Can i propose we change the name of this exercise please? As Chris was always recommending it, i will now call it " Sticks Hangs". Or " Sticks Holds". Any opinions? Thanks,Colin.

Thanks Peter. The numbness/pins and needles are going away. So basically now left with sore elbows. Been very busy recently to train much. So last night i was doing something us men dont do well - multitask: Tri-sets making dinner with: Bodyweight exercises in garden eg Pull ups, dips, knee tucks, h...

Thanks Peter. Friday. Woke up way before the alarm clock, thinking about Chris. So just got up and went into my shed. Did shoulders and arms. Plus wiped up the leaks of water that got in due to heavy rain. Been getting back into Hanna Somatics, and using Martha Petersons dvd. In recent weeks, maybe ...

Still feeling very, very sad about Chris. I was re-reading some emails we exchanged. I was very fond of him, and its very hard to take in. Hard to believe, it still feels like a bad dream. I can count on one hand the people in my lifetime who really believed in me. Who really spurred me on, with not...

Yesterday i was away for the day so got the chance to visit a gym, about 45 mins from home. I was very pleased with its facilities. Everything there that a muscleman or powerlifter could ever want. No wonky incline benches, no dodgy dumbbells, and well maintained machines. Plenty of plates. One thin...

Tuesday Another less than stellar workout on pinch. Hmm. Yet the leg workout from hell yesterday was that brutal my hips ached in the evening. It started out with a super easy warm up and then I hit the wall on the heavy stuff. The only other difference to my routine was a short early-ish visit to ...

Sorry ive been away so long. My password, which i cant recall, is on my old laptop ( which i am using right now). I did a cycle of Starting Strength at end of 2018. Currently just doing muscle work 2- 3 times per week. Sometimes do Pilates. Hope you are all well! Colin. Hi Coilin, it is good to see...

This is extremely sad. I am personally devastated with it. Should any of Chris` remaining family and friends read this - i pass on my sincere thoughts and prayers. I will write in again when it has sunk in more. At present i am too sad to put words together. What a loss, what a great terrible loss. ...

Yes i hope there is good news. Bye the way, when we all used to save our pocket money to buy muscle mags at the end of the month, it was really our dreams we were buying. And it was nice to dream! But what makes H&S unique is that i would genuinely recommend it to any teenager today looking for corr...
