Noticed this magazine today.... after going to see wolverine....

Had a flick through, Brian Hamill is one of the contributors.... Brian Vs A YMCA no mark about fit balls!!! Thought Brian came across really well and nailed the YMCA trainer to the wall, he put across some really good points in a short article :D

So I thought the mag started well so I thought I would continue with my purusing of it..... Then I got to the KB swing demo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I just chucked it back on the shelf.... Same old same old :angry:

Never mind.... and at £4.95 it is not cheap and is about as thick as a Now magazine.... if it was full of quality stuff it wouldn't be so bad but apart from Brian, it is s***e do not waste your money.
"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.

Thanks for the tip off- I'll save the £4.95 and put it towards a ticket to Wolverine- a better investment I take it?

marginally, wolverine wasn't that fantastic, and they cherry picked stuff from tall the comic and made a lot of crap up (i'm informed)
