Is Jaggery or honey a substitute for sugar or just a fad?

Jaggery, honey, agave are not substitutes for table sugar, especially if you are pre-diabetic or going low-carb for health reasons.

How much protein are you really getting? That is a topic that I would encourage my followers to engage . Attached in this post are some shots I took of my own breakfast pre workout and pre work day which begins at 5:00 AM IST. This is eggs slow cooked in pesto olive and cashew paste with a dash of full fat ghee just to line the pan. I am mixing it with a blended curd smoothie with Stevia Zero Cal (powder - 1 tsp) of 600 ml quantity.

At one time I was fascinated with deadlifts. All my programs had deadlifts from the floor. But now I am older and wiser(?), unless you are a powerlifter, you don’t need to deadlifts from the floor. Pin pulls, RDLs, Single leg deadlifts, high pulls are much better options. , , , , , ,

Pls read carefully what Christian Thibaudeau] writes about Pre-workout stimulants.
Posted • Christian Thibaudeau] Pre-workout stimulants are one of the worst things to hit the training market (hold on before you hire a hitman to go after me).

The problem is that people use stimulants to be able to train when they have no business training.

If you are too run down to train: you know the workout is going to be a waste because you have no juice, no drive, no energy. The smart thing to do is take the day off. Then try to find out the reason why you are this way:

*Is it improper programming?
*Not enough rest days?
*Too much training stress?
*Not enough food?
*Not enough sleep?
*Bad time of day to train?

And once you figure out what the problem is, you can fix it. This will not only help you train hard again, but keep things more effective in the future.

But if you take stimulants to give you fake energy to train instead of finding out what the issue is, you are just digging a bigger hole. The stimulant doesn't fix the lack of recovery; it temporarily mask it and the stress from that workout adds up to the residual fatigue making it even harder to recover in time for your next session.

It can become a vicious cycle.

Not to mention that stimulants themselves can contribute to systemic fatigue by over-stimulating the beta-adrenergic receptors, which can make them resistant to your own adrenaline. When that happens your strength, power, endurance, drive, motivation, goes down the drain.

I'm not saying to never use stimulating pre-workouts: they. can be useful when testing a max or competing. But every time you use them it's like taking a loan at the bank: you have more money to spend, but you have to pay it back, with interest.

And never let stimulants become a crutch for poor programming or nutrition.
Bulls*it! My friend made the 1982 Canadian National Weightlifting team and had the C&J record in the 82.5kg class working from 9 to 5 in a paper mill AND working at his gym from 6 to 10. He would train afterwards. But he adjusted his training to fit his recovery capacity.
Be smart!

RIP John Meadows. Came to know that champion bodybuilder and coach John Meadows passed away yesterday. I came across John Meadows in the early 2000s from his insane workouts with Dave Tate. In 2005, John Meadows had his large intestine removed because it ruptured as a result of a genetic condition. He almost died battling complications from the surgery. He went through about 4-5 abdominal surgeries, was in & out of hospitals for almost year. But he came roaring back to the gym. John taught me about grit and determination and through him, I learnt how to train clients recovering from abdominal surgery. John Meadows is also famous for his Meadows Row, a row done with a landmine. RIP champ, I can see the angels in heaven are going to have great back development now that you are there!
