Since when does being a moaning selfish c**t make you less of a footballer I always said Ronaldo is the greatest player ive ever watched live and i stick by that......i think he,s consistently at a higher level than Messi as well.

The negative side to any lift is equally if not more important Dave.......the downside to free weight exercises is poor form,people throw the weight around and often let ego dictate.....i truly believe that for people lifting naturally its physically impossible to train the body under maximum stress for any more than about 10 days.....many times people call it high intensity but they really dont attack the weight with full vigour while maintaining form simply because its a f****n horrible way to train ....Its often used by seasoned lifters to get you through plateaus but apart from that its n

There is a little voice in my head that is saying that, plus im 42 and got 2 young sons that I want to be climbing trees with, kicking a ball about, swimming etc etc they arent going to be adults for a long time, (youngest is 1!) so... got to get in shape & stay at it for them. There you go......you have 2 walking talking reasons to stay motivated

We would still be classed as a spit and sawdust gym by most people,plenty of free weights/bench spotters etc......but like many industries once health and safety get involved certain criteria have to be met or you get closed down plain and simple By the way theres actually a lot of benefits in training at home i wouldnt knock it. I don't mind training at home,Im not one of the "I need somebody to push me" brigade The only problem is you can only have so much equipment at home cash/space dictating this.Although I prefer free weights theres some things I don't have ie squat rack etc,I

It depends on the individual but personally i dont like to train alone im always more motivated training with others,as much as folk say theres not subconsciously theres always an element of competition going on.....plus you need each other for spotting/form/forced reps etc The benefits of training at home are that you dont have to wait for equipment and its comfortable surroundings but i dont like to be too comfortable in gyms i think you lose a bit of edge and its never a good idea to go full out training alone anyway.

Perhaps they are a pair of noofters !..............As Mule says put a nestpan in and let us know what occurs.

" Grow old gracefully "..................aint that what fat ugly women say about other women that still have a little bit about them While the body still allows me to test myself mate im not going to change the habit of a lifetime

They are cracking grips Tomo not like the shitty Argos things from years ago....grip is such a hard thing to train,beyond the old plate pinching exercises and things like them mad home made contraptions Bruce Lee came up with theres not an awful lot on the market.....i did manage to close a number 3 Captain of Crush a few years ago but like i say it can easily cause flexor injuries if you go too mad i stick around the number 2 - 2.5 most of the time......theres all manner of sets/reps you can do Ironmind publish a few different books worth flicking through for an idea.

Its one of the few industries that can still get away with being sexist ......Pure bodybuilding gyms,otherwise known as " Male Only " gyms are one of the few leisure facilities thats actually come down in price over the years......my gym has a non members fee of £4.50 per session......i used to train in a well known local gym called Len Sells in the 90,s and paid £5 per session then !!......a years membership used to cost upwards of £500.....today we do a Gold Membership thats £260 annually.....a 12 month membership for £30 at £3 per session......and Silver/Bronze memberships in between......

Try and get your poundage up on strict basic barbell curls........thats all a close grip palms facing chin is anyway

Grip training is one of the most physically demanding areas of strength training there is,theres no cheats to it !!.....The Captain of Crush grips are a good place to start....dont feel a fairy about starting on the easier ones if its something your not used to as you can easily injure yourself starting too high.....rope climbing of course is a good exercise......Ive had a lot of hand trouble over the years and have a fair bit of arthritis in them so ive been very lucky to retain the strength in them that i have. Stop saying you feel a c**t......any gym where folk take the piss out of any lev

It sounds like one of those Fitness First type gyms where they lay their towel out over a bench before laying on it Best of luck to you Walshie....good move
-
Tomo its not just about body strength a lot of the heavier guys just dont have the grip strength to hold their own weight its nothing to be ashamed of......im not as good on the wide grip these days but i,ll still do 2 minutes constant 1 handed with palm facing.......its a great arm wrestlers exercise as the constant brings the tendons in to play more so than muscular strength.....and of course grip strength helps
-
I know plenty of strong healthy lads who cant do a single pull up......with a close grip and palms facing in performed correctly its a basic bicep exercise that most people can do as the biceps is what is termed " a showy muscle " hence most trainers work them hard..............a wide grip with palms out is a back/lats exercise,not such a showy muscle hence you wouldnt believe how many trainers struggle with them ! Nothing wrong with old fashioned facilities......basic equipment will give the best gains when first starting out anyway.

These days you have little pretty boys walking into gyms with their uksca qualification thinking they are the bee,s knees throwing out all the long words and scientific data your willing to listen to........they,ve all spent the last year with their little ascc application pack under their arm on the road to glory of becoming............wait for it................a personal trainer !!!

When you play cards for money do you play to win or to have an entertaining game ?........Put your own money/arse on the line and see how much chance you give the other person If he breaks the rules then so be it,but he doesnt.....He threw and landed far more punches than Pacquiao did the other night theres nothing in the rules that say opponents cant fight the way he fights........ I find watching Mike Tyson 1 punch ko highlight reels followed by biting an opponent to get out of fighting him cowardly myself......Mayweathers pinpoint counter punching on the back foot i find technicall

Divide weight by height ( kg/mtrs).................then divide the answer by your height again........................the answer is your bmi.

Without wishing to sound rude Jetro your diet before must of been terrible !.....Any weight loss will require you to use up more calories than your taking in so the general basic figure being 500 - 1000 calories per week for a 1 - 2 pound loss.......you do the maths of the amount of calories you were theoretically taking in before. Well done though mate your living again now
-
I can understand that......the average fan wants to see excitement and when they cant see that they at least want to see a close competetive fight.......Mayweathers ring intelligence is so high i cant see him having many close exciting fights.......personally i enjoy watching him as i was the sort of careless brawler who took 3 punches to land 1 of my own so i appreciate his artistic skills perhaps more than most......but even so i still couldnt watch a Mayweather fight more than a few times it just becomes predictable...We,re a funny bunch in England though.....most nations admire sporting gr

I couldnt agree more.

Are you finding it's mainly gym folk that are eating there or is it the general public that's using the place ....... This has always been a strong sporting area Socks but the Olympics the other year just pushed the fitness industry on in leaps and bounds everywhere not just East London,but of course the fact it was held in East London meant those who get given good advice by bright intelligent people tended to do ok out of it ........the shop could survive on the gym/boxing boys alone as a lot of the boxers will order 6 weeks of food before a fight and have them delivered fresh etc.....

No its not my gaff its a stones throw from my gym and i have a couple of quid tied up in it thats all.
