Stan Efferding (IFBB pro, World Record Powerlifter, and Inventor of the Kooler) advocates for increasing sodium intake to enhance performance. He did a seminar recently with Mark Bell where he suggested adding sodium to a post workout shake, I'm not sure how much though.
Stan goes so far as to say sodium intake can have a greater impact on performance than creatine. It can increase glycogen storage in muscle cells, improve blood flow, and increase uptake of carbs in a post workout shake.
Has anybody tried this? What source would you use for sodium?
