bskelhorn Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi. My name is Barry and I have been lurking on the forum and the blog for a few weeks now. The advice and support is great and I have today signed up and bought the rebel guide. I really like the structure of the guide and the workouts are perfect. My story is non-dissimilar to those on here already. I was a big kid at school and it carried on into my adult life. Food was a comfort and drink soon followed me down the same path. Before long I was out late drinking with friends and finishing of the night with take-away and the like. Then in late 2009 / early 2010 I started training with my local rugby team. It was hard going at first as I was at my biggest 24st 4lbs (340lbs) and something had to change. Over the last 18 months I have lost 4st (56lbs) and I still want to lose more. For those who are familiar with rugby, my position is a prop (like I would be on the wing right). For those who are not too sure, I am the one in the scrum trying to push the other guys off the ball. I have hit a wall and I was in search of something to help me push to be the best prop I can be. So this brings me back to nerd fitness and you guys. I will be starting a thread on her detailing my workouts and results. I also have a blog that I have recorded the last 18 months on. I have put a link in my sig. So today I started the beginners work out and I loved it. Here’s to the journey and all the people I meet along the way. Cheers Barry Quote Musings from a tight head prop !

mcdrew Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Sup bazza, welcome! A question, do you think people outside the commonwealth know more about rugby union or league? A scrum in league just isn't the same is it?! Quote Link to comment
bskelhorn Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 You are right there. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with league. However Crouch, Touch, Pause....Lean? Just pointless. I would say union is the code that most people will be aware off. More so now with the World Cup going on. Thank you for the warm welcome. Quote Musings from a tight head prop !
