*** The 2011 Gym Rats Thread ***

[DevilsAdvocate]

Strange day today. With the strikes going on I wasn't due in work until after 3, so decided to get my session done in the morning and enjoy the day.

I don't know if it's because I'm 'used' to training in the evenings but boy was it hard work. Squats were pretty comical to be honest, and extensions weren't much better, I just felt so stiff and nothing seemed to be helping! I don't know if it was because it was 'cooler' or what...it was so weird. Eventually I gave up and went shopping instead . Then I ate a large stuffed crust pizza all on my own in pizza hut oh well!

Also, while I was out I tried to find myself some tracksuit type bottoms (it feels too cold for shorts now) and It occurred to me it was almost impossible to find any that weren't elasticated around the ankles (I hate this) All these so called 'sports' shops don't appear to stock much for people wanting to participate in sports! it's all trendy 'sports' stuff!

Agreed! This is why I wear Superdry joggers, but I can understand why most people wouldn't

I have 2 pairs of these

Although mine are large which they seemed to have stopped selling, and were £8. Seriously though they are super comfy

This is what I mean by knees out - recorded just now for you showing my lovely legs (excuse the mess).

Note: I'm not sticking my ass out in this video as I just wanted to show knees.

Should be working now.

Hmmm, they look OK. Might try them, can't complain for that little money I guess!

Thanks

 

[Skillmister]

How tall are you? large are only just long enough for me at 6'

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

I'm about 5'10" at best.

It took me about 6 months to realise that when people say "knees over toes" they actually meant to the side, not in-front of.

To be fair...it's a valid point

EDIT: Chest soon, time to hammer it!

Then destroy my tri's

They look comfy. My last pair, my girlfriend picked me up from Primark. Might have to give those ones a go.

I can't eat a banana before I hit the gym. I just feel SO sick if I do.

Normally have it 30 mins before.

Just seems right
