Raving & Training
Bellerophon Cold Brew took us by surprise, had a relaxing stretching session planned, but before you know it the hamstrings were copin' the ballistics.
I've found this dynamic stretching to be very effective, and it can be adopted for almost all stretches. Why not throw some beats on and get your daily rave requirements.
The Rope
We’ve attached a battle rope between some trees in our backyard. In doing so, we’ve transformed our garden into a place we can train and play. Simply installing a rope has caused us to get moving and spend more time outdoors. It’s cool to think that changing your environment can greatly influence the lifestyle you lead.
The Rock & “The Challenge”
We were pretty chuffed with our rope, but it felt as though our backyard was still missing something. We mulled it over for some time and then it dawned on us. It needed a big rock.
So we went on a mission. We drove around town scouting all the best rock sanctuaries we knew of.

Big Kids
Backyard games with the Biltong crew. Here Laingy and Luke see how close they can get to the ground in this artful game of trust and subtlety. One person simply holds on whilst the other slowly let's out the rope. This was the best effort of the day. Rugby boots are the next upgrade in getting more grip and depth.
Chopping Wood
Feel like you need to change up your training? Maybe it doesn't have to be a new barbell exercise.
Cutting wood is a valuable skill....that is, if you're ever going to want to cut wood. Which you likely will if you have the ability.

Dancing in the Sunlight
Sun's finally out in Canberra and there's no better way to take a movement break, grooving so hard to Dope Lemon's new album. After sitting down for a couple hours, pluging in and moving freely really draws good energy back in. Quality movement can be fun and a part of your everyday routine.
Raw Vegetables & Biltong
Biltong goes really well with raw veggies. Eating raw vegetables is stupidly easy and they taste great. A lot of the time uncooked veggies are even better for you than their cooked companions. “If you cook your veggies in water, you'll lose some water-soluble vitamins, because they leach out into the cooking water” I read. Screw that…
Searching for something better
We love biltong, but not just any Biltong - we’ve gotten used to the best, and the rest doesn’t cut it. Now we’re not saying our biltong is the best there can be; certainly not. One day perhaps, when old men, we’ll be confident in saying that Barbell Biltong is the best Biltong ever created and will ever be.

Stretching Break
10 min stretching break between biltong preparation. Doing middle split isometric holds. Loving the outdoors of Canberra.
Off the Beaten Path
I waded through the energy of the rapids with a crucial task: keep the camera and my biltong bag dry. One slip and it would be all over. The power of the rapids was fueled by the days of heavy rain Canberra has experienced. “Don’t slip, make sure of your step, take your time” I continually reminded myself; each moment required 100% concentration.
Biltong Scientists
1st test batch is hanging but we are still a few weeks out from getting our biltong to you. In the meantime Rory and I will try our best to eat as much biltong as possible to ensure it's just right.
