With the addition of bands and using a small towel for pulldowns/ rowing - this is a nice little setup! Selfpowered Tabata on on the treadmill is a good warm-up!

Found this on the web:

Tapered wrist roller

(mmm, might need to invest in a lathe)

Advantage over a normal roller? It allows you to keep the wrists inline with the arms!

Slightly modified, of course.

2013-12-07T23:29:00.001+00:00

Finally - won one on Ebay...

for the princely sum of £46.50 incl. delivery.

Original? Nah.

Top of the range? Nah.

Effective? Hell yeah!

I did think, at first, it would aggravate my knee - but funnily enough after the second session my knee felt better and was less swollen than usual: might have been a lymph drainage issue!

Homemade Gym Stuff: Lanza's Gran Castillo Gym - Owned

2013-09-28T21:07:00.000+01:00

From being relatively spoilt by the hotel gym in Cuba, weights wise, - at first sight 'the Lanza Hotel Gym' looked a little under resourced. Looks can be deceiving - no excuses.

Obligatory "Me in the Gym" shot

Keys to the Gym - 'in b4 7am'

10 days straight - only saw a nutty German Fraulein

...and an English kid doing sit-ups

Weights were a little limited

Until I disassembled a DB, making the steps a little smoother

Oh, and the leftover bits made a handy "Club-bell"

for some shoulder re-hab

Improv 1 - stands for push-pressing

Improv 2 - reverse rows

Bounce - bounce - bounce...

Plyometric work

Breakfast round two, after a full English,

Salmon & croissant

Dinner - salmon & caviar starters

...fillet for mains - get in!

Homemade Gym Stuff: DIY PowerWheel Redux

2013-09-16T23:42:00.000+01:00

If you use a pair of these -

and remove the axles... this becomes a lot easier to make

& sexier!

In fact you could fashion a short tube axle (9/16ID) thread it [Left + Right hand],

add a couple of washers and use the pedals as-is. Very slick.

PowerWheel - Pikes & Press-up Walks

Around £12/$20 a pair: less welding and more "Go,go..."

Homemade Gym Stuff: Rob’s 2013 “Mad”4 in1 Marathon Challenge

2013-09-15T19:59:00.001+01:00

CID’s Hospices and Marie Cure Cancer Care beneficiaries of Rob’s 2013 “Mad”4 in1 Marathon Challenge

Rob training hard for his Mad Marathon Challenge

Rob Russell was an accomplished athlete before a serious car crash stopped his international career. He is quite a man, fit, healthy and always thinking of those worse off than him. Every two years, Rob sets himself a charity challenge to raise funds for Children in Distress. This year Rob’s hectic and demanding training schedule has been set back a month by a recurrent back injury, however he still intends that on Saturday 21st September 2013 to attempt his toughest charity challenge to date raising funds for two worthy causes, Children in Distress and Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Scarborough based Rob will kick off his challenge with a home based 1 Hour Marathon Kettle bell Snatch. He then intends to run a 26 Mile Marathon from Scarborough to Kirkbymoorside. Challenge three, Rob’s 26 Mile, Concept2 Rowing Machine Marathon will then take place in Kirkbymoorside’s new Children’s Centre or weather permitting adjacent to CID’s Thrift Store. If that weren’t enough he intend to cycle the 26 Mile Marathon course back from Kirkbymoorside to Scarborough This would be a very tough challenge even for a big, super fit man, like Rob, but he has been training hard for the last 6 months losing over three stones in weight in the process. Rob aims to get into even better shape in readiness for his 'Mad 4 in 1 Marathon Challenge for the two charities he holds very dear.

Whilst all this is going on, Jane Russell, the charity’s Funding Development Manager, Rob’s greatest fan and worried but ever supportive mum, and June Cook of Marie Curie Cancer Care, will be holding a simultaneous Coffee Morning and Home Bake Cake Stall with a Tombola and Raffle at Kirkbymoorside Westfield’s Children’s Centre to raise as much additional funding as possible for the two very worthwhile causes. If you have prizes you would like to donate to the CID Tombola please contact either Jane (01751 432089) or June (01751 431160).

If you can, please motivate and support Rob’s “Mad” 4 in 1 Marathon Challenge with a cash donation. Any donation large or small will be greatly appreciated; you can sponsor Rob by just clicking this JustGiving hyperlink http://www.justgiving.com/The-Mad-4-Marathon-Challenge .

Edit: completed but you can still donate! Newspaper article
