Chocolate Milk - an excellent post workout drink!

Submitted by kenwen on 8 June 2010 - 7:45pm

I don't usually comment on nutrition stuff as its not an area of expertise but this is just lovely, lovely news.

As you know, and I've told you enough times if you're a client, getting protein and carbs after a hard training session is vital. Turns out that chocolate milk can do the job very effectively. Nice :)

Here's the research

Bodysaw - advanced ab training #1

Submitted by kenwen on 31 May 2010 - 7:59pm

A fantastic exercise popularised by the team at TRX - this deceptively simple drill is going to get you strong abs in no time. If you don't own a TRX, use any suspension training system, Powerwheel or Slideboard. If you don’t have any of the equipment you can even use paper plates...just don’t use them for eating afterwards...

Double Kettlebell Jerks

Submitted by kenwen on 29 April 2010 - 5:56pm

Kettlebell Jerks are just a great explosive exercise to add into a training mix.

I find them phenomenal for developing upper body strength and power - they're also great for slapping on shoulder and back muscle. And, if you're into that sort of thing, a really nice pump :)

Jerks are also fantastic for full contact sports.

Finally they even have an advantage over barbells! You need to control and manage two independent weights rather than the simpler barbell.

Bars do have the advantage of being loadable though :)

Video clips of kettlebell jerks coming soon

Double Kettlebell Training - the joys, the joys!

Submitted by kenwen on 19 April 2010 - 9:07pm

I like heavy kettlebell training. Actually I love heavy kettlebell training.

Unlike most of my training I have to specifically plan and programme it into my schedule as its quite draining but totally fantastic for strength, power and packing on a bit of muscle.

The benefits of doubling up are immense

Z-Health Review - What Is Z-Health?

Submitted by kenwen on 3 November 2009 - 9:43am

I'm a Z-Health sceptic. I can't help it. Sorry. (UPDATE: I was a...)

I read about near magical transformations and effects it has with rehabbing injuries, improving performance and ignored it all for the last couple of years but the chatter and buzz has gotten too strong.

I succumbed, I broke down, I ordered the Z-Health Mega Package and...

this is the story of what I found.

Z-Health, the foundations of fitness?
We spend a lot of time training the muscular and cardiovascular systems but most of us neglect to train our nervous system.
