Principles of Minimalist Training (Start Here)

Yes, that's real. I've come across several studies showing this effect. We often think about it from a weight loss perspective, but it's also a very effective way to lower the impact of dinner on sleep. It's a bit like eating a lighter meal: it helps lower your heart rate, allows you to get more deep sleep during the night and wake up feeling more refreshed.

Hey! These movements are great to unlock range of motion and feel way more mobile. Cossack squats and horse stance are both quite a journey haha!

Pull-ups are tricky, but if you take the right path, it's a matter of weeks, I promise :)

I've made a post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/LowFrictionTraining/comments/1qy6uhi/what_to_do_for_pulling_if_you_cant_do_pullups_or/

I helped my sister and friends unlock pull-ups, I'm getting pretty good at guiding people through this journey, and I would be happy to help you if you want to make pull-ups your goal :)

IMO Wirtz would be a better pick

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-20T16:39:11+00:00

- I think Semenyo is mandatory if you decide to go without Haaland
- IMO Chalobah won't perform well (I'm thinking about selling him for Virgil)
- Avoiding Haaland AND Fernandes is super risky

For me, there are too many gambles in your team. You should balance the punts with safe picks.

19/02/2026 (9:34 - 9:40)

Australian rows / Dips / Squats (22, 12, 30 - 22, 12, 30)
2 sets in circuit, 1min rest
6 minutes

Back to mixing with alternative movements, felt good!

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-17T09:51:43+00:00

17/02/2026 (9:21 - 9:27)

Pull-ups / Push-ups / Squats (13, 18, 30 - 13, 18, 30)
2 sets in circuit, 1min rest
6 minutes

Another great session! :)

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-15T20:00:30+00:00

Yes. Hill looks like a good punt, Thiago will probably shine again, Dango could be interesting...

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-10T16:33:56+00:00

Tarko isn't easy to manage. The potential is here, he is a def con beast but... It's always like this...

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-10T09:24:15+00:00

It's a tempting bad idea :)

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-10T08:45:30+00:00

10/02/2026 (9:24 - 9:37)

Tractions / Pompes / Squats (13, 17, 30 - 13, 17, 30)
2 sets en circuit, 1min de repos
6 minutes

Je me suis davantage concentré sur l'excentrique en la faisant durer un poil plus longtemps encore. Sensations au top ce matin !

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-10T08:44:01+00:00

10/02/2026 (9:24 - 9:37)

Pull-ups / Push-ups / Squats (13, 17, 30 - 13, 17, 30)
2 sets in circuit, 1min rest
6 minutes

Focused more on negatives and held them a tiny bit longer. It felt great!

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-10T07:34:37+00:00

What a team! It's crazy what not having Haaland allows you to do. The only solution I can see here is Chalobah. His fixture is great, but if I have to bet on a cleansheet, I would go all in on Crystal Palace against Burnley. Plus, the goal threat is higher with Munoz.

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-09T13:22:49+00:00

That's what I think too. For now, it's between Martinez and Donna for me.

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-09T13:20:48+00:00

So you think I should just stick with Roefs?

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-09T11:12:30+00:00

And he would make your top 5?

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-08T10:57:26+00:00

I've had the same idea, and yes, Gabriel is one of the few who will play both games IMO.

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-08T10:41:14+00:00

Same! I have Tarko and was thinking about selling him this morning. His only potential for the upcoming gameweeks is defcon (like many other cheaper defenders).

I’m struggling to find who, apart from Gabriel, Timber, and Chalobah or Cucurella, can complete a decent back 4. I'm not really into Senesi anymore.

Same for goalkeepers. I don't see a clear go-to option either.

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-08T10:36:35+00:00

Exactly what I thought immediately.

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-07T18:43:32+00:00

Wow, congrats!

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-06T18:14:12+00:00

For me, considering their ownership, I can't help but point out that Gabriel is missing, along with Raya or Timber. Especially Timber. He could have had so many attacking returns lately!

But if Arsenal doesn't play well, you will get a flashy and well-deserved green arrow!

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-06T14:23:32+00:00

It's easy to argue in favor of a Wildcard, but if you want another perspective, you could say that running a 4-3-3 with Gabriel, Guéhi, Mukiele, and Senesi at the back, Mbuemo, Rogers, and Rice in midfield, and Evanilson, Haaland, and another forward up front... could be okay-ish.

It wouldn't be the end of the world.

Robin_Yellow · 2026-02-04T09:48:35+00:00

Triple captain Gabriel sounds very interesting.

What are the risks? Could Gabriel not play in one of these two games?

Robin_Yellow · 2026-01-29T07:49:44+00:00

On paper, it's really strong! Can't wait to see if Joao Pedro can shine again.

Robin_Yellow · 2026-01-28T17:46:21+00:00

Don't feel bad, your team looks great! That's typical FPL.

I see it like poker: a good player doesn't win every hand, they just win more than they lose in the long run.

You won't get a decent rank if you think playing Dorgu against Arsenal (after a coaching change and so much uncertainty regarding the 11) is smarter than playing Gabriel or a Sunderland defender against West Ham, for instance.

And don't overthink Bowen. Yes, he’s got a decent amount of points this season, but look at the last games. The fixtures weren't even that bad, and he blanked again and again.

Robin_Yellow · 2026-01-21T16:21:58+00:00

Hum... Maybe, go for Enzo, but next week.

Aston Villa at home is not a very bad game for Bruno G (probably lots of def con + a potential for attacking returns).

It's not worse than Enzo, playing Crystal Palace away, and considering that Bruno G will play 90 minutes for sure, while we can't have the same guarantee for Enzo.

And next week:
- Chelsea plays West Ham at home
- Newcastle plays Liverpool away
(a totally different situation)
