Call up their retentions team and say that you want to cancel as you've found a better price / alternative elsewhere. They'll likely offer you something to try and keep you but hold firm and give your notice to cancel. 3-7 days later they'll call you from their outbound retentions team who are...

Just had the task of putting all of his videos up on youtube. Think the 130kg axle FTOH for reps video impressed me the most: In the run up to the competition belt cleans weren't allowed. They made a last minute decision to allow them but Ben still managed to bust out a winning 9 reps...

Just thought I'd share my wonderful order experience with Decathlon as a method of venting! I ordered a bike back at the start of September for next day delivery. A couple of days late, the wrong bike turns up. It was a rather fetching ladies purple number but, nevertheless, the wrong...

I know the feeling of having a long-term bad back. Just wanted to chime in to say I suffered with lower back issues for over 4 years. Mine is better now. In fact, it feels stronger than prior to my issues! I can’t narrow it down to one thing specifically as I tried so many things but I have a...

Thanks for all the comments! Pleasantly surprised that some of you found it useful! Agreed that linking between the videos would be helpful. I'll have a ponder if there's a simple way I could implement that. Thanks again for having a look!

And it was supposed to go into Sports Arena. Great start! Edit: Thanks for moving this to the right section!

Hello! Still a long time lurker, occasional poster on OcUK. I think a few of you are aware of me in this section having bragged about my brother, Ben, who is a rather successful strongman competitor. Whilst not quite as talented as my brother, I do also train but balance that out with a...

Ta muchly. Yep, still doing the KB walks as well as a whole host of other core stuff. Also, I can now actually do reverse crunches rather than just flopping about - which is nice. Do you think it's a matter of my core not firing/engaging/activating or being as weak as kittens or, perhaps...

Hello chaps, Coming up to 3 years now recovering from a back injury. Haven't lifted properly for a rather long time but have been working hard at mobility, single leg bodyweight exercises and on my core. I'm now (relatively) confident I can start adding back in work with the bar on a regular...

Quick update on exploitah aka Ben. He has been rather busy of late and hasn't had the chance to update his log here (or even on his own site) but I thought I'd keep those of you who were interested update-to-date! Ben ended up with a last minute invite to compete at Britain's Strongest Man on...

Terrible top set of squats - felt my form was awful. Girl in weights section - "nice form on those squats" I think "hmmm, maybe it wasn't terrible" Girl continues - "...you should use the foam pad though, stops the bar digging in." Girl's opinion void. ------- Ice, as my phone...

Good thanks. He is off to Canada this weekend for a natural strongman comp. I don't know where they get their funding from but they're paying for all the competitors to fly over there! After that he is hoping to get an invite to World's u105kg. In my completely unbiased (;)) opinion he...
