And who's turned up fitter than they've ever been?

Geez, I hope that Petracca player and that number 13 work themselves into a bit of shape. They look like they could really be something.

Have a look at Tomlinson, he wants back in the side and a premiership medal, he looks like he’s in ripping form.

He is a beast! 

The Twitter nuffies having a field day with Lever collapsing due to the Covid vaccine. 
My god we live amongst some truly stupid people. 

Besides the blokes in WA, was there anybody missing from training or in rehab?

i remember hearing Burgess last season or the one before that, saying that heat was our friend - the hotter the better. 

Obviously you want the heat training to be controlled, but it has been proven in sports science that this type of training can be extremely beneficial to fitness and performance.

When I was at my fittest, I specifically chose the hottest part of the day to run, as it gave you a heap of benefits with minimal pounding of the joints, which you'd otherwise have to do to get the same amount of stress into the body.

Seemed to work for me, though it's obviously not always too pleasant.

Totally for this, he had a moment, under supervision, it's interesting to test yourself and am sure he doesn't regret it one little bit. He could also be a little extra fatigued from a young bub or even picked up a sniffle from the kid (although exercising with a cold should be a no no). I am so curious about their times, am always searching online as I'm sure some of them have smoking times, but no-one seems to publish.

I am old, 51, and 6 kg overweight, but do 5 1km reps averaging 4m (best 3.50 worst 4.20) in heat up to 38deg here in Sudan (HR ~182). Kills me, need about 4lt of water afterwards and a lie down. Also my intervals are more like 3m... My holy grail is 5km in 20m never got there, best was 4.96km in 19m40s when i did my hamstring, was so [censored].

Tipping Jake was going alot quicker, he'll be fine, personally i hope all the new kids were throwing up by the end of the session... getting to know you so to speak

 

A missing soldier is Jayden Hunt, on Instagram and Twitter last week in a moon boot      didn't see him in any of the photos

Well well well look who’s dropped in for a chat. I hope you loved the premiership and had the scooter decked out in red and blue tassels.

Whats with those man bras? Is there something scientific in why they wear them?

Or is it for scratch match training skins v jumpers?

<edit> Clearly not that - looks like Pink v Blue

They hold the gps monitor

I'm sure i saw him, wandering off into the change rooms.  It was from a distance though.

Maybe old Jakey boy partied a bit long and hard after the GF…? 

I think you're mistaken. That's Lever, second from right, but in his Adelaide blazer.

Yes.  You get a quick glimpse of him (sans moonboot) in the interview with JJ on the MFC website.

Well someone had to say it... Go easy on me!

Removing skinfold tests is really making it tough to see who is and isn't in shape......

By the look of those photos, Tomlinson might have stolen Jack's spot as the angry beast of the team. He wants back in.

Yep if otherwise fit and no vascular related concerns, then you just need to ensure you maintain electrolyte balances and are well hydrated. 

Still it is something you work up to and perhaps Lever went too hard too early. But he will be better for it no doubt!

That is enviable. Im 41 and my best 5km was ~25 minutes. Didnt get to do much interval training as my back and knees finally caved... Now its just walking!
