I had this issue in my gym too, so I’m interested to hear other people’s solutions. My current answer to the problem is to lie flat across either a swiss ball or a bench with my heels jammed under something (e.g the rack) and my torso suspended parallel to the ground. I make the exercise harder by m...

Super useful, thanks. I don't actually adjust my hands before jerking (that sounded weird) - I find if I just launch the bar from the rack position it all sort of works itself out - so I've never really tried this.

Thanks again, will give it a go!

Hey guys, I saw this post a while back and decided to give it a go - it's a lot of fun. I've been cleaning before each set of presses like Grouchy. So here is a question: how do you guys transition from the front rack position after cleaning, to the bottom position of the press? After cleaning, the ...

@barkadion to be honest I started back running on a treadmill so there was a clock in front of me and I could roughly time it. It doesn't take long to get a feel for it. These days I'll quickly check in on my watch now and again but I don't think too hard about it. I'd be astonished if my cadence is...

Late to the party but thought I'd chip in. I'm FAR from an expert here but have had my own long journey with niggles and injuries while running. So the single most useful tip I ever got was to watch my cadence: aim for 3 steps a second. If you watch long distance runners at the olympics etc., you'll...

This is a non-standard approach, but has worked well for me over the last block or so (took my pull up numbers from ~5 to ~10). It actually came about because I was really squeezed for time - I wanted to do extra sets (4 or 5) on the press and squat, and still wanted to keep the pull ups in the fram...

Thanks J-Madd! Great book, by the way - really useful

It's nice to take snapshots every now and then so you can look back and see how far you have come. The first image is my heart rate during my first ever LSS run back in late September at the start of base building. It was a 30 minute treadmill run at 6kph, 2%incline, aiming for an average heart rate...

Hi all, Migrating from Reddit, where I've been really impressed with the community and quality of support and information sharing. You are an inspiring bunch. Me : I'm a 33 y.o. living in the UK. I'm not in the forces, though I was looking to join the Royal Marines Reserves a while back, which is wh...
