Here you will find some of the exercises and drills that I do both in the off-season, as well as during the regular season as part of my training and preparation. While I can't reveal all of my secrets, I'll certainly shed some light on what has become one of the most notorious workouts in the league.
Look in this section for:
My philosophy both on and off the field has always been to regard my body as a temple. I've never introduced toxins like alcohol or drugs into it, and don't even drink soda or energy drinks. About halfway through my career I was able to implement the diet that I have posted here and grow to feel the difference in my performance while on it vs while off of it. My training regiment has always been extremely taxing and I've searched for supplements that completely safe and effective to aid my body's recovery as well as building it up without coming in danger of taking something banned or unsafe. I'm not an athlete who would ever take anything banned as I believe it insults the game itself. However, as most of you know the danger of taking something banned without even knowing - is quite real. And naturally if I'm not willing to consume any alcohol because of it's detrimental effects physically...steroids, ephedrine, and any other potentially dangerous performance enhancers are completely out of the question. It's a difficult thing as an athlete to discern what is good and accurate information from what is junk regarding supplements. So many people from so many different angles will try to sell you on what is good for you, it's important that you come to your own conclusions.
In the offseason of 2010 I was introduced to Rival-us supplement line while training at Athletes Nation in St. Albert, AB. I was initially impressed that the CEO of the company Darren Burke, PhD. Was a high level athlete himself, turned professor and research scientist that was actually testing these products on humans as opposed to rodents. Since trying the Promasil protein, I don't see myself looking any further for supplements than Rival-us. The amount of high caliber athletes that are sponsored by Rival-us aside from myself is impressive enough in it's own right, but I still encourage anybody who is looking for their own answers regarding supplements to go to www.rival-us.net and log onto the athlete blog, or Ask Dr. Burke your questions directly.
Some of the Rival-us products that I currently use are listed below.

ANABOLIC PRESCRIPTION is the most powerful stack ever created. It is the ultimate combination of the two most powerful hormone support supplements available on the market today: ENPULSE and HELIX-24. Our team of leading scientists tested the combination of ENPULSE and HELIX-24 and found INCREDIBLE increases in anabolic hormone levels, gene expression, and muscle growth. These changes were more than the significant gains noted when taking ENPULSE or HELIX-24 alone and can only be attributed to the synergistic effect of these unique formulae on human hormone and muscle gene physiology.
