You can find cheap ones but you get what you pay for. I personally bought a used precor recumbent bike for my house

Thanks Michaela

Cheers for all your replies

Thanks, just ordered a Tomahawk one from a recent gym owner. It hasn’t really been used because he had 10 of them

Thanks for all the replies

You have fats in your post post workout so that’s better placed there. But I agree with Jordan, you need easy digesting carbs but also slower if you getting hypos. Go with the suggestions Jordan has said with changes to food.

I’d also be inclined to remove dark chocolate from your pre meal and either add some extra carbs to your post workout from those extra calories or add the fats to your post post

Thank you Marc

Pwo is just too fast , change The honey and jam to banana , it will be slower . If still no good , change cor to oats

Thanks Jordan

Thanks for all your responses!

Hermes step would be reducing cardio to 2x per week for me and see how you get on from this – no movement or very little

Add 200 calories max ( at your bodyweight 200 calories is a lot ) –

Sounds like you are just driving fatigue with cardio currently – leave it out for a week or two then re add for fitness if needed

Alright thanks Kuba 🙂

It seems like you’ve tried everything possible. All I can think is now you’ve made it such a big thing in your head, you’re going to bed expecting not to sleep on training days, which could subconsciously be not allowing yourself to.

You need to somehow break the cycle. A change of environment, switching up your routine, staying up a bit later. Do something different to break the pattern and see if that helps.

Yeah thanks Clare.

Also what’s your currently volume like when you are not running a deload/devolume sessions?

Usually 2 working sets every exercise. I run a push/pull/legs/densitiy day split

[Florian]

Is there anything in other than training that you do differently on a training in comparison to a rest day? Take a nap before, but is this nap too long causing you to not be able to sleep?

It could also potentially be psychological that you know you have trained, so you are telling yourself that you can’t sleep?

You can’t live your life thinking the only way you can sleep 3+ hours is to take a rest day. So fingers crossed you get to the bottom of it

Thanks Phoebe. Nothing is different at all, i will think about every single thing again that i do potentially do different.

[Florian]

Do you take a pre workout on a training day?

No stims, some days may be Pumpage. I don’t drink coffee or any caffeinated drinks.

[Florian]

Just one more thing – im a drug free lifter, so i don’t take any PEDs.

[Florian]

Have you ever tried the sensitive veet?

The one blade Phillips does a great job gets a clean job like a wet shave

No but i will, thanks will try!

[Florian]

You can always try the nair/veet version that is intended for sensitive skin – that works well for those that have reacted badly to the standard version

This is what I use for my skin the sensitive one and works a treat. Quick and easy and no bumps from it like if I used a razor. Try a small area of your body first to see how your skin takes to it and then go from there [/quote]
Thanks Marc!
