I feel great around 84kg so I’ll aim for that , trouble being at nearly 59 if you lose too much weight in the face you look old ( you don’t get wrinkles on a balloon do you?)
I am doing the StrongLifts programme but have been absent for 26 days due to health issue and it knocks you right back .Getting back into it , but it’s more riding I need to do . fasted rides seem to work really well if at a gentleman’s pace .
