One of my favorite workouts — which my buddy calls “a sicko workout” — is 30 minutes of weighted step ups, no headphones, no music, no TV in the background. Just you, the weight, and a box!
Have a teammate who will fire up the speakers in our gym for my functional fitness class but she plays emo shit which is worse than silence so I allow it…
You guys are killin’ me!!! First Kyle touts his barefoot weighted hill climbs, then Sam chimes in to second that insanity, and Lou has to up the ante with the silent treatment, while I’m trying to learn how to walk again, all while salivating over these once regular workouts. I guess the old man is gonna have to heal faster and get back on it! Bravo gents, for the great workouts and keeping us all inspired. Ha. Tim.
“Generating momentum from the back leg when stepping up”
This! I constantly have to check myself from ‘cheating’ by using momentum to reduce focal muscle work. Slowing down is key. I’ve even stopped “pushing off” from the wall during my lap swims so every stroke is a real one.
Just give me half a chance to watch your videos before you come out with something else would you. 💪
Maybe you should be on one of those videos so you don’t have to watch it…
😂👊🏻

Hahaha love it. Stay sicko bro 👊🏻
I like this. I can only train in silence, and with no glowing screens in site. It is sort of a ritual.
Same. No music/tech of any kind for any workout.

😂😂😂 appreciate you Tim. Best of luck in the healing process. Stay resilient brother 👊🏻
Super excited about this one! Setting a daily reminder on my phone right now.

Great writing/advice as always, Kyle!
Thank you brother!
20" seems really high for a short person like me (5'-4"). Is it realistic or what height would you recommend for someone my size?
I’d go down to 12/16” to start. If you become comfortable there, you could increase height assuming form is maintained.
