In today’s interview we speak to Darren Hoff, a highly motivated amateur bodybuilder, with big goals. Darren Hoff is working hard towards becoming a fitness model and sponsored athlete; we talk to him about where he’s come from, how he trains, his diet, progress to date and future ambitions.
We’ve all heard them, you almost can’t have a conversation with someone about bodybuilding or weight training with the average person, without hearing them. They range from the utterly ridiculous, to sounding like there may be some reasoning behind them. In this article we’re going to debunk five of the biggest bodybuilding myths there are, [...]
Creatine supplementation is something that worried mothers worldwide love to concern themselves with. “Isn’t that like steroids?” “I swear I heard about that stuff on the news…” “Your cousin used to take that stuff before he died…” Yada, yada. For some reason creatine seems to have gotten a bit of a reputation as a serious [...]
In our previous post in this series we discussed the benefits of a whey protein supplement such as Nutrisport 90+ or PhD Pharma Whey HT+ in your diet. Another common supplement that strength athletes and bodybuilders add to their diets is Nitric Oxide, but the reasoning behind this is far less well known. So why should a [...]
Value for money is perhaps the most important factor in considering Whey Protein, and anyone who invests their time and effort into weightlifting wants to be sure they aren’t being let down by their nutrition. But does this always mean having to pay over the odds? Nutrisport don’t think so, with the increasingly popular 90+ [...]

It’s probably not the first time that you’ve heard that a great body is made in the kitchen, not inside the gym. Why not try intermittent fasting? Whilst it’s important to train hard and stick to a solid lifting routine, not having your nutrition in check will devastate any gains, and result in gains of [...]

Lots of bodybuilders and weight lifters regularly employ whey protein as part of their diet, but few tend to go for casein as an option, as it’s less aggressively marketed by the supplement industry. Casein is one of the most common proteins found in milk, casein for example makes up about 80% of the protein [...]

“What supplements should I take?” is a question lots of people ask themselves (and others) when they start lifting weights. The supplements recommended to you should be tailored based upon your goals, and will likely vary considerably depending on your goals and current level of progress. In this series of articles I aim to outline [...]
Universal Nutrition’s Shock Therapy follows in the well-established tradition of weightlifting supplements being named by over-enthusiastic 9 year olds – but whilst the name wouldn’t feel out of place on a crudely drawn crayon superhero, the contents of the product are far more of an adult affair. With the market quite literally ‘flooded’ with pre-workout [...]
The front squat is much the same as a back squat, except rather than resting the bar on your traps, you support the bar on your shoulders. Lots of people utilise the back squat in their workout routines, but few tend to take advantage of the front squat. The front squat is great for building [...]
So what are weight lifting straps? Weight lifting straps are straps that you wrap around your wrists and the object you are trying to grip (for example a barbell, or a pull-up bar). They make it easier to grip heavier things, and take grip out of the equation altogether. It is for this reason that [...]
