Monkeys Fist 41380 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I've started using the assisted chin up machine. Fuck me, that thing ruins you. I was in bits for a good 5 days after my first go on it. I'm blaming my shit performance on being tall/long limbed. A ladder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially tasty but very expensive fast food served in a canteen. If you are in a group the food does not come at the same time which is my biggest gripe. Probably good for you calorie wise but lethal in terms of salt. Beef teriyaki is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41380 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Just googled chicken Ramen and found this at Jamies gaf http://www.jamieoliver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=59762 Whoa, that's way complicated in comparison. I made a chilli chicken ramen yesterday for lunch. Took me about 10 minutes. 1grilled chicken breast ( I marinate it in teriyaki sauce, shop bought) 1-2 spring onions Handful of baby spinach Chicken stock Ramen noodles Dried chilli. 1.Grill the chicken breast 2.Put the noodles into a pan of boiling water, cook for 3-4 minutes. When done, drain and put them in cold water. 3.Whilst they're boiling , slice the chicken breast, slice the spring onion as finely as you can, and tear up the spinach. Slice the chilli as finely as poss. 4. Warm the stock, (I like to mix a bit of Miso paste onto mine too) 5. Put the drained noodles in a deep bowl , scatter the chicken over, pour over the stock, then how the chilli and veg ingredients in. Leave it to stand for a minute or two, then neck. All the "special" ingredients are readily available in supermarkets. Edited March 2, 2011 by Monkeys Fist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42793 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 How can you take the piss out of anyone when you basically had a food revelation a month ago, in your 40s, when Alex introduced you to pasta sauce that doesn't come from a jar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be done by the time he gets his chefs whites on)" I believe this is a process known as "getting your 30 minute head on" . Part of the limbering up instructions include the placing of a damp cloth under your chopping board (so it doesn't slip) , getting the rings on, application of a bit hair product, the donning of 'man sandles' and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in me ever achieving my goal of being an absolute animal of a man if everybody is going to be the same, society needs it's fat/pathetically skinny folk so people can draw comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21351 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Gemmill, wait until you're on to unassisted wide gripped pull ups. one of the best excercises going. good work for trying them out. the key to going unassisted is to decrease the resistance and up the reps each week. after about 2-3 months you should have built up enough strength to go unassisted. then the challenge is to take at least 5 seconds in the eccentric phase. killer excercise and one that will lead to massive gains.

What's the eccentric bit mean? I'm just doing 4 sets of naturally decreasing reps - I.e. as many as I can. When you say decrease the resistance, do you mean decrease the assistance (so make it heavier)? And try to do more each weak at a heavier weight?
