You do DLs in the smith machine? I'd have thought that they'd be easier with a free bar?

TH went well apart from when the flanker got sent off

Not sure who would have been at lh for us. Would have enjoyed playing that match. Was that a ko game or still league?

Nolanator

Which side were you playing in the scrum?

Compression. Follow rice for the first couple of days. Afterwards get your upper leg bound up tightly with tape and it'll help you throughout the day.

Shouldn't have moved in the first place.

You're right. He shouldn't try to address his issues at one of the best teams in europe with an excellent scrum coach.

You're f**king delusional.

Anyone still arguing that hagan should have started tonight?

Fair enough Gobbler. It's just when a page of the thread become exclusively NSFW pics that it becomes a pain. If there's the odd pic thrown in people can skip past that. Kiap, someone posted a similar pic to that before. I remember commenting on whether she should cut her breast off like the Amazon...

You're new hear so I'll explain it. The threads were started well over a year ago for funny shit and other quirky images etc. There was a NSFW warning in the thread title as the occasional image, which was still funny or entertaining or whatever, was NSFW. That doesn't mean the thread is exclusively...

Nolanator

I also agree with the not just posting NSFW stuff for the sake of this. I skim through this thread in work and have to stop quite frequently for fear of seeing arseholes and tits across my screen. This is funny, entertaining or thought-provoking stuff. I find pictures of naked extremely entertaining...

Pretty sure all vehicle laws apply to bikes with regards lighting, driving pissed etc. Had a look there on the Irish government site and the max fine for a first offence for failing to adhere to the vehicle lighting regulations is €1000. I presume that's for driving an articulated lorry without any ...

Sort the diet. No/very limited carbs. Eat often and eat lots of protein and moderate amounts of unsaturated fats. Eat fresh food, no pre-packaged meals or heavily processed stuff. Keep up the gym work. Strength training with a proper diet should see you at least maintain your strength and lean mass....

Appo, I know. The guy's very quiet and introverted so wouldn't say boo to a Gard, particularly when the Gard had every right to pull him over in the first place.

Any ideas on how much a typical fine would be? I'm guessing in the 50-100 quid range.

Nolanator

I don't think you'd be arrested but it's an offence and you can be fined. Gardaí will typically just stop and tell you to cop on and walk the bike on the footpath. Obviously not if you look different to this particularly wit kant of a Gard. Apparently as he took the guy's details he made some quip ...

If you're Iranian and don't look Caucasian apparently you can. Where's that racism thread that Toga started?

Nolanator

Just started a thread asking this but then saw this thread so I'll re-post.

A friend was stopped for not having lights on his bike a few months ago and got a summons this morning (we're in Ireland).
What's a typical penalty for that? I presume it's just a fine and a "don't do it again" jobbie?

Nolanator

This morning's effort. Took a fair while to get through, was a bit tired starting out. Hang cleans: 60x3, 70x3, 80x3, 90x3, 100x1* (*full power clean for the 100, off the floor) DLs: 130x5, 140x5, 150x4, 160x3, 170x1 Front squat: 70kg x10x5 Clams: 10kg x15 each leg x5 Ab circuit, twice through Cycle...

Ross was a tub or lard when he got here and not remotely up to standard for HEC champions. It took us a year to get him up to Leinster's standard from where Quins got him to. Once that was done he came into the Irish team. Quins did plenty of work obviously, but Leinster had a huge part to play in g...

They will get gametime to develop. What's the issue? Gametime doesn't mean throw them in from the start. Ease them in and pick and choose which games they play a part in. As the season goes on they get more coaching and experience and then next season they're in a position to contribute more to the ...

The fact that we've provided the two starting props to Ireland over the last 7 weeks and have played test rugby the last four weekends in a row clearly doesn't come into consideration. The lads are utterly shattered. I've no problem having the likes of VDM and White on the books for exactly these so...

Ireland's Call wrote:Warburton is definitely out of this QF. Bradley Davies will be back.

They'll have Rush (creaking), though Nugget can still play to a high standard.

Their backline is pants. Parks at OH, and they only really have 1/2 p and North.

North is from LLanelli. They've got Tom James and Chekov.

Nolanator

Oh please, we'll have more than enough for Cardiff. Our season revolves around the SF for me. Will be very disappointing if we don't win the CL as well as this stage - losing it at home again would be a huge shock. We've no real excuses to be losing to Cardiff should we play to our best, but I'm ta...

I'm sure you've already heard it but I'll say it anyway. You'll lose more fat if your doing strength training of some farm as well as cardio/aerobic stuff. You mightn't lose as much actual weight as you'll likely gain a bit of lean mass. The thing to watch is your body fat percentage or if you can't...

Nolanator

Holy shit I like that team! And to think that the only player heavily involved with Ireland from the starting team is McFadden. Some depth these days.

Can't wait!

Nolanator

You'd need at least a couple of days after DLs before going for any other exercises in that area of your body. They really do take a lot out of you in terms of energy while you're doing them and recovery time. If you've only just started them then the recovery will be rough for a few weeks. Any time...

Nolanator

DT, another thing with DLs is that normal muscle soreness the day or two afterwards can be quite debilitating. If you've sore arms or chest you can cope, once your lower back stiffens up it's a lot more noticeable and can impact you more in terms of mobility and so on for a couple of days. That's no...

Definitely whack in a protein shake after the session Mat. A simple whey shake straight afterwards will go a long way towards helping your recovery. Can already feel the pain building in my hammies. Tomorrow will be fun. :uhoh: Speaking of tabata; our coach had a few guys doing tabata squat jumps th...

Court can cover TH better than Buckle could ever cover LH. He's still pretty shit at it though but can get away a lot of the time. Against a decent LH he's absolutely f**ked.

Despot I have no agenda. I just don't think people who act as agents should be offering preportedly independent analysis. Sheehan is just an example. If you watched ath he really singled best out on a couple of occasions without mentioning any of the more obvious targets for criticism. I agree Cron...

Very true! There's a guy who works at my gym who is the leering perv to a T. He practically drools on the spot when he sees a hot girl in the place.

Good omen if even Gerry is talking about it. I hope the worm is beginning to turn.

Nolanator

Oh no, I try to be as conscientious as possible. I've no problem sharing equipment with others, if I'm not using it I don't need to hover over it. If you're doing short recovery or circuit kind of stuff then you'll obviously be working more than standing around. I was just replying to Sal's comment ...

Why do Ulster lads keep bringing up Archer in the last couple of days and having a go? Because for some reason he's ahead of Hagan. Why did Leinster sign White? Because Hagan wasn't ready to be second choice THP for a team challenging for Pro12 and HEC honours. He's had a season of training and get...

But Willie,I thought Court was the best prop we had to cover 2 sides! Don't try to pass off Courts absolute shite performance on the coach. Hagan does not cover both sides,never did and never will so it's not a valid argument,and Jamie has stood still since the middle of last season,about the time ...
