    I've never tried the 2.5... but I'll have to work up to it again. Samuelson was the last man to close the 4 about 10 years ago. Joe Kinney is the grip man though... They made the 4 to his ability and he was the first to close it in 98. It's a phenomenal 365lbs crush! His home made grip machines are the stuff that Ironmind based some of their gear on! I hear you on the injury front. I think when you're younger and invincible you're more likely to push the point but the insurance of decent gear pays dividends. I'm simply not able to drop the kind of money on the memberships, for 4 of us, as

    Awesome pull though, mate. I could never close the 3 but I could rep with the two. I put that down to deadlifting with 3" barbells! This isn't my first set of vulcans. First set got stolen when I live in Manchester, and I paid a lot of money for them at the time. The reason I'm buying these is for longevity. They're cheaper and better than a lot of the commercial racks available, plus the space requirements for a commercial set isn't great for a home set up. Not to mention the gyms around here are set up for posers and playtime triathletes. I don't like the atmosphere where appearance is
  3. Is it true Manny is blaming a shoulder injury for the defeat?
  4. Wasn't synthol part of Arnold's bicep arsenal?

    Swedish snus, for me.

    I was waiting for someone to mention Ironmind products. They're seriously high quality. A lot of emphasis on the old school strongman exercises. I like their no nonsense philosophy. I'm a couple of quid away from the Vulcan squat racks for the garage! Nice to see you closed the number 3! Did you get certified on it, or was it just a personal best?
  8. I visit a maybe two forums because time is a factor, and I like pictures and arguing.
  9. b*****d! Just sprayed my afternoon coffee!
  10. Wow! And you guys take the piss out of us over on the religion thread! Peace!
  11. They are... look at today's NY Post... Notice that 3 of the charged police officers are... black!
  12. Equality. Simple as. My thoughts on abortion? No uterus. No opinion.
  13. Gnash, this Baltimore flare up isn't about race. It never was. It's about police brutality, and treatment in custody. The mayor of Baltimore is black. The chief of police is black. The city's population is predominantly black. The police force is predominantly black, also. I can see your mathematical analogy, and I agree. In a huge predominantly black city, yes, you're going to see more black men incarcerated. The issue isn't the maths it's the analogy itself. Yes they're statistically more like to get run over crossing the road. Only here they also have to contend with
  14. Sorry for the lateness, mate! I've been working away! I can agree with that. Officer draws his gun and issues the command. The command is ignored and the situation escalates. The thing is the Scott case was over a broken rear light on his car. Hardly something that warrants even more than fixed penalty, never mind the death penalty! Have a look at the video... I'll accept that it starts off with a quick run. The officer alleges that Scott went for his tazer. However he runs and is shot in the back as he's fleeing. Does that punishment honestly fit the crime? Plod over h
  15. I've driven through Crenshaw a few times! Night time is by far the worst and you're absolutely right about rough! We fuel up in Anaheim and refuel again on the way out. There's no way we're stopping anywhere around there, and we're all carrying! There's a standing joke, over here, that streets named Martin Luther King Jnr are some of the most violent places in the US! Going to the point of this thread... Freddie Gray was killed in police custody. He was arrested for possessing a switchblade, which was found after his arrest. His treatment, at the hands of police, was disgusting. H
  16. It's going to be slammed. I'm down there all weekend. No tickets, though, we'll end up watching it in one of the bars.
  17. They have the shit DNA. How do they then go about securing a DNA sample from the offender?
  18. The key phrase is 'but they don't' It could be enforced. Does it warrant an f**k ton of taxpayers money to tackle a problem, that is already an offense? Will they choose to enforce this change? One way generates revenue. The other way costs a lot of money, and creates an overly complicated solution to an already solvable riddle. EDIT: Rubbing their faces in it should be brought in!
  19. The 23-year-old started getting wolf whistles as she walked past a building site on her way to work in Worcester. She tried to ignore it, but it went on day after day, with the builders coming out of the site as she went past. There were also “disrespectful comments”. One day, after she tried to ignore this cacophony, one of the workers approached her on the pavement and blocked her way. Although he didn’t touch her, Smart said he was in her “personal space”, which is incredibly intimidating. “I’m quite a nervous person and this has made my anxiety worse,” she said. It was at this point that s
  20. Or we could just use less money for PCSO's to ticket offenders, thus helping the situation and saving a bit of dough in the process?

    Many happy returns, Bosun! All the very best, mate!
