Im semi-pro young cyclist and wanna go to the "next level"

I mean its a bit simplified,if someone has naturally a low hematocrit could be in a disadvantage, i dont know him but if its a bit wise im sure he train a lot,at least 20h at week.
Altitude tent isnt effective sometimes and another thing is that it damage for sure recovery first by hypoxia itself and then by the stress it cause(no good sleep ecc)
Sodium bicarbonate is good mostly on anaerobic efforts first it can cause gut problems when you add 120+ g of CHO/H and second you burn more carbs than fats(lower fat oxidation) and having full glicogen stores its important in a long race/stage maybe in a tt make sense or before like a last climb but should be calculated well the time of absorbtion the time of the climb ecc

I dont understand what strava is doing on the sport lol, i think its mostly for middle aged amateurs lol there is some case of some nigga recruited from some kom but are crazy rare, like vingegaard when he had the col de rates kom, hanging out with champions is not really a great advice i mean they dont actually decide much lol, for example gaffuri that he has the numbers to be a real pro for sure know many great riders but for now he isnt in any great team

Btw its obvious that big volume is known to be better if managed correctly the "new" training techniques are training with lactate heat training ecc lol
You're a curmudgeonly Cat 2 (at best) Masters rider from Europe

Im 18 if u have seen the thread u could have seen my vo2 not wanna flex but its not really cat2 lol but i mean i expected something more construnctive i like your insights on gh and other peds i was even considering to buy ur book out of curiosity lol
I say to u the next time read the entire thread at least before tryng to have beef with another user, and second why you sould want to have it? What i have written was 100% constructive nothing personal to you and i expected the same by you

At least next time read the thread better to insult in a somewhat true way lol btw i let u save sove time by telling that my vo2 is as cat2 like number of 82 lmao
Also i think its disrespectful bc of the hardwork no parties ever no drinking no shit that young dudes my age do every day but idgaf

Also have to add the last thing, my vo2 is that as natural lol
 
dont use cera rn but off season is the best, one injection per month and its working all month. loading is 30iu per kg / every other day, maintance 8-10 iu per kg every 4-5 days. works for me to keep 49,5hct and 16,5 hgb
What is your iron supplement protocol for this approach?

Thanks for this. I didn't know bicarb favoured burning carbs. Is this just by letting you do more of the body's preferred choice by buffering against the hydrogen ion biproducts or is it something more complex?

What duration of effort would you suggest as the threshold beyond which bicarb loading is not a great idea?

I heard that post Maurten making it a bit nicer (and a lot more expensive) most of the best were using it out to about 30 minute efforts in running but carb stores go a good way beyond that.

Honestly idk lol i listened that in a podcast( i think it was from the guy in the swatt club team and the guy that won the zwift academy that have a big knowledge and i always listen to them during zone 2 training)
Btw talking seriously i tbink that its the response to lactate buffering, basically when u pedal in lets say fatmax zone u burn cho and lipids and its an easy zone but u are already producing lactate ur body to keep ur blood somewhat basic let u burn more fats (carbs enacrease blood lactate and acidity) and by buffering lactate with bicarb it doeant have to do this process so u burn more carbs but im not sure tbh

Maurten bicarb is too expensive lol, i would say if someone had to do a race in the 2h range its probably beneficial to use bicarb because even if u didnt supplemented duringthe race carbs and used 100% carbs (2 things not happening but were imaging the worst case scenario) u are still finishing the race but u have to tolarate it
Btw i want a response from @Type-IIx but i legitly.want ur opinion i dont want to have beef with anyone i only want knowledge,i could miss some piece of the puzzle or didnt understood everything, i know u have knowledge so i would love to know something more!!

Not yet but on my list to source after i completed my blood sugar experiments

I was also intrigued by it..it's probably way too expensive to hit the required doses for any performance benefits. Might be better off just buying oral EPO.

5g of raws is like 90$.
They use like 2g/kg in rats.

MOTSC + Carnitine and some SLU helps me the most with endurance so far, not sure when but i will defo get some ITPP sooner or later and document it all
