Abdominals are done every day along with 2 session’s cardio; I follow a high volume training regime around twenty sets per body part. Reps range between 8 and 20 I never do the exact same workout twice

Variety is the spice of life!

One of my favourite USN supplements is the Pure Protein IGF-1 – nothing else touches this low carb engineered protein shake which helps to build extra lean muscle and is an essential for muscle repair and growth. It tastes great too – particularly the chocolate one. And if you want a real treat, mix chopped nuts with the pistachio flavour shake and put it in the freezer - it comes out tasting like ice-cream!

I also use the Whey Protein immediately after training. It’s the quickest absorbent and drives protein straight into the body and into the muscular cells.

Every day my protein intake is 1.5gm per lb of lean body weight and in season, I take 380 gms per day.

Then there is BCAA - the Branched-Chain amino acids which I take before and after training. These are fantastic at reducing muscle breakdown and ensuring instant muscle recovery. They increase lean muscle mass and help me improve on performance levels.

I also take the L-Glutamine in powder form during training which really helps with rapid muscle recovery.

A particular favourite is the 19 Anabol Testo – maximum strength testosterone inducers which provide that extra drive to increase my muscle mass and strength. They also enable increased protein synthesis and fat loss.

The importance of supplements in bodybuilding cannot be underestimated. They are essential for building muscle mass, reducing body fat, improving performance and providing the right nutrients for the repairing process between training sessions.

It was 2003 when Dave started competing in bodybuilding and in 2004 he won his first regional NABBA titles! The following year he won the NABBA UK title and continued his success at national level, clinching the Mr Britain title this year – CLASS 1 & Overall Winner.
