Actually it was my Mrs that said surely if it’s going to make your day easier get 1 when I was being tight about parting with the 600 odd notes 😂,anything for work that’ll make your day easier is not a waste of money end of. 3 things needed to make your day a pleasure and that’s Hot Water Electric reel and an Extreme selection of poles,sometimes it doesn’t feel like work walking round colouring in Windows with the old cans over the ear holes 😂

have you got the energy to do 3 heavy sessions in the gym weight training every week for an hour at a time? plus 20 mins of cardio 3 times a week?3 hours of drumming with a rock/pop band,walk the dog for at least 2 hours a week as well as window cleaning 4 or 5 days a week?

i do and thats with manually reeling in every day.......

I haven't had shoulder issues since I got an electric reel. Prior to this they were regular.

Agreed my old injury as calmed since the hd reel god send in my book.

Dazmond after 6 months on the electric reel 

[Frankybadboy]

i have a electric reel and it was brought by my insurance company to help me get back to work after accident

some days it makes no difference to me as i could pull out 100mts and not move the van all day ,other days it help when your moving to and from,it does help my neck and back i must admit,but i also feel that winding in by hand help to maintain movement/strenght  in my back and shoulders

[Stoots]

These injury's and aches etc do happen over many years. Mine must be down to the 15 years I spent in a warehouse doing manual labour lifting far too much incorrectly day after day.

I have a lower back problem that flares up from time to time. Everyday window cleaning doesn't bother it but if I've been using the gutter vac for the day or bent over pressure washing it will set it off. Same with bending over with a manual Reel or humping the backpack about.

There's no telling daz, he is too stubborn , he said extreme poles were the only thing he's use, now it's slx. Form hot water to cold back to hot.  Mark my words he will come on here showing his love for leccy reels one day.

[Missing Link]

I like the ability to lift the reels out of my van and point them in the direction of travel.  Wor Lass goes one way with her reel hose, I go the other, we meet in the middle.

I tried them fixed for about a week and just didn't like it.  Quite often I'm parked in one direction and I want the hoses facing the other way; so I lift them out and point them that way.

Occasionally, for awkward corners or multiple cars in the way, I'll unhitch the hose reel from the van and carry it beyond the obstacles, unreel the hose and then carry what's left on the reel back to the van and hitch it up.

When your hose reel is fixed, it seems like a lot of fannying about to me.

Luckily enough I don't find lifting a hose reel a problem.

my xtreme poles were great until i snapped 3 sections in normal use.too brittle for me plus they wear out very quickly too.i still use an xtreme 47 for high level work but yes my regular day to day pole is an SLX.far more robust and tough...

i went back to cold because i nearly set my new van on fire when i had a gas leak,i then tried to convince myself that cold water was as good as hot....its not ......hence buying a decent professional and safe diesel heater....

im not ruling out an electric reel in the future but i dont feel the need to buy one at the moment as i dont find reeling in hard work and im not constantly reeling in 10-15 times a day.....i also dont use a gutter vac or do pressure washing....

Actually it was my Mrs that said surely if it’s going to make your day easier get 1 when I was being tight about parting with the 600 odd notes 😂,anything for work that’ll make your day easier is not a waste of money end of. 3 things needed to make your day a pleasure and that’s Hot Water Electric reel and an Extreme selection of poles,sometimes it doesn’t feel like work walking round colouring in Windows with the old cans over the ear holes 😂

M8 I used to be down the gym 5 nights a week reeling hose in is not about strength it’s a repetitive movement that will give you a bad back and shoulder over time,don’t just take it from me just keep reeling in by hand and you’ll find out for yourself in a few years. If I was still on the sustanon dinabol and growth hormone I wouldn’t have felt it but I wasn’t 😂

[dazmond]

i dont take steroids and never would mate......and i wouldnt train 5 days a week,thats just stupid.....

That’s one hell of a stack...
Most chaps that stack like that are pretty serious about it, so what made you stop going 5 times a week?

(Never done gear to be fair, but I know plenty that have and still do...)

[Don Kee]

Depends on your workout.

Muscle isolation then you’re probably ok; I used to prefer 5x5 for bulk so I’d usually stick to 3 days though in fairness.

[Michael Peterson]

Not if your training smart , 5 days a week is easy if your not going flat out I could be doing yoga or kettle bells but if tired focusing on mobility, go with what you feel like

for me 3 hard weight training sessions a week is enough (60 mins each session)plus 20 mins of cardio after these sessions....

i dont include stretching/yoga as i gym session as i do these most days at home either in the morning when i get up or in the evening for 10-15 mins.....

[Michael Peterson]

Ahhh that’s why you train a long time when i strength train it’s only 20 mins lol

[NWH]

I was serious training low reps heavy as you can manage to complete exhaustion,we would do chest all at once just exhausting the muscle,we would do 4 plates either side and drop a 20kilo plate off till we were left with the bar. We trained every muscle like this it’s the way to build mass,then calf’s with chest and that was it the complete workout used to take individually about 15-20 minutes calf’s and chest then on the bike for 30 minutes
