Olympic lifters/Crossfit workout and diet thread

Sorry for the long post. I only do oly lifts and squats, pulls, presses etc. I weigh about 105 kg. I want to lose some fat and slowly move down to 94 kg. I usually lift 4 times a week. Generally the first 1/2 of my workouts feel great and then I drag ass for the second half (usually around 2.5 hours per workout).

Can anyone recommend a pre-workout supplement that will help me keep me lifting strong for the full 2.5 hours?

I should mention that I basically only take creatine and protein powder and eat whole foods. I try to eat some carbs 1.5 hours before I workout and then some faster carbs after I'm done (both with protein). I don't want to screw up my fat burning.

Any advice would be welcome.

This sounds like my training sessions. I'm training to compete in olympic weightlifting and 2+ hour training sessions is pretty common, but there is a lot of sitting around. Just make sure you're eating a lot during the day. I try to have a meal about 90 minutes before I work out. I'll put some bcaa's in my water bottle and might have a protein bar during the workout.

Are you referring to Masters' snatch and C&J (Nationals)?
 
More complete list. Most are not essential, but if you have the time, energy and resources then this is what I would be on >40yo.

CoQ10 (1200mg)
Idebenone (300mg)
Acetyl L Carnitine (1000mg)
ALA (600mg)
EPA (3000mg)
Resveratrol (1000mg)
Pterostilbene (100mg)
MK-7 (180mcg)
Aspirin
Astragalus (TA-50) (varies)
Keto-DHEA (200mg)
DHEA (100mg)
SAM-e (400mcg)
multivitamin
D3

Some gold in that post.

Now what did you recommend for me? I remember the NAC dose was 1,800mg/day, which I take, but some other numbers above look different since the Rx lol, you sent. Guess I could search, but I believe it deleted it by accident. :(
- 42 year old Recovering drinker, alcohol induced fatty liver disease
- Ironhead. started with gear 17yrs ago. Now hepatic, and lipid labs prevent the use of the doses I need, even though strict clean diet, cardio in addition to weights, and clean living.
- Ironhead who's still, probably considering, lol, low dose, low side effect (barely effective:( gear. Even at that, protection is needed, and wonder what those doses would be considering that?


Btw, I do almost wonder if dosing DHEA as above could allow one who does now run low (290's last time), to come completely off exogenous testosterone, and get into at least the 600's, maybe 900's... And no prostate worries at the above doses? I've not researched it recently, but do wonder the amount of DHT that would result. As long as I can keep my hair, and avoid bph, would seriously consider the DHEA if it would get my free, and totals levels into a high normal range.
 
This is a more comprehensive list. SAM-e is also great for liver-issues. TA-50 is $1K/month at therapeutic dose, so you can take it off the list. I cut & pasted it from earlier in this thread. DHEA is great. I buy Pat Arnold's 7 Keto and add micronized DHEA as a topical.

Which Astragauls is $1k/month? I couldn't find it.
And this is interesting stuff: http://prototypenutrition.com/products/7-spray.html
Are you pouring micronized DHEA into the bottle, then applying? How much? Please elaborate. The 7 spray says it's applied all at once, or split between two dosings. I take it, a bottle lasts one to two times?

Also, this looks promising: http://prototypenutrition.com/products/ur-spray.html

More interesting stuff this is!
 
haha, that was a typo which I corrected later. It's TA-65. http://www.revgenetics.com/ta-65/

No, because it will still clog the bottle. I open a cap of Pure Formulas Micronized DHEA and spray the 7-Spray in the hand with the powder.

Yeah, can imagine the TA-65 will show up on the black market if demand's there. Look at Rx hgh. Could easily be $2,000/month at a 6iu typical bodybuilding dose. On the black market, $800 for the exact same brand. I never ask how it gets there, as all I'm concerned about is the authenticity and potency, but imagine some clever drug reps, med staff, drug manufacture key employees, etc., make a nice side income, lol. Top competitor I know goes through three 126iu Serostim kits/month, and it sure as hell works at his doses, but ouch$$! And that's less than the 18iu's/day he was on!:eek: Since I'm good at finding stuff (I shoulda been a Russian guy:D), will put out some feelers for the TA-65.

And how do you get the micronized DHEA to absorb topically? Does it contain DMSO? And if that's the case, wonder how this would work in "going around" the liver and anadrol.. Never mind.:confused: Sorry. At least I'm thinking though! Lol!
