  • Joe Rogan and Kyle Kingsbury Podcast

    Really interesting podcast, one of my faves over the last few months. To summarise: Kyle wanted to improve mentally and physically as much as possible when he was fighting.  So whilst a lot of fighters would chill out and play video games after training, he would read books.  Books on sports nutrition and psychology for…

  • UFC Fight Night 82 – Hendricks V Thompson

    ***SPOILER*** I thought this fight could go either way, Johhny Hendricks is pretty consistent, and normally a safe bet against any welterweight ranked outside the top 3.  However, ‘The Wonderboy’ has kicks and athleticism, that are beyond anything that I can recall seeing in the UFC.  With this kind of skill-set, and those kicks in his…

  • Phosphatidylserine Review

  • Infographic of the Week

  • Starting a Personal Training Business

    Working in the fitness industry is a dream for many people – this fact alone, makes it highly competitive. There are numerous courses available both online and offline, that in theory at least, allow individuals with little experience to become qualified personal trainers.

  • Home Birth, so far…

    So the wife started having contractions this week, then they got really intense last night, painful, and occurring every 5 minutes. Called the labour ward and 2 midwives arrived about half an hour later.   After an examination, it was determined that the wife (calling her that as she probably won’t want to be named) was 2cm…

  • Nootropics – Review

    Intro It’s far to say that I’ve taken a number of nootropics over the past 12 months. Being a bit of ‘a worrier’ at baseline, getting made redundant had a bit of a negative effect on me for a while. Worrying is a bit of a pain in the arse, as it impacts your concentration. Meaning…
