Gatorade..............its great!

[easy]

somebody knowledgable confirm or dispell my boxing myth of this pedialyte business!?

Don't know if this helps but here's my .02. When my daughter was about 3 months old she caught a rotovirus that had her vometing and shitting every 5-10 minutes. It was real bad. We stocked up on Pedailite to keep her from dehidrating. Luckly, she really liked it so the mass quantities of this stuff she consumed kept her out of the hospital. Anyway, after it was cleared up we had about 6 bottles left over. I used to drink it to rehidrate (since I witnessed it work on my daughter) and can attest that its good stuff. I wouldn't use it on a regular bases though as it's pricey.

RE: vomiting
I usually use my gade at half strength, it seems to stay down a LOT better and with less of a feeling in my mouth afterwards.

I started using gatorade during workouts right after my last cycle. I wish I would have started long before. It makes a significant difference for me in strength, endurance, and intensity. I also do this with 100mg r-ala (Glucorell brand) pre-workout. Pumps and vascularity are awesome.

I keep a variety of flavors in powder form, and use them to add simple carbs to my post workout shakes as well. All-the-Whey vanilla with lemon-lime or orange taste awesome together.

I give props to Ulter. I finally started it after listening to him preach it.

As a matter of fact, karma coming.

Come on guys, get real. Gatorade is garbage. Of course it gives you energy. IT'S SUGAR!

Years ago athletes would eat a candy bar for energy and today we laugh at that. So what's the difference?

Sure, it's a great way to add calories and orange gatorade on a hot summer day hits the spot like nothing else. But having too high a level of a simple sugar present in the bloodstream inhibits GH secretion -- not what you want during a workout.

you people are such marketing suckers

they got you hook, line, and sinker...

sad, really...

Influence of weight training exercise and modification of hormonal response on skeletal muscle growth.

Tarpenning K M, Wiswell R A, Hawkins S A, Marcell T J.

Department of Exercise Sciences, Uniersity of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.

To investigate the influence of carbohydrate (CHO) consumption on the acute hormonal response, and chronic adaptation to weight lifting exercise, two studies were conducted. Following a four-hour fast, seven young men (21.3 +/- 3.5 y) performed (on two occasions) a nine-station weight lifting protocol, completing 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 75% of 1RM (series 1). Randomly assigned, one session included the ingestion of a non-caloric placebo, and the other, a 6% CHO solution. For series 2, two groups of young men (21.3 +/- 1.5 y) participated in 12 weeks of progressive resistance weight training. Training for one group included the ingestion of a non-caloric placebo, and the other, a 6% CHO solution. In series 1, weight lifting exercise with CHO ingestion significantly (p < 0.05) elevated blood glucose and plasma insulin levels above baseline, as well as that occurring with the placebo. This resulted in a significant blunting of the cortisol response (7% with CHO compared to 99% with placebo). These findings indicate that CHO consumption during weight lifting exercise can modify the acute hormonal response to exercise. With series 2, CHO consumption continued to blunt the cortisol response to exercise during the twelve weeks of training. This is in contrast to significantly elevated cortisol levels observed for the placebo control group. Corresponding with the modified response patterns were differences in muscle growth. Weight training exercise with CHO ingestion resulted in significantly greater gains in both type I (19.1%) and type II (22.5%) muscle fibre area than weight training exercise alone. The difference in the cortisol response accounted for 74% of the variance (r = 0.8579, p = 0.006) of change in type I muscle fibre area, and 52.3% of the variance (r = 0.7231, p = 0.043) of change in type II muscle fibre area. These findings suggest that the modification of the cortisol response associated with CHO ingestion can positively impact the skeletal muscle hypertrophic adaptation to weigh training.

Ulter and I have been doing this for years now....

For those who don't know who Mr Nobody is, he's a 6'5" 310lb powerlifter/bodybuilder who has been training in Europe and the US for almost 20 years. His lifts would dwarf just about anyone here and he and I have both found that training is greatly enhanced by Gatorade, and Glucorell R.
And now you know the science of why.

Nelson you're always in opposition to the cocensus of most people. Were you always the squeaky wheel expecting the grease?

I'll admit you have some informative posts based on facts and conceivable theories, but some of your statements are totally off the wall in regards to clomid, cardio, and HCG(of all things to try to disprove). Get real bro.

HCG has been used by many athletes with great results, to initially restore normal endocrine function, and has worked time and time again, regardless of dose, duration and type of AAS used.
I also know quite a few endocronologists,urologists,andrologists who all know it to be very efficacious and have been using it for years with very good results followed by you guessed it...clomid.

I'm running off on a tangent here. However as far as gatorade being garbage, that's a bold statement to be making.

I guess you could make a similar preperation on your own, but the fact remains it is supportive in athletics because of the propper mixture of glucose-fructose as well as the ingredients used to restore electrolytes, there is also sunflower oil added in to control the release of glucose in order to avoid rapid insulin spikes. Gatorade is a muti-million dollar product. You think they haven't put in their dues towards R+D. Then there 's the possibility of other beneficial ingredients in their products, that are not listed, due to competetive reasons.

I think comparing Gade to a candy bar is like comparing pro-hormones to quality AAS.

BTW..GH secretion peaks 30-40 minutes after exercise, that is why it is reccomended to wait until the GH peaks before you slam down your PW shake, to avoid compromising your GH spike with a robust insulin spike, and I think insulin spikes will be miniscule when using R-ALA which is how this post originated.

I don't make my conclusions on issues from a couple of opinions, or a couple of journal abstracts. I use a compilation of periodicals, feedback from many experienced athletes and of course my own personal experience before I can draw definitive conclusions.

6% CHO solution? why not make your own and stop wasting money on gatorade... why the fuck do you think that shit is so aggressively marketed? they are not spending any money on R&D as someone else mentioned, it is all marketing... bottom line, gatorade is a SOFT DRINK with slightly less sugar!

I prefer powerade because of the lower sodium.
