On a bit of a sadder note, my great Uncle died on Sunday. His name was Gerard Colman, and you probably don’t know that name but in the days before the internet, he was European Amateur Heavyweight Champion, in 1947 as Gearoid O’Colman. He was possibly the best Irish Heavyweight of all time and certainly … Continue reading
And so, it begins. The only thing more fun than doing these rounds is videoing these rounds.http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAOF-u9WtopylwZ9XHAqIS4TJVWZvT6Fcb_MhBlcs3JQ517JD6xs4MQxyv05ZX0KrqgBltVhnSGAFlTIChWdLxmvM98BVW7tKRyeBTXvHrRuJeGuG5HhmK7QOYyNKQRiJwQ-vBH4SUXgd3QWRRSCythLJu4kXBAH04aVOABjX-BzCHBf_r-NGLr25HiWrX4dKgu8KrkVw8CGFVM8VmFq4M83Aogb0sLJ2O4C5h4BcEB0Y%26sigh%3DygjvVMcnGz8KmoKqv7UwWAxVi7c%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D94b80104ec902783%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DFNzKax4_lslUDokSampCOIlJRGs&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3DenAnd no Grant, I do not “love my blog”, it’s inanimate. It’d be like saying I love my car, which I sort of do, so in answer to your question, shut up. I tried to get one of the … Continue reading
I was so close to a training goal on Saturday night and then had it unmercifully taken from my grasp on Sunday morning. I had eaten about 400 grammes of jellies after going to see the new Bond flick (which is dissappointing) which left me with just a smatterring to make up the whol kilo … Continue reading
Good ould session this morning, was missing a couple of fighters due to Haloween commitments but they’ll pay for that on Monday night. Today looked light on paper actually: 4 minute rounds:1) Resisted sprint complex2) Row3) Pull, push,clean, lunge complex4) Single leg, med ball drop complex.Then followed up by 8 rounds of sparring, which was … Continue reading
I really, really, really love Jiu Jitsu. Words alone cannot explain how much I love to wrestle, so I won’t waste any more on trying to express that. Last night I rolled for the first time in a month or so and it felt great to be back…. for two rounds. Then it started to … Continue reading
Finally, no more posters stuck on the door. I wanted to say a quick good luck to Paddy who fights in Cork this Saturday. If I’d remembered on Tuesday I would have made a bigger thing about it but I saw him yesterday morning so I forgot Tuesday was going to be the last session … Continue reading
Honestly, he arrived during the summer wearing pink all the time, which I thought was funny enough. And then last night he turns up in his full Chemical Biological Nuclear suit. Words fail me. He also seems to be not in the slightest bit embarrassed about it. I’d go so far as to say he … Continue reading
Take one sheet of plywood, one ruler, a measuring tape, a jigsaw, a 51mm holesaw, a pencil and some sandpaper. Then add a bit of patience and another trip to B&Q after you fuck up the size on your first attempt, you have two bumper plates weighing approx 1.5kgs each, though I’ll have to stick … Continue reading
I’ve just spent a really interesting weekend being taught how to lift again by an Olympic silver medalist. It’s not often you can say that you were in a room with someone who holds one of those precious items, and even rarer that he’s willing to show you everything he knows, so naturally I thought … Continue reading
I was just on Capper’s website (no really, he has one it’s about bridges and…. oh sorry nodded off there) and I found this which I thought was hilarious. Also since I won’t be around all weekend since I’m on a course and didn’t find the time to post it earlier, I thought it’d be … Continue reading
