  @Frank said in TRC: Pumas v All Blacks: Reece is bloody lucky. no utility value not particularly good defense good fortune of being on the end of a dominant team's backline at Super level outside the AB center at Super rugby level He's fast though. Which means I can shout at the TV "Go, Reece lightnin"

  @jegga said in Fifty years ago today: Yeah those whacky misunderstood soviets , this podcast gives a rundown on how awful their space program was . Basically the cosmonaut was given a craft so badly made he refused to go up in it and he was told if he didn’t they’d make his friend Gagarin go up instead . He died cursing them over the radio and there’s a picture of the worst open casket funeral ever in the link. https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2011/05/02/134597833/cosmonaut-crashed-into-earth-crying-in-rage Just read that and there's a link in the first paragraph that basically calls out the whole thing as bulshit.

  Back and shoulders last night. Was feeling my leg doms so that made push pressing interesting. Wrist is getting better, feels like using it is helping rather than making it worse... I hope!! Strict wide grip press. Sets of 6 from 30kg up to a couple of sets at 60kg. Push pressing between 70kg and 85kg. Going to work towards 90+ but given the hip niggles I've got time before I'll be doing any heavier overhead squats. DB row and floor press combo next up. 30kg DB and sets of 8 each arm. 3 rounds of that. The weight was cake but it's the pressing motion that fires my wrist the most. So good to get some mahi done without going heavy. Cable face pulls next. Using the rope attachment. 3 sets of those. Then light cable rear delt reverse flies. These are pretty technical wee buggers. But holy shit, when you get your form right they burn like a mofo. Especially when you rep them to failure and hold the last rep. Sitting around 104kg which I'm happy with given my eating and sleep went to shit with the CWC. I was only kind of doing fasting during that time, and a few more takeaways. But back on track now. Sore today after 3 days straight training. But feeling stronk!

  @sparky said in TSF front page: Awesome work. Looks great. Hopefully the new look and the approaching RWC will attracting new interesting posters willing to discuss Rugby in a relatively civilised and informed manner.
