How I Help Personal Trainers Become Great Coaches
I love using supplements however, I am not taking many supplements any more as my nutrition covers all my bases. I use a post workout drink which is a hydrolyzed collagen protein peptide formula with creatine monohydrate by ATP science.

How I Went from Living in a Tent to the World Stage of Bodybuilding
I occasionally take creatine, glutamine and/or multi vitamins but this will be for a limited period and not often. There are some things I will be trialling to see the impact on my physique and health shortly but you’ll have to follow me to see what they are and how they work!

This is How I Keep Myself Disciplined and Consistent
My diet is enjoyable and varied. Quality Meats, fruit, vegetables. Sometimes I supplement with creatine. I don’t like the phrases “cheat days / cheat meals”, it implies you are doing something you should feel guilty about. I’ll eat some ice cream, chocolate or have a fry etc when i want.

How I Eat, Train and Stay in Shape to Achieve My Pro Card
Before any session, a good preworkout party ritual is always the best start to a workout. Preworkout, creatine and tunes. The best. My favourite pre at the moment is C4 HD by Cellucor. It just feels like such a crisp burst of energy and focus. Creatine, whatever is going cheap at point of purchase, it’s pretty hard to fuck up creatine.

How I Eat, Train and Recover to Get Good and Long-Lasting Results in Fitness
In terms of pre-workout. I am very peculiar, what works best for me is a cup of good espresso and that’s it and creatine every three months more or less.

How Fitness Taught Me Discipline, Confidence, Strength and Happiness
Things that you can find in my bag include: liquid chalk, creatine, snacks (I love food), prepped meals. I try not to use anything which I may become overly dependent on such as caffeine, music or gloves, regularly. I don’t ever want to find myself saying ‘I can’t train because I don’t have XYZ’.

This is How I Make My Fitness Programs to Achieve Better Results
I only use creatine as a supplement and don’t really recommend supplements to my team members. The 1-2% difference is not where their focus should be. Mastering the basics is what brings results, not fat burners, BCAA’s or glutamine.

How Fitness and Discipline Make Me Stronger and Better at Handstands
I have never taken many supplements, but I experimented a bit with creatine and beta alanine last year. I didn’t feel much of a difference, but at around that time, my weight increased to 165 lbs (at 5’5”). That could be due to many factors, such as squatting daily, plus doing multiple sets of 20 twice a week, forcing myself to eat even more, and drinking more milk in order to bulk up a bit.

How I Got Back to Full Fitness After My Ligament Tear
My personal experience with supplements did not help me improve much. However, try protein and creatine, you do not need anything else apart from good food, do not waste your money on all supplements out there, you could spend it on a nice meal out or a holiday instead.

This is How Competitive CrossFit Lead Me to a Career in Coaching
As far as what I recommend to athletes now from a coaching perspective: Creatine, Vitamin D, Fish Oil, Beta Alanine, and Magnesium. Outside of that a lot of supplements are pretty worthless, and you can get most of your protein and carbs from diet alone.

How I Work as a Strength Coach and Educate Powerlifters and Weightlifters
Usually I consume a Legion pre workout beverage and Performix pre workout. Both are simple in ingredient profiles such as citrulline, caffeine, beta-alanine, and creatine. I’ve learned those high stimulant based pre workouts just crash the body and had more negative impacts to my lifting than beneficial.

For my diet, I follow the zone diet (40-30-30). Being a subject that I tend to quickly accumulate fat when I eat a lot of carbohydrates, I found refuge in this very valid diet.
