also added on chin ups to the end. It recommends training 3 times a week but I've been doing every other day is this detrimental? I thought a days rest between each should be fine. There seems to be conflicting opinion out there.

I started 6 weeks ago and I've noticed a difference in my chest and arms. Though I wish I'd taken some before pics.

I've also started taking whey protein as I don't think I was getting enough at all in my diet.

Any advice appreciated.

Wait what they're how much! Going for almost 5 grand on chrono24! I'm out

@Regal that Seiko looks so good! Getting more tempted now. Must resist

Those Bicompax are stunning, just wish they had a sapphire crystal like the Aquascaph. I know I'd kill the hesalite.

Back with the Group B. I think it's my favourite so light and comfy. I just wish they’d made a bracelet to fit it instead of redesigning the whole case.

Really lovely, maybe not so keen on the aged lume look though.

Nice. I finally decided on the version I want. Can’t find it anywhere now though.

Yeah I think it's possibly the first one that almost overrides the Seikoness of it.

Bob looks like an excellent cat. Black nose cats are the best. Does anything use your bug hotel?
