Im in Warrington mate. Was a nod for a little while a couple of years ago, left my application for RMR a bit too late to get on last years intake so making sure everything is squared away this time.

I doubt you will be allowed to use that mate, just crack on with the old fashioned, time-consuming, mind-numbingly boring bit of cotton wool, bit of Kiwi black/brown, bit of water method. Works a treat.

Take a loo...

Cheers 803troop, I took a quick look at that website and spent half of last night trying to do handstands

Seriously though, good website. The resources are out there (www.rosstraining.com and www.rossboxing.com are 2 great examples)
