Compared to a mars bar?

I wouldn't call a mars bar a protein bar though.

Its a very rare occasion I'd eat a protein bar, this could be the 2nd one ever. Are they all this high in carbs?

Most are either high in carbs or high in ****e fats. A lot of them are basically mars bars with protein added in. Try quest bars, should be stocked in most supplement shops.

Ah no, I wouldn't normaly bother with them to be honest. The conscience of having them by tea in work got me though. I'll just eat something else next time.

Cheers. Not sure I'll bother though. I'm usually one for whole food; meat and eggs for protein.

I probably should have just drank a pint of milk

Hmm anyone tried turkey sausages?

I normaly get turkey rasher for part of my breakfast, but today saw turkey sausages aswell so picked up a pack. Be nice to add sausage's back into my diet.

Really depends on the brand, but they're alright.

Capital strength and fitness on south circular in Dublin looks good, oly lifting gym if youre into that sort of thing.

Someone be my lifting friend. There's about three people in Raw who know how to spot a bench correctly...

Inspector Coptoor

Trained in Gold's Gym Venice Beach, CA today.

It's some set up, every conceivable BB machine, DBs up to 180lbs, outdoor gym etc.

Weird array of users/members.
There were a few absolute mutants there, 5'10", 300lbs, shredded, just unreal to see these guys in person.

Great gym but don't think I'd be a member there if I lived in Santa Monica.

Have you seen the scene in 'Bigger Faster Stronger' when he goes to Golds? Admittedly he only picks out one person to interview and it was obviously a carefully chosen person but its crazy to see.

Americans are weird, and by and large, dont get 'it'.

More then likely I'll be a member from monday too. Lets all hold hands and do my 135 days of Gainzz project together.

Zombienosh

So as well a joining a new gym, I might (fingers crossed) have a job for the first time in a long time over the next week or so.

I don't recommend holding hands with Nervous.... he's one of those 'good touch > bad touch' kind of guys

Yeah, I've seen it & they are SO weird.

There are very few normal/regular sized Americans
They're either in shape or horribly out of shape.

Anyone here heard of or tried fighter food? Someone told me about it last night sounds good could save a lot of hassle in cooking. Wasthinking maybe I'll try it during the week.

Strawberry & cream
Rhubard & custard
Choc coconut

They would be my favourites. Tbh most of them are nice bar cinnamon swirl. Can't stand cinnamon.

EDIT: Choc cherry is nice as well if you like black forest. I think they have a sample bundle now

Duck's hoop

Was gonna order that swirl. What about the butterscotch?

Was wondering the same myself there is no mention of cost on the website. I've emailed them asking a few questions waiting to hear back.

Do you have to order 6 lunches and 6 dinners? I noticed that aswell I wouldn't have an interest in ordering that much really.

Blacktie.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get a singlet around Dublin and a rough price range?

Zombienosh

SO yeah joined raw today, had a quick session trying to find my way around. It's a good place, seen a lot of things I want to do that I couldn't in my old gym. Fun times ahead.

Steds = steroids ?
Haven't seen that before. I'm sure there's a nursery rhyme for wannabe swole kids there;

PEDs and Steds will make you swole
But 'roids just give you an itchy hole!

Someone needs to get the finger out and start organizing another meet up.
Bagsy not me.

Mr. Manager

I hear Malta's a pretty good spot for Boards meet ups...
