Brecka’s the best. A “Human biologist” oh brother!  ::)

Totally downplays TRT but hypes up everything else. Drink your hydrogen water and take your ice bathes kids!

Wait, I shouldn't lay out 100k for an infrared therapy bed?

And the best part is he is on TRT.

Not to say it's all bad = the grounding stuff seems to have some science behind it.  I think the old school hippies had it right - touch the earth, eat natural, fuck all day, keep moving, etc....

So...they have artificial sweeteners even worse than sugar.

The debate is still up on that one.

They are all scams, in that it's nothing but caffeine. The other ingredients aren't even in there, not really, they are pixie dusted so you can have it on the label.

Like I've said, caffeine is such a bad stimulant. At least you US guys can get ephedrine, a little ephedrine and a reasonable amount of caffeine, say 100mg, like a cup of coffee and it blows anything else out of the water. Don't you mofos want a smoooth stimulus with added mood lifting properties?

No I don't think they are particularly dangerous. We are old men but a couple of cashiers lectured us on energy drinks the other day, "do you know how many people have their hearts explode from this stuff!?"

Bizarre how people say shit like this without knowing wtf they're talking about.

Im sure the cashiers a pig that has spent 12 bucks on a coffee from starbucks "Venti", close to 300 mg's of caffeine, loaded with whip cream, syrup, sugar and Carmel and paired it up with an all salt and kitchen sink bagel loaded with butter and cream cheese.  All of which brought her closer to an exploding heart than any urban legend about energy drinks.

I said an energy drink is about as dangerous as coffee but they wouldn't have it. Sure some contain a bit more caffeine than coffee but 200mg is just about 2 cups of regular coffee.

The industry here has banned the sales to under 15 year olds, it's not law. But ironically they could just buy an ice coffee for the same kick. My parents had some coffee as infants already and most of the families lived very long lives. Coffee contains antioxidants too and may protect against a few diseases, so it's a health drink really. I had heart failure in hospital and they didn't restrict my coffee.

what is it that makes energy drinks so bad exactly? There are sugar free options. I know aspartame is bad but most do not have that. So is it the sucralose?

Reign is my favorite.
I quit them all not because of aspertame or anything like that but because it's bad for teeth. My dentist taught me that these drinks are too acidic to drink on a regular basis and really bad for teeth enamel. You only have one set of teeth...

Not according to Mike Arvilla. He said that he’s on his 2nd set.

I usually drink a super cold beer at the end of the workout. Spanish beer.

Sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose in the intestines. Fructose attacks the liver. You are a fucking leftist tard.

https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/abundance-of-fructose-not-good-for-the-liver-heart

Nah. How do you find sympathy for obese "diabetics" who won't take personal responsibility? Doritos in one hand and a slurpee in the other. "They're poisoning me!"

I'm willing to accept the risk of fructose in a Red Bull, but I like to live dangerously.

I'm with you here.  In moderation, I'll take little stevia or sugar water.

I did a MCT oil energy drink and it made my heart play Morse code. I guess some super race folks can’t handle MCT oil.

I don't know, while he had guru status, he'd wander in and out of lifting. I think he sorta knew he'd never be a big guy. He was also a bicycling and long distance bicycling guy, so that put a damper on things too.

More or less the best he ever looked late 70's, early 80's -

https://i.postimg.cc/Kzq3qYgZ/7-Muscle-Media-September-1996-99-page-0001.jpg .

It think he said those were #170's - #180's range.

Hi-Tech makes a knock off called Ultimate Orange and same label + packaging etc... it's actually pretty good but it just doesn't quite compare to the original.

Like Ervin Magic Johnson, Dan was too busy trying to attain the AIDS virus.
