the one with STRONG FUNNY DRUNK written backwards on the floor in sweat is pretty damn cool

Thanks Tony for the ‘heads up’ yesterday. I got rid of the quotes in ’20″ Box’and it worked a treat.

Feeling the complete muscle failure already, looking at 100 push-ups for today
Tony on July 23, 2009 at 09:26 said:

As much as i tried, i can’t read that “how to be awesome” link without laughing. I keep seeing Kung fu panda “it is said that his enemies would go blind from over-exposure to pure awesomeness!” and “there is no charge for awesomeness…..or attractiveness”

Following on from Garvan’s post of last night how many Dubs do we have? We’ve clearly established that Mr Walshe is a Dub dispite his apparent identity crisis. I think a team work out practice deathmatch prior to Langerfest could be an idea?

i’m looking forward tot he dead lifts today then i noticed the push ups
Double D on July 23, 2009 at 09:30 said:

Tony count me in,Dub.Did I mention five Leinsters in a row.
Colm on July 23, 2009 at 09:48 said:

To split teams into categories, I propose we have two captains, and they pick their team, much like a NFL Draft, or a child’s game of rounders.

My Proposals for Captains are Tony and Bobby, for obvious reasons.

Speaking of rounders. Next Sat I was planning on having us all meet up at the Hellfire club car park or will we do a Sports Day in Tymon Park? (Potato Sack Races, Three Legged, Jockey Back Races, Wheelbarrow, etc)
Bobby on July 23, 2009 at 09:58 said:

Old man,

I’m not a Dub. I reckon we can split the teams like that, munster people think anyone from leinster is a dub so no matter how we split the teams they’re going to say its Dublin vs. Cork.
Dale on July 23, 2009 at 10:11 said:

aye i’m from Wicklow and proud of it , colm that sports day looks lot of fun
Colm on July 23, 2009 at 10:34 said:

This is exactly what those Langers want lads, us fighting amongst ourselves while they focus on their team spirit.

I’m from Bobby country although I didn’t acquire a liking to rusty gates like himself.
Scott on July 23, 2009 at 11:29 said:

Hi Guys,
Sorry i have not been down to the gym but I am sick again third time this year (Not Swine Flu).I will return asap,
as one of my work colleague’s has pointed out the return of my Double Chin .
Eamonn on July 23, 2009 at 11:43 said:

Sports day sounds good, hopefully I can make it. I am an excellent wheelbarrow and jockey back for the the obvious reasons of not drinking enough milk.
damien on July 23, 2009 at 12:42 said:

Bobby,Tony,Will.Its simple really. The demarcation line between Dublin and the rest of the country can be seen in the following map.

The bit in red is Dublin. Will this makes you a Dub.
Bobby on July 23, 2009 at 12:46 said:

I hear Scott has the swine flu.

I’m well up for that Sports Day idea as long as it isn’t this coming Saturday, I’ve already signed up to play in a tag rugby tournament.
Eamonn on July 23, 2009 at 14:16 said:

I just had some Eddie Rockets aka Empty your pockets for lunch. For the Zone/Paleo concious the ‘hamburger in a bowl’ is pretty good.

However having more concern over my deadlift performance later rather than fretting a little aul insulin spike I also threw in some Cheese & Bacon Fries and an Oreo Cookie Milkshake.
Colm on July 23, 2009 at 15:41 said:

I object to the Burger in a Bowl on the grounds that they charge you €1 more just to remove the bun, but other than that, good eating Eamonn.

Tony, I pretty much picked that link for the title alone. There was another one about showing up and being consistent, but hey, who doesn’t want to be awesome?
Ed on July 23, 2009 at 15:49 said:

Eamonn, never mind that Eddie Rockets lark. Go to Ricks on Dame street and order a double decker.

“munster people think anyone from leinster is a dub so no matter how we split the teams they’re going to say its Dublin vs. Cork”

It’s funny because it’s true! What’s a good target for 100 press ups (for mortals, not mikko salo)?
Eamonn on July 23, 2009 at 15:58 said:

Next time I’m out in town Ed I’ll make sure to stop by. Keep being awesome guys.

Pixie on July 23, 2009 at 17:30 said:

Sorry Eamonn, but it’s a great photo and captures perfectly what burpee box jumps feel like! Oh and as it’s Push Up Thursday here’s a link from the Art of Manliness with 35 different kinds of push ups, I reckon Will should try the Aztec Push up, looks fun!
Pixie on July 23, 2009 at 17:31 said:

Actually posting the link would probably help I guess – http://artofmanliness.com/2009/07/21/push-ups-exercises/ (WFS)
Becka on July 23, 2009 at 20:42 said:

Yes. Yes Wil should do the Aztec pushup. And someone should get it on film. Maybe multiple copies. For posterity.
Tony on July 23, 2009 at 20:46 said:

Peanuts pic is “awesome”
Following on from this mornings awesomeness

Ed on July 23, 2009 at 21:37 said:

C’mon Walshe, give the people what they want Tabata Aztec pushups with a weighted vest!

Actually, they’re not as impossible as they might seem. I managed to get up and slap my feet but landed on my knees on the way back (I suck at pushups).
Pixie on July 23, 2009 at 21:43 said:

Awesome link Tony – “There is no charge for awesomeness… or attractiveness!” Gonna go watch Kung Fu panda now!

Hey Pixie,
13:24 down to 7:38!!!!! That’s HUGE!!
Well done.
Tom Gannon on July 23, 2009 at 23:48 said:

People deadlifting more than 100kg’s……… You all must of cheated, especially big shane,
Pixie on July 24, 2009 at 00:18 said:

Thanks very much Tony, the ol carrying less weight apparently helps with bodyweight exercises!

Think it was actually less than 7:38, as I’m fairly sure I finished a couple of seconds before Bobby.

Course Big Shane cheated, he’s closer to the ground than you Tom so he isn’t lifting it as high as you, from now on Big Shane has to do his deadlifts to chest level!
Ed on July 24, 2009 at 00:56 said:

nah, have him do them from a stack of bumpers. He should squat in stilts too!
