I mostly like the freaks. Obi Vincent is too level headed for me. I like the extreme stuff. I was trying to get dissensus into Rich Piana about ten years ago.

Doesn't bear thinking about.
yeah I know what you mean. The lunacy is more entertaining. Obi Vincent is good, insane physique but he'll never fuck himself up completely like Ronnie Coleman.

ive got a pair of dumbbells but i need more plates cos i can lift them more than about 4 or 5 times in a row now and once you get to that point it gets tedious. i dont want to waste time. i do press ups sometimes. all at a bare minimum level. nothing like version and his 120 press ups dips and sit ups a day. i cant even conceive of a human doing his regime. also im naturally a very lean person. not a mighty mesomorph.

you literally posted your routine. you do three sets of 60 normal ones and 3 sets of 60 diamond ones. it stuck in my head cos of how inadequate it made me feel.

It's six sets of ten, not three sets of sixty.

Is that that fat guy who pretends he's a muscle-man?
When i was fit a few few years ago I used to do 60 press-ups in one go every day. Now I can barely do thirty. Tomorrow I am playing squash for the first time in ages as a kind of tentative first step back to fitness. I've set up a facebook group and got like eight or nine people interested and I booked two courts back to back tomorrow and said the first three to reply can play and we'll do like a round-robin type thing. Problem Is I don't think most of these people know how to play or have barely played so the first few times it's gonna be me teaching tnem the rules and stuff... not exactly demanding. I'm hoping though that it can be a regular thing, maybe whittle it down to the most keen and then every week I'll book it once or even twice so that everyone has a chance.
In fact, originally the idea was to play squash or padel (weird game they have here that seems to be between squash and tennis) but at the moment you can't hire rackets so we'll just do squash and everyone can use mine. I'm actually quite excited about this thing if I can get it going and rolling along properly every week but I think there will be some teething troubles. Especially cos the people in the group don't know each other mainly and I can tell for certain that some won't get on... in fact the three who are playing tomorrow may just be the worst to start with....
Sounds good Rich. I remember that time we played. I hope they are better than me! Never really managed to master much in the way of skilled sports, though got somewhere with martial arts I suppose. Currently struggling with double unders (skipping), handstands and the like. In an enjoyable way.

Ah yeah.... it's like anything, nobody is good on their first try. I'm hoping from the list of people some of them have played a bit... I think a few of them have played other sports and that will hope. In fact some play tennis although cos of the difference in the way you hit it I'm not sure that's advantage.... certainly once I played squash a bit I couldn't play tennis properly at all.

And this is that game padel that I want to play once they get back to hiring out rackets (I will buy one if I do like it but I will at least play it before that I think). Anyone ever played it or know anyone that has? When you see the crowd here it seems as though it must have a certain following.

Played that a few times yeah. It's nice because you don't have to be practiced to participate, you get the feel quickly, unlike tennis where you hit it miles off.
