Editorial Standards
Nordic Lifting publishes training guides, gear guides and statistics pages for people who lift. This page explains how we research, source, review, update and correct what we publish.
Who is behind our content
Nordic Lifting was founded in 2013 by Henrik Andersson, who has trained for more than 20 years and designs every Nordic Lifting product himself. Our content is published by the Nordic Lifting team, and each article shows its author and publish date.
How we research and source
- We start from primary sources wherever possible: peer-reviewed research, government health and statistics agencies, universities and recognized professional bodies in strength and conditioning and sports medicine.
- Every statistic we publish names its source and links directly to it, so readers can check the original.
- When we use a secondary source, it is because the original is not publicly available, and we link to the most reliable version we can find.
- When sources disagree or the evidence is limited, we say so rather than picking the most convenient number.
- We do not publish numbers we cannot source.
Statistics pages
Our statistics pages bring together data from trusted third-party sources, with every figure linked to where it came from and the year it describes. Journalists, writers and researchers are welcome to use any statistic on our pages as long as they credit Nordic Lifting with a link back to the page. Questions about our data can go to henrik@nordiclifting.com.
How we review and update content
- We review our published content on a monthly schedule, starting with our most-read guides and any page that contains statistics.
- Each review checks that links still work, that sources are still current and that newer data has not replaced the figures we cite.
- When we make a meaningful change to an article, we show the date it was last updated. We do not change dates for small cosmetic edits.
Product testing and design
Every Nordic Lifting product is designed by our founder, Henrik Andersson, never taken off the shelf. Henrik chooses suppliers only after careful sampling and rigorous vetting. He has trained for more than 20 years and still trains about six days a week.
We sell the products we write about. When an article mentions a Nordic Lifting product, it is our own product, and we link to it openly.
Corrections
If you spot an error, an outdated figure or a broken source, email henrik@nordiclifting.com with the page link and what needs fixing. We review every request, correct factual errors and update the page's last updated date when a correction changes the content.
Not medical advice
Our content is general information about training and equipment. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for advice from a doctor, physical therapist or other qualified professional. Talk to a qualified professional before starting a new training program, especially if you have an injury or a health condition.
