  1. Theres no cafe it sounds more like the first one.....ive got pictures of it if i had half an idea how to post them i would !.....im just looking now,.....it looks like a big cornfield or something with a plot say 100 metres square with a house and a few barns,some beaten up old motors......im pretty sure the train line runs between the cliff and the house as you look down......its a pretty desperate looking gaff to be honest but everytime i pass it i have visions of what id do with it
  2. Theres a little layby on the a1 just over the border a few miles south of Eyemouth Golf course,just about my favorite place in Britain....anytime i go to Scotland i make sure to go a1 rather than m6 just to spend a little time there its a great soul cleanser before the long drive home.....theres a little farmhouse at the bottom of the cliff ive had my eye on for years .......love or hate the Jocks you gotta admire their scenery !
  3. Not to pick holes in your routine.....but chest and triceps together is a big no no....bench press being the basis to any chest workout is 70% triceps......by the time you get round to working them they are already fatigued from your chest workout....or if you do them first you,ll never exhaust your chest.....best to keep chest and tris apart.
  4. Best post ive seen on here in a while .....and im certainly not someone who tends to stick up for blacks !
  5. 6 foot 5 ....jesus !!.....Id love to have been that tall might have been able to get my head out the way of a few punches ......Its very hard to get great size when your that tall you look at someone like Schwarzeneger who for me was the most perfect bodybuilder ever at 6 foot 2 he was seen as a really tall guy.....that feeling of great fitness even if only for a short while is certainly something we remember though i think any man remotely interested in fitness can remember the time they was at their physical peak. Bimey Max i think i better start being a little bit more polite to you ...
  6. But how does he get it back home to the dinner table hire a jcb ? ......and we wonder why these little darkies are such good marathon runners !! Not to make light of it....great little clip that i could watch this sort of stuff for hours.....shameful really how much technology we rely on to achieve our goals when they rely on simple determination and understanding.......and a fair bit of endurance
  7. Nearly pissed meself then .....just had a vision of a couple standing at the bar and the bird says " so tell me Jock what have you been doing today " Excellent pics Ideation.......had to check for mud under my fingernails to make sure i wasnt there ...with a bit of concentration it certainly felt like it.....good stuff.
  8. Tomo its not about experience its mainly folk just like you who have given me the majority of any knowledge of training i might have..... people like you who walk into gyms every day discussing things and learning from each other that keeps me on the ball no major success i ever had....id be as well thanking you as i would be thanking Labtastic as thanking anyone else who use gyms and thats one of the things i love about the fitness game its very competetive,but in a very pleasant way
  9. If you like mate......the only reason we are having this conversation is because of a laptop.....typing words,thats what you are doing thats what im doing.............thats what people do on an internet forum.....if you want something proven in the real world then your most welcome to come and have a natter and see if the shoe fits If not......the internet it is im afraid
  10. No problem sir,i think its great when folk decide to get themself switched on to their own body and stop abusing it........your over the worst as for most folk the body is far stronger than the mind and its the mind that usually fails first......if your still keen after the first 3 months the mental test is passed......so good luck to you
  11. :laugh: I remember them fuckers Tomo......if you didnt grease them up first you would have a 25k plate on either side and struggle like f**k pushing metal against metal !!......Todays machines are something else mate counter balanced,electrostatic coating,state of the art bearings......mind you at 10-15 grand a pop which the modern ones are,so they should be.
  12. Rob stop being a prick if you have a view to add then add it.....if you dont then go and pick holes in some other c**t.........i tend not to get involved in debates i have no knowledge on or you just make a c**t of yourself trying to bullshit and front it out............your experience and knowledge of treadmills/outdoor running was you got puffed out for some reason !..........im sure we could all aspire to such a level of understanding.
  13. Rob19058567385867563.............is this the little group of baddies ganging up on me again im not sure i can take it......i prefer to learn through doing something as the written word usually proves a very different story to reality......maybe you should try it. 1Wally......Its a very controversial subject of which theres many different views........similar to the machines/free weights debate in weightlifting and the pros and cons to both..........the forward motion thing is not strictly true.....the moving floor makes it easier on the joints as its essentially like getting a push in the
  14. Theres a hundred and one reasons why running outside is harder than running a mill.....and forward motion isnt one of them. If you dont have to provide forward motion then try standing still on one and see where you end up !.......Its the same as a rowing machine being easier than rowing a boat....or a smiths machine being easier than lifting a barbell.......so many other forces come into play,adrenalin being one,small muscle groups that dont have to compensate for things like uneven ground/balance etc........basic fitness is one of the few subjects that technology has as many pitfalls as it
  15. In my opinion these type of " get fit quick " claims actually do more harm than good to the fitness industry as a whole.....they overcomplicate what is basic common sense and often leave people disillusioned with fitness in general with their play on words......Having trained my body and several other folk to a peak of fitness for sporting events over 30 odd years,even dogs......i know for fact you will never get up off the sofa and reach a peak of fitness in 60 days like these ads claim.....many people try it out for a week going hell for leather,then either get an injury or need more recover
  16. Ive had a couple of very important " good turns " done over the years by very good friends for which my loyalty to them in return will never be in doubt...... As for the old " mistaking kindness for weakness " thing ive also been shafted on that score many times sadly and its not nice !.....Reading a few views of folk on here it amazes me the front some folk have......even on here there are people who will take kindness for weakness,only for the fact im a nice chap did i not make a bigger thing of it and instead went with the " you must need the money more than me " attitude........hopefully
  17. Reading from a book i find difficult sometimes as its hard to concentrate but them audio books are great to get lost in while on a long motorway drive......theres lots of different documentary ones now as well as regular story books.....some of the recent ones ive listened to were The Winston Churchill Speeches.....Gazza....Race to the Pole......John Simpsons War Against Saddam is a good one as well..... Didnt know you could get them on a iphone app i,ll be well away now cheers
  18. Very sad he was a well mannered decent man by all accounts...... certainly one for the Jocks to be proud of. I was a Bristow man myself like,i remember him saying " Jocky Wilson throws his third dart like he,s throwing a javelin "......some player though and they were icons of a great sporting rivalry.............May he rest if peace.
  19. Nobody would find it unreasonable.....but you certainly wouldnt be at your highest level of fitness if you played every day.....and if you wasnt at your highest level of fitness you wouldnt be at your best......and if you wasnt at your best you wouldnt be getting paid as much....... What we see as " fitness " ....is a very different " fitness " that top level athletes need to be in.......poor form is poor form but anything less than peak fitness wont help.
  20. So your reason for breeding them is " people seem to want one ".....well im sure that type of selective high principals attitude is completely different to a plain old " peddlar " !! ....Johnson and Scott were human beings not dogs just because you put a mans name in front of a dog doesnt make it a family bred or even purebred dog you cant get a crossed up bunch of breeds and breed them together and start calling them 1 name in the hope that name sticks and they suddenly become a breed.........and whats a " proper dogman " and what would they want with this rubbish ? Like this country hasnt g
  21. Not to be rude,but it sounds like quite a few contradictions there......if your not peddling them and they are not working dogs what exactly are you breeding for ?.....You say every breeder breeds their dogs for the job they want the dogs to do......well what job is it ?.....You also say they are not a breed but " a type "....yet you choose to call them Bully Kuttas....why not just call them mongrels ? Sounds to me like these are being lined up as the next " in thing " type of dog with no use other than another knob extension breed....... Big ugly clumsy structurally poor looking dogs......b
  22. And then once the dog is " contained "......they shoot it dead !!
  23. I know what all thats about mate i had my years of buying and selling......we look at it as though its just a bit of fun and an interest on the side......but it never is thats just human nature.
  24. 2 things for me.......first is sitting in the dark alone and putting on some nice soft music ( Jean Michele Jarre sort of carry on ) and getting completely lost in the constantly moving underwater picture of the aquarium......second is to set off on my own across some nice scenery and just walk,and walk,and walk concentrating on your breathing and simply soaking up the countryside........ Nothing worse than having pent up nervous energy with no way to release it.......you just got to find what works for you.
  25. Not to make light of it as i admire anyone who can work a pound note.........but say you make your 30 quid on this fishing pole,are you taking into account travelling time to the auction/boot sale,the time you spent looking around for it,the time its going to take to advertise/be at home when the person comes round to buy it........probably comes out about the same hourly rate you could of got working in Mcdonalds......all that sort of game is probably nice if you have a passion for it and see it as a hobby/interest.....but the minute you see it as work is the minute you cant afford to make mi
