...and WTF with all this earphone/iPhone shit in gyms these days...gives me the farkin shits..get in there and focus on your training, not iTunes and Facebook

I have this little Sony Bluetooth receiver I clip on that wirelessly connects to my phone which I leave in my locker. I listen to music with closed back headphones while I train and I feel less distracted from all the grunters in the gym. I actually train better this way. To each his own.

C'mon mate, there was a time not too long ago, a time before Bluetooth, iPhones and iPods, a time when people trained hard, they even socialised while pumping Fe, people weren't distracted then...now everyone hides downcast behind their phones whilst cocooned in a personal aural landscape...what a terrible way to exercise and live.

All you need is whack on the virtuall reality glasses and you are someplace else.

Ease up champ. I remember that time. I agree about the iPhone/Facebook tossers. They just waste time. I actually socialise all day. I don't want to talk when I train.

Risto, if you're ever pinned down under your one rep max bench press, I hope there's at least one bloke in your gym that's not plugged into his iPhone and can hear your screams for help.

I'm sure we'll hear about it on Facebook and see the pics on Instagram

Train old school my friend, some things are just better that way...

I forgot to mention that I go to a friend's butcher shop after my sessions in the gym. I use his freezer room and punch the cattle carcasses until I break their ribs. Then I lift and chop massive logs. After that, some little guy shouts at me while I do inverted situps hanging from the ceiling.

... hang, maybe that's a movie I have seen.

Actually, I no longer bother with single rep stuff. Dare I say it, my muscles grow too fast and my suits get a little too tight too quickly. Plenty of reps to make sure I can still move like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

I'll be back in Thailand shortly. The muay thai training over there is great fun and you should see how pathetic the big lumpy guys usually are when they are trying to kick after 10 minutes of skipping. I'll never be as lean as the Thai fighters but I certainly would prefer lean to stocky from a health point of view.

I went to see a heart specialist and he advised my waist needs to be 96% of the circumference of my hips in order to be LESS of a candidate for heart disease. I'll get onto that soon, just 1 more maznik ....

I just chase a chicken around the backyard until I catch it. Here is a video of me with my personal trainer. I'm dressed in my best outfit that I usually save for weddings and christenings but wanted to look good here because I knew it would be going up on Youtube.

You specifically or people in general? How did they work that one out?

[Tomche Makedonche]

Personally I prefer eating my chicken and beef as opposed to chasing it or beating it up, but each to their own I suppose...

Got to say I'm with Phoenix on this one though, gym time is disconnect time for me and personally I find it one of the best ways to clear the pallet. Being honest, the most you will probably get from me during a workout is the occasional head nod acknowledging the existence of others or a few words of encouragement when spotting. As far as I'm concerned, I'm there to lift and nothing else.

[George S.]

According to the chicken or chick as they say on the video advertisement before the video .
she uses fat blaster and lost 40kg.Yeah pinching your gut for a weight to fat index is it.
I prefer to eat my chicken from the supermarket not chase it.

I've been playing with my rooster for years. No help unfortunately.

People in general. Men carrying wait around stomach are increasing their chances of heart disease. Tie that in with family heart disease history and soon enough you will be sucking down the statin drugs.

Lots of oily fish, salads and vegetables and olive oil [+exercise] and problems averted hopefully.

No, Phoenix was the one talking about group hugs in the showers and pats on the arse for getting the reps done.

""People in general. Men carrying wait around stomach are increasing their chances of heart disease. Tie that in with family heart disease history and soon enough you will be sucking down the statin drugs." Bing fat is not recommended or to overeat in moderation.
What people miss most is exercise.Yes change your diet but do some exercise to lose the weight.A personal trainer will help you lose weight.

...lol

not quite but still funny...

[George S.]

I thought a pat was for your back and not your arse unless you are into spanking that's another story ha ha.Hey Risto I hear you guys in SA have got a reptile problem snakes everywhere.Why don't you take up snake whacking and clean the back yard of snakes good idea for exercise.Have a snake whacking day.Perhaps you can have snake on the barbi I hear it tastes like chicken and no fat very lean meat.AND in answer to group hugs depending on how many snakes you whack
you can get a Macedonian hug similar to the Russian hug.

Risto, you also need to relax...genuine 'me time' is part of a holistic approach to good health
