4 red bulls worth of caffeine??? I'm fairly sure that's insanly unhealthy. 320mg of caffeine in that alone. That's like having 4 cups of coffee in one hit!

Thats an artery clogging heart attack waiting to explode mate.

Theres nothing wrong with it, the purpose of caffeine pre-workout is stimulate the mind and cause a blood sugar spike that, mixed with the aminco acids, provide the perfect reaction for any weightlifting regime.

Caffeine is not as bad as people think and it as a lot of beneifts; its like eggs, people are scared of eggs from the 'saturated fat' rubbish of the 70's, when in all honesty the yolk of an egg is beneficial and filled with nutirients that ren't founf in many other food sources.

Anyway, Havard researches have been doing some studies on caffeine and found that men who drink 4 cups of caffeinated coffee a day, or equivelant, are half as likely to develop Parkinson's disease as those who don't; this is due to the fact that caffeine keeps dopamine molecules active. What's more, blocking adenosine may slow the buildup of amyloid-beta, a toxic brain plaque that's associated with Alzheimer's disease

I'm in greens at the min paying close to £40 per month. Thinking of switching to Ben Dun or Function Gym in Speke. Anyone go to either of those?

 

[Baines' left foot]

These protein supplements are ****ing awful.

Just get cheapo stuff off of Myprotein or Bulkpowders. About £45 for 5KG unflavoured.

Unless you're going mad for it that should do you.

Crunched my knee doing squats few days ago, it clicks now and feels stiff. Hurts lil bit but not really. What have I done gym people.

Knocked up 54km on the bike tonight. Seem pretty strong after the Italy trip.

It's madness mate. Seriously wonder how we have such little knowledge of nutrition sometimes, even though so much is just a Google away. Folks seem to literally swallow whatever marketing folks tell them.

Hope it isn't aimed at me for taking it haha! That's why I checked out every single ingredient in it. It's rare I have a full scoop. Just on no night's sleep I needed it. Only take it when I need a boost, don't take it every time wouldn't be able to hack it.

Need to sort my lunges out me. Don't know how far to go with them, felt a tightening at the top of my left hamstring when I went down with one today.

If you're checking the ingredients then great, I just hear so many folks buying supplements without a clue about how much of a particular thing they already consume, whether they can get that nutrient a better way or anything like that. Seems a bit nuts to me.

Fitness industry thrives off morons. I do Sports Science at uni so it interests me anyway, doing my dissertation next year on transdermal caffeine patches.

Then you should know not to train if you haven't had adequate sleep, it's a big no no. Training first thing in the morning will destroy your discs too, you need to leave it a full hour before you even think of touching a weight. And stop training abs, unless you're sticking with planks, side planks, and exercises off the swiss ball. Using the roller is also great, but you need to keep a stiff torso.

I trained legs today, not chest or back. Didn't do squats either which I'd usually do because they're whole body and I was obviously fatigued. I know no sleep is ridiculous but I was wide awake. I did my ab exercises based on The American Council on Exercise recommendations with the bicycle exercise being my priority. I did some planks but I don't rate them.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Sounds interesting, what do they do?

 

[harryjam]

Leg raises for lower abs, bicycle covers most of the area and some obliques too. Basic crunches, some Russian twists. And I know I probably won't see any effects because my body fat % is too high at the moment but I'll be cutting in about a month.

Bicycle, planks or The American Council on Exercise?!
