Saw parallel bars and chinup bars and some other stuff installed in kilbogget park (home to cabinteely GAA and seapoint rugby club). Some looked gimmicky but at least they did get some decent choices, and not just 100% these yokes with moving parts and zero resistance that some council installations have (they did have a few of these, maybe they did have resistance though).
The chin up bars were quite low (just bend your legs) and the ends were tapering downwards to suit wide grip pullups.
Not sure when they were put in, good to see people were using them, not just kids pricking about, and they are not as far apart as the ones in cabinteely park. They are located around this area, just beside the path

Near the rubgy club there is a 40ft container with pullup bars on it, also in the carpark there is a railing which has a V shape where it meets at 90 degrees which is good for dips. There is a playground which can be full of kids in daytime, and full of drinking kids at night time -but in early morning or evening you could go in. It has really high bars that could be for chinups or muscleups if able. There are monkey bars that go in an arc.
in this link the "dip railing" is near the disabled parking space at the top, and the row of chinup bars are on the blue containers at the bottom.

What are peoples opinions on the humble spud as a carbohydrate source?
I had someone telling me yesterday that when looking to get lean its not great due to how the body processes potatoes, and that rice is a much better carb source for reducing bodyfat....... Sounded like a bit of broscience to be honest but then I was thinking, you wouldn't see too many bodybuilders/athletes etc eating spuds!
Is there any truth to it? Or is it just that your less likely to put butter & salt on your rice?!

Nothing wrong with spuds.
The problem is where people put far too many f then into their face hole.0 -

From a bit of googling, the satiety of spuds looks pretty good, guess I won't be cutting them out!

Spuds are grand. Just not loads of spuds. Sweet potatoes are better as they as lower GI.
But sweet potatoes are actually slightly higher in calories per 100g I believe so if weightloss is your goal, normal potatoes might be better. Also you would generally be having sweet potatoes or potatoes with a protein source so the GI is less relevant, as the GI of the meal would probably be similar enough.
I would view them both broadly the same tbh, but can't understand the obsession a lot of people have with sweet potato, but who demonise a normal spud (not directed at you Brian in any way - a general point

But if you're counting calories for weight loss the kcals/100g can easily be factored in. But yeah, I don't understand why spuds are frowned upon so often. They're grand.they/them/theirs

Sweet potatoes were a little bit niche a few years ago. The trendiness of that, plus GI, Paleo, and a few other pushing them lead to superfood status.caviardreams wrote: »It never ceases to amaze me how a lot of fitness people think eating a 'normal' potato will practically make you obese overnight, but if it's sweet potato, go ahead and fill up the plate because it's 'clean'.
They also got tarnished by being "white" carbs along with white rice and bread. The criticise of white rice/bread/pasta is incredibly weak (difference discussion) but lumping white potatoes in with them is dumb imo.
They are only lower GI when raw.Spuds are grand. Just not loads of spuds. Sweet potatoes are better as they as lower GI.
When baked starches in a sweet potato convert to sugars, and the GI increases to 94. Which is pretty high.0 -
