Strength training

GMB workouts are fun, as are their guides, e.g. handstands. I’m currently trying to work through their muscle up tutorial. See Menno Henselmanns Optimal program design 2.0. Interesting takeaway: Body-builders are not very good at empirically informed workout design, despite having all the data to hand.

Workout apps

Which apps are good for tracking and planning exercise?

I’m currently enjoying Fitbod (affiliate link) which uses some kind of basic but effective regression modeling to suggest optimal workouts. That they want to call this “AI” should not dissuade you; we all need to do unsavoury things to make a living.

Previously I have used JEFIT, YAYOG, Strong.
