Some boffins from MIT conducted a study and found that people who went to the gym and concentrated on what they were doing themselves were 97% less bothered about what others were doing. YEAH SCIENCE!

Its hard not to notice when you're waiting to use the squat rack and some hardman in a tank top that thinks he huge is doing bi ceps or at least attempting to :rolleyes: really grinds my gears and adds time onto my workout,such is to be expected in commercial gyms I suppose though.

Every time I hear power curls mentioned I think of Rick Bruch. Anyone seen the documentary on him? Quality watching IMO.

Curling in the squat rack? Ask him to move, in that case. But in future just pick someone out with good form and watch them ;-)

Is there any book that anyone would suggest on nutrition that kind of simplifies it to a certain extent? It's something I am understanding more and more but also want to know more .

150g whey,
80g oats
30-50g coconut
50g nut butter
20g of honey/maple syrup
30g almond meal or chopped nuts

If you don;t have the last two dont worry about it.

Mix the dry ingredients. Heat the nut butter a little, add the syrup and pout into the mix. Add 100ml of water.
Mix well. It get pretty hard to mix, add more water if you need it, but try and use as little as possible to get it fully combined.

Spoon into a large ziplock bag, or two smaller ones. Squeeze the air out and put into the freezer.
After 30 mins, they should be set enough to slice into bar. Do it now before they freeze.

I keep them in the freezer and take a few out at a time and store im the fridge.

My grid roller arrived today. My IT bands now have a contract out on my life. I'm not sure if they're tears of fear or tears of pain...

Time to experiment: a pound of turkey mince in burger form and 8 jumbo sausages that are 87% pork... First time I've eaten like this since I got out of hospital 4 wks ago. I'm assuming i'll do something Popeye-esque.

Sometimes I do wonder why some people bother going the gym, some woman in the gym today walking at a very casual pace on the treadmill having a very loud and casual conversation while she was at it for about half an hour.
