What was the secret to their superhuman stamina, virility and ability to please their loved ones in temperatures that would ordinarily shrink and shrivel a man’s ‘vital’ organs? Well, it seems a profound understanding of ancient philosophy and an age-old technique of ‘half-castration’.The man responsible for Chris Hemsworth’s enviable muscles, Ross Edgley, reveals the seasonal workout you need to replicate his superhero-esque rig. The segments of personal story really tie in well to the points the author wants to get across and really aid to inspire you, to see what they went through and really imagine what it was like. Also, having seen Ross talk in videos, I like how it is written exactly like he would speak it. It feels like youre having a conversation with him or listening to a story from them and not reading it. The focus is on “active recovery”, where both the volume and the intensity of training are kept low, allowing the mind and body time to rest.

The fact it comes with specific training programmes and instructions on how to perform each exercise mentioned, as well as providing the reasoning for why the exercise is included is a great help and removes the worry of not knowing if youre doing something right or planned something correctly with the tools in the book.

Extreme adventurer Ross Edgley in hospital after record-breaking Loch Ness swim Daily Record, 24 September 2022. Retrieved 24 September 2022Days later in his diary he expanded on this point and wrote, ‘We must go out and re-ally ourselves to Nature every day. We must make root, send out some little fibre at least, even every winter day. I am sensible that I am imbibing health when I open my mouth to the wind. Staying in the house breeds a sort of insanity always.’ After 52 hours and 39 minutes he was forced to end his swim early due to the onset of cellulitis and hypothermia and was taken to hospital where he messaged: "As you can probably tell the swim didn’t entirely go to plan, but the awareness raised for the charity was immense which makes the cellulitis and lost skin worth it." [21] [22] The swim was done in support of Parley for the Oceans (a nonprofit environmental organisation that focuses on ocean conservation), so was not governed by any swimming authority. The route and precise distance are unknown due to medical intervention, but Ross remains the only person to survive swimming in the cold waters of Loch Ness for more than 52 hours.
