Training Diary
What started as regular updates in a text message training group with friends, has morphed into these short video mashups. Not from an egotistical point of view of ‘looking how great I am‘ or ‘look what I can do and you can’t do‘. Because we all have different training goals and varying commitment’s to training,…
Read MoreNutritional Supplements
Nutritional supplements have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My earliest childhood memories include that smell of an open bottle of antioxidants walking into my Nona’s bedroom at home. Turns out she was also ordering Vitamin K from Sweden in the late 1970’s. My brother and I would take…
Read MoreRecovery
This month I’d planned a brief overview on recovery. However a few days ago a friend signed me up to ‘Open AI’, (open artificial intelligence) so I thought I’d test it out. I asked for a 500 word blog post on the physical training principle of recovery. Here’s what it generated. My additions are within…
Read MoreUnderrated Overrated
Alcohol? Overrated. Breathing Consciously? Underrated. Learn more. Daily Exercise? Incredibly underrated. I’m certain the less physically active one is the more medicine one will need. Fortunately the reverse is also true. Doing Front Squats Because I Don’t Have the Flexibility in my Shoulders To Back Squat? The Same For Front vs Behind The Neck Press?…
Read MoreDaily Disciplines
Much is made of morning routines and the ‘best’ way to start the day. It’s often said ‘win the morning, win the day’. All I’ll say is I’ve had times waking up with no plan and times waking up with a morning plan. I find it easier not having to negotiate with myself. At this…
Read MoreCorrelation
Maybe the 9th wonder of the world is the lack of connection many people have between the nutrition we ingest and it’s impact on our health and behaviour through out life. Try this social experiment. It’s definitely not an exact science, but do it enough over a long time frame, you’ll see a correlation.
Read MoreC For Yourself
Imagine a nutrient abundantly available, cheap, safe and effective. So broad it can work for you as an: Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Antidepressant Antihistamine Antiviral Antitoxin Antibiotic The pharmacological effects of this nutrient at high concentration (and this is key) are astonishing. You’d imagine this nutrient would be heavily promoted by the medical industry and pharmaceutical industries…
Read MoreAgeing, Gravity and Physical Preparation
Two realities we all face in training are ageing and gravity. One is obvious, the other less so. The training we do (or don’t do) and the nutrition we get (or don’t get) increase or decrease the rate and physical effects ageing has on us and by default athletic abilities. Gravity ‘pulls’ on us all.…
Read MoreWater and Hydration
Some people are into coffee. Others have wine cellars in their homes. Home brewing is definitely on the rise and then there’s those (sadly) addicted to soft drinks and energy drinks. Me? I’m into water. Got in to it heavily 15 years ago and have noticed the benefits ever since. Cost: Low Return: High My…

Imagine having to do absolutely nothing and in return you’ll improve your health, feel better and in all probability live longer.
