I read his first book, but I wasn't much interested in hybrid training at the time. Now that the topic interests me more and is more popular (has anyone mentioned Hyrox?), I'll try rereading it, and this one too.

Thanks!

May as well post this here. 'The Trapani Prosecutor’s Office has requested a 10-year sentence for Antonino Pizzolato, Olympic podium weightlifter in Tokyo and Paris, accused together with three other individuals of sexual assault against a Finnish tourist in July 2022.' https://lapresse.us/news/202...

Just break up the monotony of training. Do something different and have a bit of a play, this is a hobby for most of us after all. Bonus points for designing an environment where people are not worried to do it wrong, or messy, rather than trying to get it "right". I think a week or two (...

I wish I had an off season for my lifters - due to increasingly short qualifying periods, we're always straight into the next block of training. When a longer block does present itself however, re-sensitising to squat variants like higher rep ranges, max reps for time, paused reps and lift offs I f...

Okay, here in Italy the competitions are over and it's time to think about the off-season. How did you manage the off-season? I'll focus on improving back and leg strength, among other things (as technique). Do you have any programs you'd recommend? What do you or your athletes use that have worked ...

What are the reasons behind the new generation of male Chinese lifters lacking the quality we've seen pretty much since the Sydney games? I read the statements of a Chinese coach (I don't remember his name) who complained that the "civilization" of rural areas had reduced the number of yo...

Apparently Davies GBR posted that some lifters in the WWC start book got provisionally suspended right before/at the beginning and thus didn't appear for weigh-in. But it's not public who or how many (?). She said "The start of the competition also saw an announcement of athletes being sanctio...

Nice, thanks!

ELSAYED ABDELRAHMAN Younes EGY underperfomed on the scoreboard, but I think the calls were extermely harsh. IMO the best lifter on the day (pending), but I am not surprised his competition results do not match his training results. We will see what happens as he gets more intl sr comp experience. I...
