If you've ever done any serious training, you know full well the muscle soreness that can result from a hard workout session. This tends to become more so the case as you get older (as I am starting to find out).

There is a lot to be said for mental toughness being able to push you through training sessions, regardless of how your body feels. However, if we can do some very simple things to help aid our recovery between sessions, we'd be stupid to not apply them.

Walk into your local commercial gym and there are certain exercises that you will just never see. It's almost as if they have been black banned.. And in some cases they have.

Below are videos of 3 different exercises, that are banned in certain commercial gyms that will remain nameless (one of them has a song by its name sake).

In case while you're watching you think, "well I could never do anything like that anyway," rest assured there are easier versions of these movements that can accommodate anybody.

Enjoy..

Do you follow V8 Supercar racing? Personally, it's a sport that I've never gotten into watching. After last week that may change.

Every year the team at Ford Performance Racing run an intensive four day training camp for their drivers. Last Wednesday I had the privilege of training Mark Winterbottom and Will Davison for one morning of those four days.
