STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[macbk]

Hey all. Hoping for some feedback -

What's the consensus on FitBit? My mom asked if it would be a good Christmas gift for her to get my girlfriend. She takes spin classes 3x a week and hits the gym floor the other days. Nothing extensive. If it's worth buying, which would you recommend? I see there are a few models.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light!

I got the Fitbit charge hr. The second best one. Has actual numbers and the time. Tells me all kinds of fun ****.

The app is cool. More of a way to relativize my calories burned and what I eat. Even if it's. It hyper accurate it gives me something to work with. Nice to know heart rate and such.

Over all it's fun a gadget I use it as a clock and timer for classes I teach so it's functional just off that.

I only do variations of clean and jerks, snatches, and squats these days. I don't bench. I don't do pushups. So I don't know why it looks like my chest is getting bigger

After Workout:

2 scoops of Modern BCAA
1 Scoop of Protein Shake

why are you taking the BCAA along with the protein shake? please don't tell me it's to get to your muscles quickly and help with recovery.

 

[jon4rd]

What do BCAAs even do? Everytime i see them brought up in here everybody acts like they are useless

 

[Grine]

why are you taking the BCAA along with the protein shake? please don't tell me it's to get to your muscles quickly and help with recovery.

Yes, so it will reduce muscle fatigue.  I take it after my class wod while I am resting. I don't take the protein shake until after I complete my training as a whole.

I train for 2-3 hours in one setting. Class WOD (Strength/Condition & WOD), Oly Traning, then WOD training.

 

[stuntman mike]

just the protein shake is fine. adding the aminos is just being redundant.

http://examine.com/supplements/branched-chain-amino-acids/

BCAAs are important to ingest on a daily basis, but many protein sources, such as meat and eggs, already provide BCAAS. Supplementation is unnecessary for people with a sufficiently high protein intake (1-1.5g/kg a day or more).

I only use them during a fast, usually before a workout.

In regards to the anti-fatigue effects, it is highly plausible that this will only apply to untrained or lightly trained persons doing prolonged exercise.

taking the aminos intraworkout for those long workouts sounds feasible though.

I know it's been discussed here a few times, but can anyone recommend a good foam roller?

I got the rumble roller. Pretty agressive but it works

 

[stuntman mike]

triggerpoint grid foam roller.

 

[bigboss]

[picasso swerve]

Triggerpoint is good. I have the orange one, feels great.

 

[Mark Antony]

I live in Central VA, in the middle of Richmond and DC.

Where is RC at? Arlington??

I still haven't been to Mikes American Grill either.

Tysons and Alexandria.

 

[benzilla427]

Thanks for the quick feedback guys.

stuntman mike and picasso swerve , have either of you tried the Grid X? I was reading up on the original Grid and some people were saying it isn't firm enough so that lead me to finding the Grid X which is supposedly twice as firm.

 

[stuntman mike]

i'll check the exact model when i get home.

 

[ghenges]

What kind of deals can I expect from LA Fitness on January 1st? I need a new gym but figured I would wait until they start throwing the "Resolutioner' deals out there.
