Anyone tried the '23 and Me' ancestry and health checks? Is it worth it?
She used Ancestry not 23 and me.
She got it on a 50% off deal and said its probably not worth paying full price but what she got from it was good.
It only looked at her ancestry though nothing to do with health.
Cheers!! Just want to find out what percentage of an Ashkenazi Jew I am!! Also want to look at the health benefits!
Don't mind paying seperate for each.
You will almost certainly find a company that does a combined test. Hold out for a sale thoug as they have them quite often.

My good lady is out at the moment but I think she may have used that. I will ask her the second she steps back in the door

@ryan It works wonders for some people, is ok for others and I have met some people that it just is plain wrong for. Everyone is unique though
For me I find it helpful to boost weight loss, or diet clean up, such like I am doing now.
The other time I found it really good was in the final few weeks of a serious cut, but my carbs were so low by the time I got there that I was basically on keto anyway. -

Afternoon all.
One for the weightlifters this.
I helped out a young lady in the gym today who was finding it difficult to get the most from hamstring exercises. Briefly explained the mind muscle connection to her and advised how she could try adjusting the exercises to help.
For myself I have a poor connection to my biceps and a REALLY shocking time with rear delts.
Those of you who lift, do you focus on weak areas specifically and what personal tricks do you use to help connect with your weak or troublesome areas?
If I feel I have a weak area then I will up the volume marginally, maybe a couple of extra sets or maybe add it nearer the start of the workout. If im struggling with a connection then I’ll try different rep ranges and different exercises until I feel that connection. I always struggled with biceps but feel I’ve found a very strict cable curl helps. For rear delts I’ve never done anything direct but I do heavy BB rows and seated cable row with quite a wide neutral grip….does absolute wonders for rear delts!
Curious that, I found cable curls helped my connection too, probably something to do with a consistent resistance curve. I tend to strict curl on the concentric and slow drag curl the eccentric. Combine this with some high rep low weight dumbell work and I kinda get something out of it.
honestly though my biceps and rear delts are shocking.I have found similar to you as well that at the start of the session try a few reps on different exercises and see what hits best for that day.
I used to love BB rows, used to be one of my fav exercises. Sadly that is one of the exercises resigned to the bin since my back surgery.

@matt-wood Yes .. I think a few use it. Heston did for a while I think. I've never used it myself

@mark-maguire In your time across the food / hospitality business did you ever come across Transglutaminase (better known as meat glue)?
If you know /knew about it I just wondered how widespread it was or was not.

Christopher McDougall - Born To Run is the book that inspired me to start running (not barefoot but just in general), after literally decades of really not seeing the appeal and refusing to do more than about a mile
Orthotists, podiatrists etc hate it apparently because it caused a ton of people to go out and break their feet by switching to barefoot shoes. To be fair though, I do remember him cautioning against making the switch too quickly.

@john-folan Haha yep a 50th will probably set you back a little :party_popper:
If you use your BP monitor, best to take either 3 or 5 readings at once and average them.
Keep up the good work, apart from next week though
Yeah I’ve sussed that one. Deffo can’t rely on the 1st one

Good to see this thread still going. I’m still doing an hour of cardio/weights three times a week. Even more important now I am approaching 50. By approaching I mean my birthday is next week lol.
I’ve got a blood pressure monitor as well and I have regular 3 month blood tests to make sure my levels are all as they should be.
I am working to lose that last stone. It’s coming off gradually. Although I will probably have a setback over the next week
.Read the first post on both threads.
