Blackwolf Pre-Workout: Better than the Biggest Brands?

Just what we need… another pre-workout, right? Pre-Instagram, there were only a handful of options for pre-workouts, but ever since social media fitness has blown up, there are countless brands that I don’t even know. Anyone can find the individual components for most pre-workouts online and then blend them together, so why bother paying a premium for someone else’s? Well, why don’t you try making your own and then give Blackwolf a shot, and let me know what you think.

Manitoba Harvest: Hemp Yeah Protein Powder Review

Back in December, we talked about Manitoba Harvest Hemp Yeah protein bars. Now, it is time to discuss their protein powder. You might not think that protein bars and powders for shakes have a lot in common, but these two are very similar. They both have robust and earthy flavors, but present some challenging textures for many. In short, their chocolate plant protein blend is incredibly thick and with larger serving sizes, it can be messy and hard to blend under normal circumstances.

Overall, it is a high-quality product, with a rich and earthy flavor, that would be ideal for someone who isn’t on a budget and is making their shakes in a larger blender at home.

Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Yeah! (Protein Bar Review)

Oh no, here it is. Another protein bar review. Do they ever end? Truth be told, it seems like there is a never-ending supply of ready-to-eat protein snacks out there. It is hard staying on top of them all, but for us, it is important to know what exists because we’re asked for recommendations ALL THE TIME! We rarely find a product that is worthy of being coined innovative in any stretch of the imagination. When we do find innovative products, they’re not necessarily win-wins. For example, our review of Built Bar gave them credit for making a product that had a very strange texture. While we weren’t fans of it, we figured someone out there might be. Innovative? In a way. Enjoyable? Not for us. Enough of that old news though; what about Manitoba Harvest’s Hemp Yeah bar?

An effective workout routine challenges your body to keep pushing for the next milestone. Whatever goals you have for your gym sessions, it’s important to prioritize.

Why a Gym Should NOT Have Sales Staff!

Today, we released a lengthy video on YouTube, which you can watch HERE. In this video, we discussed why a gym doesn’t need a team dedicated to sales. We felt the same way before covid made a huge impact on the world, so please don’t think this was motivated simply from the economic changes in the past few months.
