The Jimbo Slice memorial thread, feat Nate Dogg - The new Off Topic thread

One thing that never ceases to amaze me with the gym is the sheer craziness of some people.
The other day, a women was using calf raise machine that was loaded to the hilt with plates. Tried to do a few reps, struggled immediately and blew her ankle. I don't know if it was a broken bone, or a torn ligament. I'd guess it was one or the other though. Stupid behaviour leads to accidents, the gym is no acceptation.
Then her lawyer contact the gym to let them know she is sueing them for damages. WTF?

I'm sorry she was hurt of course. But you you try to lift a weight that's too heavy for you, and you hurt yourself, that's your fault imo.

I would have assumed the main danger is that the bar is being pulled back down much faster than normal, so you have less time to get under the bar regardless of weight

That’s gonna increasing chances of missing too. And contributes to the bar being slingshotted at your legs. I’m kinda curious what the outcome was.

Reminds me of this doozy from a few years back

Full version for anyone that could be bothered here

Made my own protein Nutella-style spread last night using chocolate whey, cocoa powder, peanut butter and water. Tastes nice. More chocolatey and less sweet than Nutella. But looks wise, it resembles Bovril and I now sort of don't trust it.

Will try vary it a bit in future by using less water/more peanut butter for texture. Maybe a different nut butter. And might use hot chocolate powder instead of cocoa for a sweeter flavour.

Most hot chocolate powder is just sugar & cocoa, so do not go buying it if you already have the cocoa. Put sugar in a good blender to powder it up, or as you are using water you could just heat it up to make a syrup and then let it cool.

Mr. CooL ICE

Yeah, I wouldn't buy it for this alone. Have some at the back of the press from baking. The chocolate whey I have is manky (GNC gold) so was looking for some way of consuming it.

But I also have golden syrup in the press so yay, even less work the next time.

I got my 20 euro pack of fulfil peanut butter bars

The strawberry and vanilla ones must be gack. The canteen at work had a 2-for-1 deal on Fulfil bars and loads of them left.
Spar have them for €2 a pop now as well.

I think they have stopped making these ones now, and they have stopped the lemon ones too.

I definitely think the latest few are the nicest, but the earliest ones use stevia instead of maltitol so it's a trade off I guess!

Lad in the gym last night was doing deadlifts with his friend in the rack beside me.

Says to his friend that this grip is going...was about root in my bag to dog out liquid chalk but he'd apparently found the solution in the meantime: poured a little water from his bottle onto his hands and rubbed them together.

Magic.

Racked it before the command.

I was doing some kettlebell carries the other day, latest fixation of mine, and I began wondering.

what's the world record Press/Waiter's carry?, and
what's the heaviest kettlebell in existence? Both comp and non comp I guess

silverharp

I caught a video to do a 30 sitting squat challenge to increase squat flexibility, basically get into a sitting squat hold on to something if you need to, first day 1 min, second day 2min...30th day 30 min, it doesn't have to be continuous.
first 2 days I had to hold on to something , did 3rd day in the middle of a gym session and didn't have to hold on to anything and yesterday at home half in half so obviously a little easier if you are warmed up.

Anyone any experience with some of the vegan protein powders? Or is it plant based protein powders now

. Looking at trying t introduce a vegan day into my week and would like this to supplement the diet that day. Also plan on checking out that Harry Pot... Clarence* vegan diet video posted here a while back to get some suggestions.

I'll probably be putting an order through with myproteinpowder today so any tips appreciated in terms of aminos, mixablity and taste. The more it feels like whey the better.

Also interested in this, trying to eat more plant based and vegetarian, cutting down on dairy also, that said I have a tonne of whey to go through. My compromise here is that I'm going to start taking it with soy/almond/oat milk, I've also bought myproteins vegan protein bars to have in the drawer at work - only 12g protein per bar so not as good as fulfil but they're tasty out.

Soya protein powder from bulkpowders is grand. I also made a quiche recently with a scoop of it mixed in with the eggs and soya cream

Also if you can get to a giant tesco i can recommend the alpro soya high protein yogurt

Actually, it's funny you mention Tesco - I went there yesterday and they'd a tonne of options for milks, yogurts, cheese alternatives etc. thought it was pretty cool how much they catered to non-dairy/vegan

I stocked up on different beans, pasta and veg mainly but I reckon I'll try do my shopping in tesco going forward, they seem better for having individual, non plastic wrapped veg than Aldi imo

I tried the chocolate PhD vegan protein bar (https://www.phd.com/phd-smart-bar-plant-12x64g) not because I care about vegan but because it's lactose free and also free of polyol sweeteners, and it's not too bad. 20g of protein per bar which is good.

Have been using the vegan protein powder from bulkpowders with peanut butter and oatly milk for the last couple of months. No complains and I feel better for reducing dairy intake.

Our latest playground is now open at Hudson Park, Glasthule. Complete with callisthenic gym and natural play trail. Something to get out to and enjoy this Autumn weekend!

looks like they have a climbing rope, that won't last long.

I'd really love if they put something like this in my business park - would be great to get an outdoor run and some work done on lunch break

Well actually........apart from the mask I do the same thing in the gym. Knee rehab. Basically builds your balance and core.

It starts with simply one legged stands on a body ball, then you add variations to try to throw your balance off. Why not throw in a kettle bell clean and press?

I don’t get the mask though.

Looks like one of those oxygen restrictors. Meant to simulate altitude training or something.

That’s the claim. But it’s likely complete nonsense though.
The air you are getting through it has just as much oxygen as normal. Unlike the low oxygen air at altitude that causes RBC adaption.

I kind of get the rationale. The mask makes me think its just an exercise in nonsense.

Was an odd guy in Raw I saw with one of those masks training for the zombie apocalypse. Tackling and wrestling punch bags. Cuckoo.
