Liberian national record holder in five events. World Indoor Championships silver medalist. Six-time NCAA Division II national champion out of St. Augustine College. Eight-time Pennsylvania state champion out of Chester High School. With an accomplished resume like that, maybe it was only a matter of time before Kia Davis joined forces with Supreme Protein, which has 18 industry awards in its own right for its breakthrough Supreme Protein® bar.
"I am always interested in trying new products to help with my training,” Davis says. “In the past, I've had a hard time finding meal replacements or anything that will help me chase the hunger away.”
That is, until the North Carolina resident found a nutritionally balanced and delicious alternative to the lesser-quality supplemental protein bars she used in the past. “I was introduced to Supreme Protein®, and to my surprise it was nothing like I've ever had before,” Davis recalls. “I was impressed that I felt really good throughout my entire workout. Usually I feel a little fatigued and really have to focus on what I am doing. Of course, I couldn't wait to eat another bar, and again I was impressed!”
Supreme Protein® bars, as well as the newest addition to the Supreme Protein family, Raptor® bars, have been winning accolades industry wide as breakthrough sports nutrition supplements built for performance - perfect for elite-level competitors in every sport.
Currently, the 33-year-old Davis is readying for the 2010 Indoor Track & Field World Championships in Doha, Qatar. “My plans right now are to compete for just the indoor season, but you never know how the season is going to go,” she says. “The event that I’m training for right now is the 60-meter hurdles. Depending on if I continue throughout the outdoor season, I’ll run the 100-meter hurdles and probably some 200s.”
Davis is eight weeks into her training for the season, and doing a lot of speed work and hurdle workouts, and fueling those intense sessions with Supreme Protein® bars. “At this point in my training, I have to be explosive and powerful,” she explains. “I do my fair share of weights, I do a lot of Olympic lifts, power cleans and hang cleans, to name a few. I really like free weights.”
Her rep protocols shift as the season comes closer, from a more traditional style of four sets of 10 to 12 reps per exercise to a point where, instead of counting reps, she counts seconds, doing an exercise explosively in 12-second to 15-second bursts.
“I usually eat Supreme Protein bars after practice,” Davis says. “However, I will admit that I also eat them throughout the day. They’re really good, and they don't taste like anything I've ever had before. They really help me out after a hard workout.”
