He'd blatantly get a game ahead of Guthrie. If we sign him we will almost certainly start him most games - probably at the expense of a striker

He's obviously going to start him if he signs him. Instead of who? instead of Shola if Carroll is fit probably.

Good signing if it comes off. Where will he play though? He's too similar to Nolan to Play alongside him in midfield, unless pards is going go revert to playing a 5 man midfield with Nolan tucked behind the front man. Not sure if that's a smart move as we've looked good in a 442. Agree about the lack of pace. Still would be a good addition to the squad. Get swp in as well and it's a good looking window. Not many striking options but could be setting up to play more of a 433/451 formation

Working out is like a drug when you get into it.

High intensity interval training. It's an explosive form of cardio. You do intervals of going flat out then pausing to catch your breath. Way better way to burn calories than steady state cardio

yeah. that's a great core stability excercise When you do those compound movements you were on about, are you maxing out during your sets? I have no one to spot me on my bench so I struggle to max out. Struggling to gain but I need to build up core strength first and get good form on the compound exercises. yeah. loading the weights as heavy as you will can lift is the best thing for you. 4 sets of 7-8 is good but if you really want to put on size, try 5 sets of 5 reps. you can always do a drop set the end when you start to fatigue if you have no one to spot you

totally. i love spinning too. i have a session with a trainer one a week. last week she had me doing circuits of - 20 box steps, 10 squat jumps, 10 squat thrusts, 20 box jumps all with shuttle sprints inbetween. took 1 minute 30 the first time then had to do two more of the same circuit with just 30 second rest inbetween circuit. time was about 10 seconds slower each time. by the end of the third circuit i felt like i was going to puke up a lung.

Cheers (I fucking HATE cardio btw, much rather stick to free-weights ) good luck! stick with it and don't deprive yourself a couple of cheat meals. i usually eat what i want and have a few drinks over the weekend but try to stick to the work out plan and a healthy diet during the week. that works for me.

yeah. that's a great core stability excercise

hbo baby

Yeah I'm caning the Gym. Gone from never going, to going 3-4 times a week. Generally just go for a little over an hour. Jog there, do 20 minutes on the rowing machine, 10 minutes doing free-weights and then 15 minutes on the cross trainer another 5 minutes free-weights and then walk home. First time I went after Xmas I threw up on the way home is that workout designed by a personal trainer or gym instructor? if so, i'd recommend a rethink. what are your goals? fat loss or muscle gain? or a bit of both? I wouldn't say it was designed. Just the routine I've fallen into. I'm not really looking to lose weight, just tone up a bit. the best way tone up existing muscle is basically by cutting fat (not weight). i'd recommend a split session. for cardio, i do two sessions of high intensity interval training per week of around 45 mins each. (spinning/ treadmill/cross trainer/boxing...whatever works for you basically) plus two or three sessions a week of weight training, using free weights and performing compound excercises that work every muscle group in the body - you only really need to 6 excercises in one hour long session - deadlifts, squats, pull ups, bench press, shoulder press and bent over row. those 6 will hit every major muscle group in the body. maybe throw in a rotational core exercise for good measure i found it much more efficient to split training sessions into cardio and resistance. you'll have more energy to lift heavier weights if you don't burn out using all your energy doing cardio in the same session. and lifting weights is key. if you do endless cardio you'll burn muscle mass. the other key thing is nurition. don't starve yourself or you won't see results. make sure you eat lots of lean protein like chicken and fish and get your carbs from plenty of fresh fruits and veg instead of starchy man made carbs like bread and pasta. eat small portions but frequently. basically listen to your body. feed it when it's hungry and stop eating as soon as it's full. if you eat a large portion in one sitting, your body will only burn what it needs and store the rest as fat. snack throughout the day on small handfuls of nuts and dried fruit. neck a protein shake and a banana post workout. i pretty much guarantee if you follow that training plan and remember to eat sensibly for six weeks, you'll see massive changes. PS - sorry if it sounds like i'm preaching. it's just that i did loads of reading up on this before i started training years ago and like to share my experience because i spent years prior to that in the gym without ever getting the results i wanted.

september 11th you got right? explain please

i'm going to have to have a think about the other two

newcastle won't sign another player.

Jesus christ, that's vile. The things the Japs eat man. I mean seaweed???? Who come up with that idea. Imagine someone trying to sell seaweed at Whitley Bay. japanese noodle soup is the bollocks. i like seaweed too - the real stuff that is, not the deep fried cabbage you get at the chinese.

bizarre as this might sound, we simply can't afford to sell shola right now. not unless there's two strikers better than him incoming (unlikely)

definitely. and a nice long mane

i predict a rise of islamophobia in russia on the back of this

don't be a slave to the scales - they can be very misleading. instead get your body fat percentages checked at the gym every 6 weeks to check your progress in real terms and take photos of your gut int he mirror to help give you an idea of how your body composition is changign - it's a real motivator when you can visibly see it going. numbers on a scale don't mean shit, for the reasons already mentioned.

definitely the worst thing about going down under. bad losers, bad winners, bitter about being a former colony plus they're mostly annoyingly good looking, tanned and with great bodies.
