Personal Trainer Northampton Blog

Supplementing your training is important.  It is only recently, say the last year or so, that I have really started to take some supplements alongside my training and I really wish I had sooner.  The results are noticeable compared to training without.  I have tried to build my knowledge this past year around improved training and diet.  I am still learning as there is obviously a lot to take in but I feel my knowledge is greater know than in any previous years I have trained.  The two main supplements I use at the moment are whey protein and casein protein.  Casein protein I take before I go to bed, on the night I have trained.  It supplies a slow-releasing protein source throughout the night, vital for the muscles you have trained that day.  Whey Powder  I take pre and post workout and also on my rest day.  The largest amount, around 40g, I take immediately after training so it is available for muscle repair.  Different plans may say different amounts to take, as of course may different brand manufacturers, so always be careful to read up thoroughly.

It is a busy time at present in regards to weightlifting/training.  We have the Britains Strongest Man, the weight lifting at the olympics and we are getting ever nearer to Mr Olympia 2008.  All of these events require the upmost discipline, strict and extraordinary levels of training and for some competitors, the ultimate rewards.  For others, it will be disappointment.  This can be a huge emotion.  It can make or break someone in relation to their goals.  It may be too much for some, others may turn it into unstoppable drive.  If you do experience disappointment, in your training, in results then don’t let it put you off.  Take some time, deal with it and then carry on, stronger than before. Keep focused on why you started your training in the first place.  Remember that goal and keep working toward it.  It will be worth it, believe me.

Happy training.

Good old British summer is here!! which means a horrible heat that probably doesn’t inspire you to train, especially if you do at home and don;t have the luxury of the gyms air conditioning.  But keep focused on your goals, remind yourself why you started training and what you want to achieve and use that to find that determination to begin training.  If you can,then the rest will follow.  Make sure you stay well and drink plenty in these humid conditions.

As I’m sure many of you are aware we are only 2 months away from Mr Olympia 2008.  This is an exciting time for us as viewers and fans but we can only imagine what it will be like for the competitors.  An event of this magnitude is a culmination of all their dedicated, determination and mindset that they will win the Mr Olympia crown.  It is this mindset that I admire so much.  To set yourself a goal and do everything in your power to work to achieve it.  They are unbelivable athletes and I hope this years competition is as exciting as last year and best of luck to all.

Dear all,

Please keep visiting as I am working currently on some exercise techniques and plans that I hope you can use as a reference or to include in your current regimes.

An exercise regime can be hard to stick to. Problems and interruptions to daily life always come along and training an easily be pushed to the back of the priority list. But dig in deep. Take a second to think why you started a regime in the first place? What goals were you trying to achieve? Use that reason to drive you on. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress, as I’m sure you’ll agree in the current economic difficulties we are all feeling at the minute, stress is pretty predominant. Stay focused and take care of your yourselves and your bodies.

If you are like me and love your weight training, an essential part of your training is the supplements you use along they way, to promote muscle growth and help muscle repair.  One of the best of these sources is protein, in particular whey protein. Whey protein is easily and quickly digestible and should be used by anyone involved in serious training. Shopping around for deals on these supplements is recommended, as with anything it can differ in price. Please visit my new site for cheap whey protein and also for further information on the product.

My latest site is www.wheyproteinking.com

Thank you for your continued traffic and support.

I would also like to issue an apology to anybody visiting my site wishing to enrole the services of a Personal Trainer and discovering I am still in the process of studying toward my qualifications. I am doing this as quickly but also as professionally as possible in my free time and I would like to say I hope you have a found a personal trainer in your search to help you reach your goals.  One day I hope you will re-visit my site, or a friend of yours, and I will be able and willing to provide the service myself.  I really cannot wait for that time.

I would like to apologise to anyone who has visited my site recently to find it not updated for some time.  Unfortunately, my health has been very bad and also my fiancee and I have had to sell our house and were also involved in a car crash a week ago.  So I have not really had the time or focus to work on this site as I should have.  One thing however though that I have been able to keep focus on is my training.  It has given me almost an escape from the events that have been occurring and an oppurtunity to focus on something that I have control of and to reach the physical goals I desire to reach.  This determination I find can carry over to your personal and professional life. So keep training hard and with focus and you can be surprised at the end results.

A quick note I thought I would add today. Some visiting the site may be wondering why there is a link called to a male depression site on my blog and also thinking it slightly contra-indicates my previous entries on positive thinking. However, people seeking a personal trainer may wish to change their physical appearance but may also have other reasons for doing this, perhaps they are unhappy or troubled and sites like the one from this link are there for people to turn to if they need it. It is run by a great  American guy called Steve Imparl and it specialises in male depression and related disorders but anyone is welcome to visit.  Unhappiness with yourself can be one of the worst ever things and it is welcome relief that people like Steve are around to help.
