Boom Review: Becoming a Personal Trainer for Dummies
Posted: March 11, 2015 in Product ReviewsTags: Boom Review, Personal Trainer
I just finished reading this book. The only reason I decided to read this one instead of the 8 textbooks I have was fundamental curiosity. I wanted to see if it had anything different to bring to the table. It did. It was very informative on the business side of being a personal trainer. The book assumes that the reader already has certification as a trainer so the base of the book is slightly misleading. There is alot of information that is useful for running a business including links to forms and manuals that would be useful. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone who doesn’t have their certificate already. It would be good to read after you pass your exam. This book will come in handy after I pass my exam!
Great article on a subject that I deal with daily.

Supplement Review: MHP’s Products
Posted: March 10, 2015 in Product ReviewsTags: Maximum Human Performance, Supplement Review
the past few months I have used 3 products from Maximum Human Performance. I have been using ISOFast protein powder, Dark Matter Zero Carb Post-Workout, and Dark Rage Pre-Workout. I will review them all individually, but let me just say that overall, I have seen great results from these products. Since I started taking them I have seen muscle growth and definition improve, my energy while working out increase, and my post-workout recovery time needed decrease.
ISOFast Whey Protein – This product is the best protein powder that I have tried. It tastes very good. Mixes well with milk or water. It has been instrumental in my muscle growth. I have seen the biggest muscle gains with this protein supplement. Most of the time, I use it as a breakfast meal right after my morning workout. I mix it with milk, a banana, some berries, and sometimes kale/spinach. It tastes great and helps me with my over-night fasting hunger pangs.
Dark Matter Zero Carb – I think that using this concentrate has helped me with my weight gain/loss. Without changing my diet too much, I have cut some carbs and used Dark Matter Zero Carb to help with recovery and muscle growth. With this reduction in carbs, I have seen some weight loss and using this product has helped with my workout recovery and energy. It tastes a little funny (chalky) but not unbearable.
Dark Rage – I originally tried the recommended dose of this product. It was TOO much!!! I felt very shaky and weird. I cut it in half after that and it was great. Gave me the right amount of energy. When my body got accustomed to that I kicked it up to 3/4 of a scoop. This is where I am currently sitting and loving it. Plenty of energy for my morning and afternoon workouts, helps me with my intra-workout recovery/post-workout recovery, and giving me that “pump” I like to see while lifting.
