So if holywood was any good then this bloke would play Thor, Louis-Philippe Jean. He's only 140 kgs so there's probably gonna be enough costumes that'll fit.

Or they could use Glen Ross for some 3D hooooogeness.

Carl Weathers was bigger than most today.
Lundgren is hardly pushing it next to the shower of scrawney homos in the new Predator flick. Even Chuck has size on those fools.

Edit: I fully can't wait for "The Expendables" now.

I'd say you'd get it in fairly easily but rolling around on the ground with it may draw some attention I'd imagine

You put a tennis ball in a sock.:D

You know about using a ball to get at Glutes or calfs etc?
Put it in a sock and it makes it easier to trap the ball between your body and a wall.

Good for the traps, tops of your shoulder neck, external hip rotators (Sort of), the bit between your biceps and triceps. Even a bit of sticky ribs if you don't fancy lying down. Some of these may need a harder ball though. Sliotar or Cricket ball maybe?

Yeah I do a bit of rolling. Never thought to put it in a sock though. Cheers.

And where would you pick one of them in Ireland?

rubadub

€2 shops or petshops might have cheapo hard balls. There would be some sports shops that might do baseballs but I expect they would be very pricey.

I have seen dog toys like this in the €2 shop in dun laoghaire.



I was going to get some for chinups, the ball is very solid.

Dunno, don't care. I have two :D

Elvery's and Arnotts always seem to have random sh!t like that tho.

TommyKnocker

Hi

Elverys definately have hockey balls. Just as good if not as good IMHO and not too pricey.

d'Oracle

Thank you buddy.
I will check it out shortly.

TommyKnocker

Also not too sure if it still exists, but there used to be an American sports shop on the top level (I think) of the St Stephen's Green center which sold baseball balls, bats & catchers mitts.

Might be worth checking if they are still there.

Just found this place in Clontarf also might be worth a look http://drupal.americansportsequipment.com/

I just bought a hockey ball.

It was a toss up between that and a cricket ball, but if I had got the latter I probably just would have ended up throwin leg breaks around the house and smashing something up.

that's where you're wrong. i thought it couldn't possibly live up to what my friends were saying about it, and it blew me the f*ck away. maybe you won't like it, but all I'm saying is it's amazing.

the interesting thing about the ending, despite the fact we're left in suspense about the totem falling or not, is that he knows how he got there. remember he always said you know it's a dream if you can't remember how you got there? we saw him getting off the plane, going through immigration, getting picked up, and going to see his kids.

My Asics runners (GT 2120) are 46.5 and Adidas lifting shoes (Adistar) are 46 2/3 (11 1/2 UK) and both fit fine. Adidas are marginally tighter. You're welcome to try them if you're around Dublin

thanks.
I went for the 11.5 in the end.
Hopefully they arrive tomorrow. Wannawear them on Sunday when I might try a max DL as a treat for my 27th birthday.
Ewww, late twenties only 3 days away

you don't know how he ended up on the plane though. I mean you think you do, but you can't be 100% sure. You also don't know how he washed up on the beach to meet the Asian guy. Basically you have to pick your own ending. It was ok but I wasn't amazed by it, I give it 5.5 on the snobby brian scale.
