Ok, so I dont know how to say hello in Greek, but its sunny so Hola will have to do! I am using the internet in our hotel which costs a fortune and thus this will be the fastest ever blog entry in history - expect spelling mistakes and grammatical errors!Quick update -- We still havent trained but did get a sports massage yesterday. Not bad and my legs feel it today but I wanted to really get my arsed kicked and he wasnt rough enough. I like it rough.- Funny how different the diet is on holiday. Lots of carbs. . all the time. Chips everyday at least once with ice cream to wash it down! 6 meals per day has become three over here. Protein is about 6 grams per day for feck sake.- Police over here fine you 200 euros if you and the missus are bombing about on a motorbike tryig to get a tan in...
We booked a holiday a month or two ago and that time is almost upon us. On Tuesday we head off to the Vasia Beach Hotel and Spa in Crete!Rather than bore you with my itinerary of lying about on the beach getting oiled up, I will cover the questions everyone asks when I mention holidays . ."So Neil, will you train?"Yeah, I will. I just can't help it. Don't expect me to be knocking out one rep maxes on the front squats but I reckon the odd set of curls or push downs will be enough to keep me ticking over mentally. (I feel skinny if I don't pump iron, its true :p)"Will the diet go tits up?"Hot weather does kill the appetite so although I will be eating out, I wont be eating as much or as often. I will pretty much eat what I want when I want it for the 2 weeks.As you know, I like to work on...
I wanted to do a quick blog entry just to give a shout out to a few guys I know. Check out the Myspace tunes of Andy and Marty and tell me what you think. These guys write, sing and perform a lot of their own stuff which I always find very fecking impressive.ANDYS MYSPACE - Listen to 'meet your maker' and 'not that day'. My 2 favourites.MARTYS MYSPACE - This is his own stuff (check out 'dirty tuesdays') but he also does some pretty good swing stuff!Should also say that Marty is a client and good friend. At his fattest he was touching 19 stone. Not now though. I think he is about 13 and a half with a 6 pack at maybe 6'2 in height. Will get better pics off when he gets back from Turkey with a tan (he is super vain :-)BeforeMore recentListening to you both at the mo and I have yet to hear a...
Although I have only started dieting again this weekend sees me heading off to Liverpool for a stag doo. Then when I get back I have almost 2 weeks of clean eating before my own birthday. Then I will be pretty strict until a holiday in June. Weekends like this happen but they don't happen all the time so I plan to eat well when I can and enjoy myself when I can't. To keep you all amused over the weekend, check out the new Gladiators soon to be hitting ours screens in tight outfits.NEW GLADIATORS...
Not that long ago I did a blog entry on Strongman Jesse Marunde passing away at just 27 and now yet another football has collapsed and died at on the pitch. Phil ODonnell was just 35 years old!For more information check the source link -SourceWhy footballers ?!?! - Is it just a numbers game and due to the fact that so many play and there are bound to be some guys with underlying heart issues etc...
Scientists have bred a fecking super mouse. How cool is this -"The mouse can run up to six kilometres (3.7 miles) at a speed of 20 metres per minute for five hours or more without stopping. Scientists said that this was equivalent of a man cycling at speed up an Alpine mountain without a break. Although it eats up to 60 per cent more food than an ordinary mouse, the modified mouse does not put on weight. It also lives longer and enjoys an active sex life well into old age – being capable of breeding at three times the normal maximum age."Why was I not made a volunteer in his experiment?Maybe because I'm already like that?Source -Mighty...
I have quite a few readers now and as a way of networking I would like to give a quick shout out to just a few who have their own sites or blogs that deserve a quick mention.Derran sells watches which might be handy for you guys not knowing what to buy Dad for crimbo. Check this link. Tanya has a site dedicated to gym music. Although I don't own an ipod as I like to chat when I'm in the gym, I though you metrosexuals with your mp3 arm bands may like some Ipod inspiration.Last but not least, James has a finance blog with info for anyone who earns and spends money. Everything from bank accounts to buying stuff.Check it...
I flicked onto F1 the other day and the guys were commenting on the track and how the drivers on this particular circuit were travelling anti-clockwise instead of the usual clock wise direction.And ?Well it turns out the drivers had to train their necks in preparation for this course as they had one side stronger than the other due to so much clockwise racing !It shows what kind of G force those guys are sitting through !Well you learn something new everyday...
I'd love to one day own my own facility with staff all trained by me to teach the same methods, a kitchen where you can pre order your post workout meal, strippers etc etc.This gym is not far off what I would have in mind. Plenty of space and equipment and never any waiting about for machines or benches. As you know I'm not a fan of hour long steady state or machine based cardio but a sprint track is something else entirely. Ideal for working the whole body and great for those involved in sports such as mixed martial arts - You could do a set of front squats, then walk to the sprint track, go full pelt from a static start then have a quick grapple when your done !"Texas A&M operates what many consider to be the nation's top strength and conditioning facility - the Netum A. Steed...
So I was arsing about on Google and came across a surgery site. Something like 'Beverly hills plastic surgery'. They had all sorts of bits and bobs to improve your body from new chins to nose jobs. I'd love some cosmetic dentistry done on my front teeth (one overlaps) but couldn't imagine myself going any further.If you were to go to the Beverly hills plastic surgery place what would you go for and why ? A client who recently returned from LA had talked about people going in for one thing but it makes something look stupid and that needs corrected. Before you know it, you have spent a fortune to look like a cross between Leslie Ash and Mickey Rourke !I'm just curious to know if the gym and body transformation is enough for you or if you could, would you have some stuff done ?I did a blog...
Lots of skill ? Or too much spare time...
Phone DealsI ordered a new phone online (check link) so I should have it pretty soon. My current phone has a 2 mega pixel camera whereas this new one has a 3.2 mega pixel camera. I had planned on the new Nokia N95 but from what I have read it can crash quite a bit. Hopefully my new phone will take decent quality videos and pictures so my blog can go on to rival Youtube and maybe Google will offer to buy me out...
Regular reader David has provided me with a link to his site which basically talks about all things cricket. I'm not a big cricket fan but that doesnt mean its not okay :-)Check out his site and improve your game...

Cathie holds the world record for having the smallest waist in the world.( no shit !)How big ?About 15 inches !Where are her internal organs ?By the looks of it they are now stored in her tricep area - adding to the size of her bingo wings.Where can I find out more about Cathie ?Google this, " corset wearing granny with the waist the size of a babies head " or alternatively visit her site...
On Saturday the 16th of June it looks like the U.F.C. is coming to Belfast, Ireland.One or two guys I used to have a grapple with could be on the card for this event. I may be helping with their diets and thus should be able to find out more information closer to the time.What is the UFC ? - check this wikipedia link for a bit of background information on the worlds fastest growing and most painful sport...
