*** The 2013 Gym Rats Thread ***

Been talking to Syla5 and it turns out I may have been making life a little harder on deadlifts. The 20kg plates which I use are 16.5" and Olympic plates are 17.71". Pure gym which I've joined the 25kg plates are 17" so I'll be using these from now on. That .5" unlock the gains!

Aye, I noticed this at Kiss. Only a couple of days left now :D

May look in to Vibrams, currently my cheapo Asda flat soles are working
 
Have a look over on the money saving expert forums, that's the sort of thing they'll normally have some advice on if it's possible.
 
Yeah figured it was a case of stuck in it. I remember my ex saying a year or so ago that she left and only had a 1 month notice period to do though. In fact it seems looking online some people only have 1 month, others have 3. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it!
 
Managed to get cramp in my left foot during squats this morning, not fun! Strength is still long gone, christmas festivities straight into a cut has done me no favours whatsoever :(. Epic loss of motivation lately.

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

The "retailer" can't be found on our store locator. All authorized Web retailers of Vibram FiveFingers® products must have a brick-and-mortar presence.

and

Discounts are advertised. "FiveFingers" products being sold at discounts of 20% to 50% or more are almost always counterfeit.

The ones I had were purchased in Westfield in Stratford, but it was a stand within the building - they are genuine though.
 
Do not lose motivation my friend, for you only need to look in to your heart to see your eternal desires. To be 1 ripped runt m8.

You want to be the very best, like no one ever was. To get shredded is your real test, to train hard is your cause.

You will travel across the gym, gripping far and wide. Each power stance to understand, the gains that are inside.

Protein-mon, it's you and me! I know it's my destiny!
Protein-mon, oh, you're my best food, in a world that gives us 'tude.
Protein-mon, a lift so true, our lats will pull us through.
You spot me and I'll spot you, Protein-mon, Gotta curl them all!

you can use the offical store locator here:
http://www.vibramfivefingers.it/find_us.aspx


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 :(

Sportspursuit are reputable discount sellers. I'd be surprised if they stocked fakes.

Tempted to buy myself a pair.

They do have a brick and mortar presence. 2 shops where i live and 1 of them in the hospital i work at. I agree they're not on the site locator but do you have to be in order to sell non fakes? According to the store locator there are only 3 places in Scotland which seems really low to me....and other shops ive been to and tried them on aren't listed either *shrug*

You might be right but i know the shop and its just not the sort of place i imagine selling knock offs

If i find out they're fakes someone in the shop will have sore ears!

It's because people in Scotland can't afford new shoes.

The only way to find out is to email vibram directly. Also you can try emailing the only UK distributor which is primalstyle and see what they say.

Let us know :)
 
I've always thought though, straps make it look like you're lifting something really heavy.

Belts make you look like you're old :p
 
I actually would love to spend some time with Ice to see if I can get some benefits from using a belt - as there's no point if you're not going to use it properly.
