I would have thought most of you have already seen this.
Pretty crazy what the guy goes through to get that lean.

Its actually a pretty cool docu, i was skeptical and there is a lot in there i dont like but the honesty is rock. And for the record, no im not surprised at all at what he went through, that is what you HAVE to go through, at least drug free, hardly anyone here has any idea what it takes. This is why the more experienced guys get so upset with 5 minute Ab's programs, this requires more mental than it does physical. Out of 100 people, maybe 1 can do it, maybe.

Main reason is I can't find a store that sells them to try them on. I'm not willing to just chance that I can order a perfect fit online. I think they're pricey for what they actually are, they don't look like they will last very long?

I bought cheapo ebay replicas (£45 or so) and have been abusing them for a year and a half now. They only tore a bit because my washing machine went smart and put them through a full spin :rolleyes: but I'm still using them without issues.
 
Love my virbams - I abuse them, put them in the washing machine (without boiling them :p) and they're still going strong after 18months - I even go sprinting with them.

This link may not work, but it came up on my facebook page with a discount code for virbams: http://www.sportpursuit.com/deals/v...=vibram-30to35-M-1-1-1&utm_expid=48555729-71#

Chong, they're usually in big shopping malls where they have a stand or something like that.

When my doh fails I just switch to mixed, still getting used to mixed though, feels like it puts my body in a different position.

Also, I go underhand with my left hand rather than my right....even though I'm right handed :o I am cack handed at the dinner table though.

I'm the same, never put any thought into it though.
 
If I wasn't just about to get robbed by my new letting agent I'd be all over Vibrams at that price!
 
Love mine. Held up well, only washed them a few times, typically give them a spray with a bottle of rubbing alcohol (70%) if they start ponging. FREEZING this time of year though, need to get some Injinji socks. Normally buy size 8 shoes (manlet) but got the EU 40 size and they fit perfectly.

Considering buying some of the new water-resistant ones (the Lontras I think) as well for this time of year as any kind of rain and it's soaked-feet-city.
 
Great price on those Vibrams btw - I'm not a fan of the Classics at all though, the heel strap is poo. They're probably clearing them out because the El X are out soon which are their successor - I'm gonna get a pair of them.

Those of you that are CBLing or a style of I take it you all like coffee?

Nope, tea with a spot of milk for me.

Although I'm mixing in cbl with IF, seems to be working very well though! I'm able to keep my weight down while eating more 67.4kg this morning :D

Yeah the funny sizing is what puts me off buying online. Anyone know of a store in Manchester that sells these?

Hmm I reckon I could ignore the hunger, can't stand coffee.

You can take caffine in powder form, you can have tea, or decaf tea. The purpose of the coffee is to help stave off the hunger. Water is always a nice filler to

That site is aweomse if they are genuine!! any idea how to confirm if they are genuine or not as i was just about to drop £90 on a pair of the KSO's and could get them for £57.50 off that site. Is there a reason they are so cheap??

edit: they dont have my size :(

These are likely fakes if you look at the advice on the official website.
