Yesterday in our powerlifting team whatsapp we got to discussing training volume, how much is too much, should we be doing more, and what’s optimal.

Remember that great scene in the Godfather III – ‘just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in’? It seems to be the story of my life with boards.ie. As I’m sure some of you know, I got unceremoniously banned a few months ago, and while my daily moron quotient has dropped […]
