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

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

@martin-futter The other thing is that sugar substitutes aren't much better for you, so in this day and age you are stuffed unless you go vegan ( who the hell would do that). The good thing is it goes take much to cut down and thats where you get the benefits. Also I can trick my brain into thinking fermented sugars don't count....:smiling_face_with_halo:

@mark-gorton the crazy thing with sugar is how many foods it is added to that you would never expect. I have to be careful with it as it has a really strong fatigue and irritable effect on me, not to mention a scarily high fast rate I get from it!

Just hit 60 this year and sugar is the white devil....trained hard all my life ( ex military) and play just as hard. I would train 5 days a week, and ate/drank sugar in all its forms.... Had a big scare at 55 and although I was fit as a butchers dog, the sugar and chemicals I put into my body negated the hard work. As a result now have cut out sugar and caffeine and feel a lot better, training isn't as hard (at my level now) on my body and I feel more alert. Still have treats but don't crave which is the best feeling.
