23!!!! Wow!
Last time my brother was there he was jogging one morning & saw a group of blokes around a van & thought he would say hello & see wot they where upto... Luckily he lost them after they tried to bundle him into the van & then chased him - he's not the brightest to be fair!!! Some of the places they've shown me look amazing though!

How did you know I was in Guadalajara?

It's like I know u have a boss tattoo - u've mentioned it once or twice!!! I'd never heard of it before he met Griss so it stuck in my brain - I would like to clarify I'm not the female version of Slinky & im not stalking u!!!

Cheers

Ha ha...I was just curious..me and my gob...

Re the tattoo nearly everyone that mentions it knows it's LFC over here which is incredible, would anyone recognise a Chivas tat back home?

Oh yeah..the 2 lads stayed with us and trained at my father-in-law's footie team for 6 months..Leones Negros de U de G...

They are back in Cork, one of them has joined the Irish Army and plays for their firsts and the other is trialing in the UK, went back to Cork and walked into the 1st team down there..

Did them a world of good, altitude training and tiki taka only...

Thinking about getting a couple of Kettle Bells. Anyone used them or have some? I have been told by quite a few people that they are good.

I could've sworn it was you talking about using them on here before, am I going mad?

[Alex]

I spoke about them in a thread ages ago when I first heard of them. But never got one or did anything about it. Taking my fitness a bit more seriously now so wanted to hear some opinions.

Last time I posted about Kettlebells on here I got accused of being a liar

I have used them for a few years...don't have any at the moment though..I keep moving countries and it's cheaper to get new ones than ship them...seeing as I am staying put for a few years now I should probably go and buy another set.

They're very good if you want to work out at home and you can get pretty good results very quickly.. One piece of advice I can offer, is get a few one on one lessons at your gym before you start as by nature they are unstable and it's quite easy to do yourself a mischief..also good form and a decent exercise plan will dramatically improve your results.

[Alex]

Nice one. My brother in Law is a personal trainer, so I am sure he can show me the right form.

Do you think I should start off light? 10kg or something?

[Chazza]

Do you do any weights at the moment?

[Alex]

Some, mostly machines for weight loss. I just dont want to get too heavy/light.

[Chazza]

12-16kg to start then you will move up to a 20kg pretty quick if you can stick with it.

[Alex]

Cool. I take it you use them too? You think they benefit?
