WTB was founded in Marin County, California in 1982, fueled by the need to create durable and reliable mountain bike-specific equipment. Back then mountain biking was a new and burgeoning sport, and mountain bikes weren’t much more than cobbled-together oddities. The original WTB crew was captivated by the experience of riding bikes on dirt trails, and they started creating more durable and functional components for their own bikes. Soon, local frame builders sought to outfit their bikes with WTB’s high-end components. WTB was able to turn our passion for bikes into a successful business.
Today WTB is a global enterprise; our innovative components are used for trail riding, transportation, recreation and elite racing across the globe. After 30 years things have changed a bit here at WTB–our little garage has morphed into a real office and the bikes we ride and the components we make have evolved to meet the needs of today’s riders, racers, and commuters. What hasn’t changed is our passion for cycling and our commitment to providing the cycling community with durable, reliable, high-performance components.

Static Lunge Kick
The Static Lunge Kick is a dynamic lower body exercise that targets multiple muscle groups simultaneously. This exercise combines the strength-building benefits of a static lunge with the explosive power of a kick, making it a great addition to any fitness routine. The Static Lunge Kick primarily works the muscles in your legs, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. By performing a static lunge, you are increasing the stability and strength of your lower body, while the kick adds an element of balance, flexibility, and coordination. This exercise also engages your core muscles for stability and helps improve your overall balance and posture. Additionally, the Static Lunge Kick requires upper body engagement, particularly in the shoulders and arms, as they assist in maintaining balance and control during the movement. When performed correctly, the Static Lunge Kick can be a challenging and effective exercise for toning and shaping your lower body, improving flexibility, and boosting cardiovascular endurance. Whether you're looking to strengthen your legs, work on your balance, or simply add some variety to your workout routine, the Static Lunge Kick is a versatile exercise that can help you achieve your fitness goals.
- Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart.
- Take a step forward with your right foot and lower your body into a lunge position.
- Ensure that your right knee is bent at a 90-degree angle and aligned with your ankle, and the back left knee is hovering just above the ground.
- Engage your core for stability and balance.
- Shift your weight onto your right foot and kick your left leg forward, extending it straight out in front of you at hip height.
- Flex your left foot and engage your quadriceps.
- Hold the kick position for a moment, maintaining balance.
- Slowly lower your left leg back down into the starting lunge position.
- Perform the desired number of repetitions on your right leg before switching sides.
- Remember to breathe deeply throughout the exercise and maintain proper form.
Tips & Tricks
- Focus on proper form and technique to prevent injury and maximize results.
- Engage your core throughout the exercise to stabilize your body and maintain balance.
- Start with lighter weights or no weights at all before progressing to heavier weights.
- Incorporate a controlled and slow tempo to increase the difficulty and challenge your muscles.
- Ensure that your front knee stays aligned with your ankle and does not extend past your toes.
- Keep your chest lifted and your back straight throughout the movement.
- Take deep breaths, inhaling on the way down and exhaling on the way up.
- Maintain a consistent rhythm and avoid rushing through the exercise.
- For an added challenge, use resistance bands or ankle weights while performing the static lunge kick.
- Remember to warm up before and stretch after performing this exercise.

Callowaygolfpreowned-If They Were Given $2000 to Spend in a Pro Shop, This Companies Products are What Smart Golfers Would Buy Buy
Calloway Golf Company (USA) is an American international equipment manufacturer that designs, produces, sells and markets golf equipment.
It also produces clothing through its subsidiary “Callaway clothing.” It is a division within Wilsonart, which is a lifestyle and fashion brand.
The Callaway Max Star Tour package is the most well-known item. It comes with a driver, three wedges, and one putter head for all levels of players. There are two options: one that has the Callaway logo on the clubhead and another with no logo.Callowaygolfpreowned
Mike Calloway is the man behind Calloway. Mike Calloway used to play professionally for several years, before he decided to focus his efforts on developing golf equipment. In his quest to develop and manufacture better golf products, Calloway formed his own business. He later bought Callaway Golf Supply. Callaway irons utilize the latest technology and materials used in the golf industry. These irons are very popular for golfers of all ages, as they help to increase the power of their shots while allowing their shots to go further.Callowaygolfpreowned
Calloway also sells golf accessories like towels, clothing, and supplies. The company’s specialty is golf-specific bags and cases, such as its XP Sport Bag and Pro Bag series. Calloway also sells Callaway irons, putters, and golf clubs through its website. For orders exceeding an amount that is specified, it gives free shipping

Epic Max drivers are redefining driver technology with an easy equation that can have significant changes to the performance of drivers and their technologies. While Callaway isn’t the first company to launch an aluminum fork, they are pioneers in developing titanium technology for the masses. Callaway has been bringing top-quality golfing gear to people of all ages for several years, so it’s no shock that they’re getting better in making drivers too. I was recently able to try a few the latest models from Callaway. Here are my thoughts.
Callaway’s epic max drivers are light, adjustable and one of the most intuitive drivers I’ve ever seen. You can change the club face at any time, without removing your grip. The traditional driver requires that you release your grip, move the clubhead upwards and down a certain distance in order to attain the optimal launch angle. But the drivers are simple to use. Just flick a switch and you’ll get an immediate loft increases. This driver has an extremely lightweight titanium shaft that allows you to accelerate even more quickly than you did before.
The best thing about the Epic Max drivers was how easy they were to use for beginners. The Epic Max drivers were designed to help you get moving from the moment the club is set up. The thumb wheel adjusts the loft of the club as you swing it and puts the player in high gear swiftly. I love how these drivers get you moving in the smallest of touches. It’s like the callaway epic max drivers, which make golf as simple as pushing
one button. Callaway’s epic max drivers are a fantastic choice if you want an efficient driver that gets to the sweet spot on the ball.
The all-new Epic MAX Star is a great driver for players seeking to hit their ball for longer distances, and have greater forgiveness than before. The Epic MAX is made of cast steel, which gives you exceptional performance off the tee. The Epic MAX also features a larger sweetspotthat means you’ll be able to hit every shot.
Callaway engineers have created Jaws full toe, a revolutionary technology that gives golfers more forgiveness in their hybrids and irons. The result? The result? A greater distance from the tee, better control of approach shots and a better feel when hitting greenside putsts.
Callaway Apparel set the standard in golf apparel in the last few decades
Callowaygolfpreowned-Not Just Clubs and Balls But Great Looking Apparel Too
The name Callaway is synonymous with golfing clothing. Callaway shirts and their most popular apparel lines include caps, shoes bags, caps, golf bags, and shoes. Each of these products has the same high-end and stylish design. Callaway products are sure to last for the rest of their lives If they were on the market now, you could get them.
Callaway products are the best quality if your committed to playing. Callaway apparel offers golf equipment which can be customized to your needs. You can choose from the shirts, cardigans and shorts, pants, and hats, each one of these items of clothing has been developed for a specific purpose. Every piece manufactured by the firm is designed to meet or exceed the customer’s expectations. Callaway golf apparel is the perfect mix of contemporary golfing capabilities and timeless style.Callowaygolfpreowned
As crucial as it is to properly care for and protect your investment most golfers do not realize the importance of keeping the proper alignment of the golf ball. To ensure your golf ball is level after every shot, align your ball at the middle of your chest or just slightly behind your left shoulder. Callaway golf clubs allow you to determine exactly where your ball is directed. They’re designed so that your body moves in tandem with the club, which ensures that your results from each shot are constant.

PSIA-AASI Announces Lorpen as an Official Supplier
PSIA-AASI welcomes Lorpen as a new Official Supplier. Lorpen makes technical socks that outperform in any environment, and now members can access Lorpen products to keep their feet warm and dry when they’re on the hill all day teaching and developing future skiers and riders.
With more than 30 years of experience, Lorpen socks are designed by mountaineers, skiers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Lorpen has engineered some of the most advanced and innovative socks on the market. Their T3 layering technology combines natural and synthetic fibers to maximize warmth, cooling, and moisture management in any climate.
“For years, instructors have known the value of having a well-fitted sock that provides warmth and moisture wicking while they teach all day. No one wants to wear socks that slip down or bunch up in their boots while they’re on the slopes,” says Lorpen Sales Director Michel Gogniat. “Lorpen socks are manufactured in the Pyrenees mountains, and like PSIA-AASI, we share the same passion for the environment and the outdoors.”
Gogniat said that Lorpen is the only sock brand in the world that manufactures socks with three layers of yarn differentiated, what they call their T3 Technology. Lorpen’s design ensures the sock fits each foot properly, without the wrinkles or creases that can cause blisters. Lorpen uses stretch nylon yarn to improve elasticity and create long-lasting socks so their socks fit for years after lots of use and washes.
“We are thrilled to provide our members with special access to the best high performance socks on the market,” said PSIA-AASI CEO Nicholas Herrin. “Lorpen socks will keep our instructors’ feet warm and dry – from wet snowy days to warm spring days.”
Herrin said that it’s great to partner with a sock manufacture who shares PSIA-AASI’s passion for the mountains. He added that, “Their socks are also really comfortable, they don’t bunch.”
From downhill turns to Nordic skiing, Lorpen has the socks to help skiers and riders stay warm and comfortable on the slopes this season. To access PSIA-AASI member’s only pricing, login to thesnowpros.org/shop. To learn more about Lorpen socks, check out this video.

There are many aspects of the game that can lead you to frustration, including the ball rolling off the tee, hitting a shot off-center, or watching your ball roll into a monster bunker. If only there was a caddy to provide guidance as we played!Choosing the proper clubs for whatever kind of shot you are taking is key to becoming an excellent golfer.The following tips that follow can help you.
Wiggling your toes can help you figure out how good your posture is before you take a golf swing. If you can wiggle your toes easily, you are probably leaning too far away from your ball. Try leaning toward the ball so much that you can still move your feet a little, but not a lot.
A smart piece of golf advice is to pass on renting a cart, instead of renting a golf cart. Walking also help to keep you loose and warms up your muscles.
Your body can benefit you in a game of golf. Your arms shouldn’t be the only source of power. Your whole body needs to be involved in the club movement. You are then more likely to hit the ball and send it further without swinging your arms as forcefully.
Focus 100% on your upcoming shot. Don’t carry with you the mental weight of your last shot, regardless of its success or failure; nor should you get distracted by the water hazard you are approaching. Worrying about mistakes can have an effect on your swing, so forget them and move forward.
One of the first things you need to learn about golf swing is to how to incorporate a proper grip. Try to use a soft, yet firm.Hold your club as though you are holding a bird.
It’s extremely important to understand how to correctly score a golf game. The stroke total you rack up on a scorecard is the most objective overall measurement of your quality as a golf player. Scores are calculated by recording the number of strokes it takes to get the golf ball in the hole. The basic idea is that you want as few strokes as possible for each hole.

Use a light, neutral grasp on all of your golf clubs. Your shots will drift to the right if you grip the golf club tightly. Conversely, if you hold your club too loosely, the ball will go off to the left. In order to fix this, adjust the grip according to the direction of the shot.
Hybrid clubs give the new and experienced golfer a greater chance at making his or her golf game better. Hybrid club heads are larger than their iron counterparts, which means you have better control over hitting the ball with easier management than using a wood club.

Titleist Velocity Vs. Titleist Tour Soft Golf Balls Comparison Overview
The Titleist Velocity and the Titleist Tour Soft balls have a lot of features in common. For instance, they are both premium grade balls that are designed to help with distance.
They even have the same type of core which, isn’t too surprising being that they’re both Titleist balls.
However, after having tested both of them side-by-side, we found that there were some key differences every golfer should know about if they are considering buying these balls.
Find out what you need to know about these premium-grade balls in the following comparison article.
Titleist Velocity Golf Balls Overview
The Titleist Velocity balls promote low spin rates across the board which is a good and bad thing.
Off the deck, you will want to use these balls as much as possible. They yield very low spin rates with your hybrid, woods or even your driver.
The downside is that when you need to backspin the ball on the green or want to roll it more, you won’t get much help from these balls.
The Titleist Velocity balls feature the same type of LSX core that the Tour Soft balls have. Only, it would seem that the core of the Velocity balls are a bit smaller.
From the deck, the Surlyn cover of these balls feels nice and soft – they just aren’t very responsive.
This makes them adequate for shots with your long irons or hybrids but you lose some feel and accuracy around the green.
Titleist Tour Soft Golf Balls Overview
The Tour Soft balls have a very large core that does a great job of preserving swing energy. You get nearly effortless ball speed with these balls.
Like the Titleist Velocity balls, the Tour Soft balls perform great off the deck. In fact we were getting faster ball speeds with these balls off the deck than we were from the Titleist Velocity balls.
The 1.6” diameter cores and 2-piece construction do a great job of transferring energy from the club face.
These balls have an ionomer composite cover material so they are almost as thin as urethane but not quite.
We were getting more robust spin in the short game than we were with the Titleist Velocity balls.
The key difference between these two balls was short-game spin rates. The Tour Soft balls performed more admirably than the Titleist Velocity’s in this department.

In June of this year, compLexity Gaming announced a new partnership with apparel brand H4X, stating that “our brands are a natural fit”. With this in mind, we spoke to Daniel Herz, Chief Revenue Officer of compLexity Gaming about the organisation’s new partner to dig a little into the origin of the deal and what’s to come.
Esports Insider: Do you think gaming-focused clothing can genuinely help with the performance of professional players, and if so, how?
Daniel Herz: I definitely think performance-based clothing can help our athletes. Like in traditional sports, they are spending hours and hours training behind a desk each day, as well as in the gym.
We want to help them stay healthy and extend their careers as much as we can, so providing them with the tools to do so is extremely important to us. I also know from talking to our athletes and our staff, that performance is boosted by a confidence boost. So having our players in apparel that makes them comfortable and looks good is going to have them play better too.
ESI: How did this partnership come about? Were you searching specifically for an apparel partner or did the opportunity arise another way?
Daniel: After joining compLexity a few months back, one of my first goals was to revamp our apparel. We wanted to have a partner that didn’t just have expertise in the world of apparel, but also in the world of esports. We wanted a partner that truly understood what we were trying to accomplish with our fans and our athletes in mind – which led us to H4X. H4X shared our goals in pushing esports performance along with the need for our athletes and fans to look good.
“Our goal is to create a ton of items that are special and specific for our fans.“
ESI: Ultimately, what was it about H4X’s offering that made you agree to enter the deal?
Daniel: It was the shared vision we had. One of our main focuses as an organization is player care. We’re working extremely hard to [become] an industry leader in this department, raise the bar to new industry standards. From furnished luxury apartments to hiring a Director of Performance from IMG Academy all the way to allowing our players to take advantage of the healthy prepared meals at the Dallas Cowboys Training Table (in the Dallas Cowboys cafeteria).
H4X and their vision aligned extremely well with that right away. We have been working with their design team to create actual performance gear that fits the needs of our athletes. We even flew a team from H4X down here to Frisco, TX to meet with our organization and pick the brain of our athletes to give them a better appreciation for the product and H4X a better understanding of the actual needs in this space. It just was a great match right away.
ESI: When the news was announced, a limited edition performance jacket was made available for purchase. Can compLexity fans expect to see more exclusive items in the future or was it a one-off?
Daniel: Our goal is to create a ton of items that are special and specific for our fans. In traditional sports, you see this all the time. The NFL is doing their special Color Rush jerseys or the NBA doing Christmas Day jerseys, we want to provide the same opportunities for our fans. We have a lot of designs already in the works to celebrate who we are as a team, what we represent as an organization and what our fans are all about.
“The key to our growth as an organization is our fans.“
ESI: Do you see an apparel partnership as a key avenue for growth for compLexity?
Daniel: The key to our growth as an organization is our fans. Apparel gives our fans a physical connection, a bond, to our organization and an opportunity for them to support this organization. We want to make sure our fans can get the best apparel in the industry, to proudly and comfortably show their support for our teams and players.
ESI: Has your approach to entering partnerships changed at all since the acquisition in November 2017?
Daniel: Before the acquisition, compLexity was built around “eat what you kill”. Sponsorships were used to pay players and run the overall business. Over the past few years with the large influx of money coming into the space, that antiquated model seized to be sustainable in the long run. So with the acquisition, we could change our philosophy. We are in a unique position where we have a strong financial backing that we know will support us for years to come, so we can be more targeted. It allows us to seek and create true partnerships, working with brands to build a foundation of growth for now and the future. Our goal is to with brands to accomplish our goals together, as true partners with a strong emphasis on supporting this community and industry.
Want to hear more from Daniel Herz? He’ll be speaking at ESI London in September alongside Jason Lake, CEO & Founder of compLexity Gaming. Get your tickets while you can!

If you've ever had to battle through debilitating back pain, you know how important it is to protect your back when you work out. Although there are specific exercises that target various back muscles, pretty much every exercise you do involves your back in some kind of way.
Think about it: If your workout requires sitting, standing, bending, twisting, turning or stabilizing your core, you'll recruit at least some section of your back muscles to do it, so it only makes sense to do whatever you can to keep those valuable muscles from getting injured. Below are some practical tips for how to protect your back so you can have a productive and injury-free workout.
General Exercise Tips
1. No matter what exercise you're doing, avoid herky-jerky movements at all costs. This is especially important for back-intensive exercises such as deadlifts, back extensions and squats. Never try to take on more weight than you can handle with good form, and just be mindful to perform your exercises with smooth movements, free from any sudden starts, stops or jerks.
2. Working out with cold back muscles can definitely put you at risk for injury. Warm up your back muscles with some very light-impact, progressive movements that will get your blood flowing increase the flexibility and responsiveness of those muscles. Try performing arm circles, shoulder rolls, side bends, toe touches and trunk rotations (lightly twisting your torso from side to side).
3. Wear an adjustable back brace if need be to provide your back with extra support during your workouts. This really comes in handy if you're going to be lifting weights or performing other weight-bearing exercises.
Tips for Specific Exercises
1. Squats - Try to keep your lower back as straight as possible when you squat down, and make sure that you're not curving your back inwards (e.g., poking your chest out), as this can put extra stress on your spine. Keep your back and hips aligned as much as possible, and again, smooth movements are always the way to go.
2. Sit-Ups/Crunches - When performing sit-ups, don't come all the way up to where your head is basically in alignment with your knees. Not only does this take the tension off your abdominal muscles (where it belongs), but it over-extends your lower back, putting strain on the muscles surrounding the lumbar spine, which can lead to significant lower back pain.
Instead, come about three-fourths of the way up, which will keep those abdominal muscles engaged and your lower back safe. As far as crunches go, try performing them on a stability ball instead of the floor, as it will conform naturally to the curvature of your back, and it engages your hips and gluteal muscles, which will reduce the amount of pressure placed on the spine.
3. Lat Pull-Downs - This hallmark back exercise can create great results when done correctly, but can wreak havoc on your back muscles when done with poor form.
With this exercise, the first rule of thumb for injury prevention is to not take on more weight than you can reasonably handle. Also, never tilt your head forward and pull the bar down behind your head; this provides no benefit to the back or shoulder muscles, and can actually strain the muscles of your neck and upper back. To do it the right way, lean back slightly and engage your abdominal muscles while pulling the bar down to your upper chest.
4. Deadlifts - This is an exercise that you need to work up to before taking on any significant amount of weight. In fact, practice your deadlift form with nothing but the bar (or even a broomstick) at first, to ensure that you're using only your thighs, glutes and hamstrings to do the lifting, not your back.
Keep in mind that the force that will take you from being bent over to standing upright should be the squeeze that you get from your glutes and hamstrings, not the muscles of your lower back.
5. Planks - While this exercise can work wonders for strengthening your core, you have to be careful to perform it with correct form, otherwise it could place undue stress on your lower back. When you're in the plank position, you have to make a conscious effort to engage your abdominal muscles by keeping them nice and tight in order to prevent your back from sagging in the middle.
Although it can be tempting to forego the warm-ups and skip the finer details of proper form so you can get to the workout, don't do yourself a disservice by neglecting these important back safety precautions. While these preventative measures will require a little more effort, it will be well worth it in order to keep your back healthy and strong.

5 simple yet effective kettlebell workouts for beginners.
If you’re unfamiliar with kettlebells, imagine a small version of a bowling ball with an attached handle. Coming in a variety of weights, kettlebells offer a great alternative to traditional handheld weights. All you’ve got to do is grab hold of a weight that is challenging but you feel comfortable handling and get started. Because of the kettlebell’s unique shape, kettlebells open the door to some unique exercises that work your body in ways that are difficult to replicate with traditional weights.
Follow the instructions below for five great kettlebell exercises.
Aim for three to five sets of 10 to 30 repetitions of each exercise for a cardio, strength, and flexibility workout all in one.
This exercise can be done using either one hand or both and targets your back, shoulders, hips, legs, and glutes. Place your feet a little wider than your hips, slightly bend your knees, and push your hips back. Hold the kettlebell handle with two hands or just one in front of your body, palms facing down. In one motion, push your hips forward and swing the kettlebell in front of you. Use the motion of your hips to swing the kettlebell rather than making your arms do the work.
Get a great shoulder, back, and arm workout with the kettlebell row. You’ll need two kettlebells for this one—one for each hand. Place each kettlebell on the floor in front of your feet, stand up, and slightly bend your knees. Then bend over, grab each kettlebell by the handle, pull them up toward your stomach, and then lower the weights back to the floor. Keep your back straight the entire time and your elbows next to your body. Repeat.
What’s a leg and glute workout without squats? Stand up straight, feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Hold one kettlebell against your chest with both hands and keep your elbows close to your sides. Squat down by bending your knees and pushing your hips back until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Stand back up and repeat.
Get more out of your lunges with a kettlebell. Work your back, shoulders, arms, abs, legs, and glutes with this exercise. Stand up straight and hold a kettlebell against your chest with two hands, palms facing in. Take a big step forward with one foot, lower your body toward the floor, and raise the kettlebell up over your head at the same time. Then, bring both legs together in a standing position and lower the kettlebell back to your chest. Next, step forward with your opposite leg. Repeat.
Tired of crunches? Mix things up with this exercise for your abs and obliques. Sit on the floor, bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart. Hold one kettlebell at your chest with both hands and lean back so you’re at a 45-degree angle with the floor. Now it’s time to twist. Twist to the right while moving the kettlebell to the right. Then swing to the left and move the kettlebell with you. Keep twisting from side to side.
Try Something New
These five exercises are just a few of the many different workouts you can do with a kettlebell. When using kettlebells (or any weights, for that matter), be sure to use proper form to decrease your risk of injury and increase effectiveness.

Running is one of the effective full-body, calorie buster, body toner types of workout, also a wonderful way to socialize and promote mental and physical health. Moreover, running is not only about being a workout or venue for health promotion. Instead, running can also be a competition, such as a marathon.
A marathon is a 42-kilometer (26-miles) long-distance running race. Also, it requires substantial preparation, which may take several months. To take part and finish a marathon is a great accomplishment for the number of people. Furthermore, there is also a short-distance running event that is popular among some, especially for beginners and those who plan to run in a marathon.
A half marathon is a running event that is 21 kilometers long or 13.1 miles, which is half the distance of a marathon (26.1 miles). And since it is a short-distance footrace, a half-marathon is usually done on the center roads or highways. Furthermore, the United Kingdom is one of the most popular countries in the world for hosting a large number of half marathon events, which gained the title, half marathon UK or UK half marathons.
In this article you will find the benefits and the risks of running in a half marathon. Will it be good to run or not? Let’s find out!
Benefits Of Running A Half Marathon
Running a half marathon (13.1 miles) would not only benefit you by many things, but it is also a good head start if you are planning to run in a marathon (26.1 miles). Also, running a half marathon keeps you strictly scheduled with certain preparations without being as rigorous as a marathon.
Moreover, the health benefits that come from running a half marathon are:
Improves The Cardiovascular System
A half marathon training involves the progressive construction of miles and pace, lengthy runs, and physical dedication. And by continuously boosting your fitness, the performance and condition of your body will enhance. Running also lessens your blood pressure and the possible cause of stroke, and other heart problems. In addition, the overall training and progress will allow you to acquire the most potential growth in your condition and improve your cardiovascular system.
Loss Of Weight And Burning Of Calories
Training and running a half marathon with a distance of 13.1 miles is not something to take lightly because it needs much training and planning. And through your preparation, you will efficiently lose weight and burn some of your calories, which is great for it will make you lean on the day of the marathon.
Reduce The Risks Of Injuries In A Full Marathon
Beginners or runners who intend to take a full marathon are frequently prone to injuries. This is because they lack the fundamental preparations and methods required before running a full marathon, which is running first in short-distance marathons—such as UK half marathons. Furthermore, running a half marathon, as previously said, is “a good head start if you are going to run in a marathon” since it prepares your body for long-distance running and also reduces the risks of acquiring injuries.
Promote Mental Health
Running helps in improving the emotional and physical development of a runner. Even though it is a short-distance event, it is sufficient to decrease tension, anxiety and improve sleeping patterns.
Risks Of Running A Half Marathon
Aside from the benefits of running a half marathon, we cannot still deny the fact that there are also risks that come with it. There are findings that running marathons or half marathons are linked with a fairly low risk of cardiovascular disease and even death. However, these are only caused by certain factors, such as:
Excessive training can often lead to fatigue, a major concern for your preparation for a half marathon. Overtraining can also alter the condition of your heart afterward, which could increase the risk of acquiring a cardiovascular problem and sudden collapse after running a half marathon. As a result, it is critical to maintain your rate while training for a marathon, even if it is a half-marathon UK.
Runners quite often experience this feeling during training and preparation and continue further afterward. This feeling is commonly known as runners’ high. This condition often drives runners to run one marathon after another, which is a bad idea for it could result in some critical circumstances.

In this video, Titleist staff member Trillium Rose faces a shot that confounds many golfers – an iron approach where the ball is lying above her feet. This kind of sidehill lie can make solid contact a challenge. Even more of an issue, the slope will essentially change the lie angle of your club at address, pointing the face of your club left (for a right handed golfer). If you don’t account for this, you can make a great swing and hit it dead left. Instead, use Trillium’s adjustments to counteract the uneven lie and hit the green just as easily as if the ball were sitting on a tee.
1. Grip down slightly on the handle and take one more club than the yardage would typically call for.
2. Aim slightly right of your target to counteract the influence left that the lie will have on your golf ball’s flight.
3. Keep your arms and hands loose and let your swing be governed by the turn of your body (a swing dominated by the hands and arms can result in inconsistent contact with the turf, which is a killer on uneven lies.)

The snow is (sort of) flying in beautiful Bozeman, MT and that means excitement for those of us that ski! For those of us that don’t ski, winter can be a hard time for exercising. Read below for a few tips on how to make winter running more enjoyable and maybe a little safer!
First and most important; you need the right clothes. I think a good jacket, gloves and headband/hat are the key items. It can be tricky to dress for the temperatures here but a good rule of thumb is to dress like it’s about 20 degrees warmer outside than it really is; this is because you’ll warm up as you run and getting too sweaty can actually make you colder! Things to look for in a jacket is something that has some reflective strips on it if you run in the dark and something that has a little windproof on the front. There are all sorts of good running jackets out there, tops brands include Brooks, Patagonia, and the North Face.
Second, you need shoes that are stable and less slippery on the ice. I did some research and found a few slip on traction devices that got overall good reviews on amazon.
1. Kahtoola NANOspikes are marketed as a low profile ultra light winter traction device. They come in different sizes and have a ton of really great reviews. Most people say that they fit well and that they transition from snow to drier trails pretty well. They cost about $50.
2. Then there’s the more common brand, Yaktrax. This specific pair is supposed to be designed for running. The reviews are not quite as good as with the Kahtoola spikes. There were some comments about them not fitting very well and some complaints about feeling a little bulky underfoot. But for about half the price they might be worth a try
I have also heard of people just getting some screws from the hardware store and drilling them through the soles of the bottom of a pair of their own shoes just under the foot bed.
Third, you need a good headlamp! Colder temps also means darker mornings and nights. It’s hard to avoid running in the dark so you need a good headlamp to light your way!
The BioLite HeadLamp 200 Lumen No-Bounce Rechargeable Head Light is specifically designed for running. It is lightweight and has a no-bounce design. It also has a rechargeable battery. It has overall great reviews on amazon and comes in at just under $45.
Another good option is the Black Diamond Storm. Its extra bright and low profile although reviews suggest it bounces some when running. People seem most excited by the amount of light it emits; so if you’re an early morning runner this one may be for you! It comes in at just under $50.
Really, running in the winter can be beautiful and if you have the right gear just as easy as running in the summer! If you have any questions on running injuries or strength training for runner give us a call; our PT’s would be happy to help!

How thick is a 45 lb bumper plate? 25 lb: 1-3/4" 35 lb: 2-5/16" 45 lb: 3-1/8"
How thick is a standard weight plate?
The differences between Olympic and Standard Weights
Standard Weight Lifting bars are one inch (25mm) in diameter on the ends and the middle shaft. They are made to take standard weight plates, which have a 1”/25mm diameter hole. This means they fit snugly and will not wobble about.
How thick are Olympic bars?
Bar thickness: Men's Olympic weightlifting bars are 28mm thick and powerlifting bars are 29mm thick. Women's bars are 25mm thick. Some specialty bench press bars are 30mm thick to reduce the whip. And squat bars can be 32mm thick to make the bars more rigid and comfortable on your back.
How thick is a 20KG plate?
|Thickness||12 mm||33 mm|
What are Fleck plates?
The Rogue Fleck Plates are Rogue Fitness latest bumper plate offering that features a higher durometer rubber that combines black and the appropriate color depending on the weight in a sweet looking plate. Shore A Durometer Rating of 90 makes for a pretty hard bumper plate with a low bounce.
Related popular for How Thick Is A 45 Lb Bumper Plate?
What is the difference between standard and Olympic weight plates?
The most obvious difference between the plates is the size of the hole used to mount them onto the barbell. Olympic plates have a 2 inch hole, whilst standard ones only have a 1 inch hole. Because of this displaced space, Olympic plates are generally slightly larger than standard ones of the same weight.
Do all Olympic bars spin?
As a general rule, Olympic bars are supposed to spin but more importantly, if you are going to perform and Olympic style lifts like a snatch or clean and jerk then it's essential that the barbell sleeves spin.
Why are weight plates so expensive?
The average cost of dumbbells is somewhere between a dollar and two dollars a pound, so this increase is about supply and demand. Price gouging laws generally only apply to necessary items like food, water, and shelter.
How thick are barbells?
A thin barbell is 1” (2.54 cm) to 1 1/16” (2.70 cm) thick (diameter). Meanwhile a thick (or fat) barbell has a diameter of usually 2” (5.25 cm), but can go up to 3”. Thick bars are supposed to increase muscle activation and help improve strength gains.
How heavy is a thick barbell?
An Olympic barbell weighs 20kg, or about 45 pounds, and is typically 7'2” long.
How do Olympic plates fit on standard bar?
How thick is a 25 lb plate?
25 lb Plate - Outside Diameter 11" | Thickness 1.5" 10 lb Plate - Outside Diameter 9" | Thickness 1" 5 lb Plate - Outside Diameter 8" | Thickness 0.75" 2.5 lb Plate - Outside Diameter 6.5" | Thickness 0.5"
How thick are bumper plates?
Bumper plates; or just bumpers; are Olympic-sized plates (450mm diameter with 50.4mm inserts) that are made of thick, dense rubber.
Where are rogue plates made?
Manufactured for more than a decade at the Hi-Temp plant in Tuscumbia, Alabama, Rogue Bumper Plates remain among the few American-made weightlifting plates on the market.
Are Fleck plates good?
The Rogue Fleck plates are our top pick for most people due to the value for money. REP's competition bumper plates score 10 out of 10 against our criteria and are what we recommend if you want accurate competition bumpers.
Are Rogue plates worth it?
The Bottom Line
We've tested and reviewed the Rogue HG 2.0 Bumper Plates and found them to be a great bumper plate for most garage gym owners. They can stand up whatever abuse you inflict, are accurate, have a low bounce, and are priced pretty good.
How many kg is plate?
|49.6||22.5||1 Black Plate|
|55.1||25||1 White Plate|
|66.1||30||1 Green Plate|
|77.1||35||1 Yellow Plate|
Can you bench press with an Olympic bar?
The Olympic barbell, which is the standard one used to bench press in most decent gyms, weighs exactly 20kg. That may or may not sound like a lot depending on your weight training experience. If it does, then you need to get up to speed with press-ups first.
Will bumper plates crack concrete?
With great bumper plates, you can absolutely lift and drop your bumper plates on concrete. You've got a lot of iron and a lot of weight coming down, so there is a slight risk to chipping or cracking your concrete floor. Additionally, it's not great for the barbell.
Is Olympic better than standard?
In truth, Olympic weights win by almost every comparison. Olympic plates are less disruptive while lifting, more adaptable and they are the weight of choice for competition. However, standard plates are often priced lower and are fine for lifters who aren't looking to go too heavy.
What are rotating sleeves?
The rotating sleeves on an Olympic barbell allow the weight plates to rotate as you move the bar. This reduces the amount of torque created by the plates, which provides a more secure grip and reduces stress on your wrists and elbows.
Are barbells meant to spin?
On an Olympic barbell, the shaft and bar ends are independent pieces, and the end must spin on the shaft to dampen the centrifugal force of the plates spinning on the bar. To allow the bar to spin more freely and reduce wear, a third piece sits in between the shaft and bar end.
Why are dumbbells called dumbbells?
The word “dumbbell” was officially coined in England during the sixteenth century when athletes trained with handheld bells with the clappers removed. Without these clappers, the bells were 'dumb,' hence, dubbed “dumbbells”. These first versions of adjustable dumbbells had canisters to hold sand or shot.
Why are Olympic bars so expensive?
More different production lines means more costs. You need different machines molds staff etc. All those costs are being put into the final cost of the product. You can see that lighter plates are cheaper overall but more expensive per pound than heavier plates.
Are Olympic barbells thinner?
Olympic bars are typically also slightly smaller in diameter (a.k.a. thinner), so that they're easier to grip throughout complex moves.
Are some Olympic bars heavier?
When it comes down to it, Olympic barbells are longer and heavier than regular, powerlifting barbells. Most gyms and commercial fitness centers have Olympic barbells because they hold more weight and are more durable than a regular barbell.
What are the thick barbells called?
The axle bar is another barbell that is popular among strongman competitors. It's a straight barbell that is a thicker alternative to the standard barbell. The bar is used primarily for axle clean and press exercises in competitions, but the thickness of the bar forces lifters to focus more on their grip.
How thick are deadlift bars?
While a standard men's barbell has a diameter of just more than an inch (28-28.5 mm is common for Rogue's bars) and a women's bar is just a hair less than an inch (25 mm), axle bars typically range from 1.9 to 3 inches in diameter (Rogue's axle is 1.9 inches or 48.2 mm).
Are all Olympic bars 20kg?
They are the most common type of bar you'll see in most gyms. Men's Olympic bars are 20kg for the men's bar, and 2.2 metres long. The collars (the wider parts on the ends) spin easily. If you load them up with plenty of weight, you will see that they are “whippy,” meaning the bar tends to flex or bounce easily.
What does the thick barbell do?
Through an action called muscle irradiation, thick bars stimulate more muscle fibers in your fingers, hands, forearms, and upper arms. This is because the nerve impulse in the surrounding muscles help with the actual muscle contraction. Thick bar training will benefit both forms of contraction.
Do all weights fit all bars?
The Different Sizes of Weight Plates
Olympic Discs have a 2" (50.6mm) diameter centre hole. These come as a standard size across the whole fitness industry. This is beneficial as they fit all commercial bars and most plate loaded gym equipment ranges such as our Sterling range.

What size snowboard do you need? It’s one of the first questions that you should address when buying a new snowboard, and if you’re a first-time snowboarder, it’s also a little confusing.
In this snowboard size guide, we’ll help you to find the perfect length and width based on your weight and size, as well as your level of experience.
How do You Know What Size Snowboard to Get?
Your weight is one of the most important considerations when it comes to choosing a snowboard size. If the snowboard is too short for your weight, it will feel very loose and you may struggle to control it when you reach high speeds. If the snowboard is too long, you will struggle to flex it.
A good rule of thumb for snowboard sizing is to go longer when you’re heavier and shorter when you’re lighter.
Does Height Or Weight Matter More For Snowboard Size?
Height and weight should both be considered, but weight is probably the most important. It controls how much pressure is on the snowboard and how much force is applied to the turns. It also dictates balance and control.
If you are very tall or short, height is also something that you might want to consider when it comes to picking out a new snowboard.
What is the Best Snowboard for a Beginner?
As a beginner, you should look for a softer flex to make the snowboard easier to control, a longer snowboard to give you more control (but not too long!), and a snowboard made by a reliable brand. Many snowboard companies have snowboards that are specifically tailored to beginners, and these are usually a good place to start.
Rider weight only really comes into it if you are much heavier or lighter than the average, and the only real considerations for beginner snowboards is the graphic/design and whether it’s in your budget or not.
When you’re a little more experienced, you can start thinking about the best snowboards in relation to your riding style and ability level, opting for features that provide you with greater maneuverability, allow you to hit higher speeds, and other important factors.
As a beginner, however, you don’t have to worry about any of that.
Snowboard Size Chart
To give you an idea of what snowboard size you need based on your weight, take a look at this snowboard size chart:
|Rider Weight||Snowboard Size|
|Under 80 lb. (36 kg)||90 to 135 cm.|
|80 to 110 lb. (36 to 50 kg)||135 to 146 cm.|
|110 to 120 lb. (50 to 54 kg)||142 to 148 cm|
|120 to 130 lb. (54 to 59 kg)||144 to 149 cm.|
|130 to 140 lb. (59 to 63 kg)||146 to 152 cm.|
|140 to 150 lb. (63 to 68 kg||148 to 154 cm.|
|150 to 160 lb. (68 to 73 kg)||151 to 156 cm.|
|160 to 170 lb. (73 to 77 kg)||152 to 158 cm.|
|170 to 180 lb. (77 to 82 kg)||153 to 159 cm.|
|180 to 190 lb. (82 to 86 kg)||155 to 161 cm.|
|190 to 200 lb. (86 to 91 kg)||157 to 163 cm.|
|200 to 210 lb. (91 to 95 kg)||158 to 165 cm.|
|Over 210 lb. (Over 95 kg)||159 to 168 cm.|
Summary: Snowboard Size Chart and Calculator
Whether you’re focusing on your weight, height, or riding style, there are several considerations when it comes to snowboard sizing.
What matters most, though, is that you feel comfortable on the snowboard and that it falls within your budget, so keep all of these things in mind the next time you’re at your local snowboard shop.
