FIBO Wrap Up 2016

By Brigidene O'Shaughnessy IFBB Figure/Physique Athlete

It was an absolute privilege to attend FIBO as an employee and athlete of NoDaysOff Supplements. The trip was a major success with opportunities to grow through new partnerships and exposure to the very best sports supplements and equipment currently on the market.

So what is FIBO?
*The largest health fitness and lifestyle exhibition and convention in Europe *An industry trade show boasting over 130 000 sqmetres of exhibition space *Over 100 countries involved and approximately 725 exhibitors
* Has literally everything you can conceivably think of that relates to the fitness industry *Is an opportunity to view bodybuilding, crossfit, strongman/woman competitions *The place to get amazing deals on big brand clothing, footwear and equipment *The centre of innovation, great new concepts and scientific breakthroughs in health



The expo was over 4days which was needed to get through the all the exhibition halls and the many thousands in attendance each day.

During the event we met with Patrick Carbo from our parent company Recov Bipeptides, Rob Daeman from Stacker2Europe, Dennis Kohlruss-Giants Live competitor and WSM, Alexej Prochorow-105kg+ competitor for the German Olympic Weightligting team. There was also a chance meeting with Tony Doherty-Arnold Classic  Australian Promoter which was awesome!

After FIBO it was on to Sittard, just over the German border in the Netherlands to tour the Stacker2Europe factory and meet with Rob and the crew. After trying some of the amazing new products which are coming onto the market later this year we were treated to a night in the nearby picturesque village of Mastricht. The following day involved many connecting trains back to Frankfurt and then straight home to Perth.

Highlights: Seeing the beautiful city of Cologne, trying authentic German food, smelling the pastries every day, training in different gyms and getting training tips from MD Arron Crawford.

Lowlights: Losing my phone on Day 1 of the expo-thankfully it was handed back on the last day, getting locked in a disabled toilet (don't even ask) and smashing my IPad!!

It was the working trip of a lifetime and I would sincerely like to thank Arron Crawford and the team at NDO Supps for the opportunity to both work for the organisation and represent it as an athlete. Cannot wait to see what the future holds for NDOSupps.

My name is Dennis Kohlruss, I am 28 years old 194cm tall and my body-weight is around 165 kilos. I am born and raised in Germany, the name of my hometown is Rastatt. I am a professional strongman. in this little blog, I will tell you a little bit about my carrier, my you tube channel and my gym. First it’s a pleasure for me to being a part of the NDO Team, for me its very imported to be around real athletes who do competitions and try to bring the best out of themselves in every situation in their life. Sorry my friends for my bad English, I only have my 4 years’ school English :-) Let’s talk about my carrier, I started strongman in 2012, I had my first national competition in Germany and got 6th place so I licked blood and became better and better BUT always with a plan in my head, grow slow but steady, listen to your body and don’t push it too far to fast! I did no power-lifting  or other strength sports b efore , only a little bit (disco pumping) that’s a synonym ...

Kate Parker - How Do I Manage To Do It All?

Mother, University research assistant and tutor, PhD student and Crossfit athlete. I often get asked how I manage to "do it all" so I thought I would provide a little insight into how and why I do what I do, and really it all boils down to four key things. 1. Goals From as young as I can remember, I have always been one to dream big and my one dream right from when I was a little girl was to one day be a "world champion". I wasn't quite sure what that would be in at the time, but I dreamt I would one day be the world's best in whatever sport I was in. Since then, I have set myself goals in all of my athletic endeavours which at first, are usually seemingly beyond my reach. But it's that very unattainableness that excites me and motivates me to always do my best and drives me to achieve more than before. I have a list a thousand pages long, but my main goal for 2015 was to qualify for the Reebok Crossfit Games Regional competition (afte...

Christine Envall Testimonial on Recov

"For me, the goal for training is always to improve on the previous workout... All with the aim of improving my physique. I still believe there is more I can improve, develop, grow, reshape... I have not reached my peak yet so I'm working to go forward not just keep what I have.    So when I say I want to improve on my previous workout I don't just mean increasing weights; while this would be a dream it's not a reality after 25 years! Instead improvement comes in many forms; an extra rep or two on a set, stricter form on the last few reps, a more controlled movement, better mind muscle connection, less rest needed between sets, an entire extra exercise or simply getting to the end of the workout and still having a pump.  Again while this is the goal, making this happen needs help... A lot is mental but a lot does come down to nutrition, meal timing & supplements. I've been around a long time and tried a lot of supplements and one product ...
