The Deadlift Grip

Athletes often ask if they should use a mixed grip on the deadlift, especially when going for a max attempt. So I thought I’d talk about different grips, the pro’s the con’s and my personal take on things

Nutrition FAQ - by Dr. Sinead Roberts

Given the sheer volume of (at face value) conflicting nutrition information out there, in this blog post I thought I would take the opportunity for a Q&A on some common questions I hear. There are many reasons for the barrage of apparently ‘opposing’ views we see across social media, magazines and on the internet. Some of it is misinformation and misinterpretation of research, but often it is because different groups of people doing different forms of exercise will respond differently to diet changes! This shows it is important to remember that all guidance is a general rule of thumb and you may need to tweak things so they work well for you, your body and your training.

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs): Are they worth the hype?

After whey protein, BCAAs are perhaps the most popular supplement for gym bunnies and bodybuilders – based on the claim that they enhance muscle recovery and hypertrophy, particularly when training in a fasted state. But is there the science to back up these gain claims, or are we throwing our hard earned cash down the drain when we pick these up off the shelf?
