    I know I'm always saying I'd love women's weightlifting to get more exposure but I'm not sure this is quite what I meant...

    Also, reception in there was non existant.

    my phone was reduced to a camera.

    that said i got some good vids of the deadlifting.

    Some great lifting witnesses on the day.
    290kg DL by a guy 82.4kg BW.

    240kg DL by a 65 year old man.

    Vis and Podge pulling sick amounts.

    Watching some crap called 'fat and proud' these people are seriously disillusioned!

    Some girl who is a size 30 "You can be fat and healthy, I'm just as fit and healthy as thin people"

    Some guy "It's just like being born gay you can be born fat"

    Love. It. :rolleyes:

    Yeah. A couple of recent studies have shown that slightly overweight people actually live longer than people of 'healthy weight'. Although I take issue with the somewhat arbitrary boxes which we define as 'normal' 'obese' etc. The problem (the studies have been misused before... they were about mortality, not quality of life/health) is taking the idea that some 'overweight' people live longer than 'normal' weight people and then turning that into 'you can be overweight and just as healthy... doesn't matter how much overweight'. Then again, living and similar channels wouldn't have any programs if they didn't play with extremes :p

    Then again, if we stopped as a society looking down on folks who are overweight and labelling them as lazy slobs... or assuming that they're only fat because they don't want to loose weight then maybe there wouldn't be shows like this at all.

    Give it a rest Liam, this is exactly the kind of stuff we don't need here anymore, there's absolutely no need for it and theres a million other places you can adopt that kind of posting.

    Grand, I'm happy to have this out here, I'm all for transparency.

    I'm all for fun - I'll indulge in banter and slagging and I generally give as good as I get - and I get lots. But the banter has taken over so many threads and its created a hostile environment. In order for the internet to be fun does it have to be at someone else's expense? How do you think all the slagging appears to outsiders? This is, at the end of the day, meant to be a supportive and welcoming forum and for the last few weeks its been at the polar opposite end of that scales. You guys all know each other in RL, you're friends on fb, there's plenty of room for banter there, why is it so vital for it be here too?

    There was a private forum requested for this very reason which I went out of my way to organise and yet it now lies mostly unused. The Fitness Forum is subject to the very same rules as the rest of boards.ie and a lot of the stuff that goes on here simply wouldn't fly anywhere else. I know most of you guys in RL and I have a lot of time for you but my actions here are purely in the forum's interest, as are all the Fitness Mods.

    Yes, seriously. If anyone else had said it the same would be done, are we supposed to make special exceptions for people we know?
