Synny667 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have met mark Cavendish and Paul Sherwin, been up close to Jens voight, thor hushavd, George hincappie just to name a few back when my home state had a small cycling race. Cavendish seemed annoyed to be bothered.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 thats so cool, jens voigt is a legend! just having a viking name like thor makes you cool also i dont like cavendish, hes good at what he does but i get the impression hes arrogant like you found out sports people like that annoy me he wouldnt be earning vast sums of money were it not for the fans!

Synny667 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I was highly impressed with Paul Sherwin. He had an air of calm cool and collected about him. Yeah Cavendish left the tour after losing a stage to Thor claiming he had the flu but was running around town like it was nothing. I miss having the race here. Was so much fun. So many big names for such a small race. The underestimated the rolling hills around here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Voigt is my favourite cyclist, I have one of the European one day races where him and Vino get off the front and ride solo for 130km and manage to keep away. Incredible !! Can't remember which one, was either Het Volk or the Fleche Wallone. Great avi !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegan_rossco Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 you machine! 147 crunches!? that's incredible were they bat style? it's a breath of fresh air to see high reps and supersets this frequent, I like it mate hows your chest feeling after the workout?

mrbear666 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 haha defo not bat style, i cant do over 10 like that, its hard to go to failure because i have to do a sit up to get down...... cuz im hooked by my feet on a chin up bar so its kinda dogy incase i get stuck haha they were jus normal ones on the floor with my feet up i love the feeling of higher reps, ive never really got on with less than 12 reps, the pump and burn on high reps is amazing! give it go! its feeling ok thanks mate i just dont wanna over do it, its nice just to be able to bench anything after the last couple of years!

vegan_rossco Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Over the christmas holidays when my gyms closed I may try some bat sit ups on my pull up bar, it will end badly hahaI like doing one set of high reps/low weight after 4 or 5 sets of heavy weight/low reps I still get that pump its great! high reps with deadlifts is a good pump!glad it's not hindering you then mate, my step dads boss messed up one side of his pecs in a similar manner ages ago but wont train anymore.

mrbear666 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 bat ups are the way feel like rocky when im doing them, haha youll be fine..... i love that pumped feeling its awesome, wish i could feel like that allday! i would love to do deadlifts but i just cant get a good technique going, heard people with long legs arent suited to them so maybe its that. mind you your 6ft arent ya?

vegan_rossco Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 well I'm 5 11" and a bit, so pretty much 6ft haha, I put off doing them for a while because there's a lot of technique involved and it felt like a chore.. but once I did them I loved them and now I genuinely look forward to deadlifting, I started out practising with a 25Kg barbell and watched loads of minis vids and other vids on youtube to get it right, it does take a while but goddam it's worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 i might do what you did and just practice loads with an empty bar, i used to do them but i didnt bother with technique much then. they are definately a good exercise, maybe my traps will actually grow then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
