    What you could buy with the fabulous Maxiraw and Strengthshop prizes!
    OK, if you enter the competition and win you will receive £100 from Maxiraw and £30 from Strengthshop (as well as a 3 month subscription to TSR!).

    Some people who are entering are probably not familiar with our sponsors so I thought I'd make some suggestions for good things to spend your winnings on, taken from the sponsors' websites.

    Maxiraw


    Hoodie for training in/keeping warm - £21.99. They also have T-shirts.


    Whey protein powder - £39.99 for 2.5kg - great as a snack during the day or post-workout. For both males AND females. Available in chocolate and strawberry flavours.


    Water bottle - £3.49. Nice water bottles make training so much easier. I often end up using an old squash bottle, which isn't ideal!


    Brand Chain Amino Acids - £28.60 for 100 servings. A really good supplement for muscle recovery.

    Strengthshop


    Rehband knee sleeves - £29.99 for one. Brilliant quality knee sleeves that will keep your knees warm during training and help prevent knee pain. I have these myself and highly recommend them.


    16kg Kettlebell - £29.99. These are available in a range of different weights and materials. Kettlebell training is brilliant for cardio, strength and fat loss and just with just one kettlebell you can do a variety of different exercises in a small area. They are also fantastic for taking with you outside to train in the fresh air.


    Foam roller - £14.99. There are brilliant for anybody who does any kind of exercise. Use them to massage yourself to aid recovery and flexibility.



    Had to spoiler, as the images were a bit big!

    If you win, what will you spend your winnings on?

    That Kettlebell is massive!

    If I won (which is impossible but nevermind) I would get lots of protein from MaxiRaw - choc orange as its gorgeous, BCAAs and turbo test

    Strengthshop - probably another Kettlebell to add to my collection

    edit: saying that I have one of these

    Hehe I know, that's why I spoilered it :p:

    How many kettlebells do you have and what weights do you use? I'm assuming you use different weights for different exercises?

    I love the choc orange protein; got some when they were doing the free samples and I like it! Would be more likely to get a hoodie/water bottle though.

    Definitely looking at that hoodie, water bottle and that 16kg thing; looks like something worth throwing at someone :ahee: just joking.

    Between my brother and I - two 32s and two 20s - girlfriend has a 6, 8 and 10.

    I would like to get a 16 purely for high intensity work

    32 I just for fun, trying to snatch it for a few reps etc and swings

    most exercises done with 20

    I'm working up to 100 reps of swings in 3 sets with a 16kg kettlebell. Did it with 12kg already. Don't know what to do after I make 100 with the 16kg one!
