Bond fitness thread (Page 15 of 20)

I finished my six week workout program today.

I have always been very fit and ripped up to 39 but I became lazy in 2014 and didn't look after my body anymore. I was 15 kg overweight a year ago.

Since January I am on the way to my old self again. I lost about 12 kg of overweight in six months due to eating healthy again and in my job as an army field officer I do a lot of physical stuff.

Since July I have been focussing on gaining muscle mass again, my legs never have been a problem so it's mainly upper body.
It's not a whole body workout, it's shoulders, arms, chest and abs.

This six week program was rough but I am so happy with the results. I will rest my body for 10 full days and then maybe continue for another six weeks before I will switch to focus on my whole body.

I feel so much better already. It's not only what I see in the mirror but actually feeling healthy and fit and it helps a lot to feel mentally fit as well. I am 43 on September, 28th.

from two weeks ago...not exactly Craig 2008 but I will get there, definitely. If not I'll settle with Craig 2012 

I am training with my own body weight and free weights. I have equipment at home which helps and of course I can go to the army gym at any time I wish to.

Handstands are my specialty by the way

There's barely a difference between Craig's QOS physique and his SF one. If anything his SF physique is more impressive considering he's 4 years older and has a lot more shirtless scenes throughout the film compared to the one in QOS.

I always thought that Craig looked smaller in Quantum after Casino but he looked much bigger in Skyfall.

He was definitely slimmer in QOS then CR where he was famously his biggest. But between QOS and SF I really don't see much difference in his physique. Unless there was a considerable difference in both films I think he just looks bigger in SF because his hair is much shorter.

You look so great at 49, I'm six years away from that age but I think you look better at 49 than me at 43.
I agree it gets harder to train. Even my age seems not to forgive anything as easily as with 38 or even before that.
I'm not complaining though, what I accomplished this year so far, especially in the last 6 weeks is really making me happy.

I'm a few months older than Mr Craig but finding it really does get harder to train consistently as one gets older. I don't have access to all my equipment at the moment so have to improvise and play around with my training. It's amazing how many niggling injuries you pick up as you get older so I'm really doing a lot of stretching and foam rolling these days. I'm also going to look into trying a bit of yoga.

I try and keep my diet nice and tight during the week and relax it a bit at the weekend. I'm not as obsessed with my training as I used to be and try to have a nice balance as I love to eat out and drink red wine.

Here's a recent photo.

You look great!

Looking great.

I remember DC saying (during his training for CR?) That he trains hard during the week but then enjoys his food and drink at the weekend. I still follow this mantra today.

I agree..
I have previously trained with Mr. Waterson (DC trainer for the Bond films) 4 years back.

Sunday was always an active rest day. So he would let me rest and eat what i want but he expects some activity in return, swimming was his reccomended one.

I’m sure however with Daniel the training was much more intense during the week so it would make more sense to give him the whole weekend to rest and eat !

Speaking of which, this whole thread makes me wanna go back to the gym life, it’s been almost a year ever since I became a father  great job to those who are showing commitment in this thread.

That must have been a great experience training with Simon Waterson. Can you give us your thoughts on how it went? Was it really hard work?

Yes it has !
I trained with him back in 2014. I didn’t want to make a big deal about it back then. It was for a personal life event.

I highly reccomended him !

His program was tough yet very productive. He focuses on keeping your body in high intensity during workout. 4 months turnaround I was a whole different person. I went through 3 phases. He’s very selective of what you eat and provided his own list of supplements. He’s very strict and expects visible weekly improvements.  Absolutely a great pleasure having this opportunity.

  Yes!  Good call.  If it's not much of a mystery: any chance you could provide the supplements he told you to use? (along with the companies who make them)

That will probably be the closest to what Daniel Craig actually had to take.

I have yet to try it, it looked a bit rough but I'm planning on giving it a go.
