Slazenger Performance Range

Having the right gear to work out or train in is very important to be as I need to be comfortable to completely focus and train hard.

Slazenger has recent released a new sports performance range, (which is available at Big-W!) this includes performance tights, performance singlets and tops, and also shorts. 


Above is myself in the performance singlet, performance tights and also shorts.
I am quite tall (being 6'7) and these were actually a very good fit, extremely comfortable. 


Side view to show how they fit. All three items are a size large. 


Another photo showing just the singlet and tights.

The grey areas on the singlet are a mesh section making it super breathable and light weight, (there is a section on the back not shown). 
The shorts were super light weight, which meant I hardly noticed them while running!

I was super satisfied while working out in these, I would highly recommend these to anyone. Wether working out in the gym, running outside or playing indoor sports!

As mentioned above these are available at Big-W!

VS Sassoon for men - The Crew Cut

I personally find it very frustrating having to pay $20 for someone to cut my hair when with the right tool I could be doing this in my own home for free! 


Pictured above is 'the crew cut' by VS Sassoon for men. 
Included in the pack is a hair clipper and a finishing trimmer.


They are both very modern looking, and extremely easy to use!

The clippers also have an adjustable head on them to allow you to decide what length you would like. It wasvery easy to use, no help needed at all and you also don't have to pay that $20 at the hairdressers for the exact same results! 

The finishing trimmer was perfect for tidying the bits I couldn't quite get with the trimmer like around my ears and sideburns. I did however have to get a little assistance for the back of my neck, which isn't so bad considering I managed the rest myself!

This is an amazing product and I would definitely recomend this to anyone who does have short hair as this makes it even easier to maintain the short style and look, with no extra expenses. All from the comfort of your own home!

The crew cut is available exclusively at The Shaver Shop for only $119! 


Also with free shipping within Australia!

Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse

I do quite a bit of of computer gaming amongst my time spent on my xbox, and I often find it quite frustrating trying to use the keyboard controls! No longer is this a struggle! The Logitech G502 Proteus Core tunable gaming mouse is an incredible piece of hardware to have if you enjoy gaming on a computer. (Mac or PC!) 


This mouse comes with 11 tunable buttons, yes you read correctly! 11! 
A hyper fast scroll wheel at the push of a button! (The scroll wheel can be used as normal, but once the scroll mode button is pushed the wheel will turn extremely fast compared to normal)
You can set three different profiles on the G502 with different button set ups and switch between them with a single button push!
There are also a number of small weights that can be added according to preference on weight and feel of the mouse once you add them. Personally I added all of them as I prefer a heavier feel.


The G502 also looks quite modern and stylish! 


Excuse the poor photo quality here! 
Once connected to the computer if you make your way to the Logitech website you can follow prompts to the software needed to tune the mouse to your needs. (The website is very easy to navigate and find what you need, which means it was frustration free!)
Once the software is installed you can begin customising the G502 to your needs. The software was very easy to navigate which was another huge positive! 

All in all this is an amazing product and I would recommend it to anyone who games and even just any computer user. 
You can even set up buttons to copy and paste for you. Very convenient and easy to use. 

This is available through Shopping Express on their website shoppingexpress.com.au for currently only $69! (RRP is $89.95!) Check it out!

Fyve - Tall Hoodie

Being tall I always struggle to find clothes to fit. It always seems that as sizes go up the clothes only get wider and not longer. This makes shopping forever frustrating and no fun at all.


I stumbled across an Australian snow brand called Fyve not too long ago and I was very surprised to see that they sold a lot of tall fitting clothing. I decided to give it a whirl and purchased a tall hoodie. 


I primarily bought this hoodie to wear at the snow, as you can see above! 
But after I found it fit so well I wear it everywhere.
It's a perfect length, and it is extremely comfortable. Definitely looking to buy a couple more and also look at getting some tall t-shirts!
This is all available on the Fyve website, the tall hoodie pictures above only cost me $82. Couldn't be happier with it!
The staff at Fyve were also super helpful with sizing and all the questions I had.

Destiny - Xbox One

I have always been a Play Station man till I was talked into buying an Xbox One after weeks of convincing from friends. This was a decision I ended up being quite pleased with. 


I received the following: 
- Xbox One 
- Kinect
- Wireless headset 
- One wireless controller 
- 12 month Xbox gold membership 
- Destiny
- Asassins creed IV, black flag
For a price of $660 from JB Hi-Fi.


Straight after setting up my Xbox I started playing Destiny and I was very impressed from the start.
This game has amazing graphics and scenery which really impressed me. 
Here are a few snapshots:


As you can see these are really high quality. 
The game play itself is quite awesome, you have the option of playing the story mode on your own and taking on side quests as you go, or you can do what I did and do it with friends. 
Destiny is a fully online multi-player game.
You can 'party up' with friends and help each other out if you're stuck on missions or just have fun playing it out together. 
There is also an option to play desperate game types separate to the main gameplay, an online system similar to that of Call of Duty. This was great as I've always been a CoD fan.
This made Destiny a lot more appealing to me as I love to play story mode but I also love playing online with friends.
All in all this is a fantastic game and I thoroughly enjoy playing it! 

Max's Suppluments

Max's gym supplements
A very well known brand throughout the gym scene! 
After signing up for Max's 12 week challenge I had to find the right supplements to suite my personal goals. These supplements were perfect! 
This package was a special and all up costing $265 (free shaker) ;) 
- this was purchased from Vitamin King, an Australian online supplement store, who sell supplements affordably cheap! 
-Max's SuperSize 
A mass gainer protein, I chose banana cream flavour which is absolutely delicious! 
Taken with low fat milk this gives you 54 grams of protein per serve, or 34 in water. 
This has been great at helping me out on some size which has been forever difficult with my long and tall body frame.

-Max's Nitetime
A protein blend containing Casein, a slow release protein and also containing medium release protein. The Nitetime mix releases the protein to your body over 7 hours and also contains amino acids to spike hormone release and also contains calming herbs to help you get the best sleep you can to allow your muscles to recover properly.
I always seem to get a better nights sleep and wake up feeling well rested and refreshed! I chose vanilla flavour for this protein which is delicious with milk.

-Max's Cre8 Carnage 
This creatine is by far the most advanced I have found, 8 different types of creatine that are absorbed into the muscles very fast and are long lasting. 
This creatine blend also contains Beta Alanine and Histidine which combine to form Carnosine, a powerful buffer that reduces lactic acidosis (the production of hydrogen lons) which causes muscle fatigue. 
This basically means you will not become as fatigued between sets or workouts, which I have definitely experienced while using this creatine, I've been able to squeeze out those last reps I never thought possible!
It also contains Arginine Alphaketoglutarate which helps to the creatine to the muscle cells faster for even better results! 
Also being flavourless this makes it really easy to consume with your protein shake or with juice! 

-Max's hybrid BCAA's 10:1:1
This BCAA mix contains 3 different types of amino acids the body cannot produce that are essential for muscles growth and development. They are L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. MAX’S BCAA 10:1:1 is pure BCAA’s. It contains no sugars, flavours, sweeteners, or other additives, just pure BCAA’s to switch on protein synthesis. 
This has worked very well for me, I take it after every workout with a flavoured drink (tastes pretty average with just water, I have it with Gatorade). It has helped to reduce my recovery time and has me ready to workout again in no time! 

-Max's NAGG 

Hard training really stresses your system, which in turn has a major affect on your Glutamine metabolism. Glutamine provides fuel for your immune system, digestive system, and most importantly it is an essential fuel for your brain. When under stress, these body systems work overtime, which can quickly deplete Glutamine stores. Simply put, the more stressed you are or the harder you train, the more Glutamine you need. If you don't add the Glutamine you need to your system your body will start to catabolise the muscles you have recently trained to get Glutamine, which is definitely not what you want! I find this always keeps me feeling 100% and stops my body getting rid or muscles I've worked so hard to gain! 

If you're looking for a supplement range that has it all, with extremely high quality products, then look no further!
