    What do you all do for fun except country road blasts and detailing Megs?

    I do photography, snowboarding and Mauy Thai.

  2. I'm a little partial to a spot of road cycling, building bikes up and (sad I know) work as a joiner.

    Yours is as varied as they come!! :tonguewink:

  3. Detailing on the side as a hobby not a job! Love it any car I can get my ha de on I do.

    Motorcycle trials, photography, space and telescopes and basic gym use.

    Ha just a little! Mauy Thai is the latest. I've always been into Martial Arts and fighting but thought I'd try it over the traditional styles I'm used to!
     
  5. Gym
    After losing 10k of size in the last year I've started back at the gym 5 days a week
    5am up and to gym then to work at 7.30 till 5.30

    I dread to think of the costs involved in that!
     
  11. Its the same as any hobby. the further up the chain,the more expense.

  13. I was a bit blunt.

    6ft 15st 29yoa
    Dead lift 200kg
    Squat 140kg
    Bench 140kg

    5k run 22mins.

    Been stuck at the above stats for quite a while. Not complaining though.

    Blunt weightlifting surely not :wink: haha

    That's quite an impressive set of numbers! Do you do the strongman comps?

  15. You need to be doing even more than that for Strongman comps lol
    I managed 8x3 of 100kg squats once. When I was into cycling :smile:

  16. Numbers quotes are for reps, so not 1 rep max lifts.


    As James has put I'd need to double those figures to do strongman.

    I don't think I could afford it either, seeing what Eddie Hall eats it's incredible. I just go to the gym and lift weights out of habit/for fun, although my knees and shoulders don't think it's fun. Ha.

  21. Nice photos mate, one thing is to master the technical side of photography, lake how to set your camera to achieve the desired result. The other thing is to be able to imagine the composition, the artistic side of it. Your pics are composed really nice and i am sure they are shot very good as well

    Nice work. Manual shooting is easy! I learnt everything off the internet (mostly youtube) and only ever shoot that way!

  24. I was your size/weight and loved hitting the gym but after my 3rd shoulder op and being told I have arthritis of a 60yr old and some Pricks in the gym pissing me off I steadily took a step back and started mtb/cycling.

    I go through stages but I just think it gets to boring and when the weather is nice I like to get out on the bike.

    Seen a few insta pics of you, keep it up bud.
     
  25. Can relate. My left knee has bad cartilage from playing rugby which makes training legs hard. Also my gym is full of steroid users and it's easy to get dissolutioned over what is acchievable naturally.
    Plus young guys, poor form etc I know everyone has to start somewhere but when I started I read books etc to make sure I wasn't going to look a boob in the gym.
    Or maybe I'm getting old and miserable. Ha.

    Insta yeah? What's your username I'll give you a follow.

  26. Really good those photos! As above, it's the setting up of the camera I find difficult.

  32. It is indeed. I was not sure if your photo was photoshoped or not, as the pattern is repeating and looks like it runs into infinity.

    It's a huge viaduct so no photoshop for repetition but I do use photoshop as my editing software.

  37. Photoshop is a massive tool. Very hard for me to find time for it. I always forget what i learnd because of not brushing my skils regularly

  40. I used to do various hobbies, track days,motocross, shooting, fishing,golf but recently I'm quite enjoying doing fcuk all. I've found I'm actually really good at it and looking deeper into turning it into a professional career if I can be motivated.
