Hello all, long time lurker, occasional poster but this thread has made for very interesting reading.
I live in Japan and haven't had the opportunity to ride much since moving here last summer, so have recently started weight training at my 'arse end of nowhere' gym in order to shift some of the beer weight. Im 180cm and about 84.5kg with a bit of a gut, and have been weight training about a month now.
Anyone got any tips on which weights/resistance machines have worked well for them in the past? The outdated gym equipment and significant language barrier are proving tricky. I am aiming to lift 3 times a week with cardio twice or three times a week but recently sprained my ankle pretty bad so laying off that for a while.
Also, diet wise I get fed school lunches every day which makes it a little tricky to plan my diet around, food shopping in Japan is sometimes pretty difficult! Will try and keep an eye on this thread as i go forward!
