@rotated to the best of my knowledge the NRL has never made claims that **they help develop better people... **they file that under their wishful thinking outcomes.

I’m probly mistaken, but I thought it was “Better people make better ABs,” and not the other way around.

That sounds about right to me. I can’t recall the cartel or AB management at the time making reference to the ABs being the reformist colony where players came out of as newfound 100% law abiding citizens.

They definitely talked about character and didn’t shy away from referring to a player as a “good person” if it was warranted.

On Hayman, any of these stories of indiscretion and violence are very sad and impact so many more people than those directly involved.

Monday Weigh in.
Weight 88.4kg (400 gram gain)
Bodyfat 27%

Running
Got 4 runs in this week including one on the local hill. Weather was shit so happy that I still got out as its a total pain having to constantly dry the wet weather gear. Even managed another 25 minute 5k right on the nose. So that's progress

Weights
Picked up my missed session and did my normal 4 Current Lifts are Squat 90kg but this is right on my limit now so sets of 2, BP 60kg surprised I got through this, OHP 37.5kg dropped down to single lifts and 10 sets. Deadlift 100Kg the only one I am still going strong on. May add one more exercise to my routine. Want to get good at pull ups so will target that area.

Eating
Eating wasn't actually bad this week didn't get my 80% target but managed 4 out of 7 days. A lot of nervous snacking during the rugby and had one dinner out where I was probably not as strict as I could be. Some bad choices though around options too much bread which is a bit of a gateway drug for me. The truth is in the results though and to put on 400 grams needs to be a kick up the arse.

Mental
Been up and down this week, surprisingly not as gutted about the rugby result as I thought I would be. Over the years have come to expect that the game is taken out of the players hands with TMO and you can't blame them they are not in control of that. Its not like someone has lost their shit and punched someone. They just get it wrong sometimes.

A familiar pattern is starting to form though and I need to get on top of things again this week. May add a mid week update to try and keep me honest.

@taniwharugby No, Crazy Joes were exactly like popsicles except they had a kind of ridged design

For her pleasure?

<p>Great atmosphere for this game with over 99 thousands packing in the stands. But the standard of play is very low which is quite amazing when you look at the names of the players who are on the pitch. Top 14 is just scrums and penalties.</p>

well while they may not support 10% etc they sure do show some decent progressive. Pretty impressive for 6 weeks mate!<br />

Yeah like I said I doubt the percentages are very accurate, but short of shelling out a 100 Euros a week for a body tank test. I used the most accurate method at my disposal, which I assume is the method that takes the most site readings.

heres another thought: hire a bike<br />
<br />
I hired a mountain bike from a cycle shop down the road from the walky... watched the abs vs ireland game, hired a bike, rode to wimbledon, watched the safas v scotland and rode back... its outdoors, you get to explore sides of the city you wouldnt usually see (and the women in the sun) plus its a workout. its not the cheapest option (depending on the rental fare) but its a very enjoyable way of getting cardio.Â

Cheers for the support will start a new thread about and it give weekly updates expect the intro next week.<br />
