Quick reminder : in this week’s Gymchat we’ll be discussing the various ways to get your yoke on (and why you might just want to) – in Neck Training II. Superb.
See you there.

There’s nothing quite like having a strong neck. And if you’re a martial artist, rugby player or Formula One driver; you’ll understand just why.
This week I’d like to return to this wonderful form of training (we first looked at it almost 3 years ago now, in Twitterchat 27) – what it involves, who it applies to, how to get started and a whole lot more. Helping us explore this fascinating topic is none other than combat athlete Andrew Nalepa. Fantastic.
And if you’ve just joined us on Google+, welcome. Join us on Mar 28, and add a comment/ask a question or three. Dive in.
