[sarms1] gw-50 [log]

[dylangemelli]

Results of Sunday's ride.

average speed 16.2 (much closer to mid-off season base training not where I am now--where the ave speed should be 14 +/-

Average HR 79% of max (which includes a 15 mile climb--closer to prime season shape--not fat lard ass out of shape)

SpO2 was 99-100% every time i checked (usually 97-99)

BP 1/5 hour after finishing 112/71 (more akin to prime season)

Food--PB& J before; 1 Atomic Tab and a 2nd at @2.5 hours (after the hill); 10 mg of GW-50 before; 3 electrolyte replacement pills; water and 1 6 oz. coke (yes, even the pros use it as it is better than the most expensive electrolyte drinks)

Next day--legs NOT dead as they should have been. (not the test b/c I have run test while training already) so must be better cellular transport of crap out of my system.

Conclusion. body worked as if well into training routine and 30 lbs lighter--I stayed at in the middle of the mid-pack except on the hill I was at the from (which I never am)--no other supps

i was anticipating your updated! nice work bro! i am really happy to see the progress you are making and the rapid pace you are making it!

Nice feedback, thanks. What was the total distance of that ride?

Can you tell me how Atomic Tabs help cyclists? I am interested!

Also, have you thought about adding Aicar to the GW for an ever better endurance boost?

Yeah I def felt my cardio levels were better in my hike in the mountains yesterday. We'll see how tonight's workout goes.

i take half a dose before my workouts and i feel it that very workout. i take the other dose in the morning.

Very nice update. Your numbers really helps put into perspective the power of GW. We really appreciate the attention to detail

thanks--the thing is the jump of only a few % points may not seem impressive--man, having monitored this for years those small increments are actually only achieved by extreme anaerobic training at lactic acid threshold over many many months---here it comes in a bottle allowing the an achievable bar to be raised much higher

 

[cyclinfool]

16mph avg with a group?? This seems low. I've done a couple cx races and hard group rides while on GW and notice a slight increase in aerobic capability but my legs tire out quicker. It could be at this point in the season my legs cant keep pace with my lungs.

Damn that's crazy.. Exactly the reason it's banned. The shit works

you are leaving out some salient facts:
(1) 1st ride back since injury in 1.5 years--this was a ride to gauge condition--HR did not exceed about 83% of max at any time--pretty much pegged at 75ish.

(2) average speed includes about 20 miles of climbing for a total of 5900 feet gain in 58 miles (downhill speeds limited because the condition of the road after the 10,000 floods in September)

(3) finishing altitude of the 15 mile climb was 9700 feet

(4) I am 47

(5) average speed on the flats was 21-22

(6) this was a November ride--not May so no one was trying to peak[

(7) I was a solid Cat 2 rider in 2012 (from 2011 numbers)the just requested a downgrade to Cat 3
