Greg Callaghan's Squeezy Story

As some of you may know, I recently got a new sponsor in the form of Squeezy Sports nutrition products. image It all began when a friend of mine, Stephen Scrivener started selling the products and gave me some samples to try out, I said I’d take them and didn’t think much of it. I’d used energy gels and drinks etc in the past with little luck so was a little sceptical of trying them out. My previous experiences with energy supplements were that they either made me feel ill when taken during excercise or just had little or no effect for the cost…. That’s why I was so impressed with the Squeezy products.

 I have a 16 minute training climb near my house that I regularly time myself up, I figured that would be a perfect chance to test the samples Steve gave me, I was also just coming off a bad flu so could use the extra help on the day. I had a pack of the jellies before I left the house, these are a slow release energy jelly so I figured they’d keep my energy high through the spin, at the bottom of the climb I popped a raspberry gel and took off like a shot. Despite being on my 180mm bike compared to my hardtail and still quite sick, I managed to better my PB up the climb which I hadn’t beaten in a few months… This had me sold! Now, it gets better, normally when I give a hard effort for this climb I am worn out for the rest of the spin and don’t do much more. I had some of the carbo load drink and managed another 3 hours around Threerock at full pace, something I can normally never do even when fully healthy. The only thing I could put this down to was the Squeezy products.

So, I got home, sent Steve a mail saying I wanted to buy some of the products from him, he said yeah no problem but then came back the next day saying he might be able to get me sorted with a sponsorship deal, he worked his magic and John from Squeezy Ireland was very helpfull and got me sorted. I was delighted with the outcome considering I was ready and fully willing to buy the products from Steve. I’ve now made it a habit to take a gel and pack of jellies with me on any spin or training ride I go on. It maked it so much more enjoyable being able to stay moving and keep fresh and alert for a flat out 3 hour spin. But it doesn’t end there, alot of Downhill racers overlook how helpfull these type of products can be to them while racing. Mt. Leinster IDMS Rd. 2 was my first race with the products so I keen to see if they would have much effect on my performance. I had some jellies and was constantly sipping on the Carbo load drink on Saturday during practice in between runs, mainly because they taste so damn nice, these gave me that edge to get a few more runs done than most and stay going for the whole day without fading or needing a rest. Sunday morning I did the same during practice and coming up to race runs I had a pack of Jellies an hour before and a gel while starting my warm up. The gel is what really got me going, I was mentally alert and eager to do my run while feeling full of energy and suddenly motivated. In the past I have suffered massively from being tired and worn out from the weekends riding when it comes to my race run, which made me feel really good when I felt so energetic and eager to get down the hill, usually it’s an effort for me to do a good warm up or get going from the start of the run.

But it wasn’t just a placebo like some may think, it definitely gave me the extra edge I needed. I managed to get my first win in 2 years, and a considerable margin of 7 seconds on a sub 2 minute track. So, my first race using Squeezy products and I managed to bag a big win for the first time in 2 years, coincidence? I think not! I cannot speak highly enough of these products, they’re easy on the stomach, taste great and work better than anything I have ever used or heard of.

There is a massive range of products to suit everyones needs so check them out on: Squeezy performancey OR Contact Stephen Scrivener on Facebook if your located in Leinster or Squeezy Ireland to find out where you can get your hands on some of this turbo juice. They have more than proved themself and the advantages of using these products to me with these results, but why listen to me? Buy your own and give them a try, you won’t regret it.
