“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

God gave men two heads…

And, as the Buff Dudes prove yet again, only enough blood to run one at a time- especially when one is dealing with a gorgeous girl in tight yoga pants: I could not stop laughing at the crack about “powerlifting style”. The problem with powerlifting is,...

The riddle of steel

Everybody’s favourite grumpy strength coach, Mark Rippetoe, wrote up a really superb article the other day in which he pointed out the reality of powerlifting as testable, provable, repeatable science. In other words, powerlifting is strength engineering: In the...

Not quite that simple, mate

This is how lifting bros wish the world worked: I got that from a not-exactly-unattractive lady who’s been sending me some rather interesting WhatsApp messages of late. She knows, of course, that I lift, so make of this what you will. As far as I’m...

Dom’s 100th

I cannot say that Dom’s 100th BroScienceLife video is going to make me any fan of rap music. It still sounds like farts being piped through an amplifier system- and has about the same effect upon my hearing that a broccoli fart would have on your nasal...

The horror… the horror…

There isn’t much that I can think of that is truly more terrifying than really bad deadlift form. Honestly, I’d rather watch that hilariously disgusting scene inThe Evil Dead where one of the deadites stabs a pencil into someone’s ankle, repeatedly,...

No bikinis?!? What the hell?!!

Wednesdays are leg day at the gym for me, which of course means approximately two hours spent doing squats and deadlifts in the crucible of will and steel that is the squat rack. Now, you would think that the worst thing about leg day is, well, the fact that it...

The only people WORSE than CrossFitters

I know it’s hard to believe, but there ARE, in fact, people in the gym who are WORSE than CrossShitters. Our boy Dom breaks it down for you: The only thing he left out was the curl bros. My GOD but I hate those guys. True story: I’d rocked up to the gym...

Nope, it’s still retarded

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the gym- CROSSFIT STRIKES! There is this documentary kicking around on Netflix right now called The Fittest on Earth. Apparently the claim is that CrossFitters are, well, the fittest people anywhere. I’ll believe...

Trap Lord swag

It turns out that the Trap Lord doesn’t just make darkly funny video roasts of gym idiots doing… well, idiotic things. He also has his own apparel line. I bought the lifting TriForce (Water Temple) t-shirt a few weeks ago, and was finally able to work out...
