the DOOM WORKOUT

[new05002]

dont make me deadlift you Skip

[samzadgan]

In that spirit here you go

fuck...well done man.

Now...i'm not in cross fit...never got a chance to give it go really. But last week I signed up to do a London to Brighton Night-Ride...we start in london at 11pm and head to Brighton which is about 100km of cycling...I've also decided/committed to do it on my fixie.

This week...I've started to train, which means i've extended my ride to work in the mornings and am now doing about 20km a day...today was the second day in, and i was really feeling the pain my legs and it was raining, which made it worse...but tracking ok so far...i might start taking pictures of my legs to see the progress in muscle definition, could be interesting.

thanks!

Still got lots to do haha.

[samzadgan]

haha yeah, magic month

luis pic is really good at showing how weight affects the face, check out that jawline that pops up.

so true...when you see results on the face, you know you've done well.

Holy shit Nick and Louis, nice work boys!! Amazing both of you.

Spent last week in London. Touring Paris and Belgium this week. Finally got my hands on a decent beer. Shit tons of walking and stairs which is good.

im so glad I roll my ITB often enough that it no longer hurts like that

I'd give up my middle son over my foam roller. Couldn't live without it...especially when cycling.

So I went to the doctor yesterday and BAM! Upper respiratory infection!

I'm on prescription strength mucinex and a Z-pack so no lifting until next week.

On the plus side I have no appetite so my cut is going to be MUCH easier for the next few days.

yo samz, want to experience true pain? (foam) roll the side of your legs with a foam roller (or a tennis ball, if you manage that you could star in the next hellraiser movie as pinhead). if in a pinch you can use a wine-bottle or something like that.

you're gonna need it with all that cycling.

pain and pleasure, indivisible - aka Self-myofascial release

thanks for the tip...i looked it up on youtube...looks like something i need to do.

I have one of these. I swear by it.

So I've been thinking about going back and doing Oly-style lifting (haven't done it since I was playing rugby) and while looking up routine ideas I spotted this video on the accessory workouts the Chinese do. Seeing as they're whooping some ass in the Oly lifting circuit I thought it would be some interesting insight:

Must be worth something, since Lu just broke the snatch world record back in October.

As for the foam roller, if you're on a tight budget I've noticed that a baseball or lacrosse ball also works wonders and can be found for cheap.
