  1. Think of all the muscle groups... Must go through a back, shoulder, biceps, triceps and finally a bit of chest through the whole movement, assuming it's done in control rather than purely plyometrically?

    A slow muscle up, yes.

    But a lot of the ones I see people doing are predominantly down to a technique which conserves momentum thus no better for you than doing some monkey bars!

  2. In fairness the Saxo VTR/VTS' are a nippy little thing too, but equally awful being the same chassis

    The 106's have a thicker RARB and different shocks I think, not that it makes the slightest bit of difference. Mine rolls like nobody's business.

    I'd like to lower it by ~40mm and put it on some much stiffer coilovers and I think it would be a fun little thing to drive.

  3. I drove a 106 1.5D yesterday. How the f**k do you drive those things, I went over a cat's eye and thought I was going to die.

    Also, lol at the fake VXR.

    I've never had the pleasure.

    Joking aside the diesel 106's are a tragedy on wheels ~15 seconds to 60 iirc. Get yourself behind the wheel of a 106 gti and you'll see.

  4. Landlords, why are they so SO against sending me a tenancy agreement so I can sign it?! I've phoned them each day since viewing last Thursday asking for it to be sent and been told they would do it right away. Do they not even want my money?

    bastards

  5. I've had my OnePlus One for over a year now, great phone with awesome battery life.

    TheOnePlus Two is about to be released so prices will go down.

    Yeah the battery is mega, which is surprising given how bright the screen is. I've had mine for 6 months now and can't recommend it enough for the price I paid.

  6. Unfortunately I'm no longer on the beach so it isn't an option.

    Would I be right in saying that the 'wifi enabled' feature is purely to use wifi remotes to begin recording? I've looked at what's on the memory card and there's a few photos of a kid on a body board, I'd recognise them but chances are they have gone home after a weekend at the beach.

  7. Hi guys,

    I've found a go pro hero 3+ on the beach, and want to know if because it's wifi enabled I can video myself and try to make contact with the owner.

    So does the 'wifi enabled' function allow the camera to upload using my wifi to wherever the owner is backing it up to?

    I know some of you have these and as always TF is the best place to ask!

    Thanks

  8. Someone dies at a party in Bexhill having done laughing gas, the BBC interview someone and report..

    "I've seen people hurt themselves with laughing gas. They stand up and spin with balloons and I saw one person fall over and land on the steps and crack his glasses."

    And the moral of the story is....

  9. A little bump for those who have helped/read this topic and want to know what's happened.

    I worked really hard over exam time, and managed to average 70.2% over the 5 modules I took in summer and got 67.5% overall. I made a UCAS application and applied to 5 universities and received two offers, one from Cardiff (requiring 55%) and one from Sussex (requiring 60%). I went to Sussex's campus and really liked it, can see myself studying there and have around 10 friends who live in Brighton. Obviously I have accepted Sussex's offer, which made sense on paper too with double as many people getting first class degrees than Cardiff who I originally thought I wanted to go to. Although I didn't get a chance to look around Cardiff I couldn't have gone there knowing that the chances of me getting a 2:1 or above are so much lower.

    Some housing problems at the moment, having signed for a house in Swansea for a year but hopefully that will work out and I'll find a fresher to take my spot (the landlord is yet to confirm this is ok..).

    But ultimately I'm happy- I guess. It seems that doing poorly in my A levels is finally going to stop hanging over me and I'll be at the 9th best physics university in the country. If you happen to believe The Guardian. :giggle:

    Thanks to anyone who helped, I considered everything that was written in this thread and it did help me sort myself out. :cheers:

  10. Dan is not a bodybuilder, he's a young lad who's been lifting for a few months and wants to make some gains and is doing. He doesn't need a super clever diet, he just needs to lift, rest and eat OK and he'll se results.

    Exactly. N00b gains are real, just by lifting and eating a caloric balance (in mainly whole foods) its possible to cut fat and build muscle. After heavy compound lifting for a year or so and reaching a plateau you should be looking more closely into your macros.
