Nutri-Sport Nutrition Tip: BCAA’s spell recovery

Ryan Irwin — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:14:13 +0000

There are several benefits to using BCAA’s. One of more beneficial side effects, in our opinion, is how you can strategically use them to help with decreased muscle soreness. Now, this doesn’t mean that they’re not good for other things as well. Studies have also shown that BCAA’s are involved with hypertrophy (growth) of the muscles and can provide significant protection against future muscle injuries. New research has come out revealing that if meals spaced out 4-6 hours apart can keep your body in an anabolic state by sipping on/taking BCAA’s in between meals (but still take advantage of fat loss). BCAA supplementation has grown in popularity in recent years by the use of both bodybuilders and athletes alike for the benefit provided by these supplements.

We here at Nutri-Sport Full Potential Training have been advising to customers the benefits of BCAA’s for sometime now (I.E. Xtend, Anabolic Bridge or Healthy selections BCAA pills/powders). Below is a link to an article which might find interesting on BCAA’s.

Nutri-Sport Training tip: Pause squats

Ryan Irwin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:01:44 +0000

Hitting proper depth on squats is important and equally so is being comfortable in the “hole”. Additionally, you want to be consistent in your form and range of motion.

Pause squats are a great exercise that will help you achieve this. As Ryan Irwin demonstrates in the video below, by holding the bottom portion of the squat three seconds, it trains you to know and feel comfortable in the bottom portion of the exercise.

This is a great accessory exercise after doing some normal squats or on a lighter leg day. Give this a try on your next squat session.

Supplement review: Raspberry ketones for fat loss

Ryan Irwin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:57:11 +0000

The latest buzz in the fat loss world is raspberry ketones, many due to Dr. Oz’s mention of it on his show (world take note, if you have a product, get his endorsement and you’re set!)

Raspberry ketones are not new. In 2005 there was a study done showing that they reduce the amount of fat that is absorbed by the body and also demonstrated an increase in lipolysis (fat burning).

While these are both great effects, raspberry ketones can be even more effective by combining them with other proven fat loss aids such as green tea, caffeine for example.

Of course, no dietary supplement is effective without a proper exercise and nutrition program in place. If you need assistance getting this going, we can help with either personal training and/or meal planning and nutrition coaching.

To emphasize, there are no quick fixes, but with proper workouts, the right nutrition and smart supplementation (which might include raspberry ketones for you), you can look and feel your absolute best!

Visit either Nutri-Sport location to pick up raspberry ketones and other fat loss or muscle gain supplements, where you want to go for results and not a sales pitch!

Nutri-Sport Training Tip: Analyzing exercise technique

Ryan Irwin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:50:43 +0000

Proper form and technique is critical for exercise execution, especially when heavy compound lifts such as the squat, deadlift and bench press are considered.

In this video, Ryan Irwin demonstrates the impact this can make. By recording footage of lifts or having an experienced trainer watch the attempt, one can go back and correct the breakdown in form. In this case, losing back arch and forward lean causes a failed attempt. The other take home lesson is don’t let missing a lift or an extra repetition mentally beat you. Even if you don’t come back and get it that day, know that you WILL succeed and get it next time!

Nutri-Sport Nutrition Tip: A PHAT tip on fats

Ryan Irwin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:14:50 +0000

Most individuals are afraid of fats in their diet and are really missing out. Fats are not only needed but do many different beneficial things.

As Ryan Irwin explains in the video below, fats can help with reducing hunger, keeps blood sugar stable, improve brain function and inflammation. When we do nutrition coaching/meal planning, ensuring the right fats are included at the right times. This is especially important for precontest diets and athletic performance.

Add fats into your meals (except for post workout recovery shakes for fast absorption) and make sure you get the essential fatty acids (like omega 3) in your day.

Nutri-Sport Training Tip: Pin press for a bigger bench press

Ryan Irwin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:48:41 +0000

When performing the bench press, the most common spot that people get stuck at is right off their chest. This is also known as the sticking point.

In the video below, Mike Beiter demonstrates the pin press, a great exercise that helps people get through this spot by forcing one to come to a complete stop right off the chest, then generate power right out of the hole.

Key points on this is to maintain your normal form by keeping your arch and position throughout the exercise. Make sure the bar comes to a complete stop and rests on the pins/rack prior to pressing (no bouncing). Try this after your normal full range bench press as an accessory exercise on your next training session.

Nutri-Sport Nutrition Tip: Carbs are your friend

Ryan Irwin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:46:32 +0000

Carbohydrates have a bad reputation according to most people these days. While they won’t make your dog bite you, often people totally miss the boat and don’t have carbs when they are absolutely crucial.

As Ryan Irwin explains in the video below, carbohydrates after workouts are critical for glycogen replenishment (which refuels you for your next training session). This not only helps with performance, but also enhances recovery. In addition to carbs, a high-quality protein should be used post workout as well, which is better utilized when combined with a carb.

If one is concerned about fat loss, then cutting down carbs at other times of the day is appropriate, but as is shown when we work with our many clients in meal planning/nutrition coaching, this varies greatly per the individual.

Make sure after your next workout, get a fast absorbing high quality carbohydrate (we recommend 1st Phorm Ignition or Primaforce Carb Slam) and a good protein source (like whey).

For these and other great carbohydrate and other supplement options, come visit either Nutri-Sport location to help get you by in a pinch next time!

Nutri-Sport Training Tip: Proper shoulder warm-up

Ryan Irwin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:53:33 +0000

One of the most fragile joint structures and common injuries/issues we hear about is the shoulders. Not only is this joint fragile, it is often an overused one and needs to be taken care of so that long term limitations don’t occur.

Proper warm up is one of the best ways to not only prevent injury, but it also optimizes performance and promotes healing. In this video, Nutri-Sport Trainer Mike Beiter demonstrates a proper warm up sequence for the shoulders.

Complete this warm up sequence before any upper body exercise and if you are rehabbing a shoulder injury, this can be done daily.

Nutri-Sport Nutrition Tip: Talking about the bar

Ryan Irwin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:02:10 +0000

Protein bars are a common thing these days. With they busyness of society and everyone’s schedule, often times people go to these meal replacements as a quick option for a nutritious meal.

As Ryan details in the video below however, not all “protein” bars are what they’re made out to be and all that good of an option.

For these and other great meal replacement options, come visit either Nutri-Sport location to help get you by in a pinch next time!
