Day 1 of Recovery Training :)

By -
I woke up this morning in a good mood because #coach_kyle said I'm allowed to train today.

 I started work at 5.30am, trained a few clients, went back home... had a recovery nap, trained a few more clients...12 noon was training time!

 Kyle hooked me up with a killer isolation training program, it looked brutal on paper & it lived up to its expectation & was brutal in reality. 
The whole session took 1.5 hours & my only rest was 30 seconds between sets. So it was high intensity isolation weight lifting... love it!
I did approximately 217897325 reps adjusting the weight constantly (lots of drop sets) on the leg extension & leg curl.
Kick backs, dumbbell shoulder press, face pulls, lat pull downs, 45 degree lat pulldowns, incline dumbbell fly's were also part of the program.

 My body is pumped! My muscles are filled out again (I didn't lose my gains!), I feel lactic like I just did a massive endurance CrossFit workout, my quads & shoulders are back, I'm sweaty, I'm hungry & I'm feeling amazing.
I constantly checked up on my little wounds to make sure they were all nice & clean, I had no belly pain & no nausea. 
I popped 3 Recov Bipeptide tablets before & after the session.

 I then met up with two of my CrossFit team mates Jayne & Ryan at our local favourite place for post workout food (Soulpress). We talked strategies for this competition & recovery. I still feel 100% part of my team <3 

 Now I'm off for another recovery nana nap before I head back into the gym to punish my night time clients :P 

 Today has been a good day! 

 * Below is my other little home for the next 2-4 weeks... for all of the gains!

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?

By -

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 ...
