Gym injury and recovery

While I was playing a rugby game a few years back I managed to hurt my shoulder and never got it fixed properly. With gym being one of my main exerciseS I have never gained a full recovery on my shoulder and have most properly made it worse. Just take it easy if you have a injury, get the injury sorted before you start to pump the weight again!

The Big Boys!

I would like to congratulate one of the gym members in my area. At the age of 14 years old he is bench pressing 110kgs and playing first team rugby for his school and on top of it all he also plays rugby for the U/16 A pumas squad. I take my hat off to him!

Supplements in school level

In school level the usage of supplements is increasing drastically, especially in rugby! In my opinion certain supplements should be allowed in school level and some not. Schools should employ people who know sports supplements to inform pupils about supplement usage and depending on the age of the person and their physical body should be told what legal supplements should be best for them. Testing should be brought into school level to make the playing field fair. For facts on rugby please visit www.knowrugby.blogspot.com

Solving problems with gym

Most people feel they need to go to gym to get built, ripped and some to even lose weight. These are all good reasons to go to gym. However some people have other reasons to go, some people see gym as a release from stress and helps them to take a timeout for themselves. If u feel angry or emotional, try get yourself to the gym and release some of it!

Rest:

Be sure to have a few days rest between gym sessions. Your body needs time to recover and grow before you gym again. If you take supplements with L-glutamine in them, they will help with the recovery process. If you recover quicker you can gym more and get bigger quicker!

Eating and gyming

When you are out gyming you need energy for long periods of time time. This is why you should be eating foods that will keep your blood/sugar level low and give you a constant energy boost, not sugar like products that will spike your energy just for a short period of time. The foods that keep your energy supply going for a long period of time are known as low GI products. Generally most of these products have low GI written on the packaging. These are generally products such as brown bread, seeded bread and so on. Happy gyming!

Home gym or sign up?

Most people think that it is cheaper for them to sign up at a gym because weights are too expensive. However gym fees are slowly rising and eating holes in your pocket. You might want to look at buying your own weights and equipment. It might be expensive at first but once you have them they are there forever!

Water is the way

When taking supplements your kidneys are under a lot of pressure to take in all the extra protein. This is why it is essential to drink lots of water so that your kidneys can keep functioning to their full potential.

Supplement usage

Most people generally think that it is necessary to use supplements when they are gyming. This is not true to an extent. You first need to gym without using any supplements so that you are naturally fit before you start taking supplements. This will help your body use those supplements effectively when you eventually take them.
