Worlds Best Supplement Guide


Now and then something in the fitness industry comes along that really has an impact on many levels and the Examine.com website is one of them.

The team have spent the last few years researching tens of thousands of scientific articles on supplements and compiled it into a completely objective review of over 300 supplement products. The research is all human study based and graded on the robustness of the clinical trial that highlighted the main effects of each product tested.

This laborious task has resulted in the go-to website for all information on supplements and has received praise from around the world. The website is completely independent as has no affiliation, or supplement products to recommend or sell. By remaining impartial they ensure they are professional on all levels.

As a bonus for anyone in the fitness industry and particularly nutrition, body transformation, stage prep and athletic performance the entire site is available as an interactive PDF - currently over 800 pages and with the bonus feature of allowing you to focus on the supplements recommended for over 180 health goals. It is basically a complete offline version of the database with the added benefit of being completely linked internally and with an easy search feature for goals.

Many people spends £100s of pounds on website and forum membership for information like this. Even worse, some have to trawl through endless journals and clinical text with no real idea of the robustness of the study design and therefore scientific validity of the outcome. These guys have done it all for you.

Perhaps the best feature is that for a one-off investment of your average core text you get FREE lifetime updates daily. As soon as any new research is added the PDF is automatically regenerated each morning with the most up to date version.

Supplement info for life at your fingertips.

Durham Nutrition Workshop and some time off

The first round of the UK and Ireland nutrition tour has nearly come to a close with all of the major venues and requests completed.

It has been a very interesting journey of meeting great people, lovely cities, lots of travel miles and doing things rather than thinking about them.

The Durham event was a request and at the lovely Durham County Cricket Club. As you can see from the image, quite a location -



It was also great to have Neil from Genetic Supplements attend and provide samples and shakers for the delegates!



The day before the event we decided to head out to Blackpool as it was my birthday and I needed a hit of roller-coasters and near death experiences.

It is always reassuring to know that the zombie outbreak team has your back - especially in Blackpool


Between rides Alex decided to go for the plank pose and engage abs.


At 38 I decided on a lay down and a cup of ovaltine.....


The event went very well and it was good to meet up with Phil Earley - the only guy you need to go to for kettlebell instruction in Newcastle - his website can be found here - http://www.newcastlekettlebellliftingclub.com/


Neil was kind enough to let us take what remained of the samples so that we could try them for ourselves and provide feedback.

I have a championship event coming up in a few months and will certainly give them a good trial based on already seeing results from the sustain and recovery in just a few sessions based on my work capacity, and recovery. I also feel extremely focussed during longer sessions and actually switch off mentally - just getting on with the job.

The direct links to each product can be accessed by clicking on the images. These supplements are scientifically researched, highly engineered and top of the supplement food chain. We certainly recommend them based on a trial run.
