Great idea, had never though of that. Looks like you can make one pretty cheaply.

I don’t train for work, just for general fitness. After a few lower back injuries a year ago (pre TB) dropped DL completely and currently run a Bench / Squat / WCU cluster. My HICs are mainly focussed on KB swings and sprints (Apex Hills, ME2, Single handed swings). For me personally I don’t think I...

Aged 29/30 I went from being overweight and seriously unfit (no exercise) to running a half marathon in 9 months. T...

Good luck with the BB. I remember before starting TB I looked at BB and was nervous about not doing weights for so long but the big SE weeks killed me and had me retching. It’s deceiving!
