Lifting
This page is all about lifting. I love lifting weights and getting strong :)
At present all my blog posts relate to lifting so you can visit the blog page for lifting related posts.
Lifting hiatus
As of 1st March 2024, I have not lifted weights seriously for almost 2 years! This is because I am using most of my time to build a home gym! gua href="/blog/building-a-garden-gym">You can read more how I am building my garden gym.
My Personal Conjugate Method Style Program
As of 27th Nov 2021 I'm doing my own personal advance strength training program based on the conjugate method. You can use it and tweak it yourself: visit the Sample Conjugate Method page.
