Last semester I did a little research on a supplement for a short class paper. I did the write up on a hyrational supplement called H2O Overdrive. This is the quality info on the product that I got out of the research. See what you think!
Staying hydrated during exercise is a major focus for athletes, especially those who train in hot climates. Science has shown us that in order to stay hydrated you need 1) water and 2) electrolytes, the most important being potassium, sodium, and magnesium. The electrolytes simply allow your body to use the water you put into your system, by transporting water molecules into your dehydrated cells. Those who are looking to get the most out of their sports drink will expect much more in their bottle than water and electrolytes though. Things such as vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, and maybe even a little kick of caffeine would be expected. There’s only one drink that I've found that has it all.
H2O Overdrive used extensive scientific research in order to deliver the 3:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio, essential vitamins, minerals(electrolytes), amino acids and other vital nutrients in order to hydrate down to your cells. Their unique blend of these elements supports glycogen resynthesis (fast acting energy source), energy production, muscle function and stamina, and protein synthesis. This energy sports drink helps athletes’ prepare and recover from tough training sessions and workouts. Terry Giles, Co-Founder and the Developer of H2O Overdrive said this about the science behind their product, “H2O Overdrive did not simply use “new science”, most of the research and science has been around for years, we applied that knowledge along with some more recent studies related to protein and hydration and developed the breakthrough formula of H2O Overdrive and then found a way to get it all into one convenient 20 oz bottle.”
What up Ballers.
I'm sure all of you out there want this season to be your best one yet. I'm on that some boat, and am pleased so far with my efforts. Based on my previous post, you know that my focus for this season started over the winter in the gym. I hope most of you did the same, because that added strength will definitely benefit you on your coming season. I feel stronger and more relaxed on the water than ever, and I 100% attribute that to my strength gains. I'm not skiing better because I'm "muscling" my way through my passes, I'm able to trust my strength and relax my arms to lock into a strong aligned position. By not fighting every move I make, I'm able to stay light on the line. This allows me to swing way faster buoy to buoy and control my movements.
It's been a while since my last post. I intended on having this up early February…I'm a little off! Between my last semester of University starting up, and an amazing snow ski trip to Vail, CO, I got a little bit behind. In this post I am going to let you know what gear I intend on using in the coming season. With most of my focus being on my Nautique 200 boat and my Elite slalom ski. I love ripping with both of these products. Take a peak at why I think Nautique and Elite products are so great.
After taking about 2 months off the water, my itch to ski got overwhelming and I had to get out and indulge. I've been doing most of my skiing in Clermont, on John's Lake with my Dad (Jeff) at the wheel of my Nautique 200. Nautique has made the highest quality boat for years. This quality was what changed my family from Malibu to Nautique as our boat of choice at McClintock's Ski School in Ontario. Fortunately my sister and I landed a sponsorship with them a few years after we started skiing behind Nautique. Since the Nautique 200 came out a new benchmark for water ski boats
has been set. The 200 puts out the smallest and softest slalom wake by far. There is no impact through the wakes, allowing for a smooth edge transition out to the buoys. You get the same strong and stable tow from the 200 as you did from the 196 in the past. The trick gate allows you to go from that perfect slalom wake to nice trick wake instantly. This boat isn't only amazing to ski behind, but it's also the best boat out there for the driver! You hardly feel the skier behind you through the course, and as far as I'm concerned it's the easiest boat to drive that perfect slalom path.
This time of the year is a time we all need to take advantage of to better ourselves and best prepare for the upcoming season.
The off-season is a great time to rest and allow your body to recover from the beating you've given it all summer. Considering water skiing is a summer sport, our off season is over the cooler winter months. When you live in a climate that is pretty warm year around like Florida, you really need to structure in a off-season. It can be tempting to ski through the winter. However, even though you can, it doesn't mean its the best decision. I always plan on taking a good two months off over the winter. This doesn't mean do nothing all winter and dread the pain of those first few sets back! The off-season is the perfect time to redirect your focus. This is when you need to get in the gym and beat your body up in a different way. Strengthening and balancing out our body's muscles. Us skiers get all jammed up! These imbalances can cause significant muscle pain. I recommend getting on a good, structured program with a trainer in order to get the most out of your winter training.
This is my first post, so I'll start by giving you some insight on who I am and what you can expect from my future posts. My name is Jason McClintock. I'm on the Canadian National Team, and have been skiing at the pro level since 2008. In 2007 I had a jump crash that shattered my patella and dislocated my subtalar joint (ankle.) I have since been feeling stronger and less affected by the injuries with each passing year. I feel my skiing over the past 3 years has been sub-par and I plan on making 2011 different by focusing on consistency and the World Championships in Russia.
I switched to Elite O'Brien at the beginning of last season. It was a risky change but I felt major potential from the Elite right away. Throughout my summer of trial and error I learned a lot about what I need from a ski as well as fin adjustments. A side of the sport I was 100% ignorant to. Through it all, I found my 65.5" Elite is the ski I feel most solid on. To end my season, I was in Chile for the Pan Am Championships, where I had my first big win since my injury. I brought home a gold slalom medal, and a gold trick medal. Now done with my season, I mounted the new Elite boots on my ski and am antsy to get back on the water. This set up not only looks sick, but performs on the water as well.
