Hi,
I’m just an ordinary Joe I am not a Sports Scientist or have any fancy letters after my name. This is my findings after trying some of the supplements from both companies. I have not received freebies from any of the companies above for any of my content – just as well or they might be asking for it back!
After the turn of the year I had started following a competitor I know from doing events together in the past. He was sponsored by Keto so I started looking into the diet side of things and their supplements – what can I say I’m nosey! I had some lumber to shift as I was a stone over weight from not doing any fitness for over 1 1/2 yrs.
I had done my homework on the supplements it recommended doing the diet before using their supplements. So I did and funnily enough by cutting out less carbs – bread – pasta – potatoes – crisps – biscuits I lost a stone in about 5wks. Felt really good about that too so I placed my order. Now the little personal touch goes a long way and Richard at Keto – Pro does that well and is a real good guy!
I received my order with a lovely note attached as shown in the picture below.
Now the Keto Performance pre workout I found worked well the Creatine too! I noticed I was getting better times in my tabbing and gym work and wasn’t feeling flat. So I was pretty impressed by it and actually did a blog on my thoughts about Keto supplements. I can only tell you how I felt at the time though which was pretty fucking good. Though I did mention one thing to my Coach Venessa Moffat at the time about a feeling I had – remember this at the end.
I hit a tricky patch with my diet and wasn’t as disciplined as I was with my training to be honest – that actually got me down! I was putting too much pressure on myself to eat this and not that ( see not just a women thing ), I would get annoyed and just eat more shit! So I packed in the diet and just continued to train the same but using the supplements. After ordering after the rebrand I had mistakenly ordered the wrong stuff and boy did I not like it..
So I stopped using the supplements and just continued with my diet of eating good & bad foods but in moderation. Obviously my training continued and I had completed my biggest goal of the year Paras’10 at Catterick supplement free. I managed a superb personal best beating my best time from 5 years back ( 12 minutes off time ).
1stPhorm
I have been following Derek Weida for some time on Instagram and on Facebook hell I even joined the Weida Group – some amazing and inspiring people in there it has to be said. Derek was doing his pitch on 1stPhorm on the stack he uses – I have to admit the guy could sell shit to a toilet though.
Anyways I could see the difference Derek had made to his physique the last 6 months or so and it’s impressive. So I found out A-list Nutrition stocked 1stPhorm here in the UK so I ordered myself the stack. Have to admit the service from A-list is top drawer too. I never noticed when I placed the order I got a free t-shirt because it was over a certain amount. What a bonus cause it’s great for working out in too.
I started upping my training for an upcoming Challenge and so far I’m loving the stack. I have continued to smash more personal bests both at another endurance event Kielder Marathon (15 mins off time ) and lifting in the gym since using it. I reordered and bagged another t-shirt what can I say I’m shameless – by the way Level 1 Bars are off the charts good.
Now here is what I said to my Coach Ness at the time of using Keto and doing the blog. Ness I’m not sure if it’s just a mental boost by taking supplements – by doing that we trick our bodies into thinking we’re faster and stronger! 2 new PB’s one without supplements and 1 with.
I know there’s athlete’s who don’t use supplements at all and do really well too. Bottom line you do what’s right for you it’s your fitness journey after all don’t be swayed by other’s….
Me I will continue on my own path
