What sort of time you gunning for in C2S Glenn?

There's a good chance I will have a game the day of C2S.

If you run fast you can do both, I reckon you are just looking for an out

Fark, you guys are machines. I'll be rapt if I crack 80, and satisfied with under 90.

Yeah it's all relative dude, I did 67 last time and took it easy and started in a slow group, reckon I can do it. My injury is fucking me over though

I play at Rushcutters Bay so I could always detour for 90 mins.

Either way I'll be in Bondi afterwards for S&F beers.

Oh I thought you were playing in the epl

yoke: 2x205, 2x245, 2x285. then did a static hold at 325 for 15sec. happy with today, was my best run at 285 so far and the lighter ones are starting to get faster
truck pulls - can't remember what weight we worked up to
log press @ 62kg
trap bar deadlifts - worked up to 200-210kg (we couldn't remember how much the bar weighs)

Wow man, that sounds awesome!

yeah i've been really enjoying it. stoked with progress as not long ago i could barely move 205. long sessions though


now it's time to get blazed and order pizza

Beat Tapouts burpee score

No likes

Tough school in here there days

i dont know enough about crossfit to be able to determine if something is considered an achievement or not.

Go and do 100 burpees and tell me if it's an achievement or not

Do 100 burps & try not to spew. That would be an achievement.

10 box jumps 25inch
10 wall balls (9kg)
20 air squats
30m 25kg plate carry

10 rounds - 21:50.

you'd probably do that in less than 15 brad.

there there, brad. i thought we already covered that everyone just skims over your posts?

Spoiler:

Fucked my knee and we lost 4-0. Feels bad man.

looks good I'll try it this week

23km weekly long run @ 6:52 min/km - brutal today, lots of boozing & not enough sleep, I backed off the pace a touch, but the last 5 clicks were definitely hard work. Ah well, its all miles on the board.

Nearly at the 3 hour mark. Nice work

111 reps - that sucked

Faark, well done, alas this will not stand, i'll have a crack during the week.

Futbol x 90 mins

3 epic saves and 3 points. Leaveityeah.

Must be really tiring standing in the goal square all day ^

It's not Hockey, you basically play as a sweeper.

thanks, I can use to determine just how ridiculously far I am from functional fitness under mortal domains.

You're doing it wrong.

10km @ 5:53/km

Sumo Deadlifts:

Lunchtime

1200m run
63 KB swings, 24kg
36 pullups
800m run
42 KB swings
24 pullups
400m run
21 KB swings
12 pullups

22:45

Seated Row @ 15kg - 3 x 8

Failed last set of bench just felt really heavy.
Failed last rep of deads, hands were uber sweaty, legs like jelly. Should probably get me some gloves.
Chins were super easy.
Dips were super hard.
Doubled weight on squats.
Increased seated row by 5kg.
Random session was random.

2010 games?

Yep

is that good brad, do we have to like that one?

tobi - nice work on the squats! is that just from getting more comfortable with the technique now?
(and yeah, what SM said - go for chalk, not gloves. or even try liquid chalk stuff if you desperately dont want to go for blocks of it)

Gloves are good.

I use gloves for deads

Hrmm interesting question.

I guess I'm starting to get a bit more comfortable with them, legs aren't hurting as much after etc.
The reason for increasing the weight is a little more random.

I was using one of these as my 5kg 'bar'

Spoiler:

But I couldn't find one in the virgins that went higher than 5kg, there was a 6kg one kicking around once but I couldn't be arsed searching for it each session. So I've 'upgraded' to these

Spoiler:

Which start at 10kg. Once I get used to the weight I'll keep on upping it by 2.5kg until I get to 20kg and I'll transfer over to the normal squat rack.

3x5x80kg squats
3x5x40kg press
3x8 chins
3x15 situps
tabata on the rowing machine... nearly spewed.. felt good

Gloves.

The end.

If you got callouses, you don't get blisters, problem solved.

Not true brah, try doing a tonne of kettlebell work or pullups or something, blisters no matter what

my callouses make it look like i'm not some fgt desk jockey... then they look at my hair and all credibility is lost

Lifting weights has always been about the muscle embiggening for me. I didn't realise having rough bits of skin on your hand was a thing people strive for.

Even worse.

I like the rugged demeanour of a manual worker with the hands of a homosexual violinist / shop window dresser.

Isn't it a bit of a contradiction putting the effort into looking more masculine while looking like a weiner while doing it?

Ever seen a woman getting ready to go out? It's not pretty.



I had a point, but it made more sense in my head.
