Hi there, Thanks for your patience in between episodes. If you've been following me on Instagram, you'll the scene that I've been overseas traveling in the UK and also in the us. And in particular, I. Coach track and field athlete and de athlete, Cedric Dubler who? Firstly, we went to the us and we competed at world champs where he finished eighth. One of his best finishes as a senior in the decathlon. And then 10 days later we went and competed. The Commonwealth games in the UK. And he finished third there, which was an incredible effort considering it was only 10 days in between. So firstly, just to do one decathlon is pretty tough and to do two is pretty amazing. Today's article review is perfect for to highlight how BFR can assist with anyone who has had quite an "extreme" injury and struggled to get back to some level of normal function.
