“No pain…No pain…NO PAIN!”

“There IS no tomorrow!!”

I challenge you to watch both of these clips and not feel some kind of rush to go and work out like a monster.

It’s a tough call which one’s my favourite…which is yours?

Personally I’m leaning towards Rocky 4 – there’s just something ridiculously manly about chopping wood in the snow. Also I love the bit where Ivan Drago is smashing the hell out of the punch pad and those meaningless big digital numbers appear on the screen (in a very 80s kind of way).

It reminded me of an arcade game I played years ago called ‘Sonic Blast Man’…where you punch a pad with a boxing glove as hard as you can and try to beat the high score (I never got close, sadly).

Man I love Rocky – they don’t make ‘em like that anymore (except Rocky 6 of course, which was pretty recent).

Grrrrr!!!! No pain! No pain!
