Bloody hell 30lb of body armour.

What you doing Chris fighting coyote with your bare hands.

How does the saying go. Even your best gear is made by the cheapest bidder.

I work for a security company in Las Vegas and body armour is mandatory. Last night we drove back from our Los Angeles branch and you can hear the gunshots in the distance. The silver lining here is that California has recently been slapped over it's high capacity magazine ban. Ruled unconstitutional. 33 round stick mags all around!

This should be called the male menopause thread and it's triggered by you catching some 23 year old glaring at your woman's tits at the deli counter. Reaction ( I better get back in shape to stay in the game and lose this dad flab)

Oh really?

that's exactly what this doctor said on a video i watched earlier gnasher. very knowledgeable.

 

Oh i didnt see this cheers King....most of the shit ive learned about the body has come from just swapping thoughts and ideas amongst others but when you hear a proper doctor like this coming out with stuff it lets you know just how little you really know ....certainly knows his onions.

I've heard similar Gnash and while I'm curious about it I wouldn't know where to start. It would mean going and learning. Looking at some of the patrons of the yoga studios in my nearest city I'd have a hard time with that. Given the choice of listening to a dreadlocked 20 y/o talk about lotus positions or practice failure to stop drills at my range I'm locking and loading everytime! Range time is my yoga but I do meditate for complete balance!

It was only that i had a long time with nothing to do that i learned it,before that i had always scoffed at it as old womens stuff.....i used to be a gym owner and wouldnt of had it anywhere near my gym but now folk can come into one of the top boxing gyms in London on a Thursday and Friday for a Yoga session its a great benefit to fighters,bodybuilders or anyone i find it helps reset your momentum and sharpen your senses as well as the suppleness aspect.

I went and watched my mate compete in his first novice strongman comp a month ago.  Was really good to watch.  The deadlift part was 220kg for as many reps as possible in 60 seconds and a boy rattled out 13 reps.

220 for reps is quite a common event in the novice contests.I like watching the events which test a bit of fitness as opposed to which big fat c**t can pull the most.

Wasn't many fat folk tbh my mate was only 100kg on the day few fat folk but most were in shape. The sand bag carry was good as my mate had fast feet and decent lungssame with farmers walks just wasn't big enough to compete with the top guys. He placed 13 out of 25 not bad for the smallest guy there and his training is all done in his garage no coaching  etc

My mate Paul when he was competing.Not bad for unde 105kg.He did do reasonably well in the open weight categories too but couldnt compete with the top guys who were sometimes nearly double his weight but cleaned up in the 105 comps.Also competed in triathlons too.

I probably worded that wrongly i didnt even really mean age in terms of how many birthdays you,ve had i meant more in terms of inactivity....as in older chaps who have been inactive will not respond in the same way as older chaps who have pushed their bodies for many years.....up until a few months back i was somewhat out of action  for a year and a half and eating absolute crap but still didnt really lose that much,you dont see many retired fighters or footballers who are out of shape simply because your body adapts to the workload over years... ive known a lot of chaps in gyms reach a certain age,pack it in yet still maintain a decent physique the rest of their life.....Dont worry about the young lads with their disco muscles.

 

Your like a Belgian blue. Do you mind me asking what age you are? but if in that condition people don't mind saying and adding years. There proud to say they are 52 and ripped.You said it before on here but that was years ago. You've just ruined this thread for the other old guys that have to compete with that ya show off. Them boys were just looking for a horn so it would act as a brake and stop them rolling out of the bed and not compete with Ronnie colemans brother that's a boxer aswell. Well done for setting the bar on the midlife crisis thread so high when the guys were taking 1 step at at a time and step 1 was pissing without farting.
