ad
This is interesting for me Gentlemen, Im on a cut right now and Im losing strength and endurance in my muscles however hard I try to keep it at least 70+% performance.
Some things I have noted for me
I mix a protein carb powder and blend it, just 3 scoops protein 3 scoops ground oatmeal bought online, works for me and since I started Ive either had great workouts post or im sore I sleep a bunch to recover have one the night before and right before I workout makes a huge difference.
Number 2: I drink strong loose leaf green tea, great for energy.
Also I found sleeping the absolute king of muscle building, and cardio helps get that deep sleep for me.
Let me know if you guys have any good hacks to add to better routines for intense workouts

30 gramm instant rice Pudding with some peanut butter, cup of coffee and 5g creatine and 5mg taladafil half hour pre workout - is what I do. Checked my blood sugar before that breakfast, 1 min before workout and short after. Turned out I burned just that ammount blood sugar that breakfast gave me in a 45 min intense workout. After that blood sugar is same as bevore breakfast
Full meal 2-3 hours beforehand with lots of protein and fat, veggies/moderate carbs-- 30 minutes before gym, Cream of Rice or Oatmeal or Cereal,---If you want even quicker energy, >maltodextrin with protein-- and of course L Citrulline DL MALATE 2:1 and L Arginine AAKG. The L Citrulline is taken earlier in the day, the AAKG 30 mins-1 hour before gym. This stuff will make you feel like you are on gear even without any gear. Thank me later kiddos. -- please take magnesium/potassium and other minerals though so you don't cramp like hell because the stuff will make you feel boundless energy.
I'll have caffeine with it sometimes if i feel inclined.. but never really needed caffeine.
Theres also times where I used low dose tadalafil which helps with lowering blood pressure, especially in the lungs, allowing for more oxygen to reach the blood. more blood oxygen = more energy.. plus tadalafil relaxes muscles and helps bloodflow
300mg Caffeine
I know it sounds obvious but water. Drink tons of it. Being dehydrated kills your energy that's why a lot of pre workouts have electrolytes in them. Try to get a gallon in before you hit the gym.
There’s a mass gainer I love the taste of but I use it basically as a pre/Intra/post carb drink. Just because it has so many carbs in it. I think a full serving is like 330 carbs. But i have it broken up to about 50 carbs per scoop, plus I think 10 grams of protein per scoop. So I basically sip on 150 grams of carbs starting about 45 mins before my workout and sip it through workout and finish it as my workout finishes. For a lot of guys it would bloat them to much and it would hinder the workout but I’ve gotten used to it and it’s great fuel for me.
I always do 70 grams cream of rice mix in a scoop of protein powder with 23 grams HONEY & sea salt
OR
5 rice cakes drizzled with honey & sea salt 1 scoop protein powder
Yeah that honey is a real energy booster.
LiquidIV or something similar twice a day…. I drink about half a gallon and a serving in the morning and half a gallon and serving intraworkout.
Also, for whatever reason it is and as much as I hate it… cardio gives me a euphoric high post workout.
Oatmeal for sure, white rice, uncrustable peanut butter sandwiches.. the mental thought of lifting heavy weights gets me flinching and twitching!!
Try a teaspoon of Himalayan salt and a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate two to four hours before your workout and thank me later.
Interesting, thank you
Honestly, I might get shit for this but depending how early I train, if I go on an empty stomach that’s enough for me to have high energy. Also knowing I can reload with a heavy meal post workout gives me plenty of inspiration.
Thing is with me I reduce my calories and do high rep sets, my body within the week knows and just stops responding well
Some days you can alternate intake to refuel like 2 on 1 off.
That's my goto as well. Get up at 330am hit the gym before my regular work day.
I think about my dad not being there then it all comes together.
Im sorry brother
