Spurlock's Gym

No you won't.

You'll shave your balls, roll your missus over and then smoke a fat one.

Same as every weekend.

 

She sounds like fun does Harissa...drop her my digits fam

 

It was going so well until you mentioned cous cous... what is that stuff? It's like if you got that yellow sponge from your sofa and put it in a nutri-bullet.

I love Moroccan food though apart from that crap.

Cook it in vegetable or chicken stock. Makes a big difference. Otherwise it is bland.

 

It's the texture, no can do, sorry... all the more for you though Stan

 

Fair enough.

I don't like some puréed foods because of the texture.

My baby food days are behind me.

When I see mums eat baby food to encourage their kids to try some it makes me want to hurl Wayne's World style.

 

Just back from a 10 mile offroad cycle. Coast path, Moorland and rocky descents.

 

Do some Yoga mate. I had terrible back / leg pain from Sciatica / nerve impingement. You don't have to try and get your legs behind your head or levitate like a Guru, but some gentle stretching works wonders.

 

Yep, tonight.

Once a week definitely, twice often!!

 

Yeh, I know I should do that. Our doctor friend is insistent that I should do Pilates. Might be a good way to get a bit of strange

 

Exactly Cook in chicken stock add a few cooked chick peas some dried fruit and some chopped peppers....very tasty and very nutritious.

 

Do it. Your body will thank you. A really easy stretch is to lie on your back, bring your knees to your chest, grab your knees and gently roll from side to side. That should help give you some relief from the sciatic pain. Google some stretches to help Sciatia, there are lots of easy ones that give good relief.

 

Go to your room... now... you're grounded.

 

It's called jewelled cous cous I think.

With a decent stock and some chopped bits and pieces it's nice. I only like a bit though, you couldn't have a plate full like with rice or pasta.

Or could you? Maybe you love it.

 

If you add press ups to that that's pretty much all you need to do.

I've not done dips or pull ups for years though. Partially as Spurlock says, I don't trust myself to not go to the gym and struggle with them on full view, and partially because I don't trust my elbows. I get tennis elbow periodically in my right arm and I'd be wary of it buckling.

I used to be able to bang out the dips though, cracking bit of exercise.

Still do deadlifts and squats on a weekly basis.

 

Leg work is limited to running on a track or cross trainer at the gym for me - knees are both ****ed from Rugby.

 

Sounds nice.

I'm sitting in an office

 

It catches us all, I wish I could have played on for longer at the standard I was at but then when I was playing 5 s side I was still enjoying it, when I had to stop all together it pissed me off but I was lucky that my oldest then went through all the academy stuff at Swans and Cardiff and with a local academy where I was able to follow him so it eased the pain of not playing myself.

 

Pullups are probably my single favourite exercise, the best way to avoid the embarrassment is an isometric pull up. That way, if you fail on your first, it looks like it's exactly what you set out to do.

Just means you'll have to do a few more, cos nobody does just one iso then walks off.
