Weighing in at 100kgs dead and put away a 240kg dead just before christmas - Squat, which i have always struggled with, is coming on as we are back to 130kgs 5x5 and bench 110kgs 5 sets of 3 pause reps at maybe RPE 7.5. Might look to reduce my bodyweight down to 95kgs (at 100ks i'm a "top 2 abs" kin...

Is Bumble popular over there? Used that for a couple of months recently and much preferred it, the woman has to initiate the contact so you end up with a much higher ratio of conversations to matches. Never used it. Think it's available. But in my experience much less matches. That being said depen...

Are you a singlesman these days stevus?

Finally got my poverty squat over the 3 plate hump today :D Hey hey is it testing week Stevus? Putting some decent numbers at low reps up. The gym is very impressive - a lot of space in there for more equipment as and when seems appropriate and the current equipment is to die for. Really lovely gro...

Stevus - you still using Tom? It's at his gym so will also let you know how that is. I am indeed. I've been following his progress with it on Instagram, looks very good. I was going to try and take a trip over when I'm in Dublin for Christmas but Nottingham apparently is not as close to London as I...

Arnie seems to be wearing Nike Cortez all the way through Pumping Iron so if its good enough for him... I don't think anyone is saying they're actually necessary. Just nice to have. Like boxing shoes. Half the guys in my boxing gym have them, and I'm sure they're probably nice to wear, but I just b...

Christ I miss gaming. Anyway - I'm going to a Push/Pull meet on Saturday - will let you all know how it goes. First time back to anything near lifting competitively sinc eI buggered my ankle and had to re-learn how to walk down stairs, let alone lift heavy things. Am in the middle of a volume block ...

Knee is buggered so can't squat :thumbdown: If I had a dollar for every time someone said that to me... I honestly think that squatting actually fixed my "buggered" knee. Anyway, I'm certainly not saying anything about your knee. So don't take it personally. I have no idea what you've done. It coul...

A friend in the S and C world once told me that given the knocks and injuries a lot of these guys the risk vs. Reward of A2G often doesn't add up for the individual - box squats and at or above parallel are preferred.

Odave will have the sciency answer though.

kornboy130

Low bar position, and stopping just below parallel, has proved to be the most comfortable and safest variation for me :thumbup: I hear so many people say to stop at parallel. The point at which there is the most pressure on your knees? Sounds like dodgy advice to me. I always stop a fair bit below ...

kornboy130

That sounds shit. I dont doubt you though. In the interest of correcting that can you point out a few examples? Defo not intentional. 2 which come to mind are electronic music thread where you made a declaration along the lines of "electronic music" being a contradiction and the other where you ask...

Back on the PEDS subject, my son is now 19 and training hard. I would say 14 out of 15 of his friends are taking them for vanity training. He assures me that to some extent the majority of young men take them...it's an epedemic. That's crap. Maybe in his circle of friends, okay. But there's no way ...

Had my first soujourn in to Ibiza last week and saw both sides of it - Ushuaia and Hi were (far too) showy hell holes for me (though Black Coffee played a great set at Hi and is a slightly unusual selection for resident there I would suggest). Then went to see Solomun +1 at Pacha where the +1 was Du...

Other side - underwriting. Crisis Management, recall to be specific. It is a hellish industry to work in from a fitness perspective.

Anyone own an indoor bike? If so all recommendations welcome. Just started a new job that involves sitting down all day so need to up the cardio before I get any fatter. Plus it'll have the added bonus of being able to exercise while watching tv. Ideally I'd be looking for a spin-class type of bike...

Speaking of comebacks I've been very happy with my on going come back - though it is taking time to become strong again I've moving some ok weights and am on the way back - DLs 5x3 at 160kgs at about RPE 6 felt decent. No idea when i'll be back to where I was but eeking up the numbers 2.5/5kgs a wee...

Common sense tells me that this kind of events are impossible to prevent. With a car and two kitchen knives a dude closed the british parliament, 4 dead people and many more injured.

What do Olympic standard rowers clock on those things? I think I did 7m 15 or something back in the day, f--king horrible form of exercise though so I didn't pursue it. I remember Rob Waddell (single scull Olympic gold medalist) set the record for it once, it was about 5:40 or thereabouts. He would...

Bugs the home of the wife he's seperated from before assaulting someone who may or may not be her new partner?

If you think that's perfectly fine then you and I have different views on what is or isn't perfectly fine.

Lads I've put on a nice bit of timber, muscle and a decent amount of fat. Goal = lose fat but keep muscle.. or as much as I can. So in an effort to keep as much muscle as I can but lose fat, if I increase my protein intake by a fair degree but decrease carbs significantly (while keeping around 2800...

Wasn't it regularly said that BV didn't drink...?

People are all too ready to forget how good Manu is - when he's fit he makes the team, it's as simple as that.

What is great is there is legitimate conversation about where due to the form of the other centres - in years previous our midfield has been embarrassingly bare.

I can't handle cardio at all. I try and hit 10k steps per day to make the cardiovascular system work a little, then do a couple of sets of kettlebell swings once a week as my 'conditioning'. I know this goes against everything the country you resides in stands for - but walk more. When i couldn't c...

^This, sort of.

Bit more targeted and work with execs/specialist roles more or so the theory goes - ask them a lot of questions though because there's definitely low level recruiters who will call themselves headhunters.

Day. Burrell, and Ken Pisi are the major established players re-signing. Youngsters Clare, Marshall, Stephenson, Hutchinson, and Onajaife also re-sign.

Pro sport basically takes over your life and is often highly regimented. If you're not being told what to do you're still probably in the company of your teammates most of the time. It'll help a lot of sufferers hide / ignore their condition. Once that's gone... Not dissimilar to leaving the milita...

Decent calves (not ridiculous BB ones) are noticeable, especially when compared to so calves.

Good way to get some volume in to the muscles - I have (almost) literally no calves what so ever and It's just got to a stage where that doesn't bother me.
