    Weight Training Thread

    So I had a number of travel plans for work and play recently so getting to a gym wasn't guaranteed. Instead (and to be certain I kept up the exercise regime) I stupidly agreed to be a part of a friend's fitness challenge/initiative: the 2014 Le Tour de Push-up. Basically involves doing a...

    Juan, I do the rot cuff exercises due to the huge range of movement in my shoulders from years and years of competitive swimming (50-60km weeks) and waterpolo. It just helps tighten the shoulder up so I don't get any shoulder impingement doing heavy shoulder exercises. Also I seem to need to...

    What happened to flight MH370?

    I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories either. But if Airforce one had have gone down with a president on board, I can guarantee it would have been found by now.

    I would not be surprised to see Wilfried Bony move on from Swansea at the end of this season. He would fit into the system at Everton well and from the few games I have seen him play this season when fully fit could score 20 goals at a club like Everton.

    Are you religious because of or inspite of?

    Some selective schools, in Australia at least, require that the child is baptised as part of acceptance and enrollment. I assume it would be very similar in Australia. I know that is part of the reason some parents baptise children. I do agree it is a bit of a cop-out though.

    Yeah Dave, it is sad isn't it. But when you consider how much they paid which is reportedly AUD 11.5m, then it is pocket change for them. Hell Man City could buy AVFC from the money found in the car ash tray. What would we be worth? GBP 70m-100m if we were lucky?
