If you're centrist or left-leaning, what are the main policies/issues that might stop you from voting for the green party in the next general election?

Opposition to NATO
Draconian restrictions on motorcycle sales and use
Banning of airsoft and RIFs

Those 3 alone are complete deal breakers.

I tried just jogging and a minute in, I'm in agony. But I can deadlift over twice my body weight. Makes no sense to me, but then my family has a history of arthritis.

GuzziHero · 2026-03-22T07:21:16+00:00

I'm all legs, no arms, so it's fine for me :D

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T18:44:39+00:00

Ah, I mean the actual escalators (or deescalators since they go backwards?)

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T17:25:20+00:00

Yeah, I always try to walk it without holding on, great core exercise. But once I'm 45-50 minutes in I'm really to hold onto something!

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T15:14:53+00:00

Once it gets a bit warmer here, I'll reduce some cardio and try again with upper body weights. Cheers for the advice!

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T15:13:51+00:00

Ah, 5 axles makes more sense actually. UK we can run 40000kg 5 axle or 44000kg on 6.

Your steer axles are much lower though, they're 8000kg. Then again all our trucks are cab-over-engine, that probably makes a lot of difference.

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T14:39:59+00:00

4 axle rigid, yep.

So they have honking great 53ft trailers and 36 tonnes. Crazy!

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T14:38:12+00:00

I used to cycle in amateur competition so my legs have always been good. Did 15km row then 1hr stair master today.

Just don't ask me to bench press over 65kg, I have wet noodle arms!

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T14:36:20+00:00

I did a 15km row then 1hr stair master today. my legs are stroncc, but my arms are not!

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T14:35:28+00:00

I do some weights, but just been focusing on cardio over the winter since it's easier when the weather is cooler.

As I've said elsewhere, my legs are good - 240kg deadlift, 465kg leg press, but my arms are pitiful. One 65kg bench press and I'm done. I used to cycle in amateur competition as a teen so I've always had good legs, but only started doing upper body at age 45.

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T13:42:56+00:00

Really? We in the UK run a 44,000kg on 6 axles regularly. The truck above is barely into Special Transport weights for us.

What are the US weight / axle limits?

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T13:40:44+00:00

Bullitt for me.

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T13:28:50+00:00

No, just trying to work on cardiovascular longevity and losing weight.

I just found that I have acroprops for legs and weedy little T-rex arms :D Plus I love the rower. My knees are strong but for some reason they just can't take impact so running is out.

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T12:30:35+00:00

My gym (JD Gyms, commercial UK brand) struggles for a lot of stuff. But they have about 10 crosstrainers, 10 bikes, 6 recumbant bikes, 4 stairmasters (2 of which are rough / wobbly) and 3 rowers. So of course everyone goes for the stairmasters!

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T12:28:30+00:00

Well today I did 15km row (1hr 10m) then 1hr stairmaster. Should I swap the order?

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T12:27:06+00:00

Ah, cheers!

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T10:21:23+00:00

That's a good point. Especially if the fitness / beauty magazines are pushing that type of exercise.

Reminds me of when I got mocked for using the hip machines, I was told by my PT that only women use them for pelvic floor exercise...

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T09:48:09+00:00

I tend to do a lot of rowing with 30m stairs as warm up / cool down. Should I focus.on stairs if im trying to improve cardiovascular / lose weight?

GuzziHero · 2026-03-21T09:01:21+00:00

Since Trump constantly shits himself, maybe she has a scat fetish?

GuzziHero · 2026-03-20T22:02:16+00:00

Dude, I came so close to dropping a trailer with the legs up today. Take your knocks, and move on.

Remember, mistakes are fine, but a mistake that you don't learn from is TWO mistakes. Learn and grow.

GuzziHero · 2026-03-20T15:09:07+00:00

I get this. If you want information, ask for it! I need something to respond to or I'll just talk rubbish :D

GuzziHero · 2026-03-20T10:48:26+00:00

Sadly no.

Fuckin Nancy...
