Hey guys

For those who don't know, the name's Pete, ignore the daft monikor (it's an old nickname from when I was a fat bastard) I used to post on here until about last summer and I figured i'd start again.

I know a few of the guys already and have trained with a couple of you before

I train in my garage and garden and out of xfit manchester, focusing mainly on o lifting with short and heavy WOD's (no 5k's, no chippers) and play a little judo once or twice a week.

Yeah, good mate. Still on the O lift thing but don't really follow much of a program, just nick things from here and there.

My landlord became a Dad and moved out, so I got the missus to move in. So I now have a much improved garage gym

Still doing the IF aswell so I'll record that on my trog or maybe start up the food diary again. I guess we'll see.

How's things on here? Looks busy

Welcome back mate -was wondering where you'd got to the other day.

Maximise your training and minimise the bullshit.

hi Pete.

"The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"

Charlie Brooker & Chris Morris.

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"

Here endeth the lesson.
