To be fair, that's probably the most amusing thing about this whole debacle.

Which shoes do you have? I think Adidas has a few of the Powerlift 3s in a blueish colour.

There's a blue Nike Romaleo 2 colourway as well, might even be able to bag them at a bargain price with the Romaleo 3 being released.

29-01-2017 11:59am

I think i have power perfect ones
I'm buying a belt soon so shoes will have to wait a few months but that sounds handy - thanks!

Riddle me this...

If I put you in a field, or on a beach (ie; no walls, railings, doors, etc.), and gave you a set of dumbbells and a bench (adjustable), what exercises, using either (or neither) of those pieces of equipment could you use, to work on doing pull ups?

(post assumes you can't do pull-ups but want to improve)

Mr. CooL ICE · 30-01-2017 8:27pm

Balance upside down on your head on the bench and work the dumbbells in a pullup motion. I dunno?

Closest I can think of is doing one-arm DB rows and chest supported DB rear delt flyes. Won't help much with your pullups but it'll work roughly the same area.

30-01-2017 9:08pm

yeah struggling to think of any 'pulling' motion you can do without an actual bar/ledge/etc. to hold onto to pull up on.

Mr. CooL ICE · 30-01-2017 9:24pm

Get a shovel, dig a hole thats about a foot deeper than you are tall and narrower than the length of the shovel. Then get into the hole, put the shovel across the top and use it for pullups. You're welcome.

Mellor · 30-01-2017 10:44pm

Bent over rows, or chest supported rows would be even better imo

Ye but if he works till failure then he's stuck in the hole. What if it rains? If he's struggling with pull ups then surely a muscle-up to get out will be impossible. You didn't think this through

Cake Man · 30-01-2017 11:03pm

Finished a tub of pre-workout last week, it was strong enough with about 325mg of caffeine per scoop along with a few other things. Took about 3 months to go through it. How long of a break would you give it before going back on it (i.e. to lower the caffeine tolerance back down)? A month?

Inflatable arm bands on his ankles, obviously.

There's little point really. Caffeine tolerance only takes a few days.
3 days in one study (250mg x 3 per day) I seen. Given its a 3 month supply, you'll probably at the max for the majority of that time regardless. Im unsure how a non-daily dose affects tolerance build up though. DO you drink coffee/tea?

FWIW the same study found that it takes longer than a day, but less than 3 weeks for the tolerance to return to baseline. Could be as low as a few days.

Cheers for the info Mellor. I used to drink a cup of coffee a day but I'm kind of doing a little experiment to go a few weeks of basically no caffeine, then go back on the pre-workout to see how much of a difference it makes starting from scratch. Sometimes I find there's not much difference and a lot of it is just "in the head" so I want to just put it to the test. Might even run another little trial after that by taking a caffeine pill under the same conditions.

Mellor · 31-01-2017 2:42am

The studied I mentioned a study on coffee drinkers. As I was drinking a lot last year. 10-15 cups a week at a guess. (Actually coffees, not the buckets of milk they serve in the likes of Costa/Starbucks and everywhere I went in Ireland)

They had people abstain for 3 weeks. Before going back on the caffeine. Strong caffine reactions, for the first days, but levelled off after day 3. That doesn't mean that there no effect after 3 days, just that the effects are stable and will be the same after 30 days of caffeine. Which explains why I have 2+ coffees a day without issue. But people who've only ever had the odd random coffee go on likes it's meth, and wonder how you can ever sleep 12 hours later.

Mellor just on the coffee drinking.

I recently had a full medical, all went well except for stage one hypertension. I ticked all the boxes in terms of good diet, low sodium, non smoker, moderate drinker and plenty of exercise but where I fell down was coffee intake.

I was easily having five expresso's a day, I fecking love my coffee.

Not wanting to completely crash I started to reduce my coffee over a seven day period and my BP is steadily come back to normal as my coffee intake was reduced.

I'm down to an expresso in the morning and one in the afternoon (pre-training) and feel so much better for it.

My resting heart rate was low anyway and hasn't changed all that much, but I'm surprised at how rapidly my stage one hypertension dropped to 'pre-hypertension and back to normal this morning. I'll continue to monitor it in my training log for awhile.

Mellor · 03-02-2017 11:47am

I was only up to about 3 a day. I'll have to go through that study again some time. From memory the applicants were on about 5 cups worth. The just of that that the effects on blood pressure drop gradually reduce over he first 3 day, and then stablize. That's all tolerane takes. But it still has an effect on BP. say for example, +30% on day 1, buy drops to +10% beyond day 3 (numbers made up).
The effects last a few hours so at 5 a day I'd say you were constantly running a raised BP.

Can't beat an espresso before 9am rolling sessions.

I'm not an espresso drinker but how long would the effects of an espresso last in a workout?

I've never noticed it wearing off halfway through or anything. But it's not like I'm climbing the walls buzzing or anything either

caviardreams · 04-02-2017 11:31am

I think there is about 80mg or so of caffeine in a single espresso shot (depends on the beans etc.) which is not actually a massive amount - a lot of pre workouts/monster etc. might have 200-300mg of caffeine.

So your saying I should drink a mug of espresso

Mellor · 04-02-2017 12:11pm

I think the typical espresso is 100mg here.
If I really want a coffee preworkout. I'll get an affogato. Double shot of espresso over a scoop of ice cream.

Ah, but he's using straps. Therefore it doesn't count.

This is what I keep telling myself

There's a nice bit of training gear in Lidl's today.

The Coolock branch is stocked full (at 3 o'clock today) of suspension trainers, kettlebells (6-14kg), clothes, supplements (yuk)

Tea-a-Maria · 07-02-2017 11:18pm

Had a crack at homemade protein bites today and they turned out very tasty if I do say so. A little messy to eat mind.They have bananas, whey protein, porridge oats, peanut butter and chia seeds in them. Nyom.

Got the recipe from Derval O'Rourke's cookbook, which is I would highly recommend if anyone wants ideas for healthy meals. The recipes are simple and a lot of them have common ingredients so you're not buying a random jar of something for a teaspoon for one recipe and then throwing the rest out!

MightyMandarin · 08-02-2017 11:46am

Clarence now coaches Omar Isuf.

Hopefully he gets loads of subs now, he's doing it for free and all.

Once he mentioned he was going to be coached by a wizard a few weeks back, everyone knew it would be Clarence.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, that lad's gonna get an awful back injury and I bet there'll be people around him blaming it on 'de weightz' instead of the god-awful instruction he's getting.

Also, lol at the lad saying 'Straight back the whole time now'. His back is rounded before he even lifts it off the floor.

Toshiki Yamamoto (weightlifter but has done powerlifting meets and would do well at a bodybuilding competition) showing off his snatch technique. The first two reps are actually identical in bar path. Absolutely insane. The years he must've spent practising rep after rep pays off eventually.

Par for the course with crossfit.

If I looked like that doing deadlifts in my gym I know of one trainer who would kill me even though I'm not a client of his.

Sweet mother of Jesus. CJ Cummings just front squatted 230. That's right a 16year old who weighs about 70kg just front squatted well over 3xbw.

What. The. ****.

Mr. CooL ICE · 11-02-2017 3:34pm

Was that not 210?

Cos, well, 210 isn't impressive at all, like...
