Solo episode with Brian going through everything you need to know about Carb Loading.
*on minute 3:50 – I meant to say 200g of rice, not 100g of rice for the example.
How many carbs do I need to carb load? When should I start my carb load? Simple sugars or complex carbs? Is fruit good for carb loading the day before a game or will the sugar cause energy spikes? Healthiest type of bread to carb load with? Will eating too many carbs stop me getting a six pack or increase fat?GAA Lean Body Program:

As a dedicated GAA player, you know that every aspect of your physical condition plays a crucial role in your performance on the pitch. One common issue that many athletes encounter is tight hip flexors. These muscles, responsible for flexing the hip joint and aiding in explosive movements, can often become tight and restrict your range of motion. Fear not, though, as there are effective steps you can take to alleviate this problem and improve your game. In this podcast, we will delve into effective stretches, glute-strengthening exercises, consistency, and additional insights to help you transform your performance.
1. Stretching for Freedom:
Regular stretching is a key component in combating tight hip flexors. Here are a few stretches to incorporate into your routine:
a) Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch: Kneel on one knee while keeping your opposite foot flat on the ground. Push your hips forward, maintaining a straight back, until you feel a gentle stretch in the front hip. Hold for 30 seconds on each side.
b) Pigeon Pose: Begin in a plank position, then bring one leg forward and rest the ankle on the opposite thigh. Slowly lower your hips towards the ground and feel the stretch in your hips. Hold for 30 seconds on each side.
c) Cobra Stretch: Lie on your stomach and place your hands under your shoulders. Push upwards, straightening your arms while arching your back, to stretch your hip flexors. Hold for 30 seconds.
2. Strengthen Your Glutes:
While addressing tight hip flexors is important, it is equally crucial to work on strengthening your glute muscles. Weak glutes can contribute to the tightness in your hip flexors. Incorporate these gym exercises into your routine to enhance glute strength:
a) Squats: With feet shoulder-width apart, descend into a squat position, keeping your back straight and weight in your heels. Engage your glutes as you return to the starting position. Aim for 3 sets of 10-12 reps.
b) Hip Thrusts: Lie flat on your back with knees bent and feet hip-width apart, and rest your upper back on a bench or elevated surface. Drive your hips upwards, squeezing your glutes at the top and lowering yourself back down. Perform 3 sets of 10-12 reps.
c) Lunges: Step forward with one foot, lowering your body until both knees reach a 90-degree angle. Push off the floor with your front foot, actively engaging your glutes. Repeat with the other leg. Aim for 3 sets of 10-12 reps on each leg.
3. Consistency is Key:
To truly make progress and overcome tight hip flexors, consistency is vital. Incorporate stretching and glute-strengthening exercises into your regular training routine. Aim for at least three sessions per week, dedicating time to both stretching and strengthening. Over time, your efforts will pay off, and improvements in range of motion and performance will become evident.
4. Additional Tips:
a) Warm-up and cool down properly before and after each training session or game to prevent further tightness or injury.
b) Engaging in activities like swimming or cycling can help provide a break from the repetitive movements of GAA, aiding in overall flexibility.
c) Focus on maintaining good posture throughout the day, as poor posture can contribute to tight hip flexors.
Conclusion:
Conquering tight hip flexors can lead to substantial improvements in your GAA performance. With a combination of consistent stretching, glute-strengthening exercises, and an overall focus on flexibility, you will unlock greater range of motion, explosiveness, and agility on the pitch. So, embrace these exercises, commit to your routine, and watch as your game reaches new heights. Remember, progress is not achieved overnight, but through dedication and persistency – let your hip flexors never hold you back again!Sign Up To My GAA Lean Body Program
