Beta alanine
-
Was listening to the Joe Rogan podcast with CrossFit legend Matt Fraser. He swears by beta alanine as a pre workout. Anyone tried it before?

@rancid-schnitzel its in a lot of pre-workout. Gives you the tingles aka the spiders lol. Combined with caffeine its pretty much the 'stim' part of many formulas. Then add in creatine etc plus all the other shit.
Man, before it was regulated there were some gnarly pre-workouts around. Pretty much low key speed 😁 damn effective!!

This sounds pretty good. If I take it, do I absolutely have to do the workout afterwards, or is that part optional?

Yep used to be some amazing stuff around especially the MDMA variants but it was basically party pills and heavily unregulated. Things have certainly changed.
And no it’s not just for workouts. There are formulas now for gaming etc which enhance focus and reaction times etc.

That stuff is pretty low grade but if its first time using then will prob be reasonably impactful. It's quite balanced in that it includes a little bit of everything but probably not quite enough of any of it.
For example - recommended dose of BA is about 3grams (this stuff has 1.2 per serve) and creatine is at least 5g (also has just 1.2) so you would need excessive servings to get the benefit. But excessive servings wouldn't be good as it has 250mg of caffeine per serving and unless you are super tolerant of coffee etc, you prob dont want to go too much in excess of that.

@jk we still rock C4 as the best combo of stim + creatine etc. I pretty much use it for the boost rather than recovery or as part of taking enough creatine to help with bulking. But when you are short on sleep and energy a couple of scoops will light the fire for you lol.
Man, there was this 'thermo' fat burner stuff... I think it was called Dynamite? a blue bottle. But that was just like E... or so I've heard. The ol wild west of unregulated products was fun but absolutely ridiculous.

Definitely felt some lift off before boot camp this morning! It’s good stuff but I can see how it could wear off. When I’m done with this I’ll get something a little more potent. I have a decent local health shop but I’m reluctant to go on there after I started buying my protein online. Had a good rapport with the owner and feel bad. But when you’re saving 10 bucks a bag and have your choice of flavours what can you do!

Yeah that was V2 of Detonate. Current version is rubbish!
I remember having a couple of the old version and then an arvo on the beers. Ended up running in to the wife early evening and she actually thought I was on crack!

Cool. Will check it out 👍

what is the stuff lifters inhale prior to a lift?
-
@taniwharugby that's ammonia/smelling salts. Just to really wake you the fuck up lol. I haven't tried it but a couple of my fav youtube fitness folks use it a lot. More often powerlifters and strongmen. Ya know, guys just like us
-
@paekakboyz yeah I was down at a clients gym earlier watching Colm Woulfe dead >400kg and he was using it before his heavier lifts.
