An Interview with Personal Trainer and Fitness Model Adam BatesFor me there is one moment that sticks out in my mind where I decided I needed to make some changes and start living a healthier lifestyle. It was on a summer holiday with some friends, about 6 years ago. We had just finished university and at the time I really had lived the uni life so to speak, drinking almost every-night, smoking and consuming a diet that consisted largely of McDonalds and pizzas! I swam a length of the hotel pool and felt like I was going to cough my lungs up... read more |

OneOn Hades ReviewWhen looking for a pre workout supplement, many people have a checklist which involves finding a supplement that gives you a ‘tingling’ feeling (the magical ‘pump’), a supplement that enhances your focus and energy levels and one which is safe to use containing no illegal ingredients.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein ReviewI had been thinking about buying Optimum Nutrition’s Gold Standard Whey for a while, especially after the numerous awards the product has won and the many nominations such as Bodybuilding.com Supplement of the Year for 2011 (held for 6 years running!) and Protein Supplement of the Year for 2011.

Myprotein Liquid Egg Whites ReviewI had been thinking about buying Myprotein Liquid Egg Whites for a while but with a high protein diet already in place consisting of meat, fish and eggs, topped up by regular protein shakes, I had always found a reason not to buy them. I also had doubts about how to store the liquid egg whites, how quickly they should be consumed and how they should be taken. Nonetheless, having read many excellent reviews, I decided to try the 6 pack barn farmed egg whites... read more |

CNP Pro Flapjack Oats Bar ReviewI bought a pack of 48 CNP Pro Flapjacks for exactly these reasons; I felt that by 3-4pm I was hungry again after lunch and I wanted something healthy to keep me going for a few more hours. CNP Pro Flapjacks are a high protein oat bar with over 18g of quality protein per bar and over 31g of low GI carbs (i.e. porridge also contains low GI carbs) for sustained release of energy. Therefore you are getting protein needed for muscle growth and repair + carbs which will prevent hunger pangs for a good 3-4 hours... read more |
