I've only ever watched and you are probably correct. There wil be a tadpole effect with the main body of 10-15 at the front and then a long tail....

That time of year again. I know a couple of people on here either running or indirectly involved through managing/selecting a team. I've had...

I didn't want to start a new thread, and this is linked to a view of the "political" threads so I opted for this one....

Well done! Luckily for me I weigh 62 kgs. Your results suggest a greater percentage of your 78 kgs is muscle.

Another bash at these. There seems to be some gradual improvement with pull-ups, and I hope, if this continues, to target 5 pull-ups of my 78kgs body...
