They are loaded with amino acids. In fact the bio-availability of protein sources is based around the egg, with it being 100% every other natural food is lower. / Exactly this. theyre also very tasty and versatile. forgot that. | |||

Wiegieboard said: This is THE number one thing that lifting has done for me. Since I got over 90kg I never get bother. It's improved the quality of my life immensely. it can be a double edged sword, being as im usually the biggest bloke out in bumf**k mansfield, you usually get some little nob in the chippy queue doing the "ill show them, ill start on the biggest bloke here" thing, its just bloody annoying. | |||

| i inherited a bike from my uncle, so i do 15km in as quick a time as i can with the highest resistance i can stand. usually works out at about 45 mins or so. i do this on average 3 or 4 times a week, first thing in the morning, and feel a lot better when i stick to it. | |||

| leg curl in my old gym i was repping the stack for 20 odd reps current gym, im at about 2/3 for 5-8. the biggest problem with pin select machines is how heavy is each increment? they seem to work in a universal mystery gym unit that no ones allowed to know. that said, feels good to move that pin to the bottom each time! | |||

| Prodigy I don't fancy, but I'm a big Metallica can and I'm gay for iron maiden, so that does it for me! Gorjira will be awesome, as will mastodon, but it's the addition of chas and save that lock it in!! | |||

herman said:There was some guy on here that posted a 260kg (or perhaps more) smith machine bench press on here. A bodybuilder who was pondering entering bench comps. i remember that! i used to do the bent over rows in there terry style, i felt the actual excersize was good,in terms of the contraction, but i couldn't use enough weights what with the bar being locked. shoulder pressing with the bands in there i find pretty good, takes out the stability issues you can get with the bands and really hammers the triceps. | |||

| conditioner is the key, that and regularish combing! if i didnt comb mine it looked like crap, went all dense instead of long. you know youre winning at beard when you can see it without looking for it, the first time you get thats a satisfying moment. | |||
| » Whats more dangerous, crossfit or strongman? (Go to post) | 16-01-2014 @ 18:12 | ||
| any injury like this is tragic, no matter what the sport, and as previously stated, any sport has inherent risks. I know a guy who snapped his Achilles playing badminton ffs. that being said, from what ive seen and where ive trained, the number of enthusiastic amateurs doing crossfit without a clue what they're doing is much higher than the number of people doing strongman. i think this is more down to lack of kit in a lot of gyms for strongman, where as you can cater a lot of normal gym kit to a crossfit style program. | |||
