Love it! I got mine this week as well. I got Enchanted evening and the team up with Erin Vest. All of them were beautiful though, it was so hard to choose.

Just received my new signed playmat by Seb McKinnon :)!

I had the choice of a Squat Rack or a Weight Vest and I went with a Weight Vest that goes up to 150 pounds. That plus Single Leg Squats and Nordic Leg Curls can give you all the lwg work you need :D

Just entered another lockdown where I live (in Australia), so I can't access the gym (again). As this has become ridiculous at this point, I decided to quit free weights and move on to trying to building muscle through calisthenics. The idea is that even when lockdowns end altogether I can still save money by not spending it on gym fees.

However when navigating various bodyweight fitness guides, it's become apparent that it's not feasible to create hypertrophy for legs and back without free weights (i.e. squats and deadlifts). Given that, is it worth it to invest in a cheap squat rack and barbell w/ weights, and would I still save money on gym fees this way? Are there any alternatives?

Is it worth it to fork over money for a squat rack?

For rolling newbies (or those looking for a softer touch), Gaiam Restore’s medium-density roller has a bit more give than a firm EPP roller but still maintains its shape under pressure.

Foam roller - drastically reduced my injuries when I combined it with my stretching routine

Yesterday I went out for a casual 6 mile. Midway through the first mile I realized that I’m not lifting my legs much (something which my high school track coach yelled at us to do all the time), and start lifting up my knees more as a result. I ended up running 6:10 pace on the 6 mile, a solid 20-35 seconds faster than I’ll usually take those kind of runs, and yet, my legs and body somehow felt less tired afterwards. Similarly, I tried picking up my knees more on my easy 4 miles again today. Once again, my pace drops a considerable 15-20 seconds without any extra considerable effort.
Now obviously, I can’t automatically attribute simply picking up my knees as the sole cause of having good runs the past 2 days. There could’ve been tons of factors. If anything I’ll need to keep working on my form for a few weeks to see if it makes any difference. However, it got me thinking. Have there ever been any small changes you’ve made, whether to your lifestyle habits, form, running habits, etc. that have improved your runs in any way?
