Hi, my name is Jasper Pittard and I am a 19 year old defender from the Port Adelaide Football Club.
To compete at the elite level in Australian Rules Football it is essential that you not only have a big engine to run all afternoon but you must have the ability to complete repeated sprint efforts and high speed running over 120 minutes of game time, in sometimes hot and humid conditions.
The majority of my weights program during the week is focused around increasing my strength and power through my legs and upper body and at the same time adding extra muscle mass to my body.
This is my second year at the club and I have made the senior team for the first time. Playing against much bigger and more developed older bodies has been a big transition from juniors and even a state level competition.
Our clubs nutritionist has got me on a supplement called Kre-Alkalyn and it has worked wonders for me. This Red 8 supplement not only helps my body delay the onset of fatigue, but also aids recovery time which means during the week when I am in the gym 4-5 times a week I can perform all my lifts at a high standard and in a fully recovered state.
From October to March I had a huge block of training which in return granted me a spot in our senior’s line up. I have now played 11 games for the club and I will continue to take Kre-Alkalyn as it has worked wonders.
A lot of the older players at the club tell me Kre-Alkalyn is great because unlike other creatine based supplements it doesn’t have any nasty side effects such as; headaches, nausea, bloating and cramps.
I recommend this supplement not only to AFL players but any young or old athlete wanting to train harder and for longer periods of time both in the gym and on the track.
Go Power!
