Alexandre Jolivet, Tenor of the French Crossfit

The 2017 Reebok Crossfit Games taking place in the USA in Madison, Wisconsin, it made sense to share with you a collaboration that we are as proud as happy, both on the sporting challenge and on the aspect human ; it is the one that Bourquin Nutrition has with the most fit man in France, I named Alexandre Jolivet!

Ex-military, rugby pro and pusher in bobsleigh, this concentrate of strength and explosiveness (1.74m for 92kgs) has seen the landscape before indulging in what he considers the sport most complete that he practiced. He also wants to plead in favor of the Crossfit for the bad reputation it has in terms of injuries, he who has never been as hurt as the past five years. Do not put the blame on the sport, but rather on the deficiencies of the follow-up that can be linked to it. "The lack of empathy, everyone suffers" as the poet would say.

Anyway ... having discovered the discipline by chance in a box five years ago in New York, Alexandre only needed two years to reach the first place of the French Throwdown podium, equivalent to the French championships of Crossfit.
A suprise ? Not really. Its consistent history combined with a rather monstrous training pace (2 daily sessions over 5 days) have made this success, which has since lasted an obvious result.
250kg in squat, 280 in the deadlift, the 400m in 58 seconds, the war machine of the Louvre would clearly have its place as "frenchie" in the squad of Statham and other Stallone.

Enduring pain is an integral aspect of his daily life, it is precisely on the endurance that focuses our champion, area where he wants to improve the most.

This does not prevent him from having qualified at the high mass of Crossfit quoted at the beginning of the article.
When we know that only 20% of seasoned crossfitters qualify for this event, we see that its strengths take over.

However, what for the moment is told as a success story has not always been all rosy, our warrior having even laughed yellow in the past. Having suffered from drug - induced hepatitis in 2014, Alex stopped all food supplementation for almost three years. The flip side of the coin, or the cork, that some of the big brands in the field may have made him cautious about the methods to adopt.

Used to push bobsleigh, Alexandre discovered this year a partner who could help push his limits this time. If you think of two capital letters specialized in the field of nutrition, you are in the right.
Because a training like his without a particular attention on his food would be not only incomplete, but especially impossible.
Sharing the same philosophy as us on the food aspect too, that is to say, quality and pleasure, Alexandre decided to trust us for the quality and the natural dimension of our range of complements, but also precisely, for what we are beyond what we have. Being and having and not having to be ...

Exit therefore the classic Paleolithic diet of the crossfiter. Exit also the pace of the same era for which many of its counterparts opt. Alexander likes to be clean at all levels.
Precise without being a metronome, the routine is not his cup of tea.
Because, if Alex has a frame, he likes to repaint his canvas every week according to his form, according to his desires. Epicurean, to reconcile his life of athlete and man of family is not a possibility, but a necessity.
