Walking Wounded founder accused of wasting veterans' charity money on adventures

Walking Wounded founder accused of wasting veterans' charity money on adventures

April 14, 2018

"Last year, without explanation, Walking Wounded was stripped of its charity status by the federal charities regulator."
Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated case. And not just with Veteran charities either. There is absolutely a reason why we vet the charities we support, before we donate to them. In vetting these organisations we assure ourselves that we're doing the right thing with more than just our time and money, because it is also your money.

Growing a business and all that is cool, but what about...

March 10, 2018

When you've been rocket man all week, you're going to need to take an absolute rest day. Training like a rockstar going towards elite athlete status is all cool, but without recovering properly - that's never going to happen. Don't pay off recovery because it is one of the most important things you can do when it comes to continual progress. The following terms & conditions to correct recovery have been scientifically proven by nerds in a lab and published in many peer-reviewed journals, so it's not just babble by some guy on the interwebs.

Do elevation masks increase performance?

February 20, 2018

Everyone is always looking for new and better ways to get stronger, fitter, faster. In a competitive setting, having access to some thing in training that gives you an edge over your opponent is a critical bonus. Everyone wants more for less. All you need to do is look at all the crap fad items that have been sold through TV marketing channels. Get yourself a shake-weight to improve your masturbating arm. Or 7 minute abs and an electric shock machine to get your fat arse into shape while you sit on the lounge eating a triple cheeseburger...
