Colm i liked yesterdays vid and special thanks for not showing me in a heap on the floor at the end.cheers
Check out the handsome devils on the journal today, London 2012 Will?
Good video, cheers for pointing that out Ger, enjoyed that. Coach tucker seems like a really nice guy and Will of course continues to annoy me by being ridiculously strong, damn you Walshe *shakes fist using my weak little arm*
By the way, I know Colm hasn’t focused on it in the picture but Eamonn is drinking a large amount of milk, just to let you know Eamonn – correct!
Colm,
If you haven’t already, get your hands on a copy of The Inner Game of Tennis and give it a read. It outlines in a more detailed manner the sorta stuff Phil’s talking about in his article (just shutting up and getting it done).
It’s made me re-think my own training a lot, and the sorta cues I give to others when training with them.
The basic idea is that you learn by observing, just by feeling where everything is and not actually making the conscious effort to correct. And once you do start to get things right, you don’t think about what you’re doing right, just tell yourself you’d like to replicate it.
Very interesting read, and it does a great job of explaining why everything goes so well when you’re on a hot streak, only to fall apart when you try to figure out what you’re doing right and attempt replicate it!!
I suppose Lance Armstrong can’t be great at everything, but he could learn to clean properly

Just watched the video there now Ger, some handsome devils is right. Can’t help but notice how happy Pat was to have his hands on my waist!
Ah don’t mind me Pixie, that’s just me getting huge.
I saw that lance vid yesterday Robbie. Brutal technique on the cleans, you think he could afford a few olympic lifting sessions.
For those of you looking at the Monsoon outside, I couldn’t subject people to that. So if it’s fairly lashing and you’re on your way down to CrossFit, we’ll change the metcon.
If it’s dry, sure we’ll give it a lash.
ah lance, elbows up man. All the dope in the world cant teach you how to clean properly. what’s the story with the journal? Is it subscription based? Worth getting?
Hey Pat,
The Journal costs the princely sum of $25 a year, and has new content almost daily.
For the Olympic Lifting videos alone, and the fact that you get the entire back catalog, yes it’s worth the €20 or whatever it works out as. For the chance to see me, Will, Ruairi, Pat and Ger mess about up North, surely you’d pay ten times that?
Eamonn… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQOEvcfE1es(wfs) be careful dude.. that much hangin out in the dairy section can be a little strange sometimes!
Colm,Will & Ruairi… great stuff on the strong like bull banter in the journal..
Pat… Journal imo well worth the funds.. 25 squids well spent .so much good quality info in it.. before i got it wasn’t as sure about it but now that i have it its awesome… Highly rx’d!
Lance… Tut tut… That is all!
Dang, look at how ridiculously far above horizontal I was in that cross, felt like I was right down there at the time. The last 5 degrees are apparently the hard ones…
And I think people need to stop ragging on Lance. Someone has convinced a CYCLIST TO LIFT WEIGHTS. He’s not doing “sport-specific” leg extensions. This does not happen, and it shouldn’t be discouraged.
hey all.. felt this needed to be shared..hope ye enjoy..
One of the coolest surf movies i’ve seen in a long time!! about a half hour or so of quality.. music is great too!. http://www.relentlessenergy.com/films/view/powers-of-three(NWFS.. some gratuitous nature and a couple of swear words around 20 mins !!)
…. for those who don’t know the big waves here are at the cliffs of moher.!! bodacious!
Ah seeing that video makes me wonder where Colm’s Oakelys are right now, what their doing, and if they’re thinking of him…
Crap. What they’re doing.
