Instant Whey Duo® contains a precise blend of ultra-high quality proteins, the main two are undenatured ultra filtered whey protein and Nutralys®. The pairing of the two proteins provides a unique amino acid profile that neither protein on its own could ever deliver.

It is what Reflex Nutrition believes to be one of the best combinations of protein ever brought together for athletes; being both rich in Branch Chain Amino Acids, Arginine and Glutamine.

Over the next few weeks, Reflex and I will be releasing 3 videos that will help you understand the Y3T training system. In these videos, I take fellow #TeamReflex mate, Ben West, through a few sample exercises, showing perfect form and explaining their detail in relation to Y3T.

• A 3.2g dose of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) per serving
• A 300mg dose of green tea per daily serving
• Low glycemic index (GI), low carbohydrate
• Fantastic flavours

When it comes to getting fit, rowing will get you there quicker than any other form of cardiovascular exercise and is something that not enough of us in the gym actually do. Take a look around your gym on a Monday evening – chances are you'll have to wait for a treadmill or a cross-trainer or have to forego that weight-training circuit because, quite frankly, there are never enough free weights available to get through one of those! But 99% of the time, you'll have access to a rowing machine.

I am Amir Williamson, an International Track and Field athlete competing for Great Britain in the Hammer Throw. I have competed internationally since the age of 16 and have been working with Reflex for some time now, helping me get to my personal best of 69.72m

Since my race season has now ended after competing in Las Vegas at the World Ironman 70.3^† Championships, its back to base training for me.

This comprises of a couple of weeks chilling out with some gentle training. This will help me unwind from a tough seasons training and racing.  Now I am back into specific dedicated training and working on my weak areas, increasing my aerobic conditioning and helping me to hopefully avoid injuries.

My Name is Ross McCandless, I am 30 years old and live in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. I work as an IT Manager for a busy local company providing IT solutions for Small/Medium sized businesses. Due to the nature of the business and the dependency businesses have on their IT solutions my role is very demanding physically and mentally.

On the night of the 14^th of August 2012 we congregated, said goodbye to our families and flew to Kilimanjaro Airport. In total we had travelled for over 28 hours and were all glad to finally be sitting down to rest. We weren’t relaxing for long though as the next morning we were packed and leaving for the mountain, the entire group setting out in a convoy of safari jeeps and minibuses. We drove through local villages and towns, toured the barren countryside and traversed the steep and winding mountain path stopping only to sign our names in recognition of the start of our climb. From here on out we were travelling by foot.

Motivation immediately after the Olympics for me was easy to find. I'm very goal orientated so immediately set myself the challenge of breaking the British record and also winning the athletics diamond league and I achieved both by the first week of September.

October 2012, the price of whey protein is at an all-time high, supply is becoming limited as dairies struggle to cope with demand and to top it all the U.K government decides to add VAT to sports nutrition. It might sound like the end of the world for users of whey protein but there is good news.

2012 so far has seen me complete a goal that I set over a year ago.....to compete in a bodybuilding show having stopped playing any form of competitive rugby.  Since watching a bodybuilding competition roughly 2 years ago I knew that was what I wanted to pursue....I set myself the goal to compete. 

Okay, so most of us in the gym scene have heard of the phenomenon known as muscle memory. It is the occurrence of fast growth in a person who is regaining the lost muscle he / she has allowed to atrophy, due to injury, time off etc. However, many believe this process, or term, to be a myth. So I'm here to tell you, in brief, that it’s not! I will try to explain exactly what it is and what causes it to occur. However, please note that I could baffle you for ages with the science behind it all, but I'm going to try keep this simple and to the point.

Almond butter is becoming increasingly more popular these days.

Peanut butter has been popular for ages especially amongst the fitness crowd, but almond butter is catching up. It tends to be a nutritional addition to almost  all those that are heavily involved in lifting weights. However, do you know the nutritional differences between the two? They both have their own advantages that you can add to your dietary plans, but let's look at almond butter in more detail.

Well, since this is my first blog post for Reflex, a brief bit about who I am. I am a lifetime natural bodybuilder and have recently turned 40 years of age, which apparently now makes me a “Master”! However, having competed since the age of 19 I feel that I am really hitting my peak over the last 10 years or so and certainly not looking to compete in the older classes yet. 

My primary goals for this coming winter are to represent Team GB at either the Youth Olympic Games or the World Junior Championships and to Improve my explosive power and agility. I am currently using Reflex products to help me on my way to achieving these goals as they speed up my recovery time and give me the reassurance that I have all the essential proteins, vitamins and minerals to let me perform at my highest capacity both on the slopes and in the gym. 

Another week’s worth of training done and more good results on the time trial bike and good results in training. Have I hit form? I think so, if not I’m close to it.

The last time I left you and I was heading north to the Peal District for a training weekend. On the Friday I was feeling pretty good so I went and raced at the track in the evening, no results to shout about but it was a good workout and loads of fun. 

It's been a slow year for me so far in terms of working as a fitness model.  I have only done one shoot so far this year, which was for muscle & fitness so I can't really complain about that now can I. It was a dream come true to shoot and work for them and hopefully some more publications to come in the future. 

I recently started working with a lady called Julie. Her consultation wasone of the best I've ever had - I got to speak with a lady who told meeverything! In the world of personal training & S&C it's rare that someonewill give you the whole picture about dietry habits, training habits, andlifestyle habits - so it was refreshing and hugely motivating for me.

Few people today, realise the vital contribution to health and effect on sports performance that magnesium offers.

This is a brief but very important article about vitamin K2 that everyone should read.  Specifically a patented form of vitamin K2-MK-7, the most bioavailable and biologically active type of vitamin K – and why we use it in Nexgen+ Sports.

Currently, tocotrienol is most well-known for its cholesterol-lowering properties, a claim discovered in the 1980’s. Numerous studies since have demonstrated that tocotrienols lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Commonly referred to as a healthy source of protein, soy protein, is far from healthy; In fact we strongly believe that it could damage your health which is why you will not find soy protein in any Reflex product.

Soy beans contain a number of naturally occurring toxins that are both toxic to humans and animals. Soy protein contains even more toxins, during the chemical manufacturing process.
