Bristol Aztecs - Combine!

Ok people, time for Morba to make a bloody fool of himself...

Yes ladies and germs, i'm going to be sick within 2 minutes of the drills and have no energy to show that i have some explosive strength afterwards, but providing my wifes friend buggers off earlier than 10am i'm going to give it a bloody good go!

Wish me luck!

I have no idea what this thread is about. What are you doing?

Nice one Morba... if you bump into some current Aztecs, Lee Richards and Charlie (Chaz) Wilson (which you certainly will with the positions you're likely to be trying out for), tell them Oddjob says "hi". I played with them a couple of times on the student GB team.

SS - American Football tryouts!

Nice one oddjob, will keep my eyes out.

From chatting to you on the forums you seem a lot like me, both in physique and in training attitude. I'm pretty sure you'll love American football. Having played both rugby and Amfoot, i much preferred balls out for 20 seconds then 40 seconds rest to the constant effort. Kind of like the difference between distance running and HIIT.

damn right, not tempted by rugby anymore, just wouldnt be able to do it!
but AF, definitely!
Also, im guessing they get cheap / free gym access (including some powerlifting challenge at Jane Crouch's gym), which would be a blimming good thing hehe

Oh I see. Awesome. Good luck mate

I would love to have a go at American Football (with the full kit and stuff)

I used to play it on a small scale at college with some mates, just 4 v 4 stuff but it was pretty brutal

I once caught a 40 yard odd pass with someone hot on my tail to get a touchdown. It was awesome

Do you play with someone called Stefan Williams?

Hmm, the temptation. I live beside UWE which is 2 miles away, but i'm so unfit at the minute, probably a goodreason to doit lol.

Im currently thinking its not worth me trying out.
Looks like the training is every sunday for about 4 hours from 11am / midday ish. I cant dedicate that time on a Sunday
