Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Your lighter body weight makes your deadlift PB even more impressive, DQ. You’re absolutely smashing it at the moment.

great DQ!

Question for you all - when I have my PT sessions do you think it would be OK for me to get PT to video or take pics of me doing stuff so I can check form etc at home?

Brilliant DQ. That's the Holy Grail of strength training as far as I'm concerned. star

I really want to do the same but don't seem able to manage it! Am stuck at same weight - I WISH I could get my arms like my legs!

Pix I'm sure that your PT would do that with no issue- my physio certainly does, shows me how I'm running etc, or exercises etc

I'm still going strong with 3x 6.30am bootcamps, can't believe it lol. Getting stronger I think! I'm making it up to 4 with a core class but this week I *really* am going to add a body pump sessions somewhere.

EvilPixie Absolutely. I think vids are brilliant for checking form. And can help teach you to be objective about yourself.

(I'm going to film myself doing barre, I know it will be not what I see in my head!)

I filmed myself doing some stuff at the gym the other day to send to my coach. I then spotted a notice saying you are not allowed to use your phone to take photos or videos. I will carry on doing it (as long as no-one else is exercising close by or course - I wouldn't dream of inadvertently filming anyone else) until I get told off, as the feedback I got was very helpful :)

And in case you're wondering about that title, well, I like alliteration and one can be too po-faced about the use of girl/lady/woman.
