Make ALL your reps look like this ….

Grow Szn . More food coming this week. I predict things.

I don't know many things about the world, but I do know this:.When I go to the gym, my life gets better.

Something I have always placed value in is how can I take concepts / terminology that people might not know / understand and put it into terms they can easily understand. Working in IT for 20 years it was necessary. I couldn’t do the job my colleagues do as in broker and.

Folks. Before you put anything in your body you should have a REALLY good idea of the good and particularly the BAD things that can happen. Blindly putting things in and multiples of you have no idea what went wrong, when it went wrong or how to fix it. Be mindful.

Final points to consider:. • Individual tolerance varies; start low, log response, and adjust. • Third party tested products reduce contamination risk (NSF Certified for Sport, USP, etc). • Supplements should complement, not replace, consistent nutrition, training, and.

Build a simple, evidence aligned pre workout (example). • 1 strong coffee (adjust to your caffeine target by body weight). • 6 to 8 g citrulline malate 30 to 60 minutes pre if you like the pump / volume support. • Daily beta alanine (split doses totaling 4 to 6 g;.

Should you take a pre workout every session?. Short answer: No. Use it when it adds value. • Habitual daily use, especially of high caffeine products, can build tolerance and reduce the noticeable effect; strategic breaks help reset sensitivity. • You can rotate: full stim.

How much is too much overall?. • Stimulant stacking (coffee + energy drink + pre workout) can push you well beyond evidence based caffeine ranges and past what most health agencies consider prudent daily intake. Track your total. • Supplement label miss dosing is common;.

BCAAs & “everything else”. Branched chain aminos (leucine, isoleucine, valine) are common in pre workouts but current evidence does not strongly support them for pre session energy, strength, or endurance when total protein intake is adequate. Many tubs include long ingredient.

Electrolytes .(hydration & muscle function support). • What they do: Sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride regulate fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle contraction; losses with sweat can affect performance, cramping, and how you feel in training. • When to.

Taurine .(cell volume, potential endurance/recovery support; evidence mixed). • What it does: Amino acid involved in osmoregulation, calcium handling, and antioxidant actions; studied in aerobic and anaerobic performance with mixed, limited findings; may help recovery markers in.

Betaine (trimethylglycine; cell hydration & possible performance). • What it does: Acts as a methyl donor and osmolyte; some studies report improvements in strength, power, and body composition during resistance training cycles. Evidence base is smaller than creatine or beta.

Creatine Monohydrate.(strength, power, recovery, hydration support). • What it does: Increases muscle phosphocreatine stores, supporting short burst power, strength gains, training adaptations, and may aid recovery, cognition under fatigue, and cellular hydration. •.

Beta Alanine .(high intensity endurance buffer). • What it does: Raises muscle carnosine which buffers acid during hard efforts, helping you hold output a bit longer in efforts roughly 1 to 4 minutes (intervals, metcons, repeated sets). Tingles on skin (paresthesia) are common.

Citrulline Malate .(pump & possible volume support). • What it does: Converts to arginine, supports nitric oxide production and blood flow; marketed for “pump,” possible endurance of sets, and reduced soreness. Evidence is mixed: some studies show modest increases in reps or.

A Pre Workout is a multi ingredient supplement taken ~30 minutes before training that aims to increase energy, focus, strength, endurance, pump, or all of the above. Common inclusions: caffeine, beta alanine, amino acids, electrolytes, creatine, citrulline, tyrosine, taurine,.

Saw a gent using some equipment yesterday which if he slipped off the platform would have snapped his leg in two - lifting against gravity with no safety. I waited for him to finish and said I hate to be that guy but I need to tell you how unsafe it is. The way the machine is.

The rubber padding has fallen off one end of this 20kg dumbbell in the gym. Intriguingly, the metal underneath is engraved with what looks like the number 25. I’ve been trying to work out what it might refer to but I’m so far drawing a blank.

You almost did it. You almost made it. You almost became something great. But no one remembers the 'almosts. No one tells stories about the ones who had potential but never followed through. That's what should scare you the most. Being the person who could have, should have, but.
