I dont understand what you need.

Every one is different - your body responds individually and tastes vary immensly from one individual to another. Do your own research - decide what you want to accomplish (protien for muscles, recovery, energy shot, slow release energy, etc) and then find the products that are intended to achieve that. Start testing them out for flavour, texture and effectiveness on your body. Only you can decide what's best for you.

I'd take HGH if I were you, though don't rule out enriched blood transfusions.

I have a hard time grasping what exactly it is you're asking...

Take EPO if you're so concerned. You'll have more time with the family once you're banned.

Stay hydrated, eat brown rice and lentils after a long work out, eat carbs the night before a race or long workout.


And tangentially related, I find it slightly disconcerting that while High5 nicely labels everything as being free from banned substances, Hammer never mentions anything remotely of the sort in all its literature.

Then again I'm technically supposed to be shilling for High5....

Yeah. Drink your 4:1 on long rides for better performance and recovery! (tastes fairly good anyhow)

Dont worry treefox, I am not out to get you, just relaxing after a 2 hour spin, so I am just sittin on the forum killing time before I go to sleep. Seems I have to respond to everything you say...haha;)

Anywho, you should be eating somewhat more carbs for a few days before, not just the night before. Here is a good article about it. The paragraph that talks about it is about one page down.

It's all good. Pro-lite even makes EPO TT bars (http://www.fleetcycles.com.au/Online-Store/Product.aspx?CategoryID=25&ProductID=48)!

For an extra $400, they can also be set up to transdermally add testosterone to your blood stream though the forearm pads.

no....it is kinda. Kinda like how the bigest cycling race in North America is sponsored by a company that makes performance enhancing drugs......

Ha ha; yeah, that is pretty good.

Or the flip side is that they make a drug with legitimate medicinal purposes, and athletes abuse it to enhance their performance.

I use eLoad and any basic gue pack.

The eLoad is the best working sport drink formal by far for me. I tried a lot of different types and this is the best and cleanest for me. Give it a try here’e the link - http://www.medioncorp.com/hm/eload/inside.php?sid=50&id=111

Morten, as a general rule of thumb (what a silly expression! but that's English for you) you should be eating some carbohydrates and protein (3:1 ratio: eg chocolate milk or some people like to drink a protein shake) within 20 minutes after every workout to efficiently replace the glycogen into your hard-worked muscles (that's when they are most able to take in the glucose to regenerate the glycogen). Then have a proper meal (the less refined the food the better - eat lots of fresh fruit and veges for maximal uptake of vitamins and minerals) within 2 hours of the exercise. If you eat well, don't drink a lot of alcohol, and get lots of rest/sleep that is the best thing you can do for your body's ability to adapt to the stresses you are putting on it, and to prevent depressing your immune system, which is what happens when you train with either big volume or hard workouts. Most of the repair of your muscles and tissues occurs when your body sleeps....release of Growth hormone etc. Thus increasing sleep/rest is req'd with increasing workload.
