In my old gym the main person working there looked like an operation transformation candidate she was so overweight and so lazy I canceled my membership as she couldnt be bothered getting up on time to open in the mornings, thanks to her I missed a bunch of prework workouts.she wasnt sacked though....
.......she was the owner!

I dunno what's funnier about that video
the fact that he's about twice the size of everyone else
that I thought he was gonna drop her from overhead
the fact that I thought he was gonna eat that metrosexual presenter
or the fact that that blonde chick is now with child after coming within three feet of him!

I was just going to post that very same video

It's brilliant!! Oh bless, him, not only is Klokov a big manly man-beast but he can (sort of) dance too!! My crush is quickly developing into a full blown obsession. *swoon*

I got some training tips from Glenn Pendlay last night. In one teeny observation he was able to rectify why I get such tightness in my lower back when I jerk. Awksum.

Oh and watching John North snatch 145kg was more than a little impressive :eek:

I

my gym.

I always find the snatch an amazint lift to see executed, but after seening Hungarian weightlifter Janos Baranyai wreck his elbow in the Olympics, I honestly don't think I would have the ba**s to even attempt it

That's not going to happen! He was snatching close on 150kg and was likely getting paid for it. An 85kg lifter from Armenia did the same at the worlds last year but he had 200 overhead (power jerkin'). If you're sensible and use a brush handle or a light bar to start off with the only way you'll blow an elbow is if you have osteoporosis, arthritis and probably some other things. Basically it's the same as me worrying about the downsides of unfathomable wealth :P.

itsallaboutheL · 26-03-2011 12:07AM

Cookies and Cream anythign is muck.

Also i've decided nobody's allowed post Tom Martin Vids anymore.

He is quiet clearly cheating.

By being an alien.

I found the very same. It started off great but went downhill rapidly.
So I got a tub of Mint Choc flavour and mixed it in.
You'd get up in the middle of the night to drink it now.

yeah, defo agree with this.
I'd buy 2-3 tubs of whey of different flavours at a time just so I can vary the flavours cause you get sick of them all.

It;s also the reason I dont buy the 5kg bags anymore, takes waaaaay too long to get through them

Yeah, there were a few days there that it was 11 scoops of 30g of whey so 330g per day!

ah well, 3-4 scoops a day now max

squod · 26-03-2011 02:27AM

Molly · 26-03-2011 09:53AM

It's the ON one. I've only ever had vanilla whey before so it's a pleasant change
