I really do find the bodybuilding workouts deeply unpleasant, but I can’t really complain since I definitely feel like my body is taking some notice of them. Even if this is just the effect of the first few workouts I am certainly making the most of it. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to go on [...]

Well I’m nearly back where I was pre-Christmas at last. Despite a weekly trip down to London, which cuts a significant chunk out of my week at the moment, tires me out a lot, and leaves me doing all my workouts on consecutive days I still seem to be coping well. That said, my chins [...]

This was another awesome week in the world of Ammi-squats. I had a delayed start to my week due to a few days away (which is going to carry on for the next couple of months) but then powered through the first workout of the week adding five extra reps instead of one. It was [...]

Last week I looked at an introductory study on bone density in female populations. The purpose of the study had been to conclude whether measures of the velocity of sound (VOS) and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), both measured through the heel of the foot could be used to distinguish between groups categorised according to activity [...]

Something I forgot to mention last week was that, with the advent of my better-self (less indication of adrenal fatigue impacting my workouts and health) and the arrival of hard frost and snow in the UK so that I couldn’t dig on the allotment [...]

After a few weeks of studies about sedentary women, the impact resistance training can have on their weight and how good new trainees are at adhering to their training programmes, I have decided to move the topic sideways. The main reason I took up weight training several years ago was because I wanted to be [...]
This has been an amazing week. I think that I might have just finally got over a large amount of the adrenal fatigue I was previously struggling with it. I knew I had a bit of adrenal fatigue. It would have been a miracle if I hadn’t ended up with adrenal fatigue after the amount [...]

[A couple of hours late, but better late than never!] Last week I looked at an analysis of adherence to a strength training intervention in adult women. At the time I was looking at a study that was based on research done for a separate study, so I felt that it would only be right [...]

I finally decided to give into inevitability, after fighting against the 78kg squat with no progression for a week. The point of Hepburn is that you should always feel that you are not at your complete limit of lifting ability. The progress is slow and steady and you should never stall. So the fact that [...]

Last week I looked at a study about sedentary women doing strength training. This week I thought it might be interesting to look at a recent study that considered how well overweight and obese premenopausal women adhere to a two-year twice-weekly weight training intervention. After all, if we’re all going to get out there to [...]
