Presently stuck in Boston awaiting a flight home tomorrow (fingers crossed). City very quiet, which it has been all week -even before bars etc had to shut. All pharmacies are out of the sanitisers etc, but supermarkets seem very well stocked on most things. Pasta etc is impacted, but still available.

No idea. Original replacement was in 98, successful, played 1St XV for another 6 years, retired, started weights, bit of a return in lower teams with no issue. Carried on weights for quite a while, still no issues, but last 12 months knee was a bit "clunky". Kept deteriorating, got referred, MRI and...

Leg press, calf raise, single leg squats.
Every session is partly leg based, as 6 weeks into 2nd ACL replacement on right knee.

Flat bench, Incline bench, Flies, Tri pushdowns, Skull crushers.

20 mins incline walk at 7.5%.

Ibuprofen and ice....

Hello chaps, thought I'd drop in and say hi (if anyone remembers me), used to post in here a good while back. Got fat and lazy over last few years but starting to get back into in. Strength way, way down but got to restart somewhere!

You've really got to fudge up badly rearing a Viszla to make it aggressive! TBF to them is was aggressive from the get go, They are renowned for being very nippy as young pups, but usually grow out of it by 16 weeks or so. They need a firm hand to get pecking order sorted, but are a fantastic breed...

Got tickets for Dropkick Murphys on St Patricks Day in Boston, which should be quite a night. Interrupters, Rumjacks and Anti Nowhere League also lined up during the year.

Looking for a bar on Sat to watch the England game, ideally midtown area. Anybody able to point me in a decent direction?

The Eurofighters taking off from Coningsby hardly qualify as stealthy!

I understand queuing for The Pier can be quite hazardous too.

Could anyone advise on what are the best websites to get gear such as KBs, olympic bars and plates?

Try Jordan Fitness in Kings Lynn - I got 2x25 Kg olympic plates plus delivery for less than £50 - and there are discount codes out there also.

It's all fun and games til someone loses an eye. My motto, unfortunately.

Though, to be fair, I was rather taken by their CM Black watch when I saw it.

Have you actually seen what an average Lambretta rider looks like??

Try Bremont, they are very nice.

I've got fed up with all the nobs at.the gym and started looking for a decent home set up. I'm considering the cf520 with 140kg olly set. Anyone any other recommendations or options?

I wore my heart monitor today as well, gave me a figure of 492 cals for the above workout in 37 mins. That seems quite a lot, anyone know how accurate they are?

Hello folks. Not posted for a long time as I've been a lazy bastaard and stopped training for a bit. Back into the swing of it now and trying to get back to some relatively respectable lifts. I read a book called "Bigger, Leaner, Stronger" which made a bit of sense to me so I've totally re-evaluated...

Did I read somewhere earlier in this thread that ideally you should be aiming to deadlift twice your body weight and squat 1.5x? Hit 145kgs DL for the first time today and think I had a bit more gas left in the tank, but didn't want to push my luck as I'd just finished a round of squats. My goal is...

Anyone on this thread tried the full Smolov 13 week or Smolov Junior cycle? Thinking about trying one or the other as I need to rebuild my squat strength and have set myself the goal of 2 times body weight by the end of the year. If I do either it'll be squat only (which is recommended on the 13 we...

However I'm in some serious discomfort with my forearm. I think it's tendonitis as it's pretty painful when benching or holding things. Anyone with any tips/experience on how to reduce the pain?

Starting to make some gains now, and getting back in the groove quite well.

Nice article Dave, but what us over 40's who don't drive a desk and do a quite physical job - any other advice?
