Been a long week, I think it might just be that time of year, lots of things happening which do drain your energy. Squats have been going well and this scares me because it means I have to do even more/better each session! It would be easy (and comfortable) to...

I love Fridays for a number of reasons. Not the usual TGI Friday stuff, because I actually love what I do for a living. One of the highlights on Friday is training, and at the moment squatting. My knee has been fairly ordinary since Monday, but thanks to some ...

Everything is feeling good after a decent training effort last week. Recovered well from squats over the weekend (including a shoot around) and love deadlifting on a Monday. I also think the lower volume with the addition of basketball has balanced itself out....

My upper back and hammies are still sore from Monday. The upper back is 100% from the deads and chins, but the hammies would also be a little from basketball. Overall I’m happy with how I’ve recovered after the combo, although I do have some random...
