  1. Ok, this is it, I've got to focus more on my revision. My exams are only 2 months away so I'm going to start revising 2 hours a night. I'll have to do less guitar playing, tv watching and alas, working out.

      4-12 minute workouts!

      I've taken to doing a few sets of different exercises between my revision sessions haha.

  2. I've found I sometimes have to choose between my guitar and my fitness if I've got no time, but I still love playing and I try to fit in at least 20 minutes a day.
  3. Ok, took a day off to relax on the workout front and had a cheeky brownie as a treat. Get back into it tomorrow. SPARTANS NEVER SURRENDER!

      Seriously....don't make her hahaha

  4. I've done some more research and re-thought. I think a better option than the RA for me would be the Royal Military Police. I've always been interested in policing and I'd love to get into Close Protection.
  5. I had no idea so much math was involved in the artillery! Math is my mortal enemy so I may have to rethink.. Of course, I still have other career options open to me that are non-military related. We shall see.
  6. Thanks gentlemen, I'm wanting to join the British Army as an artillery officer, but I won't be applying for another 6/7 years as I want to do a degree, A levels and perhaps a masters as well.
  7. So, after an interesting conversation with I-Jo, I was wondering whether anyone here is in the military, which role do you do, and what advice would you give to someone who wants to apply?
  8. I'm looking forward to Catching Fire and the Desolation of Smaug. I feel like I've earned the nerd badge of honour by watching the LotR trilogy and The Hobbit.
  9. Thank you very much. What did you decide to do instead of the Marines?
  10. I'm planning on joining the British Army as an officer either in the Artillery or the Royal Marines. Unfortunately women can't fight on the front lines yet, but I won't be applying for a few years so lets hope. What's VMI? And he was a brave man nonetheless, regardless of the way he died.
  11. All the brave men and women who died fighting for their countries will be remembered. RIP. Are you in the Marines?
  12. I've got a Strat rip off, its my first guitar but I'm gathering the funds for a J5 Telecaster or a Dean Michael Amott Tyrant. I love the sound of those humbucker pick-ups. My guitar is decent enough for the simple stuff I can play but in a year or so, I think I'll want to get a better tone.
  13. Just completed 2 rounds of the Spartacus workout from MensHealth *wipes sweat from brow with mop* This is intense.

  14. Oh god I hate revision. A nice workout should cheer me up.

  15. I may be wrong, but perhaps your form is incorrect? If not, keep going and your strength will slowly increase.
  16. I know what you guys mean, its been getting to the point where I have to pick between my school work, my guitar playing and my fitness.
  17. Nothing beats homemade sweet and sour pork with fresh noodles.
  18. I have just overdosed on chocolate brownies that I made yesterday. I was doing so well but I've been eating non-stop lately and I don't know how to stop.

      Read Steve's snacking article. Either stop snacking or choose better options.

      It's probably run off from your epic cheat day/being sick last week. Give the brownies away!

  19. Today seems like a good day for 20 minutes of calisthenics and perhaps try the mighty squat challenge again.

  20. Wow, over the past few weeks, the weight loss and muscle building has really made me more confident about my body. I'm thinking about getting some shorts and a bikini for the summer. I've even started wearing old baggy t-shirts to bed instead of pj's because I don't hate my legs as much anymore!

      Awesome! I can't wait to be doing that!

      I was thinking that same thing last night :-)

  21. Spending the whole day chilling with my guitar.

  22. Nothing like watching Skyfall to get me motivated to work on my Assassin skills.

      Skyfall and Casino Royal!

  24. And here I am thinking cycling 14 miles every Saturday was an achievement. I need to cycle more.
