One study found that a dose of 3 mg/kg of bw of caffeine (roughly 250 mg) consumed in the morning raises neuromuscular readiness close to afternoon levels journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0033807 6. In one study, seventeen physically active men performed a five minute shuttle run test under four conditions: 1) Taking a 25 min nap beforehand 2) Taking a 35 min nap beforehand 3) Taking a 45 min nap beforehand 4) Or taking no nap www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6596336/ 7. The subjects were able to cover more distance during the shuttle run test after taking a nap, as shown in the following table: See Table 2 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6596336/ 8. A meta-analysis review of 361 studies, shows that static stretches do not reduce injury risk. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15076777/ 9. Worse yet, static stretches may even increase it. That's because they are analgesic and create cellular damage within muscle pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7453508/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8944625/ 10. For example, one study found impaired muscle growth after static stretching for 50 seconds before lifting weights. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28251401/ 11. Contrary to static stretches, dynamic ones don't impair strength, power, or muscular endurance but may even be beneficial. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18545176/ 12. Sodium Bicarbonate can help reduce PH back to normal levels within your muscles. This gives the muscle an improved ability to continue to contract and produce energy, as validated by a number of scientific studies. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18607226/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22505127/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23765347/ 13. In a study involving resistance-trained men, researchers examined the effects of consuming sodium bicarbonate 60 minutes before performing squats and bench presses to failure with 80% of their 1RM. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24126895/ 14. The result was an impressive increase in squat performance, as can be seen in the following graph: See Figure 1 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24126895/ 15. "Carnosine has been shown to play a significant role in muscle pH regulation. Carnosine is synthesized in skeletal muscle from the amino acids l-histidine and beta-alanine." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20479615/ 16. For example, interleukin 6 (IL-6) is one marker of inflammation in the body. Research shows that resting IL-6 levels negatively correlate with muscle growth, but an elevation in IL-6 post-workout aids muscle growth. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19554087/ 17. Consuming nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or high levels of antioxidants like vitamin C or vitamin E before you train could make your workouts less effective, as shown by a number of studies: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26638792/ cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.1139/apnm-2017-0866#.W302Qrgo9PZ digitalcommons.wku.edu/ijes/vol12/iss2/8/ 18.

[@alberthvargas7910]

What’s your dose

[@jayobrien4657]

You're wasting your time and baking soda. This does nothing. When baking soda hits the acidic environment (a pH around two) in your stomach, it's not going to make a single difference whatsoever to your muscles or your athletic performance.

[@mobileterminaluzer1858]

Exactly, just gonna cause internal therefore external problems to the human body.

[@TakeTheBluePill]

​@jayobrien4657 Agreed, the human body is very good at keeping blood and body pH within range. Aerobic exercise can change this quickly but unfortunately you will lower your pH not raise it as needed for weight training. That's why many pro weightlifters don't do cardio before weight training.

I’ve actually just been taking a pre-workout but not eating right before working out (usually eat around noon and workout at 4:30). I’ve been surprised that I haven’t really lost much strength or performance but I do tend to gas out a little quicker. I do typically take an hour nap a couple hours before working out which may help 🤷‍♂️

If you want to improve your body's ability to get rid of lactic acid do cardio don't eat sodium bicarbonate, the first is proved to work even in the long term, it lowers your pressure and helps your digestion, the second has been sort of proven to work only for short term performance, it contains high sodium (1 tsp contains half of the recommended dosage) so it will increase blood pressure for those who already have it high and could create digestion problems

Finally it has happened!! I got 100%. Even the antioxidant part. That was just luck though. I've started taking them before bed for some reason. Guess it was to give me less to take in the morning. I'm assuming taking caffeine tablets is good enough instead of drinking coffee. Don't like the taste. Bet the baking soda one caught a lot of peoples. If not for Jerry Branium, it would have tripped me up. This video hit things right on the head. I think it's very valuable. Aand several times you pointed out that it's a small difference. even to the amount of reps or weight. So even with thse small help, if you don't push that little bit harder, no gains.

The advice of planning workouts before going to the gym or doing workouts at home was super beneficial. I am a rookie who has just started working out and I have often. find myself unable to get into specific rhythms while doing the workouts.i use to rhink that may be my body is not used to it or I am performing it slowly my body is not responding in the way it should respond after the workouts. 😅 The place where I live has no gym for 10kms so I decided to do workouts at home itself.

Regarding the protein synthesis point, it might be correct that it gives a boost however, you have to remember that 1) protein synthesis is the lowest during exercise 2) protein synthesis is normal range before exercise 3) protein synthesis is the HIGHEST. 1 hour post exercise So remember, you want to ingest your proteins post exercise and not during As for before, I guess the research is saying it increases Post exercise protein synthesis and NOT during

[@VashtheStampede007]

It takes time to digest. But then again, you must be talking about protein powder which I never use. I prefer milk or Greek yogurt. Post work out (only) might be too late.

[@yousifmq]

@bina nocht There is some research supporting the ingestion of protein in the morning can increase hypertrophy, i think it was around 40 grams in the morning elicited a decent response

[@yousifmq]

@bina nocht i am sorry but i do not understand what you mean? do you mean disc degenration? if so,, this is not the same as muscle hypertrophy, muscle hypertrophy means when the muscle grows bigger

So maybe small portion of protein (about 15g) 45min-1hr before workout, and then a larger portion of protein (about 40g) within an hour after workout?

Here's something to try before working out. Try taking a hot shower before working out. Start with water that feels on the hot side (remember, your body is totally cold, so even warm water may feel hot!), gradually increasing the heat until your body starts to overheat. When you re reach that point, your body will warm up about 1/2 to 1 degree, warming up your core and preparing you to work out. From there you turn the water to cold (You can do this eventually if you can't take the cold water, making the water as cold as you can stand it, and working towards being able to handle it over time.), which invigorates the body, making it ready to work out.

Another reason not to take anti-inflammatories before a workout is, ibuprofen and asprin thin the blood, which can significantly hinder performance. Thinner blood = less oxygen saturation. I'm a mt biker, and started taking ibuprofen before rides when I was dealing with a sore hip years ago. I also climb up to 8 or 9000 ft elevation during my rides. Thinner blood and thinner air are a bad combo. Took me a while to figure out why I felt like I was dying on the climbs 😆

Baking soda is also great just before bed. It reduces any acid in your stomach and that healthy burrrrrrrp tells you so. You'll sleep much better. One helpful hint for the guys that want to save money. Quit buying those high dollar pre workout powders and make your own that is much better. One bottle of ice cold water into your shaker, add 5 grams of creatine and 5 grams of beta-alanine with instant coffee and a touch of cream. This way you are using high grade supplements instead of those high dollar vague "proprietary blends" or cheap additives. To switch it up, substitute powder Gatorade for the coffee, add powder caffeine along with your creatine and beta-alanine. Taurine and citrulline can also be added if you like to either of the above. All of this stuff can found on Amazon and usually on sale.

baking soda will not increase your athletic performance, changing your stomaches p.h. does not translate to any other part of your body and a body parts have different p.h. levels and lactic acid does not cause muscles to burn anyway jyst a childishly stupid concept based off an outdated myth. Where has objectivity gone?

[@elissa882]

You have no idea what your talking about. Body competition ppl have been doing this for YEARS!

YOU LOST ME AT EATING BAKING SODA ! 🤣🤣🤣🥴

[@pastoryoda2789]

yeah wtf

[@iAmFAUST]

WTF you think is in baked goods?

[@Rob_Kiara]

@@iAmFAUST you got a point but still. Nobody wants to eat baking soda by itself. It’s definitely not the same or everyone would eat it plain. 🤣🤣🤣

[@iAmFAUST]

@@Rob_Kiara True. But just to throw it out there, people brush their teeth with it too or add to toothpaste. Plus, they put it in cut coke and ingest that too 😆. I know it sounds strange, but a little wouldn't hurt. I remember how the nastiest creatine I ever had, tasted like stomach bile. It was hydrochloride creatine from eBay and it was gross. Rather taste baking soda than that. Now I use German Creatine and it kinda tastes kinda like laundry detergent, but still better than stomach bile.

5:11, about stretches, i lift barbells along with doing calisthenics and before doing anyone of those exercises i recommend doing SURYA NAMASKAR, its basically my tradition but it also provides for the overall engagement of your body muscles with exceedingly powerful dynamic movements, so if you want you could just google its steps and get it done the easy way, because i personally am a fan of traditional ways of keeping my muscle health in check, that being said try out SATTU protien powder, its basically a powdered and pulverized chickpeas which are available in markets at cheap prices, and in 2 scoops you'll get easy 22-25 grams of protein,

Having baking soda with food in your stomach interferes with digestion due to the drop in acidity.

I always work out fasted..... feel so much better.

I always do contrast procedures after a workout. On average I spend 2-3 hours in Russian banya and 10-20 minutes in a super cold (about +4°C) shower we have in our gym. Also after my workday I also go to the gym spending about 30 minutes in banya and 3-5 minutes in a cold shower before going back home, because my work is a leg and cardio workout as in of itself. I typically walk 20-40 km on a workday while climbing the 2nd floor for at least 12 times a day and climbing the 3rd floor for at least 16 times a day

Where is the comment that tells us the 9 things in conclusion

Too early

😅😅😂

[@ovidiuvirtosu105]

I used to take baking soda pre workout, the idea is great, as it reduces the acidity. The problem comes with the fact that if you also take a protein shake and other supplements , the baking soda will reduce the capability of the stomach to process the protein and the other supplements, so that you don't benefit anything from them. Still monitoring my ph levels, but never take baking soda before or after workout or before or after a meal. I just make sure that I take it a couple of hours before or after

[@RAZOR12334]

Today I would have died. I took a pre workout which had 450mg caffeine. My heart was beating so fast I thought will have a heart attack. I decided to quit pre workout forever.

[@adityayadav7511]

Give it to me then

[@bitpat7008]

I mean what did you expect, you took 450 mg of caffeine, that’s really excessive and dangerous. There’s pre-workout with less caffeine like 130-200 mg.

[@dimitris90schild92]

Caffeine is BAD

[@atxcat6873]

Same my stepdad gave me a pre workout as soenkne who dosent drink coffee my heart was about to explode i had to walk around till my beats slowed a bit but never again, I dont need it to push me harder thats what my playlist is for.

[@wiseman_4u]

Do you read recommendations? 200mg of caffeine in 1h is max, so it's definitely your fault not reading

[@411alcohol]

Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. I really appreciate you

Great video! Keep up the good work. I find my best workouts to be between 10am-1pm. I'm on an improvised 5x5 program so lifting around 90% of my One rep max for low reps. In the morning, I feel more concentrated, more naturally stoked to conquer the weight especially in the squat which recruits so much muscle, nervous system, mental fortitude, and being conscious of form as to not strain the low back or knees, groan like a lil bitch and then fart while that cute girl next to you is dead lifting 205 to failure with resistance bands around her quads all while wearing next to nothing bc well, crossfit. I do have a cup of coffee 1.5 hrs before my lift which helps knock the mud off the tires so to speak. Other days when I have to work out later in the afternoon or evening, I find myself less enthused to get under a heavy bar and squat. I'm more inclined to take a pre workout which helps. I think it's mostly that I'm less mentally concentrated later in the day. So that I'm less able to really connect with my muscles. With a longer warm up time though, once in into the workout I have no problems with concentration or proper lifting. Yet regardless of the coffee or pre workout intake. I still feel more sturdy under a load in the am workout. I feel mentally sharper, focused which helps me feel like I can lift more, with proper form. When do you all feel like you get your best work outs in, and why?

[@Mintsmaakk]

true

[@Victrola777]

Having a plan is hard at my gym because it is so busy. You just have to use the area that is open. I do like the idea of a nap though !

[@broad405]

Best way to workout is on an empty stomach

[@chrisrigas899]

I’ve always felt sluggish and had my worst lifts on an empty stomach
