Loving my new Kayanos I bought aaaages ago at DFO at 50% off.

All black- except for white around the edge of the soles.


Perfect imo, dont like all black runners.

Hi guys,
I’m going into a development program at Carlton and I have to undergo a screening. Does anyone know what takes place in a screening?

I thought nearly all runners have white soles.

Sports stuff I always go for heaps of colour, except for runners, look for black every time.

I always try to buy stuff on sale in advance I know I'll need at some stage even if it's 6+ months away.

I did the state screening camp many many moons ago.

Mine was basically a mini draft camp. Beep, vertical, 20m sprint, agility.

There is also a full medical and interview.

I would assume it’s all similar, best of luck! Let us know how it goes.

I believe they’ve replaced the beep test with the yo-yo test now.

I believe they’ve replaced the beep test with the yo-yo test now.

Used to do a beep and 3km, both cardio tests, yo yo replaced the beep for a lactate test I believe (someone more sports sciency probably knows better).

Never done a yo yo but I’ve been told they are worse.

I had a ripping beep back in the day... oh how it goes quick hahaha

Wth is the yo-yo test

I think I still have PTSD flashbacks every time I hear that beep test recording

 

[Shell]

Still dunno what the yo yo test is.

Take the beep test >> 1.6km run anyday.

Least you can quit the former when you want.

Beep test lasts substantially longer and this is much more pain if you’re trying properly

Just had some ice cream

I actually don’t really like ice cream but I actually had some tonight too... weird.

8 week training block of 6 days a week with two monster sessions finished up yesterday. Took the day off today, think I wanted it mentally but needed it physically, really feeling 8 straight weeks of niggles and aches.

Just had some ice cream

Get waffle cone and put ice magic init. Pop it in a glass and place in freezer. Once hardened place ice cream in cone as per usual.

Weighed myself for the first time in a long time yesterday... Added 5kgs to my frame. 98.5kgs now... Never, ever imagined id get near the 100kg mark.

/or is that bad

Ahhhh, good question. I was suprised. I assumed id probably lose weight with the volume and intensity of training ive been doing but its been a real mix of stuff with alot of heavy lifting. I feel leaner and can see size across my chest and shoulders has increased (which was always a struggle).

I dont put much value in pure weight as a metric so im not really fussed either way. I just thought it was interesting. Most who know me would never ever pick i was north of 90kgs.

I guess measurements are the only real way to go by...


Lol its funny that isnt it.. a guy puts on weight, its usually a good thing. Woman... opposite.

Unless they're a hardcore bodybuilder.

Might do a dexa scan again at some point, interesting insight on my last one.
