Review of 30kg Weighted Vest from Thunder Fitness

Notice: The vest being tested in the article has been obtained for the writing of this article. That being said, I will still give my honest opinion about the product. Weighted Vest Fan I'm a big fan of weighted vests. Their practicality in terms of progressiveness of bodyweight training is incomparable. I own a ten-kilogram…

Cooper test – Return to the Core of the Blog

A new dimension If you haven’t read the first article of the blog yet, I recommend reading it first. Now, the thing is, I feel at some level in the same situation as I was three and a half years ago. Outta shape has taken on a new dimension. I also recommend reading an article that defines…

Mental vacation

Man flu My training front has not been very glamorous lately. The hamstring/glute problem is still very annoyingly present, and as I wrote a couple of weeks ago, for this reason, switched my training regimen to more traditional weight lifting and endurance training for a while. Unfortunately, right after the first test day, I got…

Strength and endurance – New kind of training regimen for three months

Hamstring injury still bothering A few weeks ago, I wrote about the annoying hamstring injury. The situation hasn't gotten much better, so quality mobility training has been impossible for the lower limbs. Because of this, I decided that I will devote the next few months to strength training because it doesn't seem to provoke my hamstring problem much. Actually,…

Hamstring and elbow problems – Training on hold

Injuries As unfortunate as it is, injuries are part of physical training. Of course, their prevention is the primary goal, but injuries cannot always be avoided. I had a surprisingly long streak of injury free training. Actually, the whole year has been very consistent and there has been no need to take training breaks due to body…

Back to the grind – What I’ve been up to?

Busy summer The summer holidays are over and it's back to work. The rat race has started again with steady certainty and soon the summer will be just a memory. When I wrote the previous blog post (sorry only finnish), I didn't think that the break would last this long. The summer has been extremely…

Happy Mayday

Glada Vappen! I've taken it easy today, so no blogging. It has been nice just to relax with good food and drink. The weather has also been absolutely gorgeous. I'll be back next week with a new article. For now, I’m going to continue my mellow sunday and go to the May Day sauna. Maybe…

Mobility Training – What is it?

Winds of change I have lately praised a lot in my blog for mobility training. Even so much that I am excited to host a Workshop on the subject in August this year. Especially because of this, I have received questions from several directions as to what the mobility training is in general, and have I “switched…

Why are we getting fat?

Interesting metabolism I have recently studied human metabolism from many angles because I think it is an extremely interesting topic. Metabolism as a whole is a broad concept, and the subject can be studied in great depth and detail if you wish. One thing that particularly interests me about metabolism is why some people gain weight more…
