Pseudonym 1336 Report post Posted September 23, 2014 Bro where you get your grey nike track pants? I been looking for some with ankle sleeve but can only find the loose ankle ones.Nike store, in Britomart. I had a "oh crap, what do I wear?" moment on the morning of the interview, so raced out and bought these. Although if I'd known how hot it would be in the tent, I'd have just worn shorts and saved myself Nike's exorbitant retail prices (not to mention the whole "ankles up or down?" dilemma). These were very cool Pseu! I wonder if Powerhouse can get one of those mats you used in part 2.They were surprisingly effective - hammies and lunges in particular. But as my camera op said, you could just do them in the kitchen with a dusting cloth, and you'd polish the floor at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of stuff would you like to see?interivews/look into the training of for example, boxers, mma fighters, powerlifters, rugby players, just any kind of athlete in a sport that requires strength training.

Pseudonym 1336 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 So after posting these videos, I've had a number of people contact me, asking where they could find the full programme that Guilhem Cauchois was doing for back and core strength. One of them tracked it down and shared it with me - so a huge thanks to Michael Perkola for the detective work. And an even bigger thanks to Dr Robert Watkins of Watkins Spine, the surgeon who developed the programme, for allowing me to share it with all of you. Enjoy!Trunk Stability Program.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pseudonym 1336 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 Dr Watkins' programme is aimed at physios, and is quite comprehensive, so if you're finding it heavy going, you might find this helpful... Here's the routine Guilhem demonstrated in his video - it's based on Level 3 of Dr Watkins' programme. Dead bug - 3½ mins each side Superman - opposite leg/arm, 15 sec holds for 3 minsSuperman - same side leg/arm, 15 sec holds for 3 mins Bridging - straight leg lift, 15 sec holds for 2 minsBridging - leg lift to side, 15 sec holds for 2 minsBridging - leg circles for 2 mins Planks - 20 claps with partnerWalk your hands up to a pike position, then back downPushups - 20Knee to elbow - 5 each sidePlanks - 20 claps with partnerWalk your hands up to a pike position, then back downHalfway pushups - 20Knee to elbow - 5 each sidePlanks - 20 claps with partner 20 handstand pushups (not sure where this came from - I regard it as optional!)

FUBU 40 Report post Posted March 23, 2015 I saw Zumanity in Las Vegas about 5 years ago. The show was all about kinky sex, I think. It was spectacular and I enjoyed every minute of it. They had aerobatics, two ladies swimming in a water bowl, two fat kinky ladies, and many other cool things. They made it interactive and very entertaining. I really would like to see Totem, one day, hopefully. I found a little clip on the water bowl act: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pseudonym 1336 Report post Posted March 25, 2015 Definitely both. Nah, if you meant while I'm interviewing them, I think I was probably doing it to make me slightly shorter. I'm 6'0, and they were quite a bit less! 1 Bruce Al reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron_R 52 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Did this abs routine on Sunday morning. No weight used on ankles or wrists, just body weight. It felt kinda easy at the time, but I'm feeling a burning type soreness now, two days later. The burning is deep in the core, not on the external abs like I usually hit when doing abs. So it definitely worked me in significantly different ways to a normal ab day. I like it! I think I'll have to try this again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pseudonym 1336 Report post Posted February 25 Okay guys - it's been a while, but we've got another Cirque du Soleil video for you. This time it's with KOOZA, who are currently playing in Auckland (and they've just extended the season to March 23). I saw the show, and like every Cirque show, it's packed full of great acts, great costumes, and great music. Expect to see some amazing feats of fitness, agility and flexibility from the artists. Again, we've split this into two videos. In this first one, I'm talking to Straps aerialist Haley Viloria, who demonstrates some of her stretching and mobility work. Enjoy! 5 PETN, justhell, maccaz and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
