I have been mixing up sets and reps quite a bit, but that is roughly the routine. I want to start incorporating squats but have poor hip/ankle flexibility, mainly due to sitting all day. Any tips to improve this? Plus, I want to work on my grip strength. What specific exercise would you recommend t...

Yup. Moore on recent form could be in our first choice 23 by the end of next season and Furlong is still young but could be joining him soon after. Has Moore been playing that much recently? I didn't even know he was getting much gametime. Playing AIL mainly for Lansdowne. Only just turned 22 so is...

Still unravelling from 10 hours shovelling snow, planning a few wee home gym upgrades. Does anyone know anything about spin bikes? The missus is very keen and it would be handy to have something we can use in the house when the kids are in bed. The domestic/light commercial ones are about 500 lids ...

IN the 1997 movie 'The Game', starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, in one of the last scenes an extra quotes Scripture to Douglas' main character. Specifically he quotes John 9:25: "whereas once I was blind, now I can see." James Downey has described the improvement in Munster's play at the week...

Good riddance, shit winger anyway, slow, overrun simple passes and headless.

Stats You're fond of dismissing my uncomfortable truths as trolling but the fact is that Leinster had Fitz in a tight spot last year and used it to their advantage in negotiations. Now it's payback time. Payback time? It's not as if the 5 games of rugby that Luke has played since those last contrac...

MunsterMan!!!!!

Fitzgerald won't make a big impact at Munster. Not quick enough for the wing, never convincing at centre and far too injury prone. I've always felt he would make a great 12. Maybe more 13 now given the size increases. You dont make 25yo centres. If he were any good there he'd be playing there alrea...

MunsterMan!!!!!

Fitzgerald is probably the best wing on this island for the last 5 years, if not ever. Great to have him on board.

Starting back tomorrow. Being off training for a month due to wedding and honeymoon. Looking to get going at 5, 3, 1 but will prob do basic this week of 4 x 8 on Bench, Squat, Deadlift & Shoulder Press (possibly Chin-ups). Gonna do 2 assitance exercises along with main lifts - any pointers as to wh...

MunsterMan!!!!!

I think these moves are a good thing, you have to give a certain number of Academy kids a proper shot every season, and the journeymen take their game time without adding a lot to their provinces, or anything to Ireland. Munster's midfield could shape up very nicely, JJ is a talent, LLL is still a ...

MunsterMan!!!!!

Chopping some deadwood from the backline stocks still won't fix our stinky-ass midfield. If we use a 10 that can pass and has some threat when running the mid field will look an awful lot better. Its funny.... Downey or Laulala or Dineen or whoever taking the ball flat on the flat on the gainline =...

Heard a story this evening from my old man about what wankers there are in the union. Back in day Warren Gatland really needed a scrum machine for the team. He had to go like a beggar from committee to committee to plead for the lousy 3.5K. Alas, he was refused. The bill for the committee members a...

Do you think Kearney will tour? Dunno. Depends on how much truth there is in Gatland saying the 6N is only part of his selection process. Kearney was nailed on to tour and at one stage to start less than a year ago. He may need a very good April to get his foot on the plane. I think bringing someon...

I assume everyone knows the deal with Afoa. He has made it known he wants to leave following his wife becoming unexpectedly pregnant and understandably wanting to have the baby at home around friends and relatives. I doubt Ulster will stand in his way. It just remains to be seen if the IRFU give Ul...

Pulled 225kg, with heavy collars, about as close to 500lbs as possible without going over. Chuffed to bits with that. My knee seems to be taking a while to clear up, so went for some deadlifting instead, very happy I did. :proud: Nice. Did you have a nice bend in the bar? Not sure, didn't video it ...

That would free up Kidney to take the Leinster gig, though, so not all bad.

Everyone is happy then

Gatland in limerick today,must be seriously considering PoC if he's here for an A match. Is he really? That's tops :thumbup: I don't think he has a choice. Grey was carried off on the weekend and won't play much Rugby for the rest of the season. None of the Irish locks in the current test team are ...

If POM is the new Quinlan does that mean we'll have to put up with years of moaning about him not being picked by Ireland when in actual fact he's dropped at provincial level? But he won't be dropped at provincial level,and neither was Quinnie,whenever he was fit he made the match day squad. He's c...

I think the BOD affect on the decision may have more to do with the moment where BOD had to gather the ball two feet from his own line after that kick pass abortion from the Cork man.
