I've been involved in the world of fitness since I was a teenager, when I taught martial arts. In the intervening decade or so, I've experimented with a variety of methods, including calisthenics, kettlebells and mace training, as well as continuing to train in a variety of martial arts such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu, SAMBO and Thai boxing. In the past couple of years, my attention has turned to heavy lifting, with a particular focus on the three big lifts (bench, squat and deadlift). I like making my own bespoke equipment and now have a lockdown-proof home gym complete with concrete weight plates. Secure the means of muscular production!
