[Story] Baking soda is legit performance enhancer?

[Munificent]

And.... ?

First off, why are you so triggered by my comment buddy boy?

Second, there have also been some counter-studies that didn't find any significant diefferences between supposed effects of sodium bicarbonate and a placebo effect. 

My point is, if it was nearly even 80% confimed to make a big impact, wouldn't doctors of sports medicine be recommending this to practically everyone that steps foot in a gym?

C'mon, use your brain dipshit...

Can’t brand and sell baking soda bro

im triggered because you managed to make one of the stupidest posts in bookism forum history. i hate this sort of ignorant closemindedness


"doctors of sport medicine" do recommend it to professional athletes; as i've already said, there are many olympic athletes, professional cyclists, horse racers, runners etc. who already use it. and as ive also already said, there are HUNDREDS of studies showing that there sodium bicarbonate produced a significant improvement in performance

do i 100% believe it can have an significant impact on gym performance? no, or else i wouldnt ask others to try it to see if it makes a difference. but what i hate is little ignorant twerps trying to pooh-pooh an idea because it seems novel

[Honest]

tomorrow i will ingest a larger amount 50 minutes before the workout

By the way I read this on another article:

For single-dose supplementation protocols, 0.2 g/kg of sodium bicarbonate seems to be the minimum dose required to experience improvements in exercise performance. The optimal dose of sodium bicarbonate dose for ergogenic effects seems to be 0.3 g/kg. Higher doses (e.g., 0.4 or 0.5 g/kg) may not be required in single-dose supplementation protocols, because they do not provide additional benefits (compared with 0.3 g/kg) and are associated with a higher incidence and severity of adverse side-effects.

For an 80kg individual that would mean 0.3 * 80 =24 g or ~5 tsp of sodium bicarbonate.

Which means I need to try this again hmm.

EDIT - more:

A study by Ferreira et al. [38] compared the effects of consuming 0.1 g/kg vs. 0.3 g/kg of sodium bicarbonate on performance in a cycling test to exhaustion. Time to fatigue was improved only following the ingestion of 0.3 g/kg (76 ± 4 s cycling). The dose of 0.1 g/kg was not ergogenic, and the average performance value with this dose was very similar to the placebo condition (65 ± 8 s and 68 ± 5 s, respectively).

Similar findings were reported in another study [99] that compared the effects of consuming 0.1 vs. 0.2 g/kg of sodium bicarbonate on repeated cycling in 12 moderately trained females. Time to exhaustion increased following the ingestion of 0.2 g/kg (162.4 ± 107.3 s), compared with 0.1 g/kg (133.9 ± 83.3 s) and a placebo (129.4 ± 104.0 s).

There were no significant differences between the lower dose of sodium bicarbonate and placebo. Another study used doses of 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 g/kg [55]. While the dose of 0.1 g/kg was not found to be ergogenic, there was also a general absence of improvements in performance (4 × 2-min cycling sprints) following sodium bicarbonate ingestion at any dose. Still, it is unclear whether the doses or some other element of the study protocol led to the absence of significant effects.

well I told my grandmother Im planning to use all the baking soda as pre-workout and she wasn't happy so I'll have to postpone today's test

that's right bitch, back down

i'll be banging out pullup reps today with my alkaline blood while you can only watch n mire

[Honest]

took 14g of baking soda and waited 50 mins before pullup set.

proceeded to hit 20 reps of fat gripz pullups. new pr: improved pullups by 6 reps in past couple weeks (context: been doing pullups every week for past year). 

improved bench by 1 rep since last week (did same weight to test if improvement)

best placebo ive ever had.
