I hear you. I always endorse full range of motion for the maximum benefit of the exercise, but if you are just using them as a warm up it's not as important.

Also, I will be posting my results on the 3 tests at some point out of curiosity. It has been a while since I have done them.

Ahah good lad. Why does your form need some serious improvement?

Hey guys. I'm bored, plain and simply. So I decided to make a fitness thread where we collectively measure our strength across some basic fitness tests, as well as gradually improve upon what we can do by using this thread as a means of holding ourselves accountable. Test 1: The push-up test...

Synopsis: Rosamund and Joseph bond and more members of the class are introduced. The tour moves onto a science facility of the university. The Lymborough University of Tickling - Rosamund and Joseph. The room contains only the very essentials. An oven, a stove, a refridgerator and freezer...

Thank you for the feedback. I will continue with a continuation of the introductory part. The Lymborough University of Tickling (continued) Rosamund's cheeks turn a bright, noticeable red. "Goodness" she mutters, "Who'd have thought a university course would be so perfect". Joseph sticks...

Greetings, folks! I got bored and decided to write a story. It's entirely improvisational, all written on-the-go in the space of approximately 15-20 minutes. It is based in a fictional town known as Lymborough, with an undisclosed location (though you can pretend it's England, as I too am from...

Hi there. Thank you for your question. Gluten intolerance is a common issue among many populations, much like lactose intolerance, as technically speaking they are "unnatural". However many people are able to get away with consuming gluten without any issues, so long as there is no underlying...

12th February 2017 - Can veganism work for athletic performance? Firstly it is important to establish what veganism is. For those unaware, veganism is a lifestyle which excludes products deriving from the animal kingdom, extending to non-food items such as animal-derived cosmetics and...

Hi there. Thank you for your question. Your goal weight is reasonable and you have the right idea in reducing body fat to increase athletic performance. With regard to functional athletic performance, e.g. vertical leap, excess body fat will make this more difficult. You also have an...

10th February 2017 - Pull Ups vs. Chin Ups? I'll start off with a very basic exercise question that many people ask, and that is generally along the lines of: which is more effective, pull ups or chin ups?. Firstly, for those unaware, the primary difference between each movement is grip...

Hi guys. The previous thread did not go according to plan so I have made a new one. In this series you can expect regular updates on various tips and tricks I believe to be highly beneficial to use in one's fitness and nutrition endeavours, coming from a fellow personal trainer and...

Hi guys. I'll be making a new thread seeing as Myriads will not permit me to delete this one due to its popularity. The initial intention of this thread went completely awry and it seems pointless to have to sift through an unrelated fued before getting to the actual purpose. I would appreciate...

I do not believe I am being an ass by any means, Wolf. I am merely trying to provide a helpful thread, which went awry after I was needlessly asked to justify myself to unusual lengths. However I burn a very negligible amount of calories as the energy I exert from typing is minimal. I would...

I am already in the industry and understand the implications very well, thank you. I do not need the lecture as all I am doing here is providing a thread on randomly generated helpful snippets of advice. It is unwarranted and unnecessary.
