No, its not, and as I type this Kathartik gets out. With Nohit, captain douchebag and Rahul back in the sheds the only firepower left is Pant. Dhoni is a primadonna bitch who isn't a quarter of the player he was 5 years ago and Sir and Pandya are... bowling allrounders shall we say.  

If south africa were 'warm' from the start they would be top three tbh. We're straying down the path to insanity. 

Pakistan arguably should ave made the semis. They never got to play Sri Lanka. A game they would have been favourites for

Outdoor about 5 years back. Indoor about 2

When I played I swore by GM

Yeah im still doing most of my old cardio alongside the strength. I just hit a point where I realised my arms looked weirdly thin and I knew it would just get worse the more weight I lost if I didn't do a little work on them. 

My body type seems to be quite lanky by nature. Weight gathers mostly in the middle and the limbs stay relatively skinny. My aim is pretty much to keep my weight at a point where any excess around the midriff is minor, and my arms and shoulders look a bit more proportionate. Maybe a wee bit more thighs and arse too. 

Thicc is in these days, lean into it. 

 

I ate a whole pizza, garlic bread and dessert last night. I am leaning brother. 

You sound like a classic ectomorph

I've managed to lose a bit of weight over the spring. Not sure how much, but just from around the face and ribs etc I can tell. Makes sense since I upped the running and ate better since winter. Also less pints. 

I could lose a little more flab here and there still but I can live with that, so for first time since high school I've started doing a bit of strength instead of cardio. Just lifts and squats with some light dumbbells and some push-ups, but I feel like there's a slight difference around the arms and shoulders. 

Not sure if I'd want to sign up at a gym and go further with it. I wouldn't be bothered about building any real muscle, just get a bit more definition. 

You get definition buy building muscle and losing body fat. The media likes to use the word 'toning' but it doesn't actually exist. If you're just after a more athletic look it's not too hard to achieve though.

I am chonky as fuck now after a few good months of lifting. I was 60-65 kgs for years, until I hit the gym hard last year. I was 62kgs then, now I'm 74kgs, much more swole, and a little bit thicc. Might do a cut around September.

@nudge I was just coming in here to ask the same question. I've got a glass knee and I'm needing some suggestions on what to do. Swimming isn't an option for me either.

Squatting is the king of leg lifts and with good form it doesn't load up the knee.

I'm currently studying fitness at uni, and training at uni 3 days a week. I'm also at my local gym 3 days a week for between an hour and 2 hours a session. 

@The Palace Fan

Here's some food for thought. The revival are one of the greatest tag teams in the world. Probably top 5. They are also our Raw tag team champions. 

They have never wrestled a regular tag match on the main card of any PPV. Only a match earlier this year as 1 of 4 teams in the match I believe. The best Caucasian tag team in the world at their disposal and the WWE haven't exploited that at all. Imagine how much better the stomping ground card would look if there was a 15 minute match between the revival and the Usos on the card. With build up for the past 3-4 weeks. The fact that WWE ignore opportunities like this is criminal. 

The test side has as well. went 1-1 with Australia last series.

Would be great if Australia don't as well.

I feel like the top four is basically done. Just a matter of what order they finish in.

I disagree. Bangladesh have their own life in their hands. Beat Australia tonight then their last game is against Afghanistan, whereas Australia will have England to go. 

The Bucks just lost the AAA tag titles in their very next defence. Against the lucha bros. 

Should have lost at double or nothing.

That photo looks like the former Australian captain Ricky Ponting? but saying that it depends what cricket jumper you like, V neck or whatever

Edit. I was right, that was Ricky Ponting, the name came under when I Googled it lol, one of the great Australian (former) captains of years gone by, not like the shitty Aussie captains nowadays.    

Ponting was a shit captain. McGrath and Warnie set their own fields, so no points for him there tactically. His favourite field change was the classic 'put a fielder where the batsman just hit it' trap. Chasing the game, never dictating it.

Great batsman though

Haven't seen the match but Jericho isn't great nowadays and hasn't been for some time. AEW would be making a mistake by having him as their first champion in my opinion. Not sure Adam Page is a great choice either though. Should've been between Omega, Cody and Moxley.

Jericho wrestled a 5 star match last year and a 4,5 star match (that I thought should have been 5) in january this year. He's not as quick as he was but he's skilful and charismatic like always. 

Jericho and Page are both better wrestlers than Cody or Moxley though. 

In brighter news Dominion at NJPW was fantastic. Dragon lee vs Osprey and Naito vs Ibushi were predictably instant classics. Even Taichi vs Ishii was engaging. I really like Taichi (AKA Japanese Miz) and he really banged hard here. I feel like people are being harsh on the Jericho vs Okada main event. The match wasn't 5 stars, but the pace it was wrestled at was very impressive and the finish left me wanting more. No botches either. The only main card match that disappointed me at all was GoD vs Evil and Sanada. 4 outstanding wrestlers and GoD are very much in the mix for best tag team in the world. But I feel like these 2 teams have wrestled on the big stage so often that they felt the need to do something different, which lead to a story driven, yet more by the numbers medium match. 

Moxley had a great promo and this years G1 looks like it could be the best ever, which is saying a lot!!!! Natio all the way baby.

What about Goldberg though? It was more his fault than Taker's. I've never understood the hype around Goldberg and bringing him back has been dreadful. 

This Showdown even is the worst thing ever. 

Neither should ever wrestle a match again. At least Goldberg doesn't look like hes about to die on the spot when the match has gone 2 min I guess. 

TBH other than a handful of matches carried by his opponents he was never exactly a gifted wrestler. But I understand people loving the larger than life character.

So frustrating. Last 2 years smackdown was the saving grace of wwes main product. 

Put the outstanding wrestlers on Smackdown, with a sprinkling of the big characters on it. 2 hour wrestling show, dominated my matches that go for 10+ minutes. With a bit of shenanigans. 

Put the big characters on Raw, with a smattering of the outstanding wrestlers on raw. 3 hour show with extra shenanigans and things for the Soggy Baguettes from texas. A bit of good wrestling (except every week not once a month)

Split the PPVs again. The current PPV system means we see the same 12 wrestlers every single fucking time, with no time for any mid carders from either brand. The 'wildcard' rule has done the same to each show. 

Split the roster into 3 sections. Great wrestlers, great entertainers,  and guys who are jobbers/tag teams/midcard development (but are happy to be jobbers, not guys you promised huge roles to then shelved.)

Great wrestlers

Andrade, Ricochet, Cesaro, Rey Mysterio, Samoa joe, Aleister black, Ali, Buddy Murphy, Chad Gable, Kofi, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, AJ Styles, Kofi, Drew Mcintyre Daniel Bryan, Fin Balor, Nakamura, Zayn

Great entertainers/big characters (some of these guys can really wrestle as well)

Roman Reigns, The Miz, Barron Corbin, Braun Strowman, EC3, Randy Orton, Lesnar, Lashley, Jeff Hardy, Elias, KO, Bray Wyatt, R Truth, Rusev

Split them up in a rough mix of 80/20 entertainers/ wrestlers on raw and the reverse on smackdown. Everyone else is in a tag team or is a jobber or midcarder. Split them up accordingly If anyone in the mid card wants to leave, let them. Keep your roster efficient and happy. Split the PPVs and make sure your talent are getting time on PPV
 

Takeover 25 was outstanding. NXT takeover is always a gold standard of wresting. Amazing

Strong back on the singles card at takeover and man, what a match. Riddle is starting to really show his class as well

Ladder match was super cool. Other than undisputed era, those teams really needed a takeover spotlight, and everyone really delivered.'

Baszler is the best female heel on the planet.

Breeze. Man. SO wasted on the main roster. They used his and Fandangos promo skills, but those guys fucking rule between the ropes and it was never shown. Back in a huge way. Dream was also excellent in his role as ever.

Adam Cole is one of the best wrestlers in the world. Gargano as well. Those 2 will make sparks fly whenever they collide. A wonderful match, possibly 5 stars again.

Big lesson to be learned here. People don't get younger and Joshua should have taken paydays against Wilder and Fury when they were on the table, even if they expose him. Good luck getting those matches now. 

Stannis the mannis for all true book readers. Such a gangster.
