We're delighted to announce that we now have a rare and unique piece of equipment installed at the Ministry - the Monolift.  Read the story of this exciting addition to our Gym equipment here.
 
27 March 2008
 
We are currently trialling our own "Ministry of Muscle Complete Protein Drink".  It is presently exclusive to drink only at the Gym, although there are plans to move forward and sell it by the tub.  It contains 30g of protein, 10g of carbs, 5g of creatine, 10g of glutamine and also ingredients to assist with digestion and absorbtion.  This unique drink provides not only protein and carbs but also includes glutamine and creatine all mixed in one which ensures you get ALL the required nutrients together, and is very convenient as it negates the need to use three or four different products.  The drink is currently only available by the glass exclusively at the Gym.
 
26 March 2008
 
As of 13 April the Gym will be open every Sunday from 10:00am until 4:00pm.  This is also an ideal opportunity for all strongman beginners and novices to come down and try out our equipment with an experienced athlete on hand to advise and give guidance.  Use of the strongman equipment is entirely at your own risk

Not being one to rest on his laurels, Jay Hughes next competed at London's Strongest Man. Here he again stamped his authority over the competition and won the event to take the London's Strongest Man title.  The Gym has an excellent group of lads now all interested in strongman and as a result Rob Hooper came third in the Novice competition.  There were over 20 competitors overall so it was a fantastic result for both boys.
