The Sustainable Journey Part 3 By: Jacob Wellock   Well here we go with another blog post for week 3! I hope everyone has been enjoying the posts. I have to say that I have been having fun with it. There are definitely some hard days when you’re really out of it or you are just too tired to make food when you get home due to the long day. I am not trying to use that as an excuse, but I am human and falter from the plan a little bit. There is still another week to go yet! I have to say, there have only been some slight modifications in my diet and training and I already feel better internally. You can’t really hide from soreness and achiness from training, especially when you treat it like a sport. There is a distinct difference between doing Welded for health...Read more

By Jacob Wellock   Hi everyone, I am going to be writing about supplementation and the products that us coaches like to use on a daily basis. If any of you have been in our gym, you know that we carry the entire line of Xendurance products. We are all firm believers in the product because we have tested all of them for a long time and have noticed the benefits of them, unlike some other companies that have been used in the past.
