Alex Clarke – Stubborn Wrist Injury

In the Summer of 2014 I injured my wrist catching a heavy clean. It slipped off my shoulder and bent my wrist at a very awkward angle. As a full time coach this did more than affect my training, it meant I struggled to demo even the most basic of movements. Push ups hurt, overhead…

"No more chronic knee pain” - Damien Ledger, Weightlifting Coach

There wasn't a supplement or treatment that I hadn't tried to manage my terrible knee pain.

When I first heard of GLC2000 I just thought it was another glucosamine supplement. But I'd heard some good things from people I respected so I gave it ago.

Within a couple of weeks my knees felt better than they had in years!

GLC2000 is a patented combination of 7 active ingredients, each with unique properties for joint and connective tissue health.

Combined they’re proven to increase absorption and last longer than other joint care products.

So more can reach your joint and connective tissues.

Every ingredient is pharmaceutical grade - the highest quality form available.

Because what goes into your body matters.

Every tub is batch tested & 100% quality assured

So each capsule matches the GLC2000 formula exactly.

Did you know that 81% of joint supplements tested didn’t match the ingredient amounts they claimed on the label?

Some actually had less than 10% of the active ingredients they claimed.

No wonder joint supplements get a bad wrap.

Ingredients are important, but we think not misleading your customers is more important.

A lot of research & testing has gone into creating the patented GLC2000 joint formula

When you work that hard to find something that gets results

You make sure that’s what goes into every single tub.

“Knee tendinitis left me unable to squat” Tez

“Knee tendinitis left me unable to squat” Tez Anderson - Crossfit All Out

I’d been struggling with tendinitis in my left knee for ages. I’d kept on training but it was just getting worse and worse during the session, and then would ache for the next few days.

Over time my body naturally compensated and began to cause issues with my right hip.

This started to affect more than just my training and recovery, both my knee and hip began to hurt if I even took a short trip in the car. It was painful to touch and my range of motion decreased until I couldn’t squat.

Although my training and performance was a concern, the deep ache inside my hip was a bigger worry long term. I really didn’t want to be one of those people who needed a hip replacement before they were 50!

I was being quite active in tackling my injury, resting the affected areas, doing mobility work and seeing a physio. I was frustrated with my lack of improvement.
I started using GLC2000 a few months ago and within a matter of weeks my hip felt so much better, and wasn’t long after that I was able to actually squat with some weight on my back.

This was more progress than I’d seen in the previous 6 months.

I continued to use my GLC2000 and it got to the point where neither my hip or knee would hurt during a workout, and just as importantly there were no aches or stiffness in or around any of my joints after training either.

Fast forward a few months and I’ve just completed an 8 week squat cycle. I’ve hit a lifetime pb on my front squat and equalled my pre-injury back squat pb. Something that if you said was going to happen 6 months ago I would've looked at you in disbelief.

All I can say is that GLC2000 is a fantastic product, not only has it helped me- but it helps a lot of my members at Crossfit All Out with various Crossfit related niggles including knee & elbow soreness as well problems related to shoulder mobility such as impingements.
