Yesterday though the retarded gym owners closed the gym 2 hours before it was supposed to so at my arrival it was already closed. Thank god it only takes me 3min to walk there.

Does long run mean  like 3 miles?? and does anyone have any advice so i can sprint alot because when i played last week id be ok until i sprinted and i got tired real quick. i think it's the changing of speed and direction that kills me too

in short, do sprints w/little recovery

Okay, so I'm back in the gym! I've been working on my chest, and found some good exercises for the pecks.  :biggrin:

 I was just wondering what you guys do for biceps and abdominal?

biceps: curls via dumbells
abs: crunches, leg raises..one thatn works great for me is laying down and holding your straightened legs 6 inches-1 foot of the ground, and then make the shapes of numbers in the air while keeping your legs straight and using your abs. Do this for as long as possible. Its basically a harder version of leg raises.  :thumbsup:

don't let size fool you. use your strength to your advantage and watch how powerful you can become. bruce lee, all of 125 pounds could hold a barbell 135 lb heavey directly in front of him.

gain power, and you will gain strength. fuck size.

mass, and ultimately momentum, is a very nice thing to have in certain sports

oh, and i've started working out again as well.  i'm working my way up to a full planche  :pimp:

[manutd.]

Do you do any bicep exercises on the cable machines? I guess free weights would be a lot better anyway..

I want to get heavier, but not too much heavier....just to make it more difficult for the huge trolls who end up covering me for some reason (since I'm usually the lightest/one of the smallest players on the field) and to improve my explosiveness so I need less time to accelerate.

I think free weights might be best. Aslo, consider doing chinups. (not pullups and not those things that work your lats -- just normal chinups)
