While my assorted injuries have played havoc with my powerlifting performance, they have freed up time to research different training programs and to design spreadsheet templates to accompany them. The powerlifting program spreadsheet I’m sharing here is the Inverse Juggernaut method template. Inverse Juggernaut Blank Template (excel version) Inverse Juggernaut...

I have a very low centre of gravity and when you add to that a set of dodgy knees and total fear of falling flat on my face, you may not be surprised to hear that while I may wobble, I rarely fall down. So last week came as a...

With my warriorwoman moniker I feel it is my duty to dabble in occasional warrior arts. Here I can be seen swinging an ancient mace (or gada) in the style of the Hindu god Hanuman. My mace has a slightly modern twist by nature of its bright yellow rubber handle,...

I’ve spent much of the last year becoming acquainted with cold water, in some cases extremely cold water, and my life has become noticeably enriched as a result. It started back in May. I was feeling a bit aimless, in need of a new challenge. Not wanting to sign up...
