RBs Pre Season.

[BartMan]

Whanga drew with Tairua and lost to patamahoe (spelling) 12-36.  Skinny white boys backline, typical from the last few seasons bullish forward pack led by Huk and Cyril up front along with a new boy prop that looks pretty good so far.

good work RB, my strength has gone to pot, can't bench thanks to a fucked up shoulder, but can shoulder press, chin up and everything else, just no bench more than 60kg before PAIN, it sucks with big Cyril punching out reps 130kgs plus.  I don't count anymore as I am too jealous...<br />
<br />
You have a new coach now too at COBRAS, you might get that call up...<br />
<br />
Weighing in at a constant 94 odd kilos now, and loving it!!<br />

Fark me Bart, that is a good steady weight for a former prop.<br />
<br />
I am getting up to about 94.odd kgs myself now. Want to push on to 95.5kgs for September/October - which should be achievable i reckon.<br />
<br />
Going to start on the real weights over teh summer instead of just beach weights. Squats, Deads etc... Squats are the worst for me - am doing less than i bench.

yeah, new trainer at the gym though I was a former midfield back, have also been accused of being a halfback with the new slimline!!

Fucking Aye.  Cobras have North today at home.  I will be in my civies of course but eagerly awaiting the scent of swamp rats claret on out turf.

Think I have rotator cuff pain and my C5/6 compression has flared up.  Bad timing as I am really getting back into rugby mode now.  Have also found that training on treadsmill bears little resemblance to running on grass and taking contact.  I think my get up and got has got up and gone.

Mate,<br />
<br />
Treadmills don't bear any resemblance to running outdoors, regardless of what the brochures tell you. I reckon get a mate keen and go out together so you have someone to bitch about it with. The contact always takes the longest to get back into but after a few games you will be sweet stick to it!!<br />

Out of action this weekend attending family funeral.<br />

[b]Thursday:[/b]  Team Training with the Bs.  Found it too easy apart from blisters popping on ankles in new boots.  Touch, bit of contact for forwards, team run, contact drill on bags.  Then free feed from sponsors at Grand Tavern.  Dropped two basic passes in team run which should have taken. Weighed in at 104kgs this morning.  Weight is dropping off me now.
