You can't say 'Hognuts' without with the word (or should that be onomatopoeia) 'Ho' - as in 'Ho, Ho, Ho!' - and Christmas just ain't Christmas without a Hognuts Christmas Pudding blend!!Was ever and thus in the Mix - right from our earliest beginnings! - and, despite things being decidedly (and obviously disappointingly!) quiet on the Hognuts front over the last 6 months, there was NO way we were going to go a year without this sweetly-spiced, sensational, seasonal signature blend!!! No way

Who's ready for a Quest-y (S)MASH-up?!Yep, better late than never, the new weird (and very wonderful!) sandwich-style Peanut Butter Brownie Smash Quest Nutrition bar has made it to the UK and into the Mix!This new 'Smash' style bar takes some of the very best OG Quest old-school classics and gives them a very new-school twist!!Part Choc Chip Cookie Dough (our all-time bestselling bar...Quest or otherwise!), part Peanut Butter Supreme (Quest's none-more-peanutty offering), part fudgy Choc Brownie

Warming up seems to be a bit of a hot topic at the moment, from stretching to foam rolling and all sorts of weird warm-up exercises, personally?... I don’t do any of that!Don’t get me wrong, it may help, but honestly, I’ve never noticed much of a difference from the long drawn out fancy warm-ups. Below is how I get ready for a session, I may also do some warm-up sets on the first exercise to get a feel, but this is where I get most of the work in. It’s a quick and great way to get the blood pump

What's this? A giant, new cookie from Messrs Lenny & Larry on a weekend?!! AND following hot on the heels of the latest SinFit Protein Cookie (Pumpkin Spice, for those who missed it!)? Surely enough to bring out the cookie monster in us all! That in mind, say hello, my fellow monsters, to White Chocolaty Razzberry!!!Lenny & Larry's is a brand that hardly needs any introduction...and especially not in the Mix! As far back as we can remember, the distinctive, chunky, sweet and generous coo

To this day Darth Maul is still by far my favourite villain from all the Star Wars films, despite having roughly 3 lines in the film.His entire look, from the horns, black caped outfit, crazy acrobatic moves and the awesome double lightsaber just scream badass baddie! What’s more, you know he means business, no messing around, no moaning or getting angry, he’s calm, cool and collected, knows what his goal is and does what needs to be done. He doesn’t sit there crying about it or complaining (li

Horrorshows, bonfires & fireworks aside, this time of year it's colder, darker and drearier...never makes things easy or particularly fun! And we haven't QUITE got license to get mega excited Christmas just yet. :(Fortunate, then, that we're not *quite* done with the more autumnal, Halloween-y treats and, indeed, we may just have saved the best until last!! A little later than hoped but...Sinister Labs SinFit Pumpkin Spice Cookies are here!!After the insanely good Snickerdoodle cookie

...by the beard of Zeus, what have we here?! The shiny, new and utterly out of this world Superior Protein by Olympus Labs has INVADED the Mix!!We've got to start this by addressing the 'Trojan Horse' in the room...WHAT is going on with this branding?! Before we even get into the wonders lurking inside these tubs, it's got to be said that Olympus Labs have quite possibly the most distinctive and, well, MAD packaging we've ever seen; imagine 300 crossed with Star Trek by way of Tron and you're ab

In the anime, "One-Punch Man", Satima (the main protagonist), has a very 'happy go lucky' attitude and despite not really caring, is ridiculously strong and over-powered, hence the name of the show...all it ever takes is one punch to destroy the baddy.His self-proclaimed disciple is constantly trying to work out how his master is so strong, even after Satima himself tells him the secret, which is just a very simple strength training program (with the added spark of some intensity!). His apprenti
