Running 6 miles in the morning and 6 miles in the evening after a lengthy break. Bad idea or good idea? Bad idea. I would break it down to running a slow 6 miles in the morning and then a sprint session at night. Unless you're training for a marathon or the like, there's no need to run 12 miles a d...

Can someone explain to me what the point of EZ-curl bars are. I am not an avid curler, but my new routine has curls as an accessory, so I have been doing preachers with the ez curl but I find it f**king uncomfortable. I much prefer to use dumbells or one of the flat bars. Make sure you do curls in ...

Well..... My 'friend' is thinking about proposing. How much should he spend on a ring? And, what should he do to get some value. He's been married before and dropped $11k on a 1ct solitaire 'brilliant' cut. Reckons he could have done a little better though as Perth is notoriously expensive for ever...

Well I was always taught it should be, as a minimum, a months wage plus a half (although having a quick google reveals that there is some debate between 1 month to 3 months), which is about right for what I spent on my now wife's (about £2,500, which is what in Australian shekels, about Aus$3,500, ...

I paid $3.5K on my fiancée's. fudge spending any more than that. It's a ring.

Did upper body today. Feeling a bit sore now.

5x5 bench press. 65kgs (getting back up to pre-injury strength)
5x5 ohp 50kgs
3x5 chin ups
5x5 dumb bell incline press 25kgs
5x5 cable flies 32kgs
3x10 squat thrusters with a 20kgs plate.

I'm loving that last exercise. I've only just started doing them.

Last night I had the Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale. First beer in a while that I've gotten halfway through and then poured it down the sink.

I followed it up with a Rogue Amercian Amber Ale. Much better.

It was rather good. Similar in mouth feel to the Little Creatures DIPA. Not as bitter as I thought it would be but quite resiny with citrus undertones. Like most American IPA's I have tasted. 9% so it made me sleepy.

I will have mine with a toasted ham and cheese sandwich at 11pm tonight.

I quite like that Red Racer 5. I had one of these last night: Dogfish Head 90min IPA http://legalbeer.com/images/dogfish%20head%2090%20minute%20imperial%20ipa.jpg I have one of these in the fridge for when I come home from the game. Rogue Soba Ale. http://legalbeer.com/images/rogue%20morimoto%20soba...

Pew pew pew!!

60 minute IPA is lovely.

If you liked 60, you'll looove 90!

Excellent. I have some of the 90 minute as well.

I also want to try the 120 minute.

I shall try that.

Also, my Dogfish Head beers arrived yesterday. I can attest to their deliciousness. 60 minute IPA is lovely.

I am going away for a few months to quite a remote town in Portugal - Just getting back into training for the first time in 6 months, very unfit and I would say a good stone over my ideal weight at 12.5 (80kg). There is no gym so apart from running I am trying to think of what to do training wise a...

Upper body today.

5 sets of 5 reps for the following.

Bench: 65kgs
OHP: 47.5kgs
Pull ups (getting better at these)
Incline dumbell bench: 20kgs ea
Cable flies: 32kgs ea
Bent rows: 30kgs ea
Skull crushers: 30kgs

Feel good. Starting to get some strength back. Tomorrow is HIIT.

My carton of Dogfish 60min IPA shall be arriving tomorrow.

I shall report on my findings.

What I find puzzling is their sudden obsession with hot pink jerseys. Every time I flick on the TV it seems one of the NRL teams is dressed in hot pink - and it's always a different team! It's like they watched a decade old game from Stade Francais rugby and thought, "wait a minute ... you can do t...

Had these over the weekend. Quite nice, I preferred the Whale Ale though. http://cdn.beerstore.com.au/sites/beerstore.com.au/files/imagecache/product/prod-img/murrays-nirvana-pale-ale-beer-online-1336441224.jpg http://www.moonshadow.com.au/photographs/11009142102murrays_whale_ale.jpg I found their ...

Ha!

Also, what's the best photo hosting site? I've been wrestling with Tumblr but hate it. Flickr?

Do you reckon you guys could post up your settings with the photos? It helps noobs like me. Ta.

Hypertrophy wipes me out a fair bit more than strength stuff. The DOMS lasts longer and you feel a session for longer afterwards than with strength stuff. At least, that's my experience. Yeah, the only time I get serious DOMS from strength training is when I'm starting a new program/getting my fat ...

Yeah, Dogfish Head beers have appeared at Sow Beer and Innspire in the past but sell out super quickly. I had their collaboration with Renaissance (The Portermarillo) last year. Superb.

Yeah, I quickly emailed the link to my mate who emailed me back and said "Grey Imports"

He's bought similar stuff and it was handled badly. He's emailed his mate at Innspire for verification.

Mother. Of. God.

Is that place legit? I need to know before I drop a couple of hundred clams.

Cheers mate.

Proper sleep? What's that? My 7 month old has croup. I've had about 7 hours sleep combined in the last 2 nights. Off to the gym at lunch today to sleep. I mean, chest and shoulders. fudge.

I have come across something called the "Villain Challenges" and they look brutal! Villain Challenge 1: 100 burpees in 5 minutes. http://www.strengthvillain.com/?p=117 Villain Challenge 2: Squat your bodyweight for 50 consecutive reps. http://www.strengthvillain.com/?p=163 Villain Challenge 3: 100 ...

Right. Started the 'mission' this week. No booze during the week. Yesterday's food intake was: Pre-breakfast: protein shake. No carbs or fat. Breakfast: 3 poached eggs. One piece of toast. Snack: small tub of natural fruit salad Lunch: 200g of turkey breast with salad Snack: half a carrot and an app...

Oh yeah, for sure. Also, the car is on fire.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, if you want to get leaner, the easiest way is to eat less energy! The best way is to eat lots of good energy and lift so much weights and move so much that you're running on a calorie-deficit. You'll look like a Spartan warrior by September if you keep ...

Thomas - whatever you do, keep some strength training in there. Twice a week, something like that. Something basic and simple like A - squat/bench 3x5 +row B - deadlift/OHP 3x5 +pull-ups Cheers. I have kept up with the benching and OHPs. I just need to work on my form for the other two lifts. I'm a...

Fight night tonight.

Does fighting meth-heads and junkies down at the park count? I could do that.

I sort of eat a Paleo-ish diet and the low-carb dinners we have are similar to what you've posted.

And yes, bodyweight squats are fine. I do a HIIT at the end of some workouts 5 sets of:

10 air squats
10 burpees
10 pushups
10 ohp with 30kgs
10 box jumps

Fucks me up.

Cheers mate. Paleo just isn't going to work for me. I had a hard enough time convincing my lady to go low-carb. I'll persist with the 3x8 routine above for another 3 weeks just to change things up. Then back to the 5x5. My physio told me to give dead lifts and squats a rest due to back issues so I'l...

Okay blokes. I need some advice. I'm getting married in September and I want to look a bit better (what, I here you say, is that even possible?). I've had a few injuries in the last couple of months but nothing really serious. Basically, I've been following (sort of) the 5x5 stronglifts program. I'v...
