What's the eccentric bit mean? I'm just doing 4 sets of naturally decreasing reps - I.e. as many as I can. When you say decrease the resistance, do you mean decrease the assistance (so make it heavier)? And try to do more each weak at a heavier weight? in a nutshell. Try to make the eccentic phase (negative/decline) as slow as possible then pull up and hold for a second at the top. Decreasing assistance every week will help you add strength and size ... as will adding reps. I can't recommend this excercise enough, particularly if you do them wide gripped - great for biceps and for giving you that v shaped back. If you're getting into pullups you really ought to be doing deadlifts, squats,bench, clean and press and bent over row all with free weights (the daddy excercises).... if you're not already

Gemmill, wait until you're on to unassisted wide gripped pull ups. one of the best excercises going. good work for trying them out. the key to going unassisted is to decrease the resistance and up the reps each week. after about 2-3 months you should have built up enough strength to go unassisted. then the challenge is to take at least 5 seconds in the eccentric phase. killer excercise and one that will lead to massive gains.

such a shame that we lost him for pretty much a whole season.

Where did I say I was ungratefull ??? I already said KK brought some of the best days (years even) of my NUFC following life, all I contend is that, it waas in the past and cannot help today. I've just turned the page is all. unlike others on here who insist on derailing every thread with the same tired old debate. we should think of the ashley v ffs debate as like the holocaust - never again!

supposed to be going to a wedding in ibiza, which we might extend for a week or two. won't be at all like the last time i went there mind as will have a baby with us by then. that pretty much rules out any long haul holidays this year too for the first time in a few years

i definitely had the gayest breakfast this morning - muesli with blueberries, flax and yoghurt. beat that gayers

That last over has it up. Could still go either way with swan in

Fuck sake. Prior gigging his wicket away

Have spent the afternoon watching England cruise on their way to change a third highest ever odi total set by India only start throwing away wickets after taking the power play. A tense end is looming. Good stuff.

100% accurate I reckon.

Christ, is it still going? I had my education in dance music and gurners down that place many moons ago. Doubt i could hack it either these days tbh.

It's a super grain. Loads of protein and essential omega fats in it. Has a nice nutty taste and goes well with cereal, porridge, soups and salad.

I fucking hate heathrow. See far more of the place than I'd like to. Journeys in and out tend to be delayed more often than not. Id stick with the train tbh

The mongs should be rounded up and disposed of in final solution type scenario. Seriously, no mercy. They make us look stupid and offer little to the board in the way of insight or humour.

Healthy living isn't gay renton. I allow myself treat days and booze but like most things, moderation is key and thats why CT is getting stick. he wants to drop fat but clearly his methods are flawed.
-
Yup. I mostly start the day with oats or muesli with no sugar and a tablespoon of flaxseed. Then eggs and wholemeal toast at the weekend

Film/moving picture show you most recently watched
Dr Gloom replied to Jimbo's topic in General Chat
Watched a dodgy torrent of true grit. Loved it but enjoyment was spoiled somewhat by not being able to understand a bloody word that jeff bridges was saying. Not sure how much that was down to his accent or the quality of the download. Made a mental note though to stop watching pirated movies and stick to blue rays -
blatant red card watching it back. nice for taylor that the crowd sung his name after he put us a man down but not sure he deserved it.

Not really a hissy fit....more a case of venting frustration at missing a great chance to jump to 7th. aka a hissy fit

why is he even playing? should be nowhere near the squad.

anyone got a link to a decent stream?

probably this or this owning a rothko would be cool but getting a house with walls big enough to hang one wouldn't be easy. i've got a print of this pic, which i love. wouldn't mind owning the original

What did you study/are you studying at College/University?
Dr Gloom replied to WordPlay's topic in General Chat
history but it was a bit too much like hard work so sacked it off after a semester to take up film studies, which suited me much better as it involved just 8 hours a week of lectures/seminars leaving plenty of time to go out and get mullered or stay at home and watch films while getting baked, or revising in other words. my kind of degree -
i'm 44th, not bad. aiming to break into the top 40 this year
