Fitness Beers 2011??

Hanley

Following on from the success of the 2010 session (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=67558740#post67558740), surely it's time to get one in before the year's out?

It's been brought to my attention that we can be a bit clique-y around here so this could be a good chance for the newer forum members to come along and see what we're actually like in real life (hint: you'll be isolated and put down, just like online - I kid, I kid ), I don't know about anyone else, but I definitely think the atmosphere on the forum got better after last years session.

Anyone fancy it??







EDIT 1
...I just want to clarify, I've loads of friends in real life too, and this isn't a desperate cry for help. Honestly.

EDIT 2
...lets just start gauging interest and when suits people, we can edit the title/add a poll/start a new thread for planning purposes once we get a handle on general interest

EDIT 3
...also, I should add - this is open to ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE on the forum, even if you just lurk!!

EDIT 4
...it appears the poll allows multiple selections - so I guess if you're free both nights, select both and vote!

g'em

Great idea. Did we ever get around to doing Tabata shots last time?!

the drifter

I dunno....im scared for life after meeting COH in real life....



edit: hell ya im in!!!

Yeah sounds good. As long as you aren't going to make us go shirtless and do "Franley" :pac:

WAHEY!!

COH

Long over due imo. I'm definately in!

I think the night needs a definitive theme... my vote is for 'kipping'. We've seen how kipping can be applied to sparring, push ups, squats... now lets see how it can be applied to the dance floor, chat up lines and zaytoon

+1, and if that doesn't get the crowds in, you may as well all f*ck off.

We even have a video instructional on it...

Perfect. Bring her along.

We'll get COH to call her during the night and ask if you can stay out. (that one's a bit of an in-joke from the last night - see how cool this is... we have in-jokes!)

If this is the criteria then you're not going. Either am I for that matter. And Drifter and L DEFINATELY aren't

gymsoldier

Ha. Any ideas of dates/times or venues yet?

Well I figured we could have a fitness forum regulars section (ie the non-sound people) and the irregular contributers section (ie everyone else incl. gymsoldier)

Probably a Saturday evening in November?

COH...?

Everyone else?

COH

GPC rules out the first two weekends for me, saturday 19th/26th maybe?

EDIT: We sticking to the same format as before? Train then party? If it suits to do this is town again I'm sure I can offer RAW as a base again

Plenty of German Volume training and a very low cal diet makes zamboni a cheap date.

Touché! I saw the pictures of what I missed though at the end of the night. I don't think cardio,shoot me has posted since...boards beers was the breaking of him.

Same - I'm away for the next three weekends but 19th/26th is good for me.

G'em (or other mods) can you add a poll in giving people the option of beers on 19th/26th/no preference on those two/other (specify)??

EDIT: We sticking to the same format as before? Train then party? If it suits to do this is town again I'm sure I can offer RAW as a base again

Yeah, I think that'd be fairly savage if you can.

Has your voice broken yet?

xgtdec

so if you go for junk food at 3am do you all give each other dis-approving looks?

from the way a lot of the personalities go on the fitness section you wont find a place to physically fit all you beasts....is the O2 too small?, least you wont be hard to spot on the night.

Do you guys search boards for stats before the session in RAW to make sure people can lift the numbers they say they can

3am is early days, junk food at 8am

The Davestator

I'm having a Hernia op on the 14th (stupid deadlifting) so I'll have to play it by ear!

paulmclaughlin

Hmmm Fitness Beers. What are they? Where can I buy them? And do they work?

Gluten Free.
Its more paleo than bacon.
It'll put 20kg on your total.
Regardless of what you think of as your total.

Nice.

I think this woman might have misunderstood the concept:

Brian?

Have a wedding to attend on the 26th. But will consider tipping along if it's the 19th.

Weekend after GPC's sounds delish

That'll be 8 weeks or so sans drink......should be interesting!!

Did you do any "games" at the pre-drinking workout last year? Like double body weight deads for reps etc.

We had a fat-bar overhead pressathon... I think the target was 120kg, a few of us got up to 117.5 as far as I remember. Most people were doing their own training, Hanley was doing Coan Phillipi, L was testing his bench etc.. then we all ended up doing stupid crap like tyre flipping/prowler pushing etc.

Why... you feel like laying down a gauntlet?? I'm too fat for double bodyweight deads!

Double body weight deads, or dead hang pull up's is the only thing I would be competitive in ha. I am only weighing in at 74/75kg at the moment, so I'd be humiliated in heavy pressing.
