Performance Effects Of Using Baking Soda?

“Why Would You Even Consider Using Baking Soda Before Your Next Gruelling Workout?”

Does baking soda help delay muscle fatigue and improves performance?

Some days you aren’t feeling like you are up for the challenge in front of you.

You’re tired and sore, exhausted, beaten down, and all done.

The challenge and battle for freedom is just not in you…

You feel like it’s time to move on.

And try something else.

Admit defeat and back down.

But that’s just your fear of failure talking.

In truth, you’re much more powerful than you think you are…

Want an effective, fun, inexpensive way to get better results?

Want to increase the amount of time to exhaustion…

Increase power and strength output…

How about increasing endurance during your body weight workouts.

Dear Happy User Of Baking Soda…

Simply use 3 teaspoons of baking soda

Add to 4 to 8 ounces of water and presto.

Take it 30 minutes prior to your workout.

You see, good ole’ baking soda works like magic.

Yes! It is a lactic acid buffer in the body.

Part of circulatory system used for transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide from the body.

You may already know of Beta Alanine which is in many supplements.

Does Beta Alanine buffer lactic acid as well?

However, only works in muscle tissue.

Beta-alanine is known as 3-aminopropanoic acid.

Non-essential amino acids can be made by your body.

That means they don’t have to be provided by food.

Beta-alanine is used to improve athletic performance and exercise capacity.

And building lean muscle mass whilst improving physical performance.

How does beta-alanine work?

Most of Beta-alanine works on boosting synthesis of an intramuscular dipeptide.

There are two amino acids called carnosine.

To function effectively…

Muscle cells rely on powerful intracellular buffer carnosine to avoid becoming acidic (low pH) during exercise.

On the other hand, baking soda works throughout your entire body…

How much does baking soda cost compared to supplements?

It’s pretty darn inexpensive right?

In fact, I’ve been using baking soda for decades as performance enhancer.

There are reports of 12% to 28% increases in muscular endurance as a result.

And delayed onset of fatigue.

Also increases cerebral blood flow…

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is blood supply to brain in a given period of time.

In an adult, CBF is typically 750 millilitres per minute.

That’s about 15% of cardiac output.

This is 50 to 54 millilitres of blood per 100 grams of brain tissue per minute.

Bear in mind effects change when dose is changed…

So the effects are dose-dependent.

Still the benefits of baking soda are truly amazing.

And it don’t stop there…

Ever heard of cellular respiration, it is energy for life…

Baking soda has shown to increase mitochondrial respiration.

Mitochondrial respiration is electron transport chain which is final step in cellular respiration.

It uses electron carrier molecules NADH and FADH2 created during the Krebs cycle.

This process occurs along inner membrane of your mitochondria…

This is good news especially during longer sessions of exercise.

It might be a result because of increases in mitochondrial builder protein PGC-1a.

Simply add 3 teaspoons of baking soda to 4 to 6 ounces of water 30 minutes before exercise…

You might want to test 2 teaspoons of lemon juice with apple cider vinegar for more benefits.

Got any peak performance strategies of your own?

Baking soda can safely be used as part of longer term peak performance strategy to conquer your workouts.

If you’re involved in vigorous exercise…

Try using baking soda to help delay muscle fatigue and improve performance.

Use This Chin-Up Variation to SHRED Your Six-Pack Abs…

“The Chin-Up Is King For Back Exercise But Here’s A Highly Effective Abdominal Exercise As Well…”

So, of course, I’ve decided to take that aspect of the chin-up to the next level by adding weight…

In this case, you’ll be performing a chin-up with knees and hips bent 90 degrees…

The bar cradled in the “bend” of your hips to add resistance to the abdominal aspect of the exercise.

You’ll need to be strong enough to perform weighted chin-ups with at least 50 to 60 pounds or more in order to use this one…

It will put AMAZING tension on the Rectus Abdominis (six-pack ab muscles) as you’re performing the exercise.

There is some minor loading on hip flexors although not as much as you might think…

The setup requires a power rack with a chin-up bar attachment (the easiest way to go).

If you don’t have that, you can also set another bar on the J hooks or on top of rack itself to get setup right.

And if you still don’t have any of the above, you can potentially have a partner set bar in position for you.

Set safety rails in power-rack to about mid-section height (although this may vary according to height of rack).

You’ll need to play with settings to get the best setup for YOU.

Grip the bar for chins.

Now do a knee raise and “catch”/cradle the bar right in the bend of the hips.

The height of rails has to be maintain your hips bent at 90 degrees at catch point.

This is in order for the bar to stay in place and not roll forward.

For me, I found catching it about 1/4 of the way up into the movement was ideal.

You can try catching it higher or lower to see you find works best.

Now, with the extra loading, continue the chin-up all the way to the top…

Keep your hips and knees bent to keep the bar cradled.

When doing this one, I prefer to cross my feet over.

I find it locks in my core better and I get a better pull…

And it’s not wrong to keep feet freely moving or pressed together as well.

As long as you maintain the hip and knee bend.

The moment you pick up the bar in your hips…

You will notice a MASSIVE jump in tension in your six-pack abs!

It is a very intense exercise and even if you’re strong with chins.

It’ll be a challenge even to get more than just a few reps.

This is an excellent exercise for the back, in addition to the abs.

I would recommend you perform it early in your back workout.

Do this abdominal exercise while everything is relatively fresh and strong…

So you’re able to maximize the number of reps you get.

Aim for 2-3 sets of as many reps as you can handle.
