look at what this guy has to say..i thought it was funny
ZMA is good for nice dreams dude! It's about all it's good for...the initial studies on it were basically fabricated by some supplement company..any subsequent tests on it show it has absolutely no effect on atheletes apart from a mild placebo effect...and it does give you weird dreams...i'll have to check out that ecconasia golden seal stuff..
Spinache and bannanas are great though..I remember one kid told me that his older brother (who was a baller back in the day, not so much anymore) always ate bannanas 'cos his coach (on the Irish U-15 team) told him it'd help him jumo higher...i've ate them since...hahahaha
Is there anything you use that goes beyond the normal mainstays such as whey/casein/creatine
Green tea - It has some of the same effects as the above and helps burn fat and remove bad free radicals from your body.
I know 50 year old dudes out in Japan that drink this and only this after training and are squatting 400lbs at ~160lbs...r.i.d.i.c.u.l.o.u.s. Not that i'm reccomending you to do the same...just saying.
Raw cacao - Improves your bodies fat burning ability, has a nice caffeine kick, good lipid profiles, full of antioxidants, improves circulation (will help with recovery), improves hormone profiles..tastes great with coffee if you can get used to the biterness.
Cinnamon - Tastes amazing! Slows insulin spike if eating with carbs. Has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. I definetely reccomend taking some if you have a cold.
Manuka Honey - Same as above. If you have a lingering cold/sore-throat throw a teaspoon or two of this hot water with some freshly squezzed lemon, a dash of salt and some ground cinnamon. Wash it around your mouth and down it. They also used this in World War II on battle wounds. It's been shown in tests to help wounds heal quicker, to have crazy anti-bacterial properties and to be an alround wonder food.
Fish Oil - Guessing most people take some form of fish oils in their diet...if people aren't taking Fish Oil you REALLY need to. It's proven to help compartmentalise macros. Helping to shuttle them towards muscle rather fat. The polyunsaturaetd fats act on PPAR's to improve insulin sensitivity and I know of a number of researches looking into the active molecules as possible treatments for diabetes and HIV-associated lipodystrophy. This is a must have supplement.
Has anybody any experience with mumiyo (mumie) it's something I haven't seen enough studies on and i'm really curious about..just not willing to dish out the cash unless i'm gonna know it's worth while??
I stayed till 01:44 to read this thread. This is nice info, now i really want to come on vacation to Tamarac, Florida and meet you personally. Problem is the tickets are around 1000 euros + i have to beg the consulate to give me a visa
I am barely computer literate. Thanks adarq.
Andrew when you were explaining what was wrong with some of thoe videos you could have just said - "He wasn't even trying"
Which NBA players did you work with Adarq?
