Yes, I know it's another repost off reddit; but I think it's very good.

Use of Weapons is one of his best IMO. Really well crafted story as the protagonist's pastis slowly revealed over the course of his latest mission. The story in itself is decent enough (highly evolved civilisations meddling with the development of other, more primitive ones), but the way the charact...

This thread on the old forum became the iain m. Banks fanboi thread.
His books are just class. Must reread done this summer.

Push press: 60x3, 65x3, 70x3, 75x3, 80x3 Squat: 130x5, 135x5, 140x5, 145x5, 150x3 +1 eccentric Hanging leg raise: 6 x5 DB bench press: 32.5x5, 35x5, 37.5x5, 40x5, 42.5x2 Pull ups: BW x6x5 Wall angels: 12x3 Was tough work. Will do a condit...

That was a good read. Cheers.

'Twas indeed. Cheers for the link Joe. The Irish rugby meeja is embarrassingly bad.

Is the the f**king "Irish Tag Rugby Thread"? Athloner would be proud.

Here, Muse. Ask your flatmate what Donncha Ryan's at will ya. Are the rumours of him moving to Leinster just a ploy to get him more money or what?

Nolanator

The current Irish trio are the best we have no doubt. Its probably a slight modification on our tactics that would help them show their true power on the international stage. This is the crux. We don't have a certain type of player, so we can't use the kind of gameplan that would suit them. What we...

Until a true natural born 7 comes through the ranks and starts pilfering ball at will or turning speculative counter attacks into 80 metre, no breakdown tries by his very presence, I'll be more than happy to have a good 6.5 smashing everything that moves. Oh absolutely. But for me there's no need t...

Dippy is no more a 7 than SOB is. People are just pinning their hopes on any young backrower. Himself and POM wouldn't be wasted at 7. I think the issue with SOB is that he is somewhat wasted there. But I suppose the same could be said of Wallace. Who eventually became a decent modern day 7 if not ...

Probably a stupid question,but is there a difference between shoulder press and military press? If I had to guess I'd say the military press is with a barbell, and you push it starting from your chest. The shoulder press I tend to associate with DBs, with the starting position being the DBs resting...

There were a few nice looking birds knocking about in blue dresses for last year's ladies' night. They looked f**king freezing though.
Thin dresses and bare legs when everyone else is wearing two hoodies and a jacket with hat and scarf doesn't look fun.

Who are we Leinstertaining this weekend? It's Friday night isn't it?

Match Monday night and training last night. Was thankful for a relatively easy session this morning. Hang high pulls: 80x3, 85x3, 90x3 DB OHP: 22.5kg x8x3 (slow reps, 4 seconds on the eccentric phase) Bench row: 65kg x5x3 (2 second hold at the fully contracted position) Pull ups: BWx6, BWx5, BWx5 (s...

Will you wit kant post more info than just the url. Add in what it is that the link goes to. Is it a two birds playing tonsil tennis or is it just a skateboarder falling over?

Nolanator

Golf ball should work, if a bit hard. Hard medicine balls work for the calves, use it as you would a foam roller but it digs into a smaller area.
I use a sliotar. Dunno how easy it is to get them across the water though. They're in every sports shop over here.

I'm not sure, but I'd like to echo those sentiments. It looks far too much like hard work. Have I mentioned that I hate conditioning?

It made perfect sense to me.

I suppose there is something to be said for not hanging your bodyweight of the various connective tissues in your shoulder while they're completely limp.

Any ire I had directed towards MOD was for his selections for Ireland when he patently wasn't up to it in the latter years. Not doubting his commitment or anything, just that it was infuriating seeing him in Irish squads in the last couple of years. He would have been pretty handy to have about Lei...

Trinity gym maherro?

Avoid that place in the evenings for the next few weeks. It's still suffering from the new years rush.

Just noticed that Paddy McCabe was in that squad, never knew that.

He's had to retire this year through some degenerative neck injury. Serious shame, savage prop and a very decent guy.

That J1 SH is very handy. The fucker has the exact same name as me too.

Considered points? "Hmmm we have shit centres but let's make Sexton pass them more ball so the pack can spend even more of the match trying to dig the ball out from behind the gainline" Who said that?

Great. What a depressingly stagnant team.

Cleans are a very technical movement and can present a challenge to someone who's never done them before. They are an excellent exercise though so keep at them. Once you get the hand of the movement you'll notice how much you can do will go up a fair bit as you learn the movement. Neurological adapt...

Statto I'm surprised at you going along with the "his average/sporadic form in green is somebody else's fault" mantra re Sexton. He hasn't shown anywhere near the same level of form as he does with Leinster. He's not a 5 cap noob who needs hugs before, during and after matches anymore. He's 26 year...

That's just pure bollocks Fester. He's not the best 12 in the world. But he has what it takes to play at that position with competency.

I hope Ferris breaks Parra, regardless of the result. I hate his face.
