Tony I am a 53 year old male that has recently decended from 220lbs to 204. I am very much interested in beginning the kettlebell but am very confused on weight I need to use? Can you please advise?
With reference to My 3 Favorite Set and Rep Schemes for Fast Muscle Gains article, I didn’t find any specific exercise for shoulders, even military press as well. Is it intentional?
Tony I am a 53 year old male that has recently been dieting and have descended from 221 lbs. down to 204. I am very much interested in purchasing a kettlebell but have no idea what weight to purchase to begin my work outs. Using your videos to begin my quest. Can you please advise?
Hey Tony
Great series on fixing your squat wows. I’m having similar issues. I missed a max attempt yesterday when I did a mock meet. https://youtu.be/xtwbFR0oAPM
I couldn’t keep my knees from caving in. So I’m def going to implement some of your suggestions this cycle!
hey Tony … i’m a 50 year old woman who’s had trouble throughout her body for many years with scans and labral hip tear repair doing nothing. I’m now thinking that I may have femoroacetabular hip impingement because of the ongoing low back pain, pinching pain in the front of my hip and aches through my glutes and am I’m trying to sort this out myself. I was therefore very interested in your article “http://blog.mapmyrun.com/3-steps-bulletproof-hips/”. However, when you’re doing the stretching at the beginning, should I bounce like you do in the video as I’ve read previously that that’s very bad for you? Many thanks 🙂
Hi Tracy – thanks for reaching out! I think when you say “bouncing” you’re referring to going through a range of motion for reps instead of holding a stretch, which is fine as long as it’s under control. But if you have FAI, I wouldn’t recommend some of those stretches, including the kneeling glute mobilization at the start of the video. You have structural changes to your hip bones, and you can’t stretch bone! Where are you located? Perhaps I could refer you to the coach or PT who I know.

The colder months and autumn/fall and winter seasons can be hard for many reasons.
Unrelenting bad weather and lack of daylight can often make us feel poorly and fatigued,
even if we’re otherwise doing our best to look after ourselves.
Exercise and diet are important at any time of year, but more so now as we turn to
comfort foods (hence the title of my email) and stop moving around as much as we
should. Taking a step back to re-evaluate is important this time of year, so we can not
only think clearly, but make sure we’ve got the balance right. Eating well, sleeping right
and making sure we relax are key, but are there other steps we can take?
Having worked in healthcare the last decade, I’ve seen what one or two harsh winters

Lately, I’ve been researching and writing a number of different articles on the best

Would there be any chance at all you’d be open to an article from me?
When I was a teenager I broke my leg playing hockey. I was never going to do well in the sport,
but I loved playing it and breaking my leg meant I could not play the game again. Since then I’ve
dedicated a lot of my thinking on how we can prevent sports injuries.
My name is Lucy and I’m writing because I’d love to contribute a full article on four ways to
prevent sports injuries. This ranges from physical and mental preparation to warm up exercises
and smart training. However, some are better at protecting a person from injury than others and
I’d love to cover some of these.
I’m sure your readers will find this article intriguing and useful when you publish it on DOMAIN. All I’d ask for in return is a mention of a site I’ve worked on before within the resources.

Hello Tony,
I came across your website and this blog when browsing strength-relates websites. Reading ‘About Tony’ I found, that we have quite similar interests and also similar bodyweight. I am a bit older than you, I will turn 60 next week… 🙂 Judging from your profile and reading your benchpress / squat records, however I admit that you are much stronger than I. Congrats on your achievements and on your handsome built! I also lift, at my modest home gym, but on a much lower scale than a professional sportsman since I am working as an Electronics Engineer for a large German company. I am a big fan of Metal music as well – that’s why your profile woke my particular interest. My favourite bands? Too many to mention… my favourite Metal genres are: Power Metal (good when working out, bands such as Sabaton from Sweden), Folk Metal (Ensiferum, Amorphis), Pagan Metal (i.e. Moonsorrow), Old School (i.e. Manowar, Judas Priest, Accept), Epic Metal (i.e. Equilibrium) and many more! Other interests include Amateur Radio; my radio-call is DL2GAN. Read more at http://www.qrz.com -> Enter query by callsign -> DL2GAN. Best greetings from Germany, stay strong (wouldn’t doubt that), stay safe and healthy, of course!
Hey Tony, I love the blog!
Thanks Tom! Good to hear from you.
