Supplement Series: Be AmaZn - Zinc

Today's Supplement Series post talks about Zinc. Zinc isn't particularly exciting to talk about and if we eat a balanced diet we typically don't have to worry about it. The science isn't in complete agreement, but suggests that it may play a role in maintaining testosterone concentrations - which are important for exercise and power output, even for girls. 

I also think I completely made up that "Be Amazing" - where the post title comes from - is Aimee Everett's slogan, which I had said earlier on a Facebook update. Either way, Aimee is one of my favourite people to follow on Twitter and an amaZn lifter. Check her and Catalyst Athletics out! 

Supplement Series: OhMg! - Magnesium

This is the first post in the EMOM with ETOM Supplement Series, which will discuss the supplements I take and why I take them. I try to break down the science as much as I can with the "take home" points and "one-liners" but please don't hesitate to leave comments on the post with any questions or things you might need me to clear up!

At then end of the series, there will be a discussion of the specific supplements I take (brands and combinations), how I take them (timing, dosage), and what I feel their perceived benefits are. 

First up - OhMg! Magnesium! Enjoy :)
