@nta yeah, have to say training with these guys in their 20's has been full on...but i really needed it
I've also developed a new respect for 20 year old me, i look back and think i was a bit of a fat kid that payed front row but i must have been fitter than i thought...just with the fat on top
also, the idea of a big night on the piss after working all day and then playing a game tonight....sounds exhausting!...might fake in injury in the last minute so i can at least sit down
-
@kiwiwomble I hadn't been down in a few years and pissed myself when I heard one of the more senior players saying he was managing his body, because he's older at 32.

@bones it has been pretty funny this week with some of these guys coming in with the big inspirational speeches....and im like where were you a month ago when we were running shuttles in 40 degrees

Not to sidetrack too much, but we did a warmup the other night called "I Can't Feel My Legs":
Stand on one tryline and do 50 squats then 20 lunges per leg.
Run to the other tryline.
Walk back.
That's 1 set. Do 3 sets in total
Now, the young guys all went red hot on that Monday, and Wednesday they could still barely walk. Myself and another mid-40s front rower eased our way into it, and stretched the next day. Kicked their arse Wednesday night

That's why you're so skinny. Imagine, if @NTA lived up your way, he would probably be 85kgs and playing #9....

Fucking 2021, trying really hard not to be outdone by 2020. @Kiwiwomble so sorry to hear that bro. How far along is the "I told you so" speech?
I can remember the look on the wife's face when I came home (multiple times) injured! -
