BETA - 01 - MAX PUMP-Can one handle such pump? (BETA LOGGING)

New PR.

Whooooop.

120kg 1RM bench press.

Max testing Deadlifts tomorrow. Up 33lbs from old 1RM.

Strength increase on lower than maintenance kcals. I am IMPRESSED...couldn't ask for more =D

Now, just pulled my lat in a 190kg deadlift.
Went right hand underhand grip and felt a tweak in right lat. I have stopped training.

Help? Stretch?

Never did my lat deading, I have a weak spot in my upper glute lower back area from doing something stupid back in my roughneck days... Yah I was a rig pig...
 
Man I really hope just a light strain and not a sprain or anything. I never go over under anymore. I actually just use Versa Gripps and pull once I get to a wait I can't overhand grip for reps. I have just seen / heard about too many torn biceps from the over under so since I don't compete I don't worry about gripping. I know I can pull my max with over under and no wraps and that is all I need to do. I just don't do it now because I feel my development will be more balanced with a double overhand grip.
 
I'm heading to work. Ill go see physio and get some pain med. I won't be taking px black today at lunch because of the anti inflammation tablts

He is a good man and has a great chick. :)

Yeah at first control the swelling with ice then hit is with heat later to increase blood flow after the initial swelling has been remedied.
 
Thanks Chris. Means a lot to hear that.

Thanks Steve. You guys are the best. And you too DW

Hi Kelley...didn't forget you

These Versa Grips really are arm savers. Way better to use than raw grip IMHO.

I'm starting twist a bit better. Maybe its a slight pull. Hope so...the nuerofen seems to help somewhat

yes, good to hear indeed
these things are typically short-term aggravations, but can surely be extended by us guys who don't like to be put on the sidelines..rest up, let it heal and then get back to work! :)


in other news:
time to let you know what you been playing around with chris..

please continue your product run as you have been, feedback is still very important to us

thanks!
 
MAX Pump will have you healed in 2 days, it is just that good. :) Okay don't quote me on that, just hyping the product... :D
 
I'm glad its only a strain.

I knew there was Betaine and a nitrate BUT FUGGGGG, never ever suspected that 1 ingredient lol.

Well done guys.

I'm gonna try and light jog tonight and see how I go. Will keep you posted

Why it is the write up for the MAX PUMP AKA SuperSize Me pre workout. This sh!t will swell you up better than a month of McDonald's!
 
I see what you did there Chris ^^^ lol

Healthier too

Betaine Increases Squat Endurance


A study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition examined the short-term effects of betaine supplementation in college-aged males. The researchers aimed to determine the effects of betaine supplementation on endurance, power, and fatigue rate during narious types of anaerobic exercise.

There were 24 male college-aged subjects participating in the study. Half of the participants took a betaine supplement for 15 days, and the other half took a placebo for 15 days. The participants were put through a 2-day testing protocol before supplementation, at the halfway point, and during the last 2 days of supplementation. The testing protocol involved a variety of anaerobic exercises. Subjects performed a vertical jump test, a bench press "throw" power test, a set to failure of both squats and bench press using 75% of one rep maximum, and the Wingate power test.

The group consuming the betaine supplement showed a significantly greater improvement in reps to failure with 75% of one rep maximum weight of the squat at the halfway point. At both the halfway point and the end point the group consuming betaine was able to perform more reps of the squat at at least 90% of peak power. The researchers conclude from their findings:

"Two-weeks of betaine supplementation in active, college males appeared to improve muscle endurance of the squat exercise, and increase the quality of repetitions performed."

It is odd how the subjects consuming betaine showed greater improvements in the squat but not the bench press. If this study had lasted longer, perhaps the betaine group would have shown an advantage on the bench press as well, and maybe even on the other tests. The fact that any difference at all was seen during this short 15-day study definitely shows promise for betaine as an ergogenic aid.

Abstract
This investigation evaluated the effects of a nutritional supplement (the organic osmolyte betaine) in rehydration solutions, with and without carbohydrate and electrolytes. Ten male runners ((mean +/- SD) age, 20 +/- 2 years; weight, 70.6 +/- 6.8 kg; maximal aerobic power, 63.5 +/- 4.1 mL O2 x kg(-1) x min(-1)) dehydrated to -2.7% of body weight. They next rehydrated to -1.4% of body weight by consuming 1 L fluid during each of four experiments (double-blind, randomized, cross-over design): flavored, non-caloric water (W); W + 5 g x L(-1) betaine (W+B); 6% carbohydrate-electrolyte fluid (C); or C + 5 g x L(-1) betaine (C+B). Subjects then performed prolonged treadmill running (75 minutes at 65%Vo2max) plus a performance sprint to volitional exhaustion (3.1-3.8 minutes at 84%Vo2max) in an environmental chamber (31.1 degrees C, 88.0 degrees F). Only W versus W+B and C versus C+B statistical comparisons were germane to the research questions. Observations indicated that rehydration with fluids containing betaine resulted in significant differences (p < 0.05) of plasma volume, oxygen consumption, plasma lactate concentration, and thermal sensation. The present experiments did not support the use of betaine to improve sprint duration, but nonsignificant trends occurred when betaine trials were compared with non-betaine trials (mean C+B > C by 32 seconds, +16%; mean W+B > W by 38 seconds, +21%). We interpret the increases of both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism (C+B > C) to mean that further investigation of betaine as a nutritional supplement, using other types of exercise, is warranted.

Same. It is an under studied supplement.

Need more testing. This beta test can attest to the increase is Bench

interesting read!
however, that is a slightly different variation, Dimethylglycine, which can be formed after trimethylglycine (betaine nitrate) loses one of its methyl donors
still - i have long been a fan of betaine, and we appear to be just scratching the surface with this stuff
