@matt-wood amazing, I think they have rules in Iceland about names - I’m sure they told me that when I was there, unless they were taking the p**s

Great shout! @matt-wood

Will keep my eye out on this!

[Matt Wood]

Obviously all the focus is on the Euros at the moment but Id just like to throw some support and attention to the Stoltman brothers. Worlds strongest man starts tomorrow and big Tom Stoltman finish 2nd last year. Lets hope he can go one further this year.

Anyone who might be interested, they have a youtube channel, Ive been following for a few years, and its really very cool to see Tom in particular use the strongman training and lifestyle to help with his autism.

Lets have Stoltman 1 and 2 this year lads

Does a bottle of Red Wine count as one of my five a day?

Just watched this on the Tube:

Sad story and a wasted talent, very under rated heavyweight in his day and not given enough credit now.

@matt-wood

Thanks for the tip, Matt.

[Matt Wood]

For anyone interested BBC is currently showing the European Olympic Boxing Qualifiers. Some good talent on display so far, as I type this there is a young Italian lady fighting, looks s**t hot!

[Ryan]

@matt-wood pretty in depth stuff, Ive been impressed so far.

I have just watched a few of Rich Rolls on YT as well - joy of having a baby up so early and then has to sleep on me I can watch YT in peace lol

[Matt Wood]

@ryan Not come across that one, will have to check it out, Thanks

[Ryan]

@matt-wood have you listened to huberman podcast? Adam told me about it fascinating stuff.

[Ryan]

@matt-wood Yep, always been a fan they usually do a few good sales through the year too so can load up.

[Matt Wood]

@ryan Yes, less quality across the board there but their hydrolised beef protein powder is excellent! Good deals too.

[Ryan]

I’m also a fan of bulk powders!

Myprotein doing a 45% off everything right now, they do a lot of promotions but just started my cricket season and training so topping up and taking advantage of it

Good product at Myprotein, thats a good sale too.

For those wondering about the choice of products on offer (feckin loads) I remember seeing the independant lab tests and the Impact Whey or Diet Impact Whey are probably best value for money.
For vegans the pea protein isolate is more pricey but is good quality.

Isolates tend to be easier on the digestion than non-isolate.

As a general rule for those buying protein powder anywhere, always pay attention to the ingredients. If they say something along the lines of 'proprietary blend' or similar wording be a little suspicious and research further.

For any nerds out there more interested check the website supplementlabtest.com. Probably other similar websites out there too.

General warning to those using whey powders, abuse them at your own risk, you WILL s**t your brains out daily if you do
