Save yourself time and money with GoldStandard
steam cooked chicken
 
When I design diet plans for clients I usually point them in the direction of Iceland or one of the supermarket chains to get ready-cooked chicken. Most people don’t have the time and energy to cook up kilos of chicken multiple times a week (if you do, great – you have more time than most people, enjoy it!). They want something ready-to-go and in this age of instant gratification and limited time, it’s a no-brainer.


I recently tried the new product from GoldStandard nutrition, steam cooked chicken. The chicken comes in individually steamed breasts, skin removed and no E-numbers, preservatives or water
injections. It comes in a 2.5kg pack of frozen, pre-cooked breasts and wait for it, the price…£19.00 for a pack (this drops down to £17.00 if you purchase 4).


I found it difficult to find uncooked chicken for this price, let alone cooked. Simply pop out a few breasts the night before, leave in the fridge and in the morning they are ready to rock. As if this wasn’t enough I can tell you from my own experience (eating a very measured diet, every meal weighed and calculated) that 140g of this stuff will leave you as full as 180g of the supermarket options, which, let’s be honest, are pumped full of water. It’s worth adding this into the equation when calculating the value of this product.


I for one will never go back to Iceland for my chicken and I encourage any of my clients and members of this site to give GoldStandard a try. You will thank me.

This past Saturday was a great day for me, attending the Fitness Authority Team Extreme seminar at Panther's Gym. The athletes comprise some of the best bodybuilders on the planet with British and world champions not to mention IFBB Pro and rank #2 212 division Sami Al Hadad. 

The day kicked off with each athlete giving a brief description of their achievements and championships, then a Q&A session which was a real eye-opener. The atmosphere was just great, lots of jokes and laughter but also some great advice, tips and stories. After a free lunch (courtesy of Panthers) we went to business, to the gym itself to train :D 

It was a real inspiration to be training alongside the top athletes in bodybuilding, although it reinforced my own goals and put things in perspective for me. We all need a reality check sometimes. Lots of work to do, re-fuelled my motivation tanks.

Thanks to the guys at FA and the athletes for putting on this event for free, also thanks to my good friends at Panthers for providing the venue and food!
