Does anyone else go to the gym much? I used to compete for England at Taekwon-do, then Wales lol when i was at uni (don't ask) then had reconstructive surgery on my shoulder last summer and now haven't dane any sport for nearly 2years...:eek:

Now I'm living in Coventry a mate is fitness manager at VirginActive in Shirley, so i get free membership and he's got me on a traning program :D Trained tonight and nearly killed me, but he wants me to go in at 6.30am tomorrow :eek: :cry: :wtf: I want to the best fighter at -71kg so what needs to be done has to be.

Anyone else share this passion and desire? Or... am I just a tw@t?? lol

I try and get to the gym 3 times a week. I only do it for fitness though, split my time between c.v and weights. There is a chance I might be doing the london marathon next year though so going to have to get much more running in for that.

And yes, you do need your head testing, 4:44am is way too early, lol.

Well, my fitness will be sh!t hot once my core stability and strength is ont he mend! I used to be a county runner back in the day lol X-Countrys and steeple chase. when i was 16 i ran the 1500m in 4.20min, but gave all that up to further my taekwon-do. C'est la vie...

I'm 68kg at the mo and 6'1", so not a fatty, but need to be about 70ish kg. My coach recons i'll be leg pressing 400kg and dead liftng 120-150kg lol You can only laugh when someone says that.

Feeling good even after the early start, i'll keep the coffee in :)

core stability

What do you think you are, Chernobyl?????????


I mashed my left knee whilst removing a mk3 escort from this world. after surgery & 8 weeks of crutches, I went to the work gym, this 12 year old lad created a special program to get me fitter.

the first thing he tried to get me to do was sit on that bench thing with the leg weights on..... I flatly refused.... He told me that he was an expert & I should do it. I told him that he was bloody incompetent & my knee had just been screwed back together & the surgeon had banned me from even jogging on it or carrying heavy objects, so trying to explode it with 50kg of iron was possibly the worst thing I could do. Oh, & could he cancel my subscription & get me an official complaint form which I filled in on the spot.

I have since only been in gyms to look at women.

haha... He was 12! My mate is a professional personal trainer, and my op was back in july, had the cartalage in my right shoulder re-attached to the joint with nylon anchors. Javelin is a b*****d lol

You cant beat a good bit of eye candy at the gym though lol

Chest and arms are sore this morning :(
