@Fagan ODowd , do you think waterford will make any changes in the half forward line for the replay on sunday week?
Did the final bit of damage to my discs on the last lift of the session a few years ago, kid. Combination of loss of concentration and poor technique anyway. Your back is fucked I’d say-doubt you will even be able to have kids now. Come join me on the TRX and leave the weights for the more able-bodied people.
You awful cunt. I am still young and indestructible. I will be back better and sexier before long. I’ll show you you you horrible cripple.
my post season -> pre season training continues to gather momentum

threadmill - 4.5km - 20mins

Half decent video first up in google there[/QUOTE]
Its still kinda rubbing off the throat area slightly… but yeah, form looks good.
It is away from the body it should be, not so much the height if bar relevant to Adam’s apple.
If you stand up straight and just feel your Adam’s apple and then run your hand along shoulder and chest, it’s 60/70mm away at least.
Pushing the elbows up on accent helps form as well. Like it says in the video, it maintains thorasic extension.
Reading the Joe Manganiello book “Evolution” and started the suggested programme this week
Smacks of overtraining - 6 days on and 1 day off and later on there are double sessions but I like the high volume lower weight supersets he advocates. His basic premise is people don’t work with required level of intensity and prefer to be seen to move big weights in a gym
Day 1 was
Dynamic Warm Up
Circuit One
Superset
Bench Press
Lat Pulldown
7 sets - 20, 16, 14, 12, 10, 5, 16 reps
Circuit Two
Superset
Incline Press
One Arm Row
4 sets of 12 reps
Circuit Three
Superset
Pec Dec
Low Cable Row
4 sets of 12 reps

Nothing wrong with it, but that’s just body building, not strength training.
Different strokes for different folks, but that looks like something that will build muscle most people wouldn’t be able to carry.
A good guide would be to find out your bone density or weight. Ideally every KG of bone can carry 5KG of muscle. Lots of people go above this, way above it, but it can lead to injuries and poor joint health.
Over a short period of time and if you are the skinny type it probably would not be an issue.

Cheers - it is a six week programme so intention is to give it a go to build muscle - the superset stuff suits me
Not sure how much muscle I could add in six weeks but his theory is you look better training like this than training with heavier weights for lower reps
Have always wanted to try this sort of body building programme and this one ties in with the way I tend to train anyway
I am expecting to look like a bag of walnuts in six weeks

You will if you are reasonably lean already. You’ll have to eat well and you’ll have to do plenty mobility & flexibility work.
I would do 2 weeks on 1 week active rest. That would be to do the program week 3 as well but only do 40-50% volume.
The 4 minute tabata is the motherfucking king of efficient training for the busy modern man.
Some reasonable 1rm improvements for me recently, it’s hard to put my finger on it as I only do any of them once a week. I am now doing one of the football sessions completely myself with the team and it’s since I started that the strength has shot up. Now I did lower the overall volume so it may be that. But it goes against general thinking. Usually playing acyclic sports means a drop in strength.
I’m 75 KG right now with a bit of a pouch, if I watched the diet a bit more carefully I’d say I’d be 72/73 easy enough. 1RM calculated using Brzycki formula
Bench 100 x 3 = 108 1RM
Front Squat 100 x 5 = 114 1RM
Bent over row 80 x 1 = 80 1RM
RDL 110 x 5 = 125 1RM
thinking of buying a rowing machine for the house. any thoughts? is there any half decent bargain price ones ?
Having rowed a small bit I wouldn’t advise it. You’d probably use it wrong (no offence, just no one seems to get technique right on it), they take up a lot of space, they are cunts of things, and finally anything other than a concept II is probably a heap of shite.

Well worth the read and study. Don’t skip to the programs. Read the basis for it all. One of the great and original sports scientists.
The house will hardly use it much.
But I think it’s a good form of non impact training. And I’d be wary of anything that’s not concept. Which means quite expensive.
Give a bit more info on this KP. what exercises do you do as part of it? How often do you do it? Why do you reckon it’s so good?
