Im a 9th degree pink with yellow stripes belt in origami...................but im still not a trainer of top level athletes !
-
Still a nice weight though mate.......heres a little test you can give your pal as regards arm wrestling...... Lets say his 1 rep max on a dumbell curl is 40 kg ( just as an example )...........put a 60 kg dumbell in his hand at 90 degrees to his body and tell him to hold it there for 20 seconds,not curl it just hold it..................................that will be a good indicator of his tendon strength as opposed to muscular strength. So whatever his max 1 rep curl is......put half again on and hold it at 90 degrees........its usually a good rough guide

Pulling on a proper competition table is a whole different ball game to pulling across a table or bar...............ive won and lost good money messing about like that years ago it was only when i started taking it more serious that i realised just how much is about technique and how much is actual strength.......ive seen real strong guys pull the arm off you over the dinner table but when on a comp table couldnt pin you for love nor money ! That said....if they,re 25kg plates to my calculations thats 170kg with an Olympic bar......damn good squatting for somebody so tall......squat/deadlift
-
That was a very very exaggerated version of a top roll yes................a posting top roll is mainly for a longer arm....post ( as in lamp post )....meaning your basically pulling towards your own body and making your forearm as long as possible before turning the arm over......the further away you can drag your opponents hand from his body the weaker he becomes thats just the law of physics............you really have to be strong in the whole arm from fingers/wrists all the way up to shoulder.....even your lats come into play.........but still nothing is more important than speed and techni
-
Travis Bageant.....yes he,s one of the top pullers but he pulls more left handed than right which obviously worldwide theres more right handed than left.......Like most other things the East Europeans and Russians are taking over.....if you get time Tomo check out a fella called Alexi Voevoda i went to Poland some years back to watch the world championships he beat Bageant and Brzenk semi final and final and was unbelievable everybody at the time said he will never be beaten........but he packed the sport in straight away to compete in Bobsleigh !!! Its more about technique than outright stre
-
Its a debate thats raged for years i suppose,so clearly not a black and white thing.....im certainly not blessed enough in the English language to put a definition on what i think a sport is and im not ignornat as much as to say this or this isnt......like anything its down to what an individual thinks dont necessarily make them right.....as an example for me darts is a sport and cyclings not..............cant really explain my own twisted logic but just the way i see it......always an interesting topic though
-
Tomo that was an ArmWars event in London the bloke your on about was Devon Larrat....he is a loudmouth but he,s an unbelievable puller........ I got into it by chance i was in America about 15 years ago and just out of interest went to a little conference the then world champion John Brzenk was there taking on any and everyone after a competition......i didnt have a clue what i was doing but i beat him first pull i was as shocked as he was.......he then took it a bit more serious and beat me 7 straight pulls in a row ....but its what first got me interested.....its not so much about muscle s
-
Now hang on a f****n minute.........................lets have this right......a hare can run up to or around what......45 - 50 mph ?......................Usein Bolt the worlds fastest EVER man runs 100 m at 27 mph.............................. So theres some african somewhere nobody knows about who can run nearly double as quick as the fastest man ever...............but he,s not going to the Olympics ....yeah itchy beard !!...............mind you if the sun says its true......who am i to argue.
-
Is a skipping rope race a sport ? its physical and competetive......................not for me. I dont doubt white water rafting or archery or equestrian dressage whatever its called....are all a whole lot of fun and interesting to watch.............but for me those type of things are interests/hobbies..................not sports. Ive been competing on and off in arm wrestling for years now,it requires a whole bunch of physical and mental qualities and skills but i accept its not a sport,hence i cant accept something like archery or dressage IS a sport......................only my opinion li
-
From a sporting point of view im looking forward to the athletics....not much else really interests me.....shooting,volleyball,white water rafting they,re not sports... From a political point of view i couldnt give a shit if theres better things to spend the money on.....we,ve sacrificed enough in this country if holding onto sport,one of our strongest and oldest traditions is going to cost a few bob we dont really have then sod it im all for it...............maybe it will mean we cant afford so many new mosques next year !
-
Its an inherent fault in our society Scot..... English as well as Scottish..................most countries defend and stand up for their sporting leaders..............we rip the piss out of them any chance we get ! In this case his bird,his looks,his personaility,his money......................everything except how he plays tennis ................Its something i,ll never understand !
-
I didnt know he has a good record against Federer,cant say as im a big tennis fan only really watch when a Brits playing.......spose you still have to make Federer favorite but be interesting to see if Murray meets him in the final. And as regards Scot or Brit i see him as a Scot regardless why would anyone not.
-
Just so as you hateful little Jocks dont think we are the same as you ...............Good luck to the boy i hope he gets through to the final......Got to be his best chance ever seeing as Nadals out......Doubt he would take a set off Federer if he does make the final.......but hope he gets there anyway certainly a top class performer and very good athlete.
-
I love a gamble....but never in my life done the lottery........and dont know anyone whos ever won more than a tenner....so wont be changing my views anytime soon.

Oh right ok .....do what i do then and get some other mug to do it !..................... I know they take some looking after,just think they,re a nice looking hedge if looked after. -
what things you found when exercising/mooching/hunting
gnasher16 replied to forest of dean redneck's topic in General Talk
As young teenage boxers one of our regular runs used to be the old Grand Union canal near the Mile End Rd East London.....early 1 saturday morning 3 of us were running and we found a human hand !!!......Not really knowing the seriousness of it 1 of us kicked it into the canal............later in the week it was on the news and papers etc that a local bloke had been ironed out in a pub fight and when the fella realised he,d killed him he chopped him up and scattered bits of him round Mile End they was appealing for witnesses but we was too scared to say anything at the time No wonder we all -

gnasher16 replied to squab's topic in General Talk
Why not just get a load of little leylandi conifers,couple of quid each,couple of feet apart and they can grow 3 feet a year within a couple of years your have a hedge that looks sensible as well as do the job. -
Watched that last night,stone me ive never seen Brixton nick looking so clean ......and that shop on Clapham High Street.....there was white people there !!! Talk about play to the cameras !
-
Instead of protecting c**ts like Brady in mental hospitals they should of been put on any regular wing of any regular nick in the country from day 1.........with their name on the back of their shirt.................................................Let the punishment fit the crime !
-
Was Ray Wilkins not just caretaker manager at Chelsea though ? does that count......and is Lou Macari one of that 13....or not ?
-
Few more are Steve Coppell,Brian Kidd.........possibly even Lou Macari but i wouldnt swear to it.

Id be of the opinion that the bull blood is more than likely the reason for stubborness and not allowing himself to be overwhelmed or dominated by you.......but i dont think anyone wants a dog that will just take a beating and go hide in the corner i couldnt respect a dog like that. Im sure many people who have owned pure bulls will be familiar with the old " bottom jaw trembling " in excitement...ive been on the end of that a few times where it turned into what we used to call the " love bites " just an exciteable little nip you just put up with it.....but thats nothing to do with being bitt

Well when you saw the title " UEFA UERO 2012 " why did you click on it and make comments then you mong !............better things to do with your time than watch it but plenty of time to talk about it !...................Football is THE most popular sport worldwide,so YOU are the odd one out nobody else,maybe best to keep that in mind

Ive always found that a strange attitude to have.................... Intelligence to say " f**k this im a survivor im outta here "..................or intelligence to say " ive got to be clever in the way i fight " ? Either way unless your picking completely inferior opposition the times going to come when your backs against the wall and the little subject of gameness comes to the surface.............and if its not their..................
-
Read what KawValley says on the subject....personally i agree with everything he,s said so far.............................far as im concerned you will never see true gameness from a pit dog underground................... And in all fairness,if the Patterdale doesnt have enough gameness within them already then what exactly does the Patterdale add to the cross in the first place,just size ?
