Which Protein Brand Is The Best?

Assisting your training and recovery through supplementation has become widespread in recent years and has lead to the rapid uprising of what seems like millions of supplement companies, so the question on everyones lips is which brand is the best?

Now, we all know that is a minefield of a question and the real answer is IT DEPENDS! I'm aware that I've given a pretty wet answer there but it really does depend on #1 how much you are willing to pay, #2 what type of protein you are looking for, #3 whether you are looking for quantity or quality.

Only you can provide the answer to the three factors above but one thing I would urge you to ignore when deciding which brand of protein to buy is the advertising of the brands. The reason for saying this is because the vast majority of protein companies employee athletes and sexy celebs to 'endorse' their products, the sole purpose of this is to make you think that if you buy that brand of protein you'll end up looking like these athletes and celebs. Well, here's a shocker for you, THAT IS NOT THE CASE! 

These athletes have been brought in to endorse a product once they have become absolutely stacked or once they have won a competition or become famous in the case of the celebs. The reality is that they have probably never used that protein brand prior to being paid to use it. 

Quite often, many of the 'stacked' fitness models are taking a little more than your 'standard' supplements shall we say. Yes, I'm referring to roids! The fact of the matter is any supplement that claims to do anything which seems a little optimistic, it probably is!

My top tips when it comes to choosing a protein is #1 choose an established brand when possible, I personally favour USN or MyProtein, #2 know what your training goals are and buy your protein based on your goals, #3 Do your research before you buy anything, know the difference between whey and casein, isolates and all-in-ones.

But whatever brand of protein you buy please don't buy the clothing that the brand sell and then mince around the gym like you're a sponsored athlete as everyone knows your not and that you've just paid the company £30 in order to advertise for them!

The problem with social media.

As I alluded to in my previous post, I think the biggest challenge facing businesses today in the wake of COVID-19 is social media. But it’s not only challenging businesses, it’s challenging the mental health of every individual who uses it.  So, what’s the problem social media?  Put simply, social media creates a false narrative as to the way people lives their lives.  Take a quick scroll through any social media platform and you’ll see the great stuff that’s going on in people's lives and it’s fabulous that people sharing the great stuff that’s going on in their lives, but the problem is ultimately what people are not sharing.  Let’s start on LinkedIn. A quick scroll down your newsfeed and you’ll find at least one person who has recently been promoted, landed a great new job or is working from a very swanky looking office or location. What people don’t post is a day-to-day grind, nobody posts about the days where they get a piece of work dropped on them last minute and they don’t

How the workplace has changed since Covid.

Covid had a lot of unintended consequences one of them was that it’s seismically shifted the way people work and where they work. Long gone are the days of people working for a business which is within commutable distance on daily basis. Now, people have got the option to work for anyone, anywhere.  This has completely changed the goalposts for businesses as they can now bring people in that were previously out of area, massively widening the talent pool at who is available to work for that company.  However, it’s not all good news as people are now a lot harder to pin down in the workplace as many people work remotely it’s hard to  hold people accountable to tasks that need to be completed and naturally as a consequence of this things happen at a slower pace, decisions take longer to go up and down the decision-making ladder and ultimately change takes longer to implement.  People also want more out of the workplace. People want a sense of belonging from work which they would have pre

The One Thing You NEED To Eliminate From Your Life

It's January. That means one thing, everywhere you look you'll be seeing articles that tell you that you need to cut this or that out. Most, if not all of the advice is unfounded as generally speaking anything in moderation is sustainable. However, now and again you'll come across a life hack which can't be ignored. In the following post I'm going to share with you a life hack that I discovered around 2 years ago, have implemented ruthlessly and can now see the benefits in every aspect of my life. The life hack is more advice than an actual hack and its as simple as ELIMINATE ALL NEGATIVE PEOPLE FROM YOUR LIFE. We all know someone who's negative or pessimistic about quite literally everything, you may not think they are having any bearing on you, your life, or your decision making but they are! As motivational speaker Jim Rohn famously said "we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with" so the chances are if you spend a lot of
