Guy! noob in need of your advise etc etc. 8 month ago I was involved in a bit of a crash. which forced me to move back in with my Mum. since then I've gained around 1.5/2stone! which needs to be gone. I have since then started doing a hell of a lot of road cycling (lost my licence)
1 - for fun, gets me out the house for an hour or 3
2 - to try and get some of the weight shifted
3 - doing the C2C in September
I've lost about half a stone maybe less in about 3-4 months. I've now joined the gym, which took me from February just to walk in there.
I have a card which was made up by the guys in the gym that took me on the induction. which are as follows:Day 1
Chest - presses 8 x 3
Chest - flys 8 x 3
Back - Pull down 8 x 3
Triceps - Pushdown 10 x 3
Abs - Crunch 12 x 3Day 2
Delts - presses 10 x 3
Delts - Side laterals 10 x 3
Thighs - ext 12 x 3
Biceps - curls 10 x 3
Abs leg raises 15 x 3Day 3
Chest - presses 8 x 3
Chest - flys 8 x 3
Back - Pull down 8 x 3
Triceps - Pushdown 10 x 3
Abs - Crunch 12 x 3
I've set my own weights, for what I feel comfortable doing over the reps. I go 3 times a week and just repeat day 1 on day 3. should I stick to that and see what the results are? I know it will take a while to see results.
AND, is there any sups you recommend? pre workouts? post workouts? Like I said total noob here. any help would be AWESOME! -

"Jack Thomas Gibson was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at 17 months old on 7th April 2016.
Within the first week of admission at Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle, we had received support from a number of different organisations.
These organisations need support, and we felt that we could support financially by holding a number of different events.
This blog aims to track the progress of our fundraising activities, and gives us an opportunity to thank all those that support us on a potentially global front." https://jacksleukaemiajourney.wordpress.com/Here's a facebook page to keep upto date on his progress,- https://www.facebook.com/Jacksleukaemiajourney/

I dont think I can face seeing the car. I loved the thing as seeing it again will be tough. I work for vw at lillyhall in workington, msport is about 10 mins away. No idea you had worked up this was, small world.

I'm happy to be here! REALLY god damn happy!
I hit a tractor on the way to work Saturday morning and had to be airlifted to Preston hospital. My car is a wreck, I will be suffering financially for a few year. but at the end of the day I'm still here, I wont be driving anytime soon.
NO pics of the car, as I cannot face seeing it. but from what if heard. I'm lucky to be here.
Peace out guys!

took the spring out of a "sprung tensioner" put a longer bolt through. worked a treat, if I bashed it doing sidehops just loosened the bolt and retensioned the chain and nipped it back up.

Right I need a bit of help! I have been driving since I was 18 and never had to buy a tyre. I now have a car that needs them! I'll be putting a pair on as one is a Goodyear and the other a michelin, and there both getting a bit scrubbed off. Tracking will be done when I get them fitted.
Just want to know what tyres will last and not break the bank.
Had a look on camskill as its close. theres some Nankangs that are cheap. done a quick google search and have good reviews. anyone had experience with them? or can reconment me a suitable alternative. Size is 205/40/18
Cheers.

Picking up my new car this hopefully. =D the price was right, and been looking for something with a bit more power than the 1.9 TDI Skoda Octavi Estate I've been driving for the last year!
New one is VW Golf GTI (Edition 35) Mk6. I'll get some pics when I pic it up. (like that but mines black)

Sure it's a repost, but who cares its an awesome video. =)

Are you wanting to keep the sprocket? If not get a dremel and a thin cutting disc. Be very careful. Put a thin cut at 12 o'clock and another at 6 o'clock on the sprocket. But just so your through the sprocket. Then grab a screw driver and place it in one of the slots and twist. should break off in 2 bits, just be very careful. Done it once, but it will be okay if you don't rush it.
