Back in my marathon running days I used to use a few tricks like baking
soda to increase my endurance a bit. It worked but it was rough on the
stomach. Are there any new 'inventions" on the endurance front?

I recently picked up a tub of BCAA's that had citrulline malate added.
I mix up the max serving in 3/4 gallon Poland Spring bottle along with a
20 oz. bottle of Gatorade. I start sipping just prior to, and during my
basketball games and martial arts practice.
I love the mix and really do notice a
staving off of the "hit the wall" feeling. To be more straightforward, I
feel like I can run around for hours like chicken with it's head cut
off.
Definitely above what I'd normally
get with straight Gatorade.
I'm almost out of the batch, so I have
ordered BCAA's separately from the Citrulline Malate this time.
I'm going make a guinea pig of myself to see what the biggest factor
was.
I'll try it 3 ways:
BCAA's before and during activity in
Gatorade
Citrulline Malate before and during
activity in Gatorade
Both in Gatorade
To give each a fair shake, I'll try each way
3 times. I'll give the results of the experiment here when I'm
done.
Update:
After giving each drink a fair shake for
about 2 months, I'll definitely have to say there's an advantage with
the BCAA's together with Citrulline Malate.
What do I notice?
Increased endurance. You just don't
get any burning sensation. Also, even though I pushed myself
extremely hard during some
high intensity cardio sessions, I experienced no nausea
Also, when I tried them separately, I
noticed that the BCAA's give enhanced recovery and mental clarity.
The Citrulline was more of a blocker of lactic acid burn.

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood
type?
I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs
work with high reps. Would you agree?
Do I need supplements to lose weight?
Is it possible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?
I’ve got fat located in
the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid
of it. Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve
that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?
I know I should be having
some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after
cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.
You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating
program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat
meal?
Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?
What can I do to flatten my lower abs? I've been
doing crunches and hanging leg raises for the last year, but nothing
seems to help.
