Two weeks to Manchester! We need to book accommodation!

Singles £64.50 Double £84.50
This hotel is a short walk from the gym (about 5/10 minutes) On weekends the nightclub is very popular and a favourite with hen/stag dos. Something to bear in mind if you want a good night’s sleep. Its location couldn’t be more convenient though.

Is it not in september lads?
oh sorry, yous are just heading over for a trip, thought yuo were on about the level 1 cert and i shat my pants thought i got the month wrong or something.
It sucks that I only have 2 weeks to clear all the alcohol by-products out of my system before they’re gonna get restocked.
You guys should have seen me trying to train yesterday, I must have looked like I was about to die.
Righteo, cheap and cheerful it is, we’re booked into Henry Hotels.
Now, it’s up to Jonny and Shane (remember Shane?) to book the cars and Ruairi and Kyle have dodged this duty. If we don’t book cars, I vote someone give me a jockey back around Stockport and Manchester.
The “I can’t believe I’m paying for this” video springs to mind…
So in the event of no cars the WOD is “carry Hairy O Reilly around northern england. post time to comments”, you’d better pray there’s no scaling involved! Be good lads
Will- I know what you mean about pre-Manchester detox. Tonight’s my last night out before it.
Honestly.
You goddamn pussies with your alcohol periodisation!
“Variances in effort, intensity, enthusiasm, and performance are an inescapable part of life. The belief that these natural variances can be planned for months in advance in order to optimize performance at a later date is hogwash.”
- Greg Glassman, April 2003
Just noticed Pancakes only has one shoe on in that photo. What’s he up to?
Did we just get scripture quoted at us Ruairi?
I don’t think making a deliberate attempt to consume your own bodyweight in beer qualifies as “natural”…
45 – 50 – 57.5 – 60 – 67.5 (1 rep) – 65
my last effort at 65 i had my right hand up before my left, took a serious effort to push my left the rest of the way.
oops, just seen there were two more reps.
Started to do weighted pull-ups afterwards. 5-5-5 with 25lb dumbbell, tabata training to start after my exams next week
Colm,
Put down the toffee crisp and back away…
Nice work Colm!
Good luck with the finals, and fair play for training right up to them. I only left the library for bathroom breaks and closing time back when I did mine.
It would seem it’s a week of rebellion, as we decided against push pressing tonight, instead busting out some tasty Overhead Squats

Kyle – 50, 60, 70(f), 65, 70(f), 70
