putting these in queue, the strawberry flavor was hitting definitely, have the lemonade right now which is cool but probably not going to reup on that flavor

it’s been a minute since i did some high box jumps, good times…pulled 585 on the trapbar, i put the straps on but surprisingly didn’t need them

tried these things before. they felt odd to be honest. not sure if it's psychological but I prefer or revert back to the conventional plates.

BCAA's themselves are kinda a rip. Unless you're doing long, fasted workouts and are cutting so you can't just up your whey/casein/pea/whatever intake...

I'd stick clear of Amazon, their prices have been stupid since covid.

Look at M&S. Better prices, free shipping on a lot of orders, and sometimes they'll throw in free products.

As for actual products, I use Scivation Xtend and MT AminoBuild together with some other stuff. Sh*t is delicious. I don't gym without it, unless I'm TDY.

+ 1 BCAA's by themselves being a rip

Most protein powders have 2-3'gs of BCAA's in them already....

I'd suggest finding a product that you already supplement that adds BCAA's in it

for example...

I take glutamine, so I found a company that sells glutamine powder + BCAA's mixed in.

so essentially I get to take out 2 birds with one stone at cost for just the glutamine.

i only take bcaa for recovery
i don't take any protein powder or anything else,
just wanna get ridda soreness

Then buy a foam roller and/or Theragun.

 

[Liquid Swords]

Or just toughen up and muscle thru it
I’m old af, recovery time takes much longer.
Stretch, warm up, warm down, whatever it takes but I’m getting my workouts in no matter what

If that's the case, you leaving alot of gains on the table and not optimizing the work you already putting in

If you taking BCAA's u might as well gon take creatine while you at it, also great for recovery.

to each their own doe.

if you’re perpetually sore you may want to examine your regimen in terms of appropriate & proper movement, frequency (could be you are doing too much too often/or too infrequently), and how you warm up & cool down after your activity

If that's the case, you leaving alot of gains on the table and not optimizing the work you already putting in

If you taking BCAA's u might as well gon take creatine while you at it, also great for recovery.

not necessarily, depending on the amount of protein in one’s diet bcaa’s can be a good/useful supplement, assuming the protein intake is on the lower end…

I take Sacred Breatine, protons/mass gainer, EAAs, BSeeAAs, fish oil, type II collagen, multis, turmeric, and ashwagandha daily, and sometimes I take HMB too, on dead supps.

I bypass stretching before and usually after and am basically never sore, sometimes just tight.

To each their own though.

why do you take the ashwagandha daily? what's hmb?

 

[Tank Top Master]

why do you take the ashwagandha daily?

Because I don't cycle supps in or out; I'm either keeping it in the stack and riding with it or bushing it altogether. I either get the effect constantly or I go without it altogether. (HMB is the only exception because I'm not constantly overreaching to the point where I need it.)


Is it safe to take it daily on an indefinite basis? It may be, it may not be.

what's hmb?

HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine. It may lead to gains in size, strength and power, prevent muscle wasting and possibly speed up recovery. The science is still out on what it can do and to what effect, so

.

Sometimes I buy it, sometimes I press my own pills.

 

[ahat]

Which one of you is this

for me, it started with cold swims during the winter because of two young girls as my motivation.

[sneeker]

it's not what you think.

 

[deusavertat]

Considering doubling up on training the next 2 days. My guess is after my first class of the week I'll be reminded swiftly that I'm old.

cant forget something you never knew.....

Interested in HMB tho, not familiar with it.
