When I first started traveling, I never seemed to have the right equipment, or the right bags for my equipment.  I was always trying to find something makeshift, and it always seemed really difficult.  Thankfully, I’ve gotten better over time.  A few years ago, I started using dakine bags.  They’ve really been fantastic, and they make traveling so much easier.  They’re made specifically for sports like skiing, skating, and snowboarding, and now I can totally see why they are so popular.  I wish I’d known about them all along!  I suppose it’s better to learn about it later than to still be doing things the hard way, however.

Most people realize that building muscle requires regular strength training exercise (such as lifting weights) and a proper diet. However, did you know that rest is vital for effective muscle building? When you lift weights, your muscles fibers are stressed and torn. This doesn’t actually build muscle–the act of repairing the muscles is what causes them to grow. Your body repairs muscles while you sleep. No sleep? No muscle. It’s that simple. So, if you want big, strong muscles, make sure to get those 8 hours of beauty sleep. A great program for effective muscle building is No-Nonsense Muscle Building by Vince Delmonte (German translation: Effektiver Muskelaufbau von Vince Delmonte).

When it comes to being a football fan, there is nothing better that watching a match live. The Wolverhampton Wanders are one of the best teams to watch. I especially like watching the retro Wolves play some old school football. I especially like watching matches from back in the day when they went from being an average team to winning the title. They went through some tough times. They even moved some of their players to North America to win a few more titles. It really does not matter what match you are watching they are always a joy to watch.

I used to worry all the time about my brother Robert.  He loves to ride his motorcycle everywhere.  Sometimes he will travel very far, but sometimes he will just go to the local grocery store.  Nevertheless, an accident can take place anywhere.  He told me not to worry, and he showed me some facts about Scorpion Helmets (the type of helmets he wears).  Turns out the helmets have the latest technology for a safe ride.  They are even wind-tunnel tested, which makes me think they do a lot of study before they sell their products.  I still worry about him, but I feel a little better knowing what kind of protection he has on his head.

I hope I do not sound too big headed but I feel in really good nick at the moment. I have been on the treadmill at home for over an hour a day and I must say that it has really paid off. This is great news for me as I was over weight for about three years in total. One of the biggest contributing factors has been a dramatic shift in my diet to a more protein rich one. I have been supplementing with Sci-MX 100% Whey up to three times daily to help me out and get at least 150 gram per day.
