On today's episode of Live Lean TV, I'm sharing how to break through any fat loss plateau, by following a periodization approach, to the next 18 weeks of your workouts.
But before we get into all of that, the reason most people hit fat loss plateaus is because they don't follow a properly structured workout program.
This means you stay in your safe zone and only do things you're comfortable with.
Often this means becoming a cardio king or queen, or simply using the same machines, with the same weights, month after month.
In the beginning, this may have worked for you because you were new to the gym and experiencing what we call "newbie gains".
These newbie gains, in the form of fat loss or muscle building, happen because you're challenging your body with a new stimulus that it's not used to.
So your body responds quickly, even when don't follow a workout program.
Unfortunately these newbie gains are short term, and don't last.
And that's why I'm going to share the best approach on how to break through any fat loss plateau.
But first, let me ask you, are you following a structured workout program?
If not, this is the best way to break through any fat loss program, when the programming is done properly, which we'll talk about in a bit.
But first.
If you're following a structured workout program, are you cheating on your current workout program, with another workout program?
Here's what I mean by this.
One of the biggest mistakes that slows fat loss progress, is not sticking with a workout program, throughout it's intended time frame.
They get super excited to start a new workout program, then get bored, and switch to the next cool program of the month.
This program hopper phenomenon is one of the main reasons people never experience the fat loss results they should, which often leads to a fat loss plateau.
My advice to anyone being trained online, or in person, is to trust the process, stay committed, and stick to the macro plan.
Here's what I mean by the macro plan.
Rather than looking at your workouts as one offs, start looking at your workouts in the macro.
In the personal training world, we call this the periodization of training.
Periodization of training is about breaking down your overall goals, into smaller periods of focused training.
These workout programs are usually divided into 6 week phases, or specific periods, that are meant to support, compliment, and build on each phase.
By doing this, each 6 week workout program period or phase, builds on to the next 6 week period or phase of training.
For example, by completing a phase 1, 6 week workout program, it should build on preparing you to complete the phase 2, 6 week workout program.
Here's a real world example.
Meet John.
John has been training in the gym for 6 months, with a fat loss goal of getting down to 175 pounds.
He started at 220 lbs, then lost 20 pounds within the first 4 months.
John was loving the "newbie fat loss gains".
But then John has been stuck in a fat loss plateau for the past 2 months.
John is your infamous program hopper.
He starts a program, is super excited in the beginning, then he see's an enticing headline in a Facebook ad, buys the program, and then quits his current program.
No matter how many different workouts he tries, he can't break through this fat loss plateau.
So here's the deal John.
Once you lose the initial few pounds, then the real challenge begins.
Sustainable fat loss.
This is where periodization of training can help break through any fat loss plateau.
If I was training John, here's an example of how I'd structure his Live Lean workouts using a periodization of training approach.
During phase 1 of programming I would structure John's workouts on primarily helping him get stronger, via my 42 Days To Lean Strength workout program.
You may be thinking, why would John want to get stronger, if his goal is fat loss?
Here's the deal, getting stronger is one of the best ways to break through any fat loss plateau.
By getting stronger first, you prepare your body to be more efficient at building lean muscle.
In other words, increasing your strength helps you build more lean muscle.
More lean muscle equals a higher metabolism and more calorie burn, thus helping you break through any fat loss plateau.
See how one style of training, builds on to another, which ultimately leads to your ultimate goal of fat loss?
Plus, during this strength phase, you may also build muscle and lose fat.
After completing my 6 week Live Lean Strength program, this would bring John to phase 2.
During phase 2 of programming, I would structure John's workouts on building muscle, via my Live Lean Mass 2.0 workout program.
Since John already completed the strength phase, he'll now be able to lift heavier weights, which means building more lean muscle, thus increasing his metabolism and fat burning potential.
During this muscle building phase, you may also lose fat.
After completing my 6 week Live Lean Mass program, this would bring John to phase 3.
During phase 3 of programming, I would structure John's workouts on body recomposition and fat loss, via my Live Lean Afterburn 2.0 program.
Body recomposition simply means, burning stored body fat while maintaining lean muscle tissue.
Often times people will follow extreme fat loss programs which also burn into lean muscle tissue.
This ultimately ruins your metabolism, thus slowing fat burning.
With Live Lean Afterburn 2.0, your workouts are structured to preserve lean muscle tissue, while burning into the last 5-10 pounds of body fat.
At this 18 week period, by following the workouts and staying consistent with your nutrition, John should be close to or have reached his 175 pounds physique.
Now it's time for John to follow a maintenance program that incorporates all aspects of training, including strength, muscle building, and fat loss style workouts, via our Team Live Lean workouts.
That's how you follow a Live Lean approach to periodization.
One phase builds on to the next to make it easier for you to accomplish your ultimate fitness goal.
Thus, the overall 18 week plan is greater than it's individual 6 week phases.
If you're not following properly structured workout program, that's your first step.
I recommend Live Lean Newbie, to all people who are new to weight lifting.
But if you consider yourself an intermediate at lifting weights, I recommend you try 42 Days to Live Lean Strength, then follow the periodization of training as explained above.
Ultimately this will provide you with the framework to breakthrough any fat loss plateau and get sustainable fat loss results.
No matter how consistent you are at going to the gym, if you workouts don't provide you with the plan to get the results you want, you're destined to hit a plateau.
So give this periodized approach to training a try, and break through any fat loss plateau to get optimal results.
Thanks for watching and keep Living Lean.

WASA Scores Another Dredging Contract in Norway
WASA Dredging, a Finnish marine offshore and inland water construction company, yesterday signed a contract with the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) – Kystverket for blasting and dredging works in Grøtøyleden, Norway.
Under the contract, WASA will be deepening six different areas in the fairway – 136.536 m² in total.
"We have calculated that we will have to dredge a total amount of about 450.000 m³ of material due to the bulking factor of the rocks," Mr. Daniel Backlund from Wasa Dredging revealed exclusively for Dredging Today.
The masses will be taken to two nearby sea-reclamation sites.
"In addition to this, WASA will have a lot of work with the 'infrastructure' of the fairway; removing old pipes, replacing buoys, putting out new buoys and so on," added Mr. Backlund.
The Finnish contractor will deploy the combined dredger/blasting pontoon 'Boulder' for this job.
The start of this capital dredging program is scheduled for the beginning of 2017, and all work should be wrapped up by September 15, 2017.

This viola was inspired by an instrument made by 16th century luthier from Brescia, Giovanni Paolo Maggini. The viola's varnish is slightly aged, and a patina has been created on the surface, to make the instrument similar to the original. The sound is similar to the original powerful bass of the viola and rich in harmonics.

President Trump's early fundraising numbers show he not only has a stockpile of cash -- raising over $30 million in the first quarter -- but is doing particularly well among one donor demographic: women.
According to a recently released analysis from the Center for Responsive Politics, 45 percent of Trump's donations during the fundraising period came from women.
That would be the third-highest percentage among all 2020 candidates. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., took the top spot with 52 percent of donations coming from female donors and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., came in second with 49 percent of her donations coming from women. CRP analyzed data for itemized donations over $200.
While Trump continues to face high disapproval ratings among women, the campaign finance numbers suggest a core group of followers keeping the faith with the president. For their part, his re-election campaign credits the president's straight-talk approach to issues.
"He talks about women just like he would talk to a typical American voter," said Kayleigh McEnany, press secretary for the 2020 Trump campaign. "Democrats pander to women. President Trump acts for women and speaks to women."
The campaign also points out that Trump reported more female donors than any other candidate -- with 10,329 women donating to his campaign, followed by Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., with 3,850 donors and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., with 3,271 donors. This is somewhat to be expected, however, since Trump is the incumbent Republican candidate while Democrats are locked in a crowded primary and splitting the vote -- and the donor pool -- for now.
"The results of the Trump economy, including near record-low unemployment for women – translates into enthusiasm, donations, and ultimately, votes," Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel in a statement. "Just as President Trump has delivered on his promises, women voters will be an integral part of President Trump's successful re-election in 2020."
Trump, at a rally in Panama City Beach, Fla., on Wednesday, touted the economy as a top reason for that support.
"The women's unemployment rate is the lowest in more than 65 years and soon will be a record low," he said among cheers from the crowd.
Beyond economic issues, women at the rally who supported Trump in 2016 told Fox News that the top issue on their minds heading into 2020 is immigration. And they like the president's tough approach.
"I think I like the fact that he's kind of out there, kind of wild, and he's not afraid to address the issues," said Irene Fowlas. "He's not afraid to be for opposition. He knows how to address issues head on."
Teresa Graham said she'd like to see Congress – and especially other Republicans – support the president more on this topic.
"I think that Congress needs to do something," she said. "They need to support our president and so do the Republicans. ... I'm sick of them not supporting him. He's up here trying to do everything all by himself. It's not fair."
But whether the fundraising figures indicate women are turning for Trump remains to be seen. In the latest Fox News poll, Trump faced a steep disapproval from women, with 59 percent saying they disapprove of his performance in office compared with 38 percent who approve. Among white women as well, the president's numbers are underwater. Fifty-two percent of white women disapprove of the job he's doing as president, while 45 percent approve.
The first quarter totals also did not include Democratic candidate Joe Biden, who has emerged as the early front-runner after his announcement last month. Biden has faced allegations of inappropriate touching from several women but continues to hold popularity among female voters.
In a CNN poll conducted late last month after the allegations broke, 54 percent of women said they had a favorable opinion of Biden compared with 35 percent who had an unfavorable opinion. Among Democratic women, that number jumps to 86 percent.
Last year's midterms also showed historic turnout among female voters, many of whom voted for Democrats – something party strategists predict will happen again in 2020.
"2018 showed where the GOP stands with women and if healthcare is the number one issue again -- which it looks to be -- women aren't going to be voting Republican," said Jessica Tarlov, a Democratic strategist and Fox News contributor.
But Republicans aren't worried. They say that even with the historic number of female candidates on the other side -- and Biden's entrance into the race -- they feel confident women will be swayed by the president's record.
"What matters is qualification, and a field of socialists is sure to lose against the president," said McEnany. "That would include Joe Biden who oversaw the worst economic recovery in modern history. So we're not scared of Joe Biden the socialist or any of his socialist peers."
Fox News' David Spunt and Matt Leach contributed to this report.

Thom Mathews, a name that means nothing to most people, but to me, he's the best unknown horror actor of the 1980s. Not only did he play a great Tommy Jarvis in Friday the 13th, Part 6, but he acted alongside James Karen twice in Return of the Living Dead and Return of the Living Dead 2 (as "Freddy" and then "Joey"). He played slightly psychotic characters with the right amount of over-the-top acting required for working with masked killers and punk rock zombies.
Thom is a friend of George Clooney's and though they appeared on ER together once (apparently), they never appeared on The Facts of Life together. Thom now owns a construction company but every so often will pop up in a film.
Thom Mathews, this is for you. "But they smell so good… so spicy…"

iText 7 Core with pdfHTML and pdfRender: at the heart of SpeedyPDF Sign-Offs for Jira
RadBee's innovative and disruptive solution for integrating electronic signatures into Jira Cloud workflows.
RadBee is a UK-based technology company which specializes in providing custom eQMS software solutions to the MedTech, biotech, and pharmaceutical sectors. Serving companies from startup to enterprise, they develop innovative quality management processes that align with their customers' product development needs.
Companies in these sectors lean heavily on such quality management processes, since they often need to comply with stringent regulatory requirements, such as the United States Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 21 CFR Part 11. Historically, FDA submissions and audits required hard copies signed with a pen, however, as paper documents became electronic files and items (i.e., databases), the FDA needed to define acceptable digital documentation parameters.
In a nutshell, CFR Part 11 defines a set of conditions designed to ensures the authenticity of any submitted electronic file, which means if an electronic file is compliant with the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11, it can be inspected by the FDA. Similar regulations and guidelines are in effect from European authorities and others, and achieving the standards needed for compliance and auditing is crucial in MedTech, biotech, and pharmaceutical fields.
In turn, companies and organizations working in these sectors have increasingly adopted electronic quality management (eQMS) software solutions to assist with their workflows and processes. A popular choice in these (and many other) sectors are the solutions developed by Atlassian, such as Jira and Confluence.
RadBee was established to fill a need for custom eQMS software which RadBee's co-founder, Rina Nir experienced at first-hand with the pain of processing a mountain of regulatory-related documents and bills for her successful MedTech startup. "Shortly after that" she says, "I launched RadBee to deliver to life sciences companies quality management processes that align with their product development needs. I wanted to see less waste and more impact."
One such product is Speedy PDF Sign-Offs for Jira Cloud. This is an Atlassian Cloud Application designed to help agile teams capture electronic signatures and document issue resolution and approvals without slowing down their flow. It takes just seconds to install and is immediately available to support your entire Jira instance, projects, and issue types by creating a beautifully formatted Speedy PDF record of a specific moment in time, which can be electronically signed and archived safely in a matter of seconds.
Speedy PDF Sign-Offs benefits organizations by delivering an easy, trustworthy way to demonstrate that a team or enterprise followed their standard operating procedures, such as industry-specific testing processes when releasing a product. It provides a virtual, time-stamped paper trail that shows all proper governance was followed during workflows, with evidence that all of the required documentation was provided, reviewed, and signed.
Crucially for RadBee's customer requirements, the sign off process complies with regulations such as FDA CFR 21 Part 11. This means that the electronically signed Speedy PDF records can also facilitate passing regulatory audits.
- make it easier for people to have official signatures on JIRA issues, to serve as an official record
- include all required content from Jira issues in a signed, archivable PDF documents
- seamless integration of eSignature within the Jira Cloud platform
- developing an application for a multi-cloud environment
- including all relevant fields and attachments from a ticket
- finding a suitable PDF library capable of meeting the task
Actually, iText was not RadBee's first choice when developing their solution. Initially they began development of Speedy PDF using a competing commercial PDF library SDK and utilizing Apache's XSL-FO to design their document templates. However, they quickly ran into technical problems.
Firstly, with one of the key product requirements of embedding files within a PDF as attachments, but also with the design element. "We had some problems working with styles inside XSL-FO" says lead developer Dmitrii Saltykov. "It's difficult to make a design with this format."
When the problems proved to be insurmountable, it was clear a better solution was needed. "After that, we decided to research a new library and I found iText" continues Dmitrii. "We began using it and it looked like it would be very suitable for us, it was extremely easy to connect to and work with."
iText also proved to be easy to pick up, with Dmitrii making use of the wealth of user documentation. "If I want to do something I just open the official site and very quickly find what I need" he says. "iText is very readable and easy to understand. Also, in iText I don't need to write lots of code, you already provide almost all the methods necessary to do something."
Making the Speedy PDF records PDF/A compliant for long-term archival requirements is on the roadmap, and iText's PDF/A capabilities were actually an important factor for RadBee. Indeed, its reputation amongst developers for PDF specification compliance, performance, and stability is a benefit. "It's good for us to be using a commercial high-end library used by so many big organizations and so well recognized. I think it makes the product more powerful, and future proofs our investment" says Rina.
iText is very readable and easy to understand. Also, in iText I don't need to write lots of code, you already provide almost all the methods necessary to do something.
Dmitrii Saltykov, RadBee Senior Software Engineer
How it works
Speedy PDF's front-end is built using Firebase, a platform developed by Google for creating mobile and web applications. There is a server layer that runs on Firebase, which when a Speedy PDF record request is made retrieves the data from Jira. It is then sent to a serverless application running on Google Cloud which prepares a HTML template for iText to process.
The process is remarkably simple and straightforward from a user perspective, although many steps are involved behind the scenes. Getting all the components to work smoothly was a significant challenge for RadBee's development team "We had a lot of adventures around getting it all to work with the Firebase and Google Cloud platforms" says Rina. "Happily, from all the different moving parts that we have, using iText has been quite a good experience. We had no major problems or significant bugs whatever."
All this complexity is hidden from the user however, since everything happens within Jira, using a pop-up interface. When someone creates a new Speedy PDF record request, the Speedy PDF UI generates an HTML template containing all the necessary documentation from the Jira issue, including any attachments. This template is processed by iText's pdfHTML add-on, and a PDF is generated for the specified people to sign. RadBee utilizes the pdfRender add-on to display the actual PDF within the Speedy PDF UI Jira pop-up, and users can download the PDF to verify what they are signing off on. Signatures are authorized with the use of emailed OTP tokens, and then inserted into the PDF. Once all this is completed, the signed Speedy PDF record appears in Jira for the requestor's approval.
The Speedy PDF record PDF acts as a standalone ready-to-archive record which is kept separate from the Jira issue. So, even if the issue is deleted, the record will remain, compatible with the FDA CFR 21 part 11 requirements.
The wealth of documentation available for iText was a boon for RadBee's development team. As Rina puts it, "You have a lot of code snippets in your documentation, so a lot of examples that we could use - very straightforward
An additional benefit during development was iText RUPS, our PDF debugging tool. This allows you to inspect a PDF and see its structure and syntax using a graphical interface. "I wrote some specific logic to implement annotations inside our PDFs for attachments. For example, we're using some JavaScript so that when you click on an annotation you will download the file attachment immediately" explains Dmitrii. "It was very useful to use this tool to implement the logic for our attachments, because it was very difficult to understand which dictionary I should get in my specific logic, and this tool really helped to solve my problem."
Indeed, RUPS has frequently proved invaluable to our internal developer and support teams, and we're pleased to hear other developers find it useful too. If you're not using it already, download it now!
From a technical standpoint, iText was really a highlight in terms of the fact that it was easy to implement and easy to get working.
Rina Nir, RadBee co-founder and CEO
Speedy PDF Sign-Offs is available now on the Atlassian Marketplace for Jira Cloud users and is currently free-to-use. "We released it for free so that we can get as much feedback and see what are the use cases that people are picking up on" says Rina. The feedback from users will guide RadBee's plans to expand on the feature set, based on their customers' requirements.
One thing that was quite surprising to RadBee was that the users are not necessarily from heavily-regulated industries. The automotive industry, development houses, and even marketing agencies count among Speedy PDF's userbase, and it is clear that the features and benefits of being able to track and sign-off on Jira workflows extend beyond their traditional customers.
At iText, we're interested to see how Speedy PDF develops, and we wish RadBee luck with its future endeavors.

There's speculation around whether sand tires are necessary with all-terrain and other aggressive tread pattern tires. And with endless tire brands making leaps and bounds to produce tires that can perform in any condition, the question that arises is – are sand tires worth it?
Depending on your driving habits, of course. Sand tires are crucial in some uneven terrain and weather conditions where other all-purpose tires fail to compete. However, this isn't to say sand tires are completely free of faults.
So, in the following article, we'll discuss some of the pros and cons of using top sand tires to really put them up to the test.
Table of Contents
Advantages of Sand Tires
Sand tires have helped innumerable drivers during tough rides with their incredible features. Here are a couple of things that many motorists have praised when discussing the qualities of sand tires –
One of the things that encourages a driver to buy sand tires is their outstanding traction. Unlike other tires that claim to tread on the sand, actual sand tires have raised peaks as their tread pattern, enabling them to "dig" through sandy terrain.
This is different from the grip and release design of other tires, which eventually wear out tread depth a lot faster than sand tires.
Hot Weather Resistance
Sand tires are great for traveling the dunes and around areas with hot climates in general. Since sand tires are engineered specifically according to how they perform in gravelly and/or sandy terrain, they come with impressive heat resistance and protection from hot weather damage.
This is great if you live in warmer climates or want to drive across lands with excessive sand, gravel, loose dirt, etc.
Usually, sand tires are used to ride in the dunes, groveled lands, and sometimes even snow. These tires are manufactured to withstand a lot of heat, friction, harsh abrasion, weather damage, and force. Since they are required to endure so much, they are made with extremely durable material to carry out these features.
Due to the incredible durability of sand tires, they can be considered very reliable for long-term and heavy-duty use.
Compared to high-end brands selling all-season tires at skyrocketing prices, sand tires are significantly cheaper and offer the same quality and features. Plus, sand tires are much more durable, which means they provide more mileage and, therefore, reliability for long-term use.
Disadvantages of Sand Tires
There are only a handful of disadvantages to using sand tires, and they all have to do with compatibility.
Sand tires are big and usually don't fit every car, so not every driver enjoys its benefits.
Plus, if you don't drive around in sand or gravel too often or live in a hot climate location, sand tires will not cause any significant changes. So, if you're able to drive with regular A/T tires, there's no reason to switch to sand tires except for more sand traction.
So, are sand tires worth it? With everything being said, sand tires are definitely worth it if you are on the search for added sand traction, heat resistance, extended mileage, and reliable tires.
We hope we've cleared any queries about what to expect from sand tires and that you can now consider if they're good enough to try.

Only Human-A Look At The Works Of Martin Parr
A new exhibition taking an in-depth look at the life and works of one of Britain's best-known and most widely celebrated photographers, Martin Parr, is showing at Wolfson and Lerner Galleries in the National Portrait Gallery at St Martin's Place. The exhibition, which features many of Parr's most well-known works, is ongoing from 7 March through 27 May 2019.

Exhibition Timing
When asked about the current social and political climate in the UK and the timing of the exhibition, Parr had this to say, "It's a good time to reflect on who we are, what we're doing, where we are going – the whole question of British identity. This set of work hints at what is going on."
What The Media Is Saying
The media reviews of Only Human are all favourable with many 4 and 5 star reviews from some of the UK's best known entertainment magazines and websites.
Es. had this to say about the exhibition: "His best photographs hold a mirror up to the viewer: it's us, fed by our own histories, our political outlooks, our vanities and pretensions, who determine the photographs' meaning."

If a girl does not want to live anymore in a marriage with an Egyptian, she should remember that from a tanned husband "getting rid of" is difficult, but possible. This was stated by a Russian woman on the Yandex.Zen channel and spoke about the mistakes that compatriots can make on purpose or not on purpose in order to reliably push away representatives of the strong half of the country of pyramids.
Let's list the "harmful" advice from a Russian woman living in Egypt. First, the author advised him to speak ill of his parents, especially focusing on his mother. "Especially about the mother. For an Egyptian, a mother is sacred, this is his ideal of a woman. His dearest person. Not every wife is able to take as much place in the heart of a Muslim husband as his mother. It is insulting to talk about an Egyptian mother-in-law – this is a direct path to divorce. Reproaches that the husband sends money to his mother or buys gifts for her are also effective," the blogger shared.
Secondly, regularly talk to your husband about the rejection of religion and faith. The author noted that talking about atheism will offend her husband just like laughing during his prayer.
Thirdly, avoid intimacy as much as possible, referring to any reasons if the Egyptian demands the fulfillment of marital duty. And vice versa, to joke and say that he is a weakling if he is tired and does not agree at the moment to an intimate relationship. In addition, the author recommended talking about her ex-men.
"Dress up only when you have any special occasions or when you are going out. And in everyday life at home, for your husband, absolutely do not try to look attractive and sexy. Ignore what he likes when you put on nice lingerie or wear perfume. Deodorants and toothpaste are also not needed. No sugaring," added the author.
On the street, you should definitely dress vulgarly, and if you have a walk with an Egyptian, then you need to make a sad face. It will not be superfluous to correspond with your husband and at the same time accompany the action with a mysterious smile on your face, and flirt with his friends and have frank conversations about yourself: "If you say something rudely to your husband in the presence of your friends, you will immediately checkmate him."
If a girl notices some kind of failure or blunder in the affairs of an Egyptian husband, this can be used to your advantage: "It is advisable to call for a conversation when he came home from work hungry and point out his mistakes in detail, emphasizing what he is Jonah. At the same time, hint that other, familiar Egyptians are definitely smarter and more successful than him."
"Say that Egyptian food is too greasy, spicy, tasteless and you will never cook Arabic dishes. And don't cook! Change Egyptian channels when he's at home. No football on TV!" – the Russian woman categorically stated.
Also, our compatriot urged to "dig" in her husband's phone. "Ask again who called him and why it seemed to you that he was sent a heart. Don't even listen if you make excuses and say that in Egypt men can send hearts to each other for Ramadan. Make a scandal. Or better yet, shut up for a week or two," she advised.
In addition to everything, one must constantly complain and whine that everything around is not a pleasure: work, lack of things in the wardrobe and, in the end, about himself. "The best time to start complaining is when your husband is in a good mood, successful at work or having a family holiday. Remind me often how Egypt and everything infuriates you," the Russian woman clarified.
The author also noticed that the degradation method works well. "Let your life be nothing but salons, shops and girlfriends. Make 4D false eyelashes and long nails. And tell your husband that you can't do housework with your hands like that. Let him understand that you absolutely do not think about the household, about personal and career growth. At least one healthy and self-confident man is unlikely to want to live with a person who does not know how to do anything (except shopping)," the Russian woman concluded.
For those who value a healthy lifestyle, we recommend reading: " The doctor spoke about the dangers of pulling out gray hair."

Skarre, Admiral of the Black Fleet
|99% of this website is about Mark 3 (mk3), which is the previous edition of the game (2016 to 2022). The reasons for this are explained here.
1% of the website is about Mark 4 (mk4), but only in regards to which mk3 models are useable in mk4 Prime and which are mk4 Unlimited. See Legacy Armies for more detail.
| Skarre, Admiral of the Black Fleet
| Prime
This model is available in one Prime Army, Black Fleet. It can also be used in the Unlimited game mode. You can view the other Mk3 models that made it into a Legacy Army at this page.
Note that the rest of this page is about the model's Mark III rules.
Perched on the shattered timbers of her ghost ship, Skarre Ravenmane brings ruin to the mainland, the thudding of her iron cannons beating out a rhythm of war wherever she travels. She chooses companions aboard her funeral ship from the most accomplished Satyxis reavers, sending them into masses of infantry to claim a plunder of fresh blood. The ghostly chariot she rides was once the wreckage of a ship captained by pirate King Moorcraig, who had defied Toruk and died in the Dragonfather's all-consuming flames. The ancient dead hold this accursed vessel's shattered aft section aloft and are ground under its hull as it glides across the earth.

Theme Forces
Thoughts on Skarre3
Skarre3 in a nutshell
Skarre, Admiral of the Black Fleet, is a highly versatile and powerful warcaster that is more than capable of leading any Cryx army. Thanks to her flexible spell list, Skarre is a strong contender for all of Cryx's theme forces. Spells such as Guided Fire allow Skarre to run a very battlegroup-centric Black Industries army, focused on ranged warjacks such as the Kraken, Reaper, or Leviathan. On the other hand, spells such as Dash also allow Skarre to run a dangerously fast infantry-centric Scourge of the Broken Coast army. Whether you like the look of models such as the newly resculpted Satyxis Raiders or the upcoming Scharde Pirates, Skarre can make any infantry fighting under her banner shine.
Skarre 3 is a support-style Warcaster that brings a solid shooting platform to the table. She should synergize well with her battle group and supports a variety of Cryx options. Reinforcements [Living] gives excellent support to the living portions of the Black Fleet (Scourge of the Broken Coast). Guided Fire and Deceleration have proved very powerful in Black Industries and Infernal Machines lists.
Spell thoughts
- Dash - Because Skarre3 isn't a warrior model, she doesn't get Parry from this spell. Don't try for a flying assassination just to die to free strikes!
- Draconic Blessing - Blighted Trollkin Marauders have the Thrown rule on their weapons, which means the +2 STR translates to +2 POW on their ranged attacks.
Feat thoughts
While her feat doesn't read as impressive as other casters, remember that the damage you take to cast every one of her spells can be healed either by spending focus (effectively reducing the cost of her spells to 1), or by having a model with the Repair ability patch her up and largely negate the 'drawback'.
Her feat turn becomes more about leveraging your newly freed up focus stack to either position aggressively and camp or load up a few warjacks.
Drawbacks & Downsides
- This model is a BAHI model. It is not available in stores, it can only be purchased directly from PP's online store (or 2nd hand).
- She is on a huge base, with mediocre defensive stats. She can die very fast if you are not careful. In particular, avoid to greedily send her in melee if that does not win you the game
- No damage buff for ranged attacks.
Tricks & Tips
- Although you need to carefully consider if/when to get into melee, Skarre on a Boat can potentially do quite a bit there.
- She's a living model, not a construct, so Axiara can target the boat with battle plans.
- Mostly you'll give her Reposition so the boat can move, shoot/cast spells, then scoot back to safety.
- But you could give her Dodge (although DEF 12 won't get missed that often) ...
- ... or even Prowl. Yes, she can get stealth via Prowl, even though battle engines never get the +2 DEF from concealment. There is a difference between "Does this model have concealment (and thus get Prowl)?" and "Does this model benefit from concealment (and thus get +2 DEF)?"
- Resolve Reinforcements before you use rules like Vengeance or the heal from a Steamroller Stockpile.
List Building Advice
Skarre3 is one of those toolbox casters who don't have one set strategy, but instead adapts to whatever is needed for a particular matchup. So what she "needs" to have in her army list is kind of dictated by how you want to play her!
In saying that, though, she does like to buff her army to work at an attrition advantage then, when your enemy's offensive power is somewhat depleted, Skarre can make her presence felt with her natural tankiness and personal offensive potential.
Leverage Skarre's spells and abilities to again an advantage on attrition. Select the right spells for the right occasion. If you need to win a firefight, use Deceleration and Guided Fire. To push aggressively for scenario, consider Deceleration and Dash. Dark Waves and Dash can give you unusual reach into the enemy lines for spot removal or even assassination. Draconic Strength is so awesome that it might be hard to find who doesn't want this spell.
Theme thoughts
Short version: Skarre3 is probably best in Scourge of the Broken Coast.
Support models - Various themes
- Black Ogrun Iron Mongers are a fantastic addition. Between decent armor, dismantle, and their ability to repair, they make competent guardians for Skarre and her typically ranged battlegroup.
- Cephalyx Overlords are a good option in the undead themes, because they become your only Reinforcement target. They're not a shabby option in the living themes, either, for that matter.
This is the theme to go in if you want her to lead a 'jack gunline. Deceleration plus Carapace makes your jacks +6 ARM vs shooting, Guided Fire gives you plenty of accuracy, and Dark Waters is just silly with so many 'jacks to choose from, something will always be able to move somewhere interesting.
- You'll want Black Ogrun Ironmongers for a reinforcement target.
- You'll probably take multiple Leviathans.
This is where it's at, tbh. The theme is just so diverse that you can make a much better generalist list with it, and Skarre3 is the supreme generalist. Slaughter Fleet doesn't lean hard into any part of her kit, but it uses everything on her card which no other theme really does.
- Bloodgorgers or Marauders are an excellent target for Draconic Blessing. Note that the Marauder's guns also benefit from the STR buff.
- Kharybdis makes excellent use of Guided Fire.
- A Kraken and a sea of medium-based models to screen your two huge bases has proven quite effective. The Kraken can use its 4" noodle arms to reach over the sea.
- Satyxis are just silly with Dash - it's not the +1 SPD that does it (although that is nice to have), but rather the stupid mobility tricks enabled by giving Satyxis of all stripes Parry. Decel is quite nice in scourge to save your super-solos from scattering blasts and the like, but will do very little to protect infantry.
- Satyxis Blood Priestess - She does a ton for Skarre. Granting Sucker! helps her stay alive, as does Distillation or dispelling upkeeps and animi, while the free upkeep helps her focus efficiency. Rites of Blood does nothing for her though, as all of her spells are either target SELF, an upkeep or range CTRL.
In Dark Host you're looking to leverage Deceleration in combo with the Wraith Engine and/or Darragh to make Banes nigh-immune to small arms fire, and leveraging Dash in combo with Darragh's Death Ride to give you a legitimate threat.
- Warriors become ARM 19 with tough/Rise, Bane Knights become ARM 22 while B2B, and Bane Riders are ARM 22 with 5 boxes and Vengeance.
- Desecrators are the frequently the warjack of choice for Dark Host given their inherent synergy with Bane Infantry. With Skarre they benefit her guided fire and ranged armor buff.
- Ragman the usual damage buff, but he also is a huge boon to survivability to her. The Sucker granted by the Blood Priestess is not optional, so armies like SHadows of the Retribution or Gravediggers will weather her with low POW shooting, trying to kill all of her sucker targets first since she has to bounce all of the shots into something. If Ragman is around, she can Sucker into him, he can then Sac Pawn it back into her, where low POW shooting will most likely bounce off her massive hull.
- Ranged jacks. Untypically for Cryx, she has very few uses for an arc node, and she don't help melee jacks that much, with only a single target upkeep usually better used with infantry. Guided fire make spray much better, so a Defiler to deal with infantry and place Draconic Blessing more easily can still be useful.
First Seven Purchases
A few veteran players have put their heads together and tried to figure out the seven best things to buy for this specific caster. This is not designed to add up to a nice round points limit, nor be balanced vs other "First Seven" lists you find on this website. It is simply going to give you some of the essentials this caster needs most of the time.
- Warjack: Leviathan
- Warjack: Leviathan
- Solo: Gerlak
- Solo: Axiara
- Solo: Satyxis Blood Priestess
- Unit: Blighted Trollkin Marauders
- Unit: Bloodgorgers + CA
Note that you should definitely magnetise the Leviathans, as it is very rare that any other Cryx caster will want two of them. Alternatively, you could swap them out for a single Kraken which has roughly the same amount of firepower.
- Originally released in the Black Fleet CID (2017.11)
- The sculptor, Doug Hamilton, took suggestions from the Cryx Facebook group for one of the crew members. The one with the scar and broken horn.
- She can be affected by a Repair roll, but her boat can never be fixed.
- Dark Waters has been nicknamed "Shipstream" due to its similarity with the Slipstream animus.

The dreaded treadmill that plagues your workout could be a thing of the past. Whether you are beginning your weight loss journey or looking for new ways to lose those last few pesky pounds, the stair climber might be the machine for you. By implementing stair climber cardio sessions into your weekly routine will help you tone your legs and core while dropping the fat.
The Rise of the Stair Climber
The stair climber has lived in the shadow of the treadmill for some time now. While targeting key muscle groups such as the quads, glutes, and abdomen, the stair climber also provides a high-intensity sweaty workout without the agony of running. The most effective way to burn fat is by incorporating strength training to build muscle mass and cardio to burn calories fast. The stair climber works to combine both of these fundamentals while boosting your butt and toning your abs.
Benefits of a Stair Climber That You Need to Know
The Secret to Weight Loss
Weight loss is what we are all here for. With the quarantine keeping us locked indoors, it is common to head into this holiday season with a few extra pounds under your belt. Lucky for you, weight loss doesn't have to be as big of a struggle and even may be a lot simpler than you think.
The big secret formula to weight loss is strength training and cardio. Maintaining a calorie deficit throughout the day is the key to losing weight, hence why cardio is so important. However, this does not mean you have to run. There are plenty of less strenuous high-intensity cardio workouts that can make your trip to the gym more enjoyable, such as the stair climber or walking on the treadmill at a steep incline. These two exercises target similar muscle groups and provide the same general movement blasting fat fast.
Muscle Toning
Implementing strength training into your workout stimulates fat loss while maintaining muscle mass. Additionally, strength training workouts promote fat burning all day long. According to an article from the Journal of Obesity, a low-calorie diet plus strength and weight training proved to be more effective in fat loss when compared to low-calorie diets paired with a walking work out.
Seems too good to be true, burning fat even after your workout. According to the Journal of Physiology, fat fuels the body and is the main energy source. This being said, it only makes sense that in order to build muscle you need to burn fat. Additionally, studies show that strength training boosts your resting metabolism and directs weight loss on fat rather than muscle.
Low Impact
The constant impact your joints and muscles suffer from when running on the treadmill poses great health threats, potentially outweighing the health benefits. Jacque Crockford, a certified trainer from the American Council of Exercise, states that low impact exercise can range from low to high intensity and is just as effective as high impact exercises. Additionally, low-impact exercises reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury, reduces stress and blood pressure, and improved muscular strength.
Heart Health
Experts claim there is no one best cardio workout and as the saying goes, anything is always better than nothing.
All cardio workouts provide the same heart health benefits: reducing blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and strengthening cardiovascular muscle and tissues, all reducing the risk for life-threatening diseases such as Type II diabetes, a stroke, Alzheimer's, and some forms of cancer. By engaging in 30min of cardio 2-3 times a week, you can dramatically improve your health and longevity of life.
As I am sure you have already guessed, the stair climber machine caters to these health benefits. Depending on duration, speed, and resistance you have the ability to control the power and intensity of your workout on the stair climber. A few ways to utilize the stair climber as a cardio machine is by adding weights and be designing a HIIT workout thats implements the stair climber.
Tips and Tricks on The Stair Climber
There are various ways to get a good workout on the stair climber. Alternating between techniques and changing up your routine can help target even smaller groups of muscles, avoid mental burnout, and increase your strength and endurance.
- Avoid holding onto the handrails. This will force you to activate your core and further intensify the burn.
- Focus on range of motion. Here is where the stair climber differs from the treadmill even more. It is more important to hit the full range of motion and hit each step in order to get the most out of the workout.
- Change up your position. Adding spice to each exercise is a good strategy for engaging more muscle groups and keeping the workout fun. Try facing toward the side and side-stepping to hit the inner thighs and outer glutes.
- Add a donkey kick to each step for further glute activation.
- Focus on posture!!
Moral of the Story … Do What You Enjoy
The stair climber provides excellent benefits to your overall health. Next time you go to the gym skip the treadmill and try the stair climber. A summary of the long list of health benefits stated above offers the stair climber as a simple effective fat-burning machine that could be your new go-to.
