The Temple of Iron

Physical training must be part of your everyday life. Below are some general guidelines which you can keep in mind when structuring your own training.


1. PROGRESSION IS EVERYTHING

Getting continuously stronger is the key to getting more muscular. Making small increases every week for a long period of time will eventually add up to a lot of accumulated strength. Your goal in the gym should always be to increase the weights you use, or alternatively increase the amount of repetitions you can do with a certain weight.


2. FOCUS ON THE HEAVY COMPOUND MOVEMENTS

These exercises include; benchpress, deadlifts, squats, militarypress, rows, chins (among others). If you structure your schedule around these exercises you will make sure that the entire body gets trained. Moreover, not only are these superior exercises in terms of how much stimuli they give your entire body, they are also easier to progress in over a long period of time, since you will always have access to a barbell (at most gyms).


3. TRAIN EVERY MUSCLE GROUP AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK

For optimal hypertrophy it is recommended that naturals (i.e. training without exogenous hormones) train each muscle twice a week, this is due to the length of the muscle protein synthesis. Training each muscle once a week works if you are taking certain substances, so do not confuse the training style of pro-bodybuilders with something that should be emulated. Moreover, performing an exercise more frequently will give you more opportunities to progress in that exercise. Furthermore, the more often you perform an exercise, the more you will reinforce the movement pattern of that exercise, which will make it easier to progress.


4. MAKE SURE THAT YOU EAT AND SLEEP ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM IN THE GYM

Sleep is a luxury, if you have the possibility to sleep for eight hours each night, you should definitely seize that opportunity. View food as fuel for your progress in the gym, if you are stalling in any of the lifts; increase your caloric intake. Moreover, a good and nutritious diet is also recommended for your performance in other endeavours. Your mind and body is one, take care of yourself to perform at your best, both physically and mentally.


5. TRAIN WITH PASSION

View your training sessions as rites of strength performed in honour of something greater than yourself. If you view your training sessions as a matter of life and death you are more likely to continuously perform well.

Vitamin C taken together with Magnesiun actually has proven to have anti-cancer effects by inhibiting the hormetic response at a low dose. Read more here.

Natural (and unsweetened) coconut water is a rich source of potassium, which works in synergy with magnesium to improve mood, mental, muscle, bones and heart health. If you don't have coconut water, you can substitute it with a pinch of cream of tartar.

Celtic Sea salt is the salt I usually recommend because is one of the few brands that take good care sourcing their salts and testing for microplastics - as well as having a beautiful mineral content!

Our Magnesium Bisglycinate is easier to absorb than other types of magnesium thanks to its great solubility. It's also better and kinder to your gut compared to other magnesium types and helps  with exercise performance, recovery, better sleep, healthy heart rythms and bone health, reduces pain (and PMS, in women) and is a known treatment for those suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome or heart failure.

This is one of few supplements directly related to athletic performance that I (Marcus) can recommend (it has been a popular supplement for athletes for decades!).

Collagen and whey are not supplements but food (I add both to my daily smoothie).

Note: take 1 scoop a day. Some recommend having a 'load-up'-phase, I would advise against this, as it will lead to unpleasant hydration imbalances.

The Greatest PWO Three notes! 1. The powder of t The Greatest PWO

Three notes!

1. The powder of the current batch may come a bit lumped. This is on me – mea culpa! – I sought to alter the formula slightly. The next batch will be normal. Note, there is nothing wrong when it comes lumped, it is just a matter of breaking off pieces.

2. I do, of course, want you to use this particular PWO if you are using one. However, do note that a PWO is not necessary. I drink coffee before the majority of my sessions, I view the Werewolfbrew as a luxury to drink before certain sessions. 

3. A PWO is basically a substitute for coffee – treat it as such. Main point: do not take it too late in the day, lest thou MOGG thy sleep!
