Looking to feed my gym equipment buying habit, I have been feverishly researching weighted vests (and I have since bought one, used it a ton and reviewed it here!) I love training with barbells – but sometimes it is good to have OPTIONS, and I found myself keen to do weighted exercises (mainly pull-ups initially) …
Having bought a Bulldog weighted vest recently I’ve been looking for different ways to incorporate it in to my training. Mainly just to play with the latest toy, but also to see just how versatile a weighted vest like that really is. One recurring topic across Reddit and various other fitness forums is around the …
As we entered a new year I was keen to add some new challenges to my agenda – mainly in two areas I have generally been pretty inconsistent in training: running, and calisthenics. And what better way to try and train them BOTH than by adding a nice, shiny (metaphorically in this case!) bit of …

As the heaviest lift for almost everyone it’s probably my ego that enjoys it… Even putting the ego-mania to one side the deadlift is a fantastic exercise which recruits an absolute ton of muscle all through the body. All with the most natural range of motion …
I’ve owned my ATX power rack since February 2017 so it’s fair to say I’ve had plenty of time to get to know it! Having seen and tried to respond to a number of posts on various fitness forums about the ATX brand and their products which are not well known online I thought I would pull together …
Deep in the British winter I am now in full blown “must heat the garage” mode. Every time I step in to my garage gym I am reminded just how cold it can get in the UK… Global warming obviously not materialising in my postcode at the moment. There are a few easy and cheap …
So you want to try a Theragun or Hyperice Hypervolt, but aren’t too sure you want to spend upwards of £300? Me either. Still, I was desperate to get my hands on these percussive massage/torture(!) devices out in real life so I picked up a budget massage gun here in the UK (*ad) for the tidy sum of £69.99. I’ve …
