A great piece from sports nutritionist Anthony Ricciuto. The Top 25 Ways to Pack on Serious Mass.
Yesterday I decided to begin the 10,000 swing challenge, which is simply 10,000 kettlebell swings over a 6 week period. That's an average of just over 238 per day.
As there isn't any restriction as to the weight of the bell, number of hands used or time taken to do them (per workout); I'm just adding a few long sets of 2-handed 16kg swings to each session. That's a nice little conditioning boost along with the usual array of deadlifts, chin-ups and assorted kb work.
Via Om Shanti : an interesting discussion on the adjustments made to yoga routines as a result of wrist pain. There are some great ideas in there, regardless of the initial cause of the injury.
It's been raining all week here, which means two things; indoor workouts and time to enjoy an article or two. Amongst them :
- Articles : Max Misch (aka DieselWeasel) joined the team at Straight to the Bar. His first article - Pull like a strongman - is a great read. Also take a look at Workout gear and Mike Robertson's Hips don't lie.
- Video : a bit of Parkour training in Glasgow, a peek at some rather intense Shaolin training and Edyta Ropek setting a new women's dyno world record.
- Podcasts : a couple to add to your regular subscriptions - KinFit - a regular look into the fitness world and the MBUK Podcast. Plenty of mountainbiking fun.
- Sites : in addition to the ever-growing list of blogs is a collection of fitness-related sites. This week's discoveries included the great martial arts site (take a deep breath) The Polearms of Paulus Hector Mair, TreeClimbing.com (it isn't just for kids) and Cardiac Athletes, which shows that recovery can be half the fun.
- Bonus : A deceptively simple exercise, the Eccentric Abdominal Brace [streaming, 528kb .flv download]. Enjoy.
