The Silver Fern

Hangover II - Funny but not as good as the first one. Seemed like they tried too hard to deliver punchlines etc. 6.5/10

[quote name='taniwharugby']Watched 'Just go with it' with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.<br />
<br />
As a Sandler fan I was happier to watch this than the usual Rom/com, all in all, had quite a few laughs in this movie, have been forced to sit through alot worse ones in the name of love <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />[/QUOTE]<br />

Agree. One of Sandler's more watchable flicks and one the missus liked. Some funny bits but overall 6.5/10.

Yep. I've been doing them all as part of Crossfit over the last couple of years. Overhead squats was the hardest to nail technically. I started with a broom stick for a while, then just the bar and finally loading weights. It helped strengthen my back too, I used to have occasional back pain from a weak core.<br />
<br />
The thing I find with overhead squats is pushing my shoulders back far enough to balance when I'm in the squat phase.

I've been Crossfitting for 2 years now and I swear by it. I used to do it 5 days on, 2 days off but now I mix it up with road running but still manage to fit in 3 Crossfit sessions per week.<br />
<br />
One thing to watch out for when you start out is to make sure your focus on your technique rather than go hell for leather. A friend had some back issues when they first started from doing clean/jerk lifts and kettlebells. When they got fatigued their technique went out the window and caused back issues. <br />
<br />
Other than that, it's addictive.<br />
<br />
BTW Owen and Ben Franks run a Crossfit gym. I saw some videos of their gym and their Dad I think was running a session.

I'm a disciple of Crossfit so don't normally do static excercises like bicep curls, concentration, preacher curls etc. BUT..I am also a vain bastard and can't live without having decent guns. So here is my workout for my guns.<br />
<br />
5 X Rounds for time<br />
<br />

• 3 min rowing<br />
• 20 Pullups (kipping)<br />
• 20 Kettlebell swings (20kg)<br />
  <br />
  After that workout, I sit down and do a slow 3 sets of concentration curls (20kg-25kg). Normally my arms are dead by then.

Saw 2012 on the weekend in Gold Class here in BrisVegas. Impressive effects and gives some sobering thoughts to a E.L.E. (extinction level event). Story was way too unbelievable and melodramatic. Unbelievable in the sense that the main protagonist should've died like 10 times but didn't. Too mamby pamby predictable @ the end too. Otherwise entertaining 7/10.

Generation Kill. A 7-part mini-series that chronicles the 1st Recon Marines during the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Supposedly one of the more realistic films/tv shows about the military. I thought it was hilarious, some of the characters were fantastic. Some of the scenes and topics ie, killing of civillians were shocking @ times.

War of War starring Cuba Gooding Jnr - [url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133995/"]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133995/[/url]<br />
<br />
2/10 - Horrible horrible movie. Whats happened to Cuba Gooding Jnr? His career took a nosedive after he won an Oscar for Jerry McGuire. I won't even go into explaining the plot because there wasn't one. Just don't bother renting this..don't even waste your bandwidth stealing it off the net.

Weight heading in the right direction. Down to 109.2kg. Haven't been under 110kg in a while. Downside is all my suits are now too big. Oh well..prefer that than they be too small.

62 lastnight. I reckon 55 of them were "proper" the others were a bit of a struggle as my form died away. Unfortunately I've got long levers and push ups or bench has never been a strong point.

This one is simple..how many push ups can you do. Palms facing down, chest and nose must touch the ground.<br />
<br />
My chest is killing from today's bench press so I'll give it a go either tomorrow or Sun.

Got smashed by Fran (Crossfit workout) today. My time is down to 8min 10sec and man did it hurt. Didn't help it was 34deg today in BrisVegas.<br />
My weight is no down to 110kg so thats 3.8kg in 3 weeks just down to eating moderately. Tomorrow is my day off moderate eating YAY!! 100kg..here I come.

I tried this again today, I'm weighing 110kg now so 77kg. Managed to get 23 earlier and today managed to bang out 25. Nearly killed me though.

I can do 20 Kipping pullups (From the Crossfit workouts - [url="http://www.crossfit.com"]www.crossfit.com[/url]) and 8 deadhang pulls. I prefer the kipping pulls though, focuses solely on Power and gives you an aerobic workout @ the sametime.

Had a bitchin Crossfit workout lastnight - "Barbara" this one consisted of a 1.6km run, then 5 x rounds of - 20 pull ups/30 push ups/40 situps/50 squats. You have 4 mins to complete each round and a 3 min rest in between. I could only complete 3 x rounds in 4 mins. The rest I was down to squats/situps before time ran out. <br />
<br />
Just came back from todays workout. 7km run followed by 50 knees to chest on a hanging bar..I want my six pack!!

I'm back on it!! <br />
<br />
Sick and tired of working out 6 days a week, sometimes twice daily and still not able to drop under the 110kg mark. So I finally got around to moderating my eating. Working out like a demon and eating shit (self-confessed junk food junkie) just doesn't get you results.<br />
<br />
So I'm on an eating plan using the WeighWatchers points system. My goal is to get under 100kg this year and have 2 more Muay Thai fights before I retire for good. I've never been fat as such, luckily due to being 1.92cm tall but I'm finding that carrying around 115kg is getting harder in my mid-30's. <br />
<br />
My excercise routine consists of Crossfit x 3 per week, Running x 2 per week and Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts x 2 per week. Jeez, just looking @ that makes me realise the shit I've been eating to negate that xzxidiot2 <br />
<br />
My WeightWatchers point plan sees me eating 30pts per day, focusing on quality foods and WeightWatchers deserts from the Supermarket. I have 1 day a week where I don't count points - Saturday and a weigh-in on Sunday night.<br />
<br />
So far so good, have dropped from 113.8kg to 112.5kg first week and 2nd week down to 111.7kg, amazing what sticking to a moderate food plan will get you.

I've been training but just been too lazy to logon and update my log.  Did a SPIN class with my partner on the weekend.  It's been 8 years since I did one and man was my arse sore.  Good cardio workout though.<br />
Be @ the gym tonight to do some weights, then Muay Thai class followed up by a Karate class.Â

Went to the gym lastnight and did some padwork and bag rounds with the boys..nothing too strenous.  Finished off with 5x3min rounds of light sparring.<br />
<br />
Feeling v.lethargic tonight though so I'm giving training a miss.  Give my body a bit of a rest.  I haven't been sleeping well..going to bed @ midnight and getting up 8am isn't good for me I'm starting to find out.

Went for a run Sun night, bout 6km's..felt better running than I did for a long time.  <br />
Lastnight went and did a weights session @ the gym.  Weighed myself and I've lost 2kg's..yay!!  <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />  Now down to 114.5kg..another 10 to lose.

Doing well with my eating and workouts.<br />
<br />
Monday did a Muay Thai class.  Didn't get in early enough to do weights beforehand though.<br />
Tues went for a 5km jog.  Slowly getting back into my running.<br />
Wednesday - Tonight I'm off to do weights and then Muay Thai class.  <br />
<br />
Eating is going well.  No binges for a couple of weeks.  Eating moderately and mixing alot of veges, fruit into my diet.
