You better thank Daniel and Scratchy as well Mut... they had nothing to do with it but they might get upset if we leave them out. :mrhappy:

Oh yes, you should thank Boo the bear as well, he likes to be involved in such things, he may insist on his photo being posted on the forum, he's like that, he loves publicity. :-)

We had to do a bit of a search to find it; I reckon they must have moved them when I tried before.

Mart.

[mutley 4,498]

Tee shirt has arrived safely Mart.

Here's a couple of shots of the smelly old dog in his new clothes! :mrhappy:

Feeling a bit ruff this morning!

In the wife's domain, enjoying the sun.

The cheque is in the post!

Cheers

Excuse me a sec.... gurgggghh!!!!!

Sorry, I've just been sick after seeing Mutley's hairy legs. :rofl

Nice garden Mutley, mine looks a right mess.

Shame about your grey hair, considering I'm slightly older I still have loads of black. Must be the Klingon Blood Pie, it puts hairs on your chest as well you know.

Glad you like the shirt, delivered to your neck of the woods all the way from Solihull, Tesco's Monkspath to be precise. I had to have it specially made in the end, they don't make 'extra mega hyper large for gigantic bellies. :rofl

Ask Lisa to model it please that would be very nice and wouldn't be so upsetting for my gastrointestinal system. :chuckle:

[B77W 0]

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Sam

:mrhappy:

[MartinW 0]

Did you see Mutleys hairy white legs Sam??? :chuckle:

[mutley 4,498]

Watch it brummy git (Wait for "I'm not Brummie I'm from Solihull"!) My legs are white as they are covered by my working trousers all week not like you work at home in the garden types! :chuckle:

[MartinW 0]

I'm not a brummie, I'm from Solihull, we're posh you know.

Don't worry Mut, my legs are white as well, but much sexier than yours. :-)

Have you noticed lads, how the Mutley shirt is stretched that much by the Mut's torso that our animated hero, (the real Mutley) is almost 3D. :mrhappy:

[mutley 4,498]

So when are you going to do a leg in the challenge Martin? Afraid you might break the controls with those huge biceps :rofl

I love you really :wub

[MartinW 0]

'Challenge'? Oh that thing!

Alas, I haven't even touched my sturdy joystick in a long while. :mrhappy:

Been very busy, traversing the globe, in search of the infamous Mutley tee shirt, writing a best selling novel, honing those gorgeous biceps, fending off all those young busty ladies that insist on following me down the street. :wub

I know what your thinking, 'That must be nice Martin.' But no, it's not, the amount of energy I expend entertaining the fairer sex is enough to power a major city for at least a decade. To be honest, I'm not sure I can carry on providing the service I do. May have to take a sabbatical, and contemplate my navel for a while.

On the subject of biceps, just done three sets for each arm, of one arm, supinating dumbbell curls, and boy are they pumped.

Tonight’s quiz is to find out what I mean by ‘SUPINATING’ curls.

The best answer receives no prize at all.

[mutley 4,498]

WOW the fact you used that word impressed me. I had to look it up.

[soopinayshn] A movement of the forearm in which the palm of the hand is brought to face forwards, so that the thumb is directed away from the body. In this position the radius and ulna lie parallel to each other. It is a much more powerful movement than pronation, and as most people are right-handed, this accounts for the right-hand thread on screws and other such phenomena.

What are you.. some sort of freak?

[ben_davies247 0]

Seems so :mrhappy:

Oh well...we love him so I suppose. :sad:

[MartinW 0]

Actually, the biceps has two functions.

The primary function is to supinate, yes that’s right, not to lift the arm as you probably think. The secondary function is to raise the arm.

If you hold your arm in the position you normally would to show off your biceps to a sexy lady, and then twist the wrist, you will see the bicep contract to rotate the wrist so that the thumb turns away from the body.

Pronation is the other way, and doesn't involve the biceps in fact it's the

Brachialis between the biceps and triceps that contracts in the case of pronation.

In the case of the standing dumbell curl, it is useful because the dumbell clears the legs better as well as exercising both functions.

Anatomy is just another one of the services I provide you know. :mrhappy:

[mutley 4,498]

I've just tried that, you are right!

You will be giving me private tuition next :mrhappy:

No probs Mut, I have learnt and discovered myself, a vast amount regarding training over the years. Which includes my own theories as to the stimulus for Muscular Hypertrophy.

Even the so called experts aren't very well informed, you see, the best scientists in the world are more interested in quantum physics than how to build big muscles, consequently there is some crackpot science around.

Larger muscles aren't just for show, they improve joint stability, increase your metabolic rate, which increases you calorific maintenance level and improves blood flow.

Especially valuable for the elderly as the strain on the joints is minimal and it offsets the most debilitating aspect of aging, which is the loss of muscle tissue.
