    On an episode of the fitshow which I am sure a lot of you will have seen, the bodybuilder advises to to hold for one second when you bring the bar onto your chest instead of pushing straight back up.

    What are your thoughts on this?

    When you eat the foods your body is made for (Paleo foods) in a framework that your body is made for (feast-fast, such as IF), it all works beautifully.
