Things I Like This Month: November 2014

This will be the first of many what I call "Things I Like This Month" posts. Each month I'm always finding new equipment, supplements, food, and other random thing I like so, I figure what better to share this than to list them all out for the world to see! So, lets get started for this month:

BATTLE ROPES

As you can see in this video, I couldn’t wait to use my new battleropes when they arrived in the mail. Basically moving these things around is like wind sprints for your arms. While I got a 2” 50’ rope, I’m considering downsizing to a 1.5” 40’ rope so I can move them a little easier. On any note these things are awesome for functional fitness and mixing up a workout. I personally got mine on Amazon but if you're looking for some awesome colored ones, check out the Onnit ones for slightly more.

MRM NATURAL PROTEIN POWDER

Given the fact that I’m currently in a “bulking phase” in my offseason training. I’m having trouble consuming enough food (specifically protein). For this reason I had to go on a search for the healthiest protein powder I could find that didn't taste werid. After several hours of looking at lab tests and other research I stumbled upon MRM Natural Protein Powder. Although this protein powder doesn’t have an organic or grass-fed whey stamp on it. I’m happy with the ingredients for it's sweetened with stevia, has no growth hormones, and is cold processed. For this last week I’ve been having one shake a day ethier post-workout or in the morning with good results thus far.

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES

Although almost everyone can benefit from additional supplementation of digestive enzymes, I'm personally really liking them this month. Taking 1-2 capsules with each meal makes me feel like everything I eat is truly “absorbed” to its higest potentional. Additionally with Thanksgiving just a few days away, this will be a lifesaver for the sampling of delicous of food I will be engaging in. I like NOW foods Super Enymes which are super cheap on Amazon.
