@spearman you've hit the nail on the head mate,this place went well beyond just training stuff,the feeling of support and advice on life in general was and still is second to non.I had problems and like yourself and others here, found this place to be a massive help.Speaks volumes on the type of members that are part of UGM.

@The Red Meat Kid you need to get that lot to come back here training was never a requirement of this forum.....although rudedog might be avoiding me as he chucked the spiderman rug out he promised I could have after his bairns bedroom refit.........them wounds are still raw LMAO

Lol I feel you mate - I left the group to clean my act up. Didn’t work out, 8 month disaster, escaped by the skin of my teeth, many stories to tell.

Been training again 8 weeks or so and got a the bug back in a major way - targeting the 2021 Olympia currently.

I’ll sort the watsap out later.

Can you dm me your number. Changed phones for obvious reasons.

Thinking will start posting on here again also as I miss the good old days.
 
For those of you who dont know, @holly had twins about a year ago and dont know if she hits the iron any more. I have the very odd natter with her on facepuke so might see if shes ever likely to return. Sadly UGM has always been male dominated but the difficulty was getting a few to join then others to follow. If I a girl browses and sees nothing but a pork sword fight then it might be off putting. Holly was a bit of a tomboy by her own admission so fitted in really well!
 
Its quite morbid really but could be a lot worse!

I guess in some ways having a bit of knowledge on certain subjects and knowing tell tail signs of certain ailments etc may have helped in some cases. Taking a more lighthearted example a friend of mine popped 4 x 60mg codeine last week and was going mad cos he was itching like hell to the point he was making it worse #9he also has anxiety). I explained its perfectly normal but he got in a tiz and went to A&E and they basically told him to go home and not take them again. Im not the authority on opiates but I know that the itchiness can be an absolute fucker!
 
Still pop on and read now and then but don’t post much as it’s all been done to death hasn’t it. There’s nothing really left to learn on training and gear past a point is there, you’re just repeating yourself and having the same discussions.

Do miss the old tales but we’re all prob a bit too long in the tooth for that nonsense nowadays.

Mostly anyway......

Hope you’re all well boys.


Anyone know how Pip is doing? IB, you heard from him?
 
I dunno rent... lots of new studies and stuff coming about nowadays regarding training, hypertrophy etc The last few years has really seen an increase in interest to the science behind it all and exploring the different methodologies and theories, pathways etc Far more so than the hay days of forum activity, but I do guess you still need your life to revolve around training for that to be of much interest of bother, we can certainly still do fine off the knowledge we had etc but nothing left to learn? no way IMO
 
I think when it all lost it’s mystique the enjoyment of a forum died a bit for me.

I do love it still tbh - pumping the oil in and getting hench but the romance died a few years ago and I’m not interested enough anymore to learn new concepts.

Do enjoy trying new exercises though and being open minded in that respect often yields a new trick or too.
