For fucks sake lads

Yeh I mean you can tailor it to your own needs. So basically you want to do something you perceive as low effort - so that might even be under 130bpms. So you can be on a treadmill or a bike & most of them will have the heart monitor built in - just hold the handles. Some will even have HRT programs. Its a really good way to build up your fitness because you’ll rarely be knackered - or you can buy a heart rate monitor that links to your phone. i.e when you start you might do - 10 minutes @ <130bpms with resistance @ 1 covering 2.5km after a few month the same effort rate may be on resistance level 4 and cover 5km etc

Have you ever tried heart rate training CT? It might be a bit of a life hack for you if you don’t like the high intensity stuff. It’s just as effective, you just do your cardio below >140bpm for a certain amount of time and what you achieve changes inside that window but the amount of effort remains low. Its a good way to build up fitness. You barely know you’re doing it 👍

Ah my PT has a setup and it’s class. Proper funny to try. You get something to grip like a “dynamite stick” or a ball/square piece of metal etc and it’s attached to a plate via a chain. Tend to go up in 2.5kgs till you can no longer lift it and it’s impossible to do without laughing. Progress is steady for a while and then one time you’ll find the plates are just stuck to the floor.

I’ve been to see the lady mags a few times and it’s always a decent day out, happy to see they’re being afforded the privilege of playing a match at SJP after a successful run out at Kingston Park attracted about 3,000 people. Under PIFs ownership the women’s team will be paid as professionals & there’s even talks regarding building them their own stadium. I’ve seen them play at the Stadium of Light & watched England at Riverside so it’s nice to see women’s football at a decent ground that isn’t surrounded by a total shithole. Should be a decent look out, cheap to get in and on a bank holiday. Wor Flags will also be making a display. Robbed from .Com

Funny as fuck is Fury gets sparked out tomorrow btw (either Fury)

Thankfully the PT I see doesn’t have Instagram as I’m not always at my best when I drop in. I only see him once a month like, mainly to ensure form is still strong & learn some new stuff/go for PBs. Have you ever done grip training? Very funny & humbling

I’ve gone for Big Joe. The transformation has been remarkable. Great effort from both the coaching staff & Joelinton. I never imagined he’d ever look like a £40m player but he really does in his new role. Most duels won in the league and he’s only been in the position since November.

Nightmare, you’ve been smashing it too! It’s tough to have time out and fall out of routine. I missed some time in January & had a couple of weeks out this month, getting back is a bastard and the DOMS last far longer than usual I had to reduce the weights a bit as well as a safety measure.

Yeh there’s not many cars in the gym tbh

Had a gift voucher for Nike so pulled the trigger on these stylish space boots.

I don’t know but it’s worrying this is what Russians consume on a daily basis.

Lunatics man.

“Everything is contrived & filmed for maximum PR” Its called the premier league mate

The technique on display from Bruno/Almiron from this angle is incredible.

Ah cheers! Yeh I’ve heard Converse said before but I’ve never found them comfortable! Also I’ve heard barefoot/socks mentioned but im not sure I’d enjoy that in the gym without feeling self conscious Looking at some Nike Metcon 7s, which look cool and might give me some more motivation despite the fact there’s a large part of me that knows a grown man with a massive velcro strap over some bright Orange trainers can’t look cool in any context.

Who’s spending money on football clubs these days for them to get a quick profitable sale? Besides They invested over £1bn into the initial purchase of Newcastle United. (Ashley £305m + Qatar $1bn settlement). The only way they’ll make a profit on that is if we become one of the biggest clubs in the world & you don’t get that accolade for finishing 7th 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve no doubt a club owned by an investment group worth £700bn + will be battling for 7th place at best and then the Saudis will just mysteriously leave and Staveley will be made look like a fraud. Apparently.

Especially that KLD kid. He didn’t actually do anything & is a minority shareholder A PR masterstroke from the Don & Charlie Fancypants™️.

Has anyone got any recommendations for weightlifting shoes? I’d started out reasonably light so could get away with trainers/runners however as my weights are going up it’s effecting my form/balance. Ive looked at specific weightlifting shoes and they are absolutely minging, proper space boots. However if that’s what’s required I’ll have a look
