    Burpees - yay or nay

    I remember back in the mid 80s, my Sister who is a School Teacher and was a Fitness Fanatic explained how Schools had banned P.E. Teachers from getting Students to do Burpees. I think the reason was Lower Back Injuries - the throwing the Feet out behind the Body on going down. The obvious...

    Release the tension in your hamstrings to relieve the pain from your lower back

    Tight gluteal and hamstring muscles can place a lot of stress on your lower back. So even though you feel the pain directly in your lower back region, its origin and cause is more often than not lies within your back side and hamstring muscles. I find a stretch is not enough, or at least not...

    Few years ago I was asked by Mr. Ben Crawely (the general manager/owner of Bulk Nutrients), one of Ausbb sponsors, if I was at all interested in becoming a powerlifter or competing in a powerlifting competition. At the time I said no I was not interested as I knew absolutely nothing about the...

    Frequency vs density training

    I say frequency would win all the time over density. But first let me explain what I mean by frequency and how is it different from density.

    SCIENCE & HEALTH Champion Rope Skippers' Speed And Stamina

    Want to make it in the double dutch big leagues? Better not skip leg day. Or arm day. Or anything day. Because everything about this sport looks immensely difficult.
