Brute Force Heavy Hitter Sandbag - 10% off!

Brute Force Europe are currently offering the Heavy Hitter Sandbag for 10% off!

The Heavy Hitter loads up to 90kg/200lbs and is a great choice for garage gyms, bootcamps, crossfit, strongman, strength coaches and anyone looking to get strong. Plus, it's a great budget option.

I recently ran through a session of Clean and Presses with the Heavy Hitter and it was no joke! (that's around 60kg of sand and still room for another 30kg!)






To get your Heavy Hitter head over to the Brute Force Europe Store:

1000 Push Ups For Charity

I'll be completing 1000 Push Ups for Charity on the 15th March and I'd love your support. Anything you can donate will be gratefully received and all proceeds will go to The Starlight Children's Foundation, which helps seriously and terminally ill children.


The challenge is being run by Your PT and the aim is to complete 20 push ups every 12 minutes over the course of 10 hours. I'm a busy man so I'm going to try and get it done in 1 hour instead. 

I'd really appreciate the support so please consider giving something, not matter how small it is:





I'll be filming the whole, painful experience for your viewing pleasure!
