That is the funniest sh1t I've seen in ages. :pac:
Hargreaves has just rocketed in my estimation.

Saw them the other day, I'm not sure what that contraption he's wearing in some of them. That's a PT that charges 250 per session. I really hope the whole thing is a pisstake.

Mike Murphy or Jeremy Beadle. In fairness it's probably rehab or pre-hab something for que soccer players

Reggy

I reckon he should try some swiss ball squats.... :D

Reggy

I heard that he decided to end his football career and in these vids he's actually auditioning for a rockband...

Thus showing skill and footballing ability is what matters.

Stall the ball - no ones critising his abilties, just how stupid the s&c stuff he's doing looks.

He's been injured for about 4 years now, I can't believe Man Utd are still paying him 150k a week

I feel somewhat honoured a brave internet warrior has abused me.
Thank you.

"what you think of dave80?"
"he's a hard man with a keyboard"
"Woah....that's hard, Danny Dyer should do a show on him"
"a show? that man deserves a series!"

g'em

dave80 and King of Kings, take the flirting to PM please. Enough.

Reggy

was asking physio about this. she was saying that its a bit of a novel (crazy) idea, (the running backwards part). I felt that surely he's giving himself a greater chance of injury jumping around on a treadmill and she agreed, but usually the patient is harnessed to prevent falls.

apparently walking backwards or running backwards uses approx 4 times the amount muscles than forward motion, in particular the glutes and hamstrings. apparently it prevents back pain too....

so thats dodgy hamstrings, sh1tty knees, a dislocated shoulder, and (possibly) a bad back. There are amputees in better condition than Hargreaves, unfortunate b@st@rd. still think he's worth the risk, fabulous player on his day.

Was that before or after he slipped and fell off the threadmill whilst running sidewards and backwards on it?

It's there to provide resistance to certain moves. I've seen guys train striking for MMA with similar things

He contract was basically "pay for play". So he only got basic wages when he was injuried

I'm absolutely addicted to this video, the Michael Ballack and J.A. Riise ones are savage too, good find Hanley!
