I have, through a roundabout series of events, found myself the proud new owner of a box of workout 'herbal supplement', meant to improve oxygenation of blood, reduce lactic acid buildup and help burn fat in aerobic and anaerobic workout levels. Meant to be quite good for long kite sessions, not to mention jogging and cycling etc.

Has anyone tried this sort of malarkey before? I normally wouldn't even consider such a thing but it was a gift, so I'm going to give it a try. Apparently it's got no Olympics banned substances in it and is on the whitelist.

I haven't, but I'd be interested to hear a report. My old bod can use all the help it can get so if it isn't bad for you and doesn't cost the earth I'm interested.

What is it? I'll look it up.

I wouldn't know subtlety if it hit me in the face with a bulldozer. No, this is legit, though apparently this stuff hasn't made it through Australian food and drug testing yet. Anyway, no noticeable effect in my normal fitness indicators, but my muscles are feeling a bit better than usual at the end of a session. I might have to buy a set of scales to see if this claimed fat burning is going on.



Average speed is against the left axis, average heart rate and calories per kilometre on the right axis. The days with two records stacked vertically are when I ride to work then back home (uphill) in the arvo. The top average speed back in September wasn't the work commute but a short ride with a big downhill section, today on my way to work was a new PB for that ride. That's without the magic beans, I only had them on the way home.

I will PM you what it is NightsTalker, free advertising isn't cool.

In fact, I don't think marijuana is on the Olympic whitelist anyway, I recall a story about a snowboarder having his Winter Olympics halfpipe gold medal stripped from him for testing positive to it.

Yes, so if it's performance enhancing how come you can't drive under the influence?

Anyone want to go halvies in a pizza with extra cheese?




Skipping the green scene for a mo', 500ml made up of garden variety powdered gatorade/staminade etc straight after a long sesh works a treat for me as far as muscle recovery goes. True, if I do skip the salts etc and just guzzle water then I tighten up bigtime a couple of hours later and am usually way more sore the next day.

I think it's something about attempting backside 720s to revert in your car.
