Barlean's Omega Swirl

A little while ago I had the chance to try a few products from Barlean's.  Their products are locally manufactured in Ferndale, Washington and they specialize in fish and flax oils.  One of the products I love and have decided to keep in my supplement arsenal is their Peach Mango Omega Swirl. The taste is amazing and with all the health benefits from fish and flax, it is one thing I consider a staple in my daily routine.

Training has really been going well lately, especially since work has been so hectic.  The daily routine actually helps keep me sane in many ways.  Yesterday I was able to meet up with my good friend Ty for a great chest workout and we decided to go with a little higher rep scheme, since we haven't done anything like this for a while.  I actually hit a PR with max reps on Barbell Bench with 225lbs!

Today I had a great one and here's how it went down.....

Mean Greens

Since its St Patrick's day I thought I would talk about a real green drink I incorporate in my program.  It is called Natural Berry Flavored Greens from the brand name Barleans.  I am a firm believer in getting your nutrients from various whole food sources, but this is one thing that in addition can cover your grounds.  I have tried a few different kinds of greens supplements, but this is one that by far actually tastes good and really has a slight berry flavor.  It has a great nutrient profile and I usually drink it in the morning after my first meal, or with my post workout meal.  I get mine at Fred Myers, but you can pick it up at any local Health and Supplement stores.

Today Tara and I tore up the gym.  Kept it at a quick pace and really worked up a sweat!  Here's how it went.....
