Looks great.

The Ovicx WEKEEP is a relatively low-cost Smart Fitness Bike. If you're looking to add a spot of cardio to the home gym, this is a great way to do it.

What's more, it comes with access to a range of classes. And as it uses Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) to connect, it also works with several other systems. Notably ZWIFT and Kinomap.

To give you a brief look at the bike itself, a little video :

NB : We first looked at this one in the weekly Strength & Fitness Newsletter (part of the Strength Kit). If you'd like to have it sent to you automatically (free!) each week, just add your email here.

We also discuss a number of training-related books. If you're looking for the full list of the ones I recommend personally, swing by Goodreads. Great site.




Great information.

Interesting idea.

The Exerbell is a cross between a kettlebell and sandbag, designed with travel workouts (Remember them? Won't be long.) in mind. Great combination.

I'm constantly amazed at just how much my training is influenced by the people on this site. Whether you're looking for a new piece of equipment, an unusual exercise variation or just an idea of how others approach things, you'll enjoy these :

Gymchat 278 - TBA

We're still finalising the details for this week's discussion. I'll post them on the blog (and Twitter, Facebook etc) shortly.

In the meantime, take a look at some of the previous episodes of the show - (there's an example below, and a full list here). And if you've got any questions or comments on the various topics discussed, we'd love to hear them. Just leave a note below the video.


Previously : In Gymchat 223 we discussed Progressive Calisthenics with Personal Trainer Al Kavadlo and Strongman & Personal Trainer Josh Hewett. Great conversation.


If you missed the live stream (or just want to go over a particular point again), you'll find the entire video here.

NB : if you'd like to take part in a future episode - either as an interviewee, or as a guest host - just drop us a line. Love hearing how everyone else trains.

Tip of the Week: Modifying Lifts - The Jefferson

Each week we publish a number of tips and techniques via Twitter, the blog; and the newsletter. Wherever you are, there's always a way to improve what you're doing.

This tip comes to us from Jason's superb article 29 Things to do with a Barbell in the Corner; and looks at just one of the many ways to put a partly-loaded barbell to work. The Modified Jefferson Lift.


Over to Jason :

This is where you straddle the barbell with both legs, and grasp above the weights while you lower yourself straight down as if sitting down into a chair. The R.O.M. is limited so you can use heavier weights if you feel comfortable.

You can modify all kinds of lifts in similar ways. Good fun.
