Powerlifting meet this Saturday!

January 22, 2009 by Ryan Irwin · 1 Comment 

For the past 8 weeks Team Nutri-Sport has been getting ready for a powerlifting meet this weekend. This is a fun test of strength, which is one aspect of fitness. You will see competitors both lifting in the raw/unequipped divisions (no supportive suits) and in the equipped divisions.

Personally, my goal is to bench press 315 and deadlift 550 at a bodyweight of 165. While I haven’t given up my bodybuilding training, this is a compliment to those goals. I have been increasing my KreAlkalyn dosage and Branch Chain Amino Acids, along with keeping the carbs and protein high. Pumping the water too, as even a slightly dehydrated muscle cell loses strength. I have also been regularly going to my chiropractor, Dr Tyler Molstre, for regular adjustments.  Feeling good and it’s almost go-time!

Here are details if you would like to watch or compete:

Where: Fitness World 24 (8104 Douglas -just East of 86th & Douglas)
When: Saturday, Jan 24th, weigh ins at 8 AM, meeting at 9 AM, lifting starts at 10 AM
What: Bench & Deadlift, both raw and equipped categories

Entries will be accepted day of meet ($30), otherwise can be picked up at Fitness World 24 or at Nutri-Sport.

Nutri-Sport & Full Potential Training tip

January 18, 2009 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment 

We get this question all the time: “when should I do cardio”? The video below answers this question. Another way to get the most out of your cardio is to take a fat loss transport supplement (such as L-Carnitine) prior to your cardio to help shuttle fatty acids into the mitochondria of the muscle cells to optimize fat loss. These factors, plus a good diet and resistance training, will help you reach your full potential!

Bodysculpting starts up again next week!

January 14, 2009 by Ryan Irwin · 1 Comment 

Next Monday our Bodysculpting program starts another 9-week course.  This program is unlike any out there as it’s a unique combination of weight training, cardio consisting of plyometrics and boot camp style workouts, nutrition (which is essential).  Most importantly, it’s designed to help you learn lifestyle habits to not only make progress, but to keep it going afterwards!

Here’s how it works:  6 days a week, we do a combination of weight training and cardio.  You don’t need to be athletic, plus it’s non-impact so it builds your body verses “bang it up”.  The design is to help stimulate and build muscle tissue, and lose the bodyfat.  While you don’t need to worry about “bulking up” keeping the muscle in place (much like a bodybuilder) is what keeps your metabolism going (which is a big downfall of “yo-yo” diets).  So we jack up your metabolism, not too mention improve the way you feel and look!  People usually continue to trim down even when they go on vacations as their metabolism is running full blast (pretty cool, huh?) Classes are small (no more than 8 per group) so that it’s not over crowded and can be supervised by our trainer (who has a B.S. and numerous certifications) to make sure everyone is doing things right and pushing it to the best of their ability.  It’s like getting personal training at a group price!  We have early morning and evening time slots, let us know ASAP as it’s almost full!  Would love to help you “reach your full potential!”
