All supplements I take currently
Morning
1st thing L- Theanine 200mg with Coffee for cognitive benefits amzn.to/3ZnT57f
*I pretty much always take a pill of theanine with coffee to offset any jitters or crash and more focus.
With breakfast-
-2g of creatine monohydrate amzn.to/3sU8ZKb
-Thorne Vitamin B complex - amzn.to/48gFIJU.
-Thorne Iron supplement 25mg amzn.to/3EOyn6W *I take every other day, due to some blood work showing slight possible iron deficiency
-Omega 3 - (3 pills = 1200mg EPA) amzn.to/456rit4 I try to get 1-2 grams of EPA per day.
-Vitamin D - 125mcg amzn.to/3roLtVo
L Arginine- 1000mg amzn.to/3PN2sdm ( i hear you shouldnt take this with BPC-157)
**Some days, if i feel very depleted and been training hard, and haven't eaten a lot of nutritious food, I will take mega mens sport multivitamin and skip the B- complex at breakfast, and take the B-complex in the afternoon. amzn.to/3PjNXMw
Post workout
-2 scoops whey protein isolate ( and some carbs from food as well) anywhere between. 30g-100g of carbs depending on how hard my session was, and if I am training again that day.
L Citrulline - 3 grams amzn.to/3PMzt9x
-5g of creatine monohydrate amzn.to/3sU8ZKb (only reason i take in two different doses is because more than 5g at once upsets my stomach.

Before Bed:
-ZMA - amzn.to/46lmtgx
-Omega 3 - ( pills = 800mg EPA) amzn.to/456rit4 I try to get 1-2 grams of EPA per day.

When Rich Froning said he doesn’t do steroids and that he didn’t even see how it would help that gave your answer. They absolutely do. CrossFit originally in the beginning was telling women don’t worry about lifting heavy because you won’t look like a guy unless you’re on roids. Well now that so many women in CrossFit look like dudes they answered their own question.

Yeah I’m with you 100%. Very faulty logic on Rich and CrossFit’s part at that time

A went to Manchester to watch a friend in the Rainhill trials, I was blown away by the physiques of the women and they weren’t at the same level as your tia toomeys etc , I asked if there was a chance some would be on steroids, 100% yes he said and they’d just got lucky not to be tested , it’s a brilliant sport to watch but there’s no honesty amongst the athletes regarding ped’s

My opinion human nature dictates that if crossfit doesn't rigorously test then most if not all of the athletes are using. especially with money involved.

Yeah, I mean, it would be hard not to logically make that assumption right. I agree that would be probable.

@@FuelFitnessCo I went to a CrossFit gym for about nine years. Steroids would be an immense help. Not only would they help with strength and endurance, but the decreased recovery time would be huge. You are correct that steroids alone won't make you a champion, but I don't see how someone not on steroids could compete against those that are. The edge is just too big.

@Thrive910 7 ай бұрын

Froning could win a body building competition so…. Yes. But I think the more telling signs is the top women. The human body is not capable naturally of recovering from that type of load and volume multiple times a day for week, months and years on end. However, just because you take drugs doesn’t mean you will be the best. So if everyone is doing it then it comes down to genetic potential, work ethic and mindset.

@FuelFitnessCo 7 ай бұрын

💯 agree. On that note, Another common misconception people have is that if they do drugs they would be the best, or people who do drugs don’t work as hard. Both misconceptions are sooo far from the truth.

It's rampant in the sport, but I still love watching them. They're all still incredibly fit, skilled and gifted athletes. The people getting popped are 1) getting their timing wrong 2) taking the wrong PEDs 3) don't have the affiliation with the right clinics. Take a look back at how far ahead BALCO was of the IOC, NFL, MLB etc back in the 90's. There's without question labs around today that are doing the same thing BALCO did. Unfortunately, without a saved blood sample from the top CrossFit athletes, they can't go back and test them once they identify what these new designer PEDs are.

@@FuelFitnessCo Thanks. I think a lot of us are in the same boat where we sincerely enjoy participating in and watching CrossFit competition but just wish HQ, the elite athletes and coaches would be forthcoming about the degree of PEDs being used at the elite levels of the sport. Much of their audience, to some degree, are athletes that all have an understanding of the limitations of performance and recovery. Protein powders and hard work isn’t all that’s in the magic formula.

@FuelFitnessCo 7 ай бұрын

So are you saying you think they are all on PEDS? Look I’ve seen some real freaks, some people I’m 99.9% sure aren’t taking anything and could recover from ridiculous amounts of volume. I mean heck, even when I was 28-30 years old I could handle an insane amount of volume and I would be foolish to think I am genetically in the top. I think even if I would have taken all the PEDs possible I still wouldn’t have made it to the games. Idk, I still believe some of these guys and girls are clean. Maybe Im foolish, but I’ve just seen too many generic freaks to say that every single one of them are on something

@YairvanEer 7 ай бұрын

@@FuelFitnessCo I agree that you have genetic freaks out there. However at elite levels of competition it is a different story. Specially when money is on the line. And if athletes are not really tested at the moment then it is hard to say for sure. But the faster you can recover the harder you can push training.

@brockharrison5541 7 ай бұрын

@@FuelFitnessCo Yes they are ALL on steroids, all of them who compete are on steroids. The thing about steroids is that most people don't know how to use it and when to use it. An average joe like you who doesn't know how roids work properly might use it and you don't see any results but lets you are guided by Lance Armstrong doctor and he will know how to hack your body and make the cycle work specifically for you.

@royxrp1510 3 ай бұрын

It's practically impossible for a natural to train and compete in high level crossfit. The body is just not capable of recovering from the volume and load in that matter. I always thought crossfitters had more moral then bb's. I dont know why, it just felt that way cause their less egotistical with their body's. Unfortunately, ofcourse I've been proven otherwise. These guys are all juiced to the gils.

Yeah I really have thought about doing a PED regimen and comparing my progress at 37 years old to what I could do natty at 28-30. If I can hit PRs and progress quickly at 37 on the juice, it would honestly give me a lot of insight to the topic. The only downfall is that I couldn’t compete ever again if did make great progress. Most folks say if you’re smart about it, you can retain quite a bit of your gains after coming off of PEDs or at least achieve a higher baseline than you had full natty.

Check out Andrew Hiller videos on this topic. He has several crossfit Natty or Not and others that are worth watching. I get what you are saying and you definitely are not presenting anything false with the sport of crossfit. The "benefit" of steroid use and performance enhanced drugs is more relative to the individual and the sport they are participating. I think it would be hard to convince the majority that, "There is literally not a sport on the planet that is better for steroids & performance enhancing drugs. There is not a sport on the planet that you would benefit from that...the use of those drugs more than the sport of crossfit." You even mention at the end MLB; NFL; Cycling; Track & Field; etc. Benefits here are insane. Billions of dollars being thrown around. Just take MLB. Individuals making hundreds of millions because of it. Hundreds of thousands filling stadiums to watch 450 foot bombs or 105 mph fastballs. Tens of Millions tuning into TV networks. Fame and Fortune is pretty high on the list of benefits for most people that use.

Lol I remember Rich Froning answering the question in one of his documentaries..."I don't know that steroids would help in crossfit, would they?" LMFAO the sport of bigger stronger faster. There is no sport on the planet that invites roid use as much as crossfit (bodybuilding isn't a sport, it's a lifestyle activity)

Gymnastics Olympiad athletes, they are huge, do they also take things?

@j.a.6866 Ай бұрын

But WHAT do they take? I doubt it’s the body building style roids, right?? Probably just peptides?

@FuelFitnessCo Ай бұрын

Great question! I have been studying this pretty hard and trying to figure this out. I think there are certain drugs one can take early on that can set someone’s physiology up pretty strong for CrossFit. Then later on there are some things they could take while “in season” to benefit them during that time as well. I am going to do a video on this, but yes, peptides would definitely be beneficial. Some anabolics and sarms would certainly have there place as well. To name a few of each that I think they may take: BPC 157 and TB500 for recovery and joints/tendons. CJC/ ipa for Growth hormone. Actual growth hormone would be highly beneficial for joints, and recovery. GW50156 aka cardarine for endurance SR 9009 for endurance ITPP (i think that’s the name) Ostarine for tendon health and recovery/ volume tolerance, keeping muscle during high volume training Rad140 or LGD for strength Also, Testosterone obviously Anavar or primobolin for recovery/strength EPO Injectable ATP Stimulants

Maybe.... MAYBE! They do a 3/4 month cycle and then return to the axis and remain clean for the rest of the year until the semifinals... whoever qualifies is controlled. Who faithfully believes that everyone uses it, does not know the effects on the heart... it is also a muscle and also grows... in addition, it does not help in cardio, very heavy athletes have no chance of beating the best balanced ones. Muscles grow due to variations of exercises and techniques... gymnastics, weight lifting, sprint training (crazy!) THAT makes your muscles grow A LOT, if you take little things... you will be a monster but one than ever being a Top 10 crossfit athlete... .

Yeah I’m with you I personally don’t care if they use. I don’t judge that. In a perfect world, i think I would want there to be an “enhanced” division and a “natty” division. That being said, it’s not a perfect world, and unfortunately folks would go into the natty division and cheat
