Wow, you're almost dead!

Apparently very fit, a cardiologist was pretty impressed

I know, was totally joking. Hell, I'm a bit envious. At rest my heart-rate is 58. I couldn't get into the 40's if my life depended on it.

 

[dorsetknob]

Regardless, on behalf of the UK Clubhouse, I'll apologise for the fat Americans jibe posted earlier.

Its all in the genesjeans ...........or not

my resting heart rate is like in the 70s. LOL

so is my Dad's though i think. my Dad had a full heart scan/test stuff done a couple months ago, for a guy that eats red meat almost 7 days a week, his heart was perfectly clean. no plaque or any issues at all, the doctors were stunned.

LOL i guess you have to be careful with studies sometimes that say eat like a rabbit. maybe those studies were people just eating crapola meat like bologna and not 85/15 red meats. the media never tells you that stuff, media loves to play their games. /shrug

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I eat red meat, just once a week maybe. I don't eat takeaway ever either.

It's all relative, if Tigger was Warwick Davis he would be obese I am 61, 32 inch waist, 42 inch chest, 5ft 10 inches, 165Lbs but there are still some days I feel fat, usually after a difficult gym session

Reading the methodology in studies, or reading the 'conflicts of interest' declarations, allows people to reach educated conclusions. And a single study requires peer validation by being repeatable for it to gain traction. The media has nought to do with these things. Social media disinformation, however, often from persons with 'conflicting agendas' tend to muddy what can be quite clear water.

I mean, in the world of social media, one guy can say his dad is super healthy, despite his terrible lifestyle, and then claim studies can't all be right.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I'm 5ft 7ins btw

Never been to a gym, though i did used to cycle a lot, maybe 100-200 a week, done 100 milers a few times to. Group i used to go out with probably averaged about 50-60 miles on a ride.

you know, the scientific method used to mean something else besides just "peer evaluation" it used to mean the exact same experimentation had to be done exactly the same in other part of the world, etc. then done again somewhere else, all parameters the same. then if it passed several of these repeat studies, it would then be considered a strong theory of science.

sadly science has become... well corrupted, not the scientists themselves, but the money flow and movers and shakers of that world...

but there are still some days I feel fat, usually after a difficult gym session

do you still work as hard as the days when you were in the army? or is your intensity pretty much half that?

Well "the gym" in reality is my conservatory, I have Running & Rowing machines as well as an exercise bike but to answer you're question ......... no, my head always wants to push hard but the body declines the offer, obviously I am nowhere near as fast as I was but once you get to your 60's it's more about recovery times so I do every other day, I still push myself but sensibly otherwise I get niggles. I don't run too much as I have had 2 cartilage ops on my left knee so I tend to do 4 x 5 minute circuits on each alternating between rowing and bike, quite high intensity with high resistance (5) on each then to top it up to an hour I just do a steady 20 minute run at the end to warm down a bit.

I haven't had an In&Out Burger in years... Suddenly feeling the need for a road trip down the coast..

 

[kurosagi01]

Last biggish burger I had was at a local restaurant around the euros 2020/2021 this year.
Been trying to get a five guys burger but can't justify it now lol.
Recently bought a curl bar to change up my bicep curl routine,on top of buying an extra set of 7.5kg weights for my home setup.
Last time I checked my heart beat it was around 50s(28 and weighing 11.5stone).

Bicep curls are plain silly. Ideal to develop tendonitis. Get a chin up bar or a TRX system for pulls instead. Biceps were never meant to be loaded the way curls do. Professional opinion, typing from work. The gym.

That will be in future when I have my own house, the home gym space will grow don't worry lol, last few stuff I want is some form of leg press machine and pull up bar.

Went fishing again for a few hours. Managed to get much much further up stream as i had a ride. Went back to a place i used to dead bait for pike when i was maybe 13 or 14 with a family friend. So i know there are pike there. Its just that there werent any there when i went today....

Im starting to think that the entire pike population in the river has been absolutely decimated. I cant even get a hit from smaller pike and switching from spoons to crank baits with the rattles and wobbly action - absolutely nothing.

All Caught and Eaten By the Same people that catch and eat Swans

I would say its illegal to eat swans but then again I dont think these people care and I have seen more swans than i have seen pike so I think their numbers are still safe

Its harder to stuff a dead swan in a bag then a fish.

Intel CEO Cites Brexit as Reason for Chip Fab Plans in UK Not an Option

In an interview with the BBC, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said that the company is no longer considering the UK as a site for a chip fab, due to Brexit, something the company had apparently done prior to Brexit. Now the company is looking for a location in another EU country for a US$95 billion...

boris ******* up as usual LOL

 

[the54thvoid]

With reference to the LQ post, last time I checked, we don't do blatant politics. I know the UK is waaaaaaaaayyyyy more relaxed about things but still, hypocritical not to at least LQ the remark.

And, this post should serve to remind folks, the UK Clubhouse is not exempt to the guidance asking people to refrain from political posts.

 

[Space Lynx]

its not really political imo, its pretty straight forward, and its an official news article on TPU lol

 

[kurosagi01]

On a flip side,i've seen a couple of "insulate britain" tweets and articles popping up, group of protestors blocking major motorways. Makes you wonder where you draw the line to spread a message in this day and age.
Peaceful protest doesn't seem to work anymore.
Edit:
Also Scan is selling 6900 XT for £1.3k-1.6k(beyond that is silly as those are WC) which kind of makes it better deal then RTX 3090 at the moment in terms of price and stock.

Spoke to my parents the other day, they were telling me that the vicar at my uncles local village chapel in oxfordshire is a protester who sewed his lips up last week......
