    Saw a charming fellow today who left a wet patch behind his head on a bench so bad I could actually see drops running down it like condensation on a can. Walked away without so much as a glance back :/

    How, if you sweat that much, can you not religiously bring a towel with you and clean everything? Like, everything must be wet to the touch.

    I hate those dirty kunts. I'm not overly confrontational but that's something which hits my murder button and I'd confront the person ever time.

    Manky fooks.

    It's 387kg so if he didn't have a red face and/or fart PR, I'd be more surprised.

    I pulled 317.5kg in the U90kg class. Yeah it was a well run comp. Good standard of lifting and everything seemed to run smoothly on the day. ABS looks like a seriously good set up alright, very well equipped gym.

    Making sure there's good lifting music seems to be par for the course in ABS.

    Whats peoples general opinion on Rack pulls. Im trying to give my lower back a bit of a break for a few weeks so not deadlifting and doing these instead from about mid shin.
    I know people say block pulls has a better carry over to deadlifts so am i wasting my time doing rack pulls?
    I am quite ejoying them and while my numbers are slightly lower than my deadlift i am able to get more volume in without my back tiring. i am struggling to get tight on the initial pull tho. Anyone got any suggestions?

    So off topic thread.. Off training and ON a legal high :p

    Got neck cranked in Judo ten days ago and have been on Tramadol, Valium and Difene a week now and can hardly keep my eye's open for more than a few minutes at a time.

    Basically the neck crank has caused my upper back and neck to go into spasms, which is fooking agony :/

    Can't train, have cabin fever and too doped to even drive or cycle ~ and I'm just here on my pity pony and whinging :(

    His Facebook page has the warm ups from the start. They look like aggressive clean pulls at the start with the impressive violence of his hips.

    Basically tearing the bar a new one.

    I can't work.

    I tried to drive the other night, silly really because I was pretty doped from the meds.. But I'm sure it'll clear up soon enough, I'm usually good at recovery.

    My biggest problem is inactivity, I really hate it and can fall into a pit of depression pretty quickly if I'm out too long.

    Seen your post in the motorcycle forum, hope the bike isn't too bad man :/

    Fingers crossed its a quick recovery man - give Paul a shout in the Dublin Sports Clinic if you need help with the rehab the guy is a wizard.

    Bikes grand for the most part just cosmetics - drover her home the day after the crash and been commuting since so can't complain really

    Cheers. This is a regular enough injury for me. The problem with the injury is that it causes muscle spasms, and they're the real problem. The physio can't get to work until the spasm and swelling go, hence the Valium as a muscle relaxant.

    I've very heavy, strong back muscles so it'll take awhile.

    Regarding your bike, if that accident was the car drivers fault I'd recommend you getting a mechanic/engineer report on the bike (whether its economically viable for repair/write off).

    Some times you're best off getting them wrote off, repairing them ~ have it certified that its road worthy again by an engineer and put it back on the road as a streetfighter (and make €€€). Its completely legal and nothing under handed.

    If the other driver's at fault you can also claim for your helmet, cloves, boots, leathers etc ~ I'd almost certainly be looking at replacing the helmet after an off.
