Howdy all, I'm another member from the Warrior Training forums, having found that through Ross Training, and looking to add some more skills to my trainng. I've mostly been into bodyweight stuff, running, swimming and sandbags, but now looking to get strength on my side. I did the iCourse last year, but haven't really added barbells or kettlebells to my training yet. I'm currently favouring running at the moment to get me through Tough Guy next week, but will be leaving my Globo Gym soon to join a strength gym near work, so I'm hoping to use the daily workouts from here to start me on my way. I do have a couple of set goals, but my main goal in a training sense is overall functional fitness.

Hi Lewis,

And welcome!
Where abouts in Kent are you? And what's the strength gym you'll be training at?
I live near Sittingbourne - if you're anywhere in the neighbourhood we could maybe get together every now and again.
I'm always looking for a chance to get a bit of extra work done - god knows, I need it! :D
Drop me a line if you're nearby,
Moose

Moose - I live in Sevenoaks but work in Biggin Hill. The gym I'm joining isn't specifically a strength gym, but it's mostly squat cages, bench work and more barbell weights than I've got hairs on my head...

Sounds like a plan!!
I think we've been at this 'suggest a meet-up' point before :blush:
In the words of a grossly oversized multinational - we should 'just do it!'
And we should 'just do it' before my temporary body repairs wear off or I get too old (16 days and counting)... :D

So, where and when?

Sounds good. There's often meets with the guys from WT (a couple of us jumped in the English Channel the other week), so if you wana arrange something, as long as I'm not working or away I'll be able to make it.

Hey Lewis....
"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.

I'll drop you a PM mate and we'll sort it out. Chet is due a training trip down our way so we could drag him into it :D but i'm sure we can do some more regular stuff as we are so close.
