This Workout Will Teach You to Train Like an Athlete

SURE, MOST GUYS want to look like some Greco-Roman statue, with slabs of lean muscle layered onto their biceps and shoulders and chest and thighs. The thing we often forget: You don’t want to move like a statue too. You want to move like an athlete, capable of channeling your strength in multiple ways, quickly shifting left and right when you need to, able to break into a jog or a run whenever you’re late for the train. You want to build muscle mass and power.The first part is straightforward enough; the second part is trickier. Power involves your ability to move quickly and explosively, as you do when you jump, and it keeps your body bouncy. And it’s this bounce that makes your muscle useful.

Justice Lee looks ‘through a glass darkly’ at Qantas claims of culture change

The question of whether Qantas has actually changed, almost two years after the sudden departure of divisive former boss Alan Joyce, hung heavy over the judgment that saw the airline fined $90 million in penalties yesterday for illegally outsourcing 1,820 staff under the cover of the COVID-19 pandemic.

That’s on top of the $100 million that Qantas was fined after being caught by the competition regulator for the selling of so-called ghost flights: available to book online but already cancelled by the airline. As he pondered the airline’s behaviour and whether there was any true “contrition” in its growing number of apologies for its behaviour, Lee was scathing, dismissing Qantas’s pangs...
