BSN Nitrix

Thought I would try my hand at some Nitrix Oxide, the packaging for the BSN product looked cool so I thought why not!

Well what can I say apart from the lack of sleep which stuff gives you (not v good for work) the pumps and gains it gives you is enormous, after the first couple of days I can feel the skin tight round my abs and veins are popping out where I didnt think I had any!

Supposedly this stuff kicks in big time in week two so heres hoping! Think im gonna rest all weekend tho to recover cause this stuff tires.

UK Atheltics

Is in a mess, I was watching the comittee meeting last night on the telly and the only thing they could talk about was the finances. Athletics in itself is in dire need of money and investment. UK athletics do not support the root athletes and only the elite.

Take for example the other weekend, I went to throw the hammer down at my local track and was not told that I could not throw the hammer as they play football there. Now there are millions of football pitches all over Derby and only one athletics track. It really pissed me off the fact that I cant train my sport because the council think football is so important.

All the 2012 olympics will provide the government with some money and the crowds some oohs and ahhs but nothing is being done to progress the sport.

MMTG Throwsfest

Competed at stoke today at the MMTG throwsfest. One of my fellow competees called Baz introduced me to this group. At the moment I am shattered. lol, I had to throw the 3kg 4kg 5kg 7kg and 9kg all at three rounds each, what was surprising was that there were 70 year old's there that put me to shame.

The event lasted all day and had to face the big 9kg at the end. This was a mission in the least. What I really liked about the event was that it dragged on and I felt as if I had to concentrate more on my technique. Cleansing by fire is the phrase.

To try and progress my technique Im going straight down the track when I get up tomorrow to continue................

Intro

I thought I would write a blog to reflect how competitions and my training progresses.

I am 24 years old and compete for Derby athletic club in the hammer and discus.
