motocross and some downhill riders use those to prevent forearm pump and Colm its all in wrist. Maybe you have over worked you’re wrist?

Kyle,

We call them powerballs and apparently I’ve read that they were an Irish invention (hence the original colours of Green and Orange).

I have one knocking about, but due to my ineptness I couldn’t keep it spinning. Ask Courtney about it, he’ll laugh his ass off telling you about it.

yea Eamonn, I’ve had 4 over a fair few years and I’ve been very lucky. I’m not bothered too much, except how to fit in my training. But sure, it will be grand.

unlucky Sue. I think this happens everyone with a moped at some stage. Happened a girl in work twice in a month. First time she didn’t have insurance either.

That bar made me think about this:

I keep forgetting to do the post workout stretchin’. I have noticed a difference with the dynamic stretches pre-workout though especially on the rare occasion I might play some football. It seems to make me much less likely to tweak something.

I’m with Garv on the fruits v veg, if apples and bananas start making me fat I’ll switch to something else. Vegetables are for dinner not for breakfast (well, for me anyway)!
