I want to say this without bruising any ego's but your lifts are not at all impressive, even as a novice or beginner (and a 1 rep max should not be done as a novice / beginner!). Honestly, as a novice or beginner with likely next to no idea of proper form cues for barbell lifts I would avoid them u...

Maxrip brings up excellent points, especially in terms of optics. My personal preference is Muay Thai, with a minimal amount of grappling to deal with anything that ends up on the ground. Your specific tasking might affect your preference. I spent my formative years in a filthy zone on footbeat, whe...

Hey guys, how do your plan and use variety in HIC training. I started to rotate between Fobbit intervals (bad weather, inside) and Apex hills (doing rather Apex steps in a stadium, due to injury and not be able to sprint now). Do you plan those trainings or just pick one from the vault in the book ...

Totally understand that Starting Strength and linear progression is completely different than frequent sub maximal loading. Just t...

Great job. Interesting to see IF used with TB protocols.

Everything you ask is spelled out in the book. Re...

Does kefir make anyone else sick? started drinking a couple glasses a day, and about 4-5 days in developed strep-like sore throat and some ongoing stomach discomfort. Discontinued, and one day later my throat feels practically normal.

Plank & Shank should be a big help here. Maybe even with a weight vest.

I didn't know military service was mandatory in Norway...interesting. Do you have some choice over what trade you get into, how do they place you?
