i think this'll be the last post from me on this thread...
i'd just like to say a huge thank-you to Carl for putting in the time and effort to help us out with all the nutrition and weight training stuff.
for me in particular, its helped me with the way i train in a lot of positive ways, and has helped put a bit of the enjoyment back in my gymwork again. i'll get back in the gym now and start trying to get my weights up without the distraction of training
our programs really helped me carl, just so you know... i used to have a bit of pace when i was young but generally for the last few years i've been middle of the pack and if i get caught out of position i could kiss most runaways goodbye if the forward was fast. but this last comp, i did pretty well in our speed tests and beat quite a few guys that have been faster than me for years, and more importantly i dont remember getting caught out for speed in the games once... couple of close calls
but i didn't feel vulnerable to fast forwards like i have in the last couple of comps. (and thats saying a lot considering every bugger there was sporting the latest fibre fins of whichever type and i had some 10 year old alas... quite intimidating at the beginning of the comp)
i'm 100% sure the training program you put me on had a lot to do with my improved speed. so, good work carl, thanks a bunch mate! i recommend you to the next porridge munching nutter.
