Strong Supplements Locker Room Talk

What do you guys to do help improve your sleep. I know there's ton of supplements, but do any of you guys have good "natural" approaches?

First, make sure you aren't taking any stims within 6 hours of sleep.

Avoid TV, the phone, and your computer within 1 hour of bed. They all stimulate the mind too much which doesn't allow your brain to calm down.

If you are watching TV or anything like that at least get some blue light blockers. I use these ones: Invalid Link Removed

You can also try doing some meditation before bed.

Great! I have read up quite a bit on trying to improve sleep.

The blue light from tv, phones, and computers makes your brain think it is still daytime so it messes with your circadian rhythm.

If you guys are interested on the subject, here is a great vid I saw a while back.

Sleep deprivation is rampant these days (especially amongst younger people). I need my 8-9 hours minimum or I’m a hot mess
 
I just work like a dog and sleep like a baby

Ive consistently been getting around 5 most days for quite a while. And its not gettin any better considering im now working full time and going to college lol i get the odd day here and there where i can manage 7-8 but it doesnt happen that often
 
I try my best to prioritize getting 8 hours of sleep, makes me much more efficient with everything that I do and I don't need breaks/naps. Makes a huge difference in mood too.

I also do higher fat in my diet as well because back when I did keto my energy levels were very consistent as opposed to the occasional crash on carbs. So far it has been good to me.

Now I am at the point that I fall asleep within 5 mins of deciding to do so and rarely wake up in the middle of the night.

I have no kids though so empathize with you guys who have to balance all that in.

I definitely agree with you on energy levels with keto but damn I love my carbs.

The Top 10 Natural Anabolics for 2018 see continued innovation and growth as new compounds continue to be identified and introduced to the market. Natural Anabolics have surged to the forefront of the industry due to impressive customer usage and the continuous formula improvements...Invalid Link Removed
 
Good looking list. It’s nice that it breaks down the different categories so people have a general idea in where they were most please. Also glad to see hydra head six on there, I don’t think it gets enough love
 
I agree on hydra. I think antaeus just doesn't market it enough.

Whenever we run a promo on it, its sells like hot cakes.

Excellent feedback on the product too.

I'll be fine. Tbh, not the type to be tryna get free stuff. I just got a lift in and doesn't seem to have an effect on the product so I'm good. Thanks tho!

The new Wild Thing purposely has a sticky texture.

Most products that have heavy amounts of pump ingredients like agmatine and glycerpump will be powdery when you get them but once exposed they quickly clump up like a rock.

From what I understand they use a sort of soft clumping technology on this that makes the texture a bit stickier but it should have no problem dissolving in water.

I actually have all three flavors at home and the look like yours so you should be good.

Of course, any issues just message our team and they will look into it for you.

As always, thanks for shopping with us Frank!

Awesome! Haven't heard a lot of them in awhile! Excited to see what they will bring to the table!!
 
We're getting close, any predictions for Olympia?

I don't care much for the main but I think Phil will take it as usual.

I am more curious about classic. Think CBum has it?

Definitely CBum is the favor for classic category, my eyes tho are on the Dutch guy Wesley Vissers - his transformation is amazing over the the last years and I truly believe we'll see more from him moving forward!Invalid Link Removed
 
I follow Cbum but haven't heard of the guys above. Looks freakin lean though!

Lack of time or lack of ability to fall asleep?
Click to expand...

Lack of time typically. With my schedule, college, kids and full time job I typically cant get to the gym until 9:30-10 and then I finish up around 11:30 at the latest get home and im asleep by 1 on a good day, up at 6-6:30 for work the next day.

I commend you. I would probably skip the one of those to catch up on sleep

Hahah I skipped the gym for about 2 years, only going once a week every couple of months due to some personal issues.

I had a check up done and some of my values were out of whack so I decided enough was enough and it was time to take care of my body again. It seems to be a lose lose for me though as lack of sleep is also bad but I feel better physically and mentally.
 
Possible to run True Shred for 12-16 weeks? Feel like the stuff really hits its stride in week 5/6 and want to keep running it lol

almost identical...bed at 12 up at 5-5:30

too many years of night shift, if I go to bed before 12 I can't fall asleep for hours

Yea exactly. In the Marines I spent several years working a terrible schedule of two days, two nights, two off. That was the worst sleep schedule I ever had. On my two day shifts I didnt fall asleep until 1 sometimes 2 and was up at 4:45am so my sleep schedule was all over. When I got out I worked retail for about 4 years, which was days and nights mixed in, although nowhere near as early wakeups so not as bad. Now I am at a job where I work days so far more consistent, albeit still only 5-5.5 hours of sleep.
