I don't usually comment on nutrition stuff as its not an area of expertise but this is just lovely, lovely news.

As you know, and I've told you enough times if you're a client, getting protein and carbs after a hard training session is vital. Turns out that chocolate milk can do the job very effectively. Nice :)

Here's the research

Kettlebell Jerks are just a great explosive exercise to add into a training mix.

I find them phenomenal for developing upper body strength and power - they're also great for slapping on shoulder and back muscle. And, if you're into that sort of thing, a really nice pump :)

Jerks are also fantastic for full contact sports.

Finally they even have an advantage over barbells! You need to control and manage two independent weights rather than the simpler barbell.

Bars do have the advantage of being loadable though :)

I'm a Z-Health sceptic. I can't help it. Sorry. (UPDATE: I was a...)

I read about near magical transformations and effects it has with rehabbing injuries, improving performance and ignored it all for the last couple of years but the chatter and buzz has gotten too strong.

I succumbed, I broke down, I ordered the Z-Health Mega Package and...

this is the story of what I found.

Z-Health, the foundations of fitness?
We spend a lot of time training the muscular and cardiovascular systems but most of us neglect to train our nervous system.

Even more suspension training, courtesy of Fitness Anywhere's TRX system. Designed by ex navy SEALS, which ticks a few boxes on the macho bloke side of things, the TRX claims that it will make your body your machine. Really? We'll find out in this post and the follow up where we pit the TRX against the LifeLine Jungle Gym in a supension training system smackdown!

What you get inside the bag

This post, which is only available to newsletter subscribers, houses the video training routines outlined in the Kettlebell Fat Loss Manual.

This covers the basic phase of each routine but not the individual techniques. For that there are other resources on this website or in book or DVD's.
