Hammer Recoverite – Glutamine Fortified Recovery Drink 0

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Head Coach

BENEFITS

Recoverite recovery drinks come in these delicious flavors:Chocolate, Citrus, and Strawberry.Recoverite - Glutamine Recovery Drink

How well you perform tomorrow depends on how well you recover today, which is why you can’t cut corners when it comes to your post-workout fueling. Recoverite supplies your body with the proper 3:1 ratio of complex carbohydrates and the highest quality whey protein isolate, along with generous amounts of multi-beneficial glutamine (a whopping 3 grams per serving!), the potent antioxidant l-carnosine, and a full-spectrum electrolyte profile. The result is rapid and enhanced recovery, which allows you to obtain the maximum value from all your hard workouts, ideally prepping your body for your next workout or race. Make sure you’re recovering right with Recoverite and remember, it makes a superb meal replacement drink as well. Train hard, recover right today and feel great tomorrow.

Extra Benefits:
The amino acid glutamine, also contained in Hammer Whey, plays a vital role in the health of the muscles, immune system, and digestive tract. Glutamine is arguably the key "recovery amino" as it (A) helps boost the immune system (B) helps to reduce the symptoms of overtraining syndrome (C) plays a role in enhancing glycogen synthesis (D) stimulates muscle protein synthesis for the rebuilding of lean muscle tissue.

PRODUCT DETAIL

Athletic performance improvement depends on a program of exercise to stimulate muscular and cardiovascular adaptation followed by a recovery period in which the body rebuilds itself slightly more fit than before. Thus, the real gain of exercise occurs during recovery, but only in the presence of adequate rest and optimal nutritional support. Carbohydrate and protein replenishment, as soon as possible upon completion of the workout, helps you to get the very most out of every minute you’ve put into training. That’s where Recoverite comes in, providing unsurpassed nutritional support to ensure you obtain the maximum value from your workouts and complete recovery after each training session and race.

Accelerade – Advance Sports Drink 0

Posted on May 27, 2010 by Head Coach

Accelerade in ready-to-drink form makes it easy to take it with you. We think you’ll find that’s a good thing. Because when you’re out training or recovering from that last long, hard session, our patented 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein will be within arm’s reach. And you’ll be seconds away from increased endurance, quicker recovery and better rehydration. So, get your hands on it.

Why Accelerade is Better

Exercise Metabolism

Carbohydrates and fats are the primary fuels metabolized during endurance exercise. However, during prolonged exercise, protein can contribute 5-10% of total energy demands [1, 2] and this contribution can increase under conditions of low carbohydrate stores [3, 4]. Protein’s contribution to total energy production during exercise is less than carbohydrates and fat, but don’t rule out the impact protein can have during endurance training and performance.

Power Systems – High Density Foam Rollers 1

Posted on May 26, 2010 by Head Coach

Close this window
Foam Rolling or Body Rolling is a form of self-massage used by fitness enthusiasts, athletes and therapists to relax or “release” tight muscles. This form of massage is designed to increase elasticity of connective tissue therefore relaxing the muscles allowing them to respond more efficiently and effectively during activity.
Foam Rollers can be an invaluable tool for core development, stabilization and strengthening. Foam rollers can also be used to enhance balance for everyday activities or sports. Rollers come in various sizes ranging from 12” up to 36” in length and are usually 6” in diameter in full or half models. The longer rollers are typically used for massage as well as postural alignment. Whereas the shorter rollers are ideal for acute massage or make an excellent travel companion for on the road self massage. The half round versions are sometimes used to enhance some balance exercises or to decrease the need for balance for other exercises. Either way, foam rolling is a bonus to any exercise routine!
