Today’s briefing at Caffe Bene’s sole Singapore branch

Nice interview on regional TV network, Channelnewsasia last night- explaining the route!

Recently tested my mountaineering boot with the Turbomed FS 3000 brace on steep grass ( soon to be on snow) slopes- works well!

Customized Koflach boot with an extended Turbomed brace, Intuition liner with ‘power strap’!

Part of my training regime is supplementing with high quality whey protein shakes– the preferred one is GNC’s Pro Performance 100% whey protein .. 2 scoops and cold water produces a great vanilla smoothie with about 50 gms of protein . Typically, if training to gain muscle, you’ll need to be taking about 2 grams of protein for every kilo of bodyweight.

Happy to announce our Official Sports Nutritional partner for the expedition – GNC!  GNC has been a regular partner for several of my past expeditions including the 2012  Qinghai Virgin Peaks Expedition . Thank you ONI Global for your support. Their supports includes their excellent 100% whey protein powders, GNC multi-vitamin support, creatine monohydrate, energy gels and bars

 

Turbomed FS3000 AFO    Feb 7, 2016 : THE NEW ‘LEG’: received possibly Singapore’s first Turbomed Orthotics FS 3000 ankle foot brace. Tested it out on several staircase climbing laps on Friday and a jungle stroll yesterday. Having tried seven different AFOs since 1998, I ‘d say these are the most robust ones I have tried.Thanks to their sponsorship, I’m well on my way to devising my optimal climbing system. Happy to help anyone else with lower leg disabilities figure out the best solution for them.
Part of the journey to any expedition is the blending of the new and the old – from workouts to equipment.These past few months have seen some radical shifts in the kind of sleep systems I am used to, not to mention a new training programme for the Himalayan Traverse this Spring in Nepal!
