Has to be bottomless, can't be squatting topless.

I have to wear my lucky speedos when I squat so it'll have to be topless.

Morton stadium or Ballymun council gym. Haven't been to Finglas in years but the last time I was there it was mostly machines.

Get a bus to raw and you can train with me

Cheers lads, Morton Stadium looks ideal.

Might try and make it into RAW for a session or 2, I've a fairly horrible timetable though

Any of yas eat Tvorog at night? Got some in the eastern european shop after checking out the Klokov vid. Sick of having shakes at night. Just wondering do yas eat it straight or mix it with anything?

Just as an update to this, Tvorog tastes like absolute ****. I ate it all anyway.

I don't agree with that kind of structure for toddlers. Play should be fun and not that structured. As for the end statement about not having to rely on out running someone on a soccer field, that's bollocks. Kids shouldn't feel a pressure to win.

And at 280 dollars a month for 2 classes a week, it's not cheap either.

I would agree in theory, that children should be engaged in such structured workouts, but these days it has to be. The alternative is a rather sedentary option. Just to add to the 'pressure to win' thing, it's rife these days. It's such a pity that teams get competitive early. I remember when my GAA team became about who is 'starting' the matches, rather than getting everyone on the pitch for a fair rotation.

Exactly. GAA is all about how far along developed a kid is now instead of taking into consideration their actual skill level and tolerance to the game. Teams much prefer at that age, the tall kid carrying a bit of weight in full forward rather than the kid who'd run rings around the hole full back line but doesn't play because he's shorter.

Structured play is grand, as long as it's not ridiculously over structured because they do need to learn boundaries but crossfit at 3.. really?

Actually, GAA is about the manager picking his kids or relations ahead of better players. :-)

Hmmm, not sure if I avoided it also, or if I was in the train wreck and didn't notice.
