    Astroturf sled track

    Hi guys, I am thinking of buying a roll of astroturf to lay down on a rubberised floor in the gym downstairs to run sleds on. Anyone know how best to secure it to the ground? Does it even need securing to the ground? Would some strong tape run around the edge be good enough? The stuff i am...

    Pull downs

    Possibly the best ever, you got to lean forward and the angle of pull means no escape it doesn't need much weight to stimulate the back

    Your challenge, if you sign up, is to make progress updates once a week for 12 weeks. That's it. Simple, right? You don't have to do amazing things every week, you might have unexpected setbacks, you might even have to put fitness aside while you deal with life stuff for a few weeks. That's all...

    Pulldowns vs Pullups

I can do 10-11 reps and haven't tried adding weight yet. I've always read that pullups are superior to pulldowns but I find...

I used to do kickbacks but...
