About Ed Clements
Nutritional philosophy:
I’ve been interested in the question of what exactly good nutrition is for most of my life, but over the last ten years I have devoted a lot of my time to research into this area.
There is a clear cut relationship between our level of health and the nutrition we receive each day. The conclusions I’ve drawn as to what good nutrition is often clash with the typical advise that we hear.
With the correct nutritional knowledge it is easy to become and to remain extremely lean, muscular and to enjoy very high mental and physical energy levels each day.
I am not an expert, I am an experimenter.I built this site so that I can share all that I have learned about good nutrition and training and thereby help people to improve their body compositionds and to enjoy a more exciting and fun life.
Training Philosophy:
Weights training is great fun and is an easy way to improve your body composition and health.
Regular weights training improves your appearance by both building muscle and burning fat, strengthens your bones, improves your confidence and helps your sporting performance.
If I could only give one piece of weights training advice, it would be to get good at doing compound exercises such as the squat, the deadlift, the bench press, the chin-up and the pull-up. Regularly performing these compound weights exercises will greatly help with whole body muscle gain and will rapidly accelerate fat loss.
I feel that the majority of people are wasting their time at the gym by performing exercises with the wrong technique and by overdoing ineffective isolation exercises.
Bodyweight exercises like pressups, pistols and chinups are massively underrated nowadays. I would recommend these exercises for all athletes as they directly translate into improved sporting performance and also help to keep bodyweight at the ideal level.
Another piece of fitness training advise would be to avoid overdoing aerobic exercise. Obsessive joggers never have muscular
physiques and over practising activities like jogging can hurt your health through a number of mechanisms. Fat loss can be easily achieved through proper weights training and through diet alteration.
