      I workout 5 times per week - I lift weights a couple of times per week - deadlifts, squats, bench presses, bent rows, good mornings - that kind of thing.  Then I follow a bodyweight program for another couple of days - press ups, pull ups, planks - and then I'll sprint or do some Tabatas on another day.

      My diet is high protein (1g of protein per lb of bodyweight); high fat; and moderate carb (about 25-30% of my total calorie consumption).

      I also walk/cycle.

      This keeps me pretty trim and reasonably strong (e.g. double bodyweight deadlifts), and it doesn't require huge amounts of time.

        5 workouts a week for weights IS huge amounts of time 😛

        I try to keep it at 2 combined kardio/lifting workouts pr week, so that i can sneak in some grappling and thaiboxing when I got time.

        Seize the day and don't you cry.

          I normally spend no more than 30 minutes per session, usually less than 20 minutes - just basic, functional movements.

            I did the main compound movements while eating tons for years.  I got pretty fat while putting on muscle.
            I now workout a lot longer and do HiT.  Have lost most the fat.  ABs are finally visible again after 3 years lol.

              I've been doing this for about 4 months now - lost 3" off my waist (abs now visible), and lifting heavier than ever (180kg deadlift at 75kg bodyweight and increasing).

              I'm pretty much following the Primal Blueprint diet (although not exclusively) and approach to exercise, with some guidance from Dan John (http://danjohn.net/) in terms of strength and conditioning.

                  I come from a school of thought that only gym clothes should be worn in the gym

                  That being said, when I trained in martial arts in NY, I wore my street clothes. If I can't fight in my street clothes, I don't wear them

                  I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                      Didn't do any sports for a week - it is true that the lack of sport negatively affects your state of mind. Hope I can do anything today.

                        Actually, when I was competing in powerlifting, we used denim squat, deadlift and bench-suits 🙂 I imagine that maybe IH would take that kind of punishment too. (If any ordinary jeans does, IH must be it 😉 ).

                            I wonder what kind of denim this is:

                                    I think Finn is trying to reduce his fat.  Drinking Belgian beer it's only gonna increase it.

                                    I would know.;)
