Since the whole workout lasts until every single card has been flipped, you can go with fewer cards to shorten the workout, or use two decks for a crazy challenge. There are three steps you’ll need to repeat throughout the workout: Flip a card: Each of the...

  13. Camel Milk

    Tried a bit this morning. The price has come down my wife tells me; it's only $25/L, down from $100/L not long ago. First impression; I found it too much on the salty side, not in a nice way (like salted nuts for example). It's touted to have all these different benefits of which controlling...
  14. Mechanical advantage bodybuilding: extend your set intensify your workout.

    None of us want to waste time trying to build muscle. And all of us know that the intensity of a set is felt near its completion rather than its beginning. Knowing this, it would be logical then to take advantage of this fact by extending the set at a point where it’s most optimal and most...

    5 weeks ago in my local strongman gym I was doing some deadlifting, I hit a single at 180kg which is 30kg off my PB and felt a pop like a knuckle cracked so I instantly hit the floor and layed still for a few minutes to see how my body reacted, felt ok until I went to move and the pain was that...
