Foods On The Go

Nov 24, 2007 @ 10:29 am by wayne

If you are running late and need a quick easy snack/meal on the go, here are some of my favourites:

  • mixed nuts
  • dried fruit
  • protein powder (and shaker)

All of these you can keep in the car and all you need to add is water.

Weight Belts

Nov 22, 2007 @ 05:34 pm by wayne

One of the things that make me laugh is guys who come into the gym and put on a weight belt for every set of every exercise. Unless you are preparing for a powerlifting comp or are hoisting some serious iron overhead or on your back (think upper limit squats), using a belt is not recommended. In fact using a belt is considered counter productive if you want to improve the health of your lower back.

Green Tea and Water

Nov 21, 2007 @ 01:43 pm by wayne

If you want a healthy drink to have throughout the day, green tea and water are your best options. They will keep you hydrated, have no calories and in the case of green tea have a heap of antioxidants.

Try to stay away from softdrinks or soda (even if they are calorie free) and fruit juices (feel free to have the actual fruit at your next meal instead.)

Dynamic Stretching

Nov 20, 2007 @ 05:34 pm by wayne

Dynamic or active stretching is becoming the way to warmup before your workout. Instead of static stretching which has detrimental effects on performance, dynamic stretching performed well really gets you ready to perform. Things to think about include maintaining good posture and ensuring that your movement is smooth and controlled throughout the exercise.

5 X 5’s

Nov 19, 2007 @ 05:41 pm by wayne

It is important to train with a variety of set and repetition patterns. Unfortunately many people stay with the bodybuilder style 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions for years at a time. For a change try the 5 sets of 5 repetitions approach. It is a good approach to getting bigger and stronger that has been used for years, especially in the sports performance arena. Try it out in your basic lifts e.g. benches, squats and deadlifts.
