Pls update after u tried.

Have u also attempted fewer fingers push up? Bruce Lee one was ultimate. Shaolin monk dunno 2 or 4 fingers hand stand was also crazy powerful.

Tried it just now, nothing much actually. 4 fingers first 1 rep, felt like any normal pull up just slightly more difficult. Then 3 fingers 1 rep, harder on the fingers and tendons but could feel more in the tank.
Then 2 fingers 1 rep.....could feel the index and middle finger tendons stressing out but still got gas to rep out the second rep...... slightly more stress and a wee bit of pain, stopped.

More for show / aura farming than anything else. And risk of injury coz limiting factor more on tendon strength than muscle or joint.

For the aspiring 6 stars medal collector. Some silly advices.

Kipchoge will be getting his 6th star soon. Amateur struggle to get a place into some of them.

Maybe i have missed this point multiple times earlier on, but it seems logical..... The augmentation by water inside the muscle cells is actually good for hypertrophy. Other than the other benefits which i am aware of.

Yes, creatine creates a more hypertrophic environment for muscle growth by improving performance during high-intensity exercise, which leads to greater training volume and thus greater muscle growth over time. It also increases intracellular water content, which can contribute to cell swelling and potentially stimulate protein synthesis.

For those who do not dig dry scooping creatine powder, can also try sardines. One of the highest sources out there, take about 150g of sardines daily, shd be sufficient. Unfortunately, while sardines is super good, majority of people would still find 150g of sardines a bit overwhelming. But a strategy might be to take a bit of sardines and top up the rest with say 3g of creatine powder for those with sensitive stomachs (flatulence, diarrhoea etc)

It contains around 5-10X that of chicken/pork. If you try with chicken, sure over-protein by a fair bit, ie at least 1.4kg of chicken meat. (250g of chicken meat is all that i need to hit 1.2g/kg of protein)

Sardines is a good source. There are also a few others with higher creatine, like herring, pork, beef, tuna and salmon, as per chatgpt.

Sardines is a good source. There are also a few others with higher creatine, like herring, pork, beef, tuna and salmon, as per chatgpt.

Think the AI (or rather quite a number of articles) messed up with the 100g and 1kg values.

Per 100g of the stuff
Sardines they said 3.4g to even 5g range per 100g , from several links, But got 1 source i saw is much lower, 2 grams for 453g of sardines.
So with this variability, still gotta supp. But then again, also dont know how true.
Edit again, or is it possible that the sardines is really gives 3.4 to 5g per kg?
If that is so, then sardines might be 0.34 to 0.5g per 100g. Coz now i saw1 source giving 3.5g per kg. Basket


Per 100g
Chicken 0.4g
Pork 0.7g
Beef 0,9


I used to buy the Farmland and Fairprice ones, but lately no offer, i think Farmland (Philippines) also they discontinued. Coz got DHA/EPA as well, good Mg and of coz cheap for the protein, and very very convenient to use and add on to cai png etc.
1 can of small Farmland is dry weight sardines around 95g (dry weight ie wo the zhup)
The big cans from FP and Farmland is around 250g of dry weight sardines


I digged further, from a ResearchGate article, seems like the 3 fatty fishes also not so high. Possible that it really is up to (just) 5g of Creatine per 1kg of sardines and not 100g that several links erroneously list, which is a factor of 10X

 

[WussRedXLi]

So, moral of the story, just get iherb California Gold Nutrition 1kg pack, 30.xx sgd per 1kg.
Amazon prime sales got it down to 25 for 1kg recently, free shipping with Prime (subscribe and then order and then cancel subscription, can always re-subscribe later, it'll work)

When I started out Creatine, I did check on the internet if natural source was viable to reach 5g a day, and I found out it was not. At least for typical asian diet.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Yeah....somemore > 5g (eg 10g) is recommended for the cognitive benefits.
I just use 7-8g, 10g not so easy to take daily without significant flatulence. Already splitting into 3 doses.
That's one of the main drawbacks.

Come to think of it, now need to call my father to see if he has been taking + at the correct dosage, every now and then need to confirm, coz really really elderly.......

Nothing new here, but just came across another vid......


BMD of cyclists is really an issue. Significantly lower than even sedentary people. This is so even for sports cyclists in their teens and beginning to show signs, in the vid there was a case in which the teen is officially classed as having osteopenia.

Not sure what is the root cause. But one theory is that there is (1) no eccentric loading (unlike running, skipping, gym). (2) Cycling is ultra low impact.


The problem is also that cyclists generally dont like running + strength training.

But to be fair, the general population that do not exercise (or exercise sufficiently) / strength train also not that good. Just google the local stats...all there

Wah lao, Mica training to sub 2:30 at the end of the year

But then, got chance i guess. 5k 15:32 10k 32:28 HM 71 mins.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Interesting, never tot of that before.....

 

[WussRedXLi]

Old liao better not la. Not as though train the fingers so strong will help in anything. Once injured very hard for us to recover.

Can start with wall supported hand stand. Put tilam or thick thick exercise mat in front for safety.

Some people very agile. The leg just fall in front like somersault then back on feet.

Last time I train very clumsy one. Will get stuck, don't know how to come down. End up legs slowly crawl down from wall. If not careful, then crash onto tilam.

Just tried to 3 finger push up. F man, quite painful on the finger joints, 1 rep, enough...... it's risky alright.
Not sure how last time young i could tahan a few.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Interesting

Too bad not much spare income, if not can try TRT (under medical supervision safe one la)

Wah the Jack3d sounds like Caffeine, Beta Alanine and Creatine mix with 1,3-DMAA amphetamine derived on steriods.

Oh yeah, the vid said it best. Do not train hard (eg LT2 1hr or tempo 2hrs etc) while dehydrated...the risk of a cardiac event skyrockets. Dont listen to what some others i have seen mentioning before (not in this thread or the folks here...the folks here all pros), they only drink water/bring hydration pack on their 25-30km long run. Best if properly electrolyted in isotonic concentration also

DMAA sent me to the hospital back in 2015. It wasn’t jack3d, it was another product called mesomorph, which had a similar formulation. I was driving to the gym and thought I was having a heart attack. I happened to be driving past urgent care at the time and quickly pulled in. My BP was insanely high, I was having palpitations, and it was having a stimulant induced panic attack, but luckily no heart attack. That was my last dance with DMAA. So yeah, 9/10 product, definitely works.

@GlassDoor


The last one Oxandralone = Anavar / Oxandrin (you might have heard that before in bodybuilding)

oh got long video.

For those who are interested.

Damn chio one trust me, worth a watch.

@xllms really got such things or not

To me, got eat until 5g per day good enough. If nature (food diet) doesn't give so much creatine then i think no need to force or overdo it. If really so good, govts and hospitals would have strongly recommended it.
