"Stager and colleagues had nine cyclists bike until their muscles were
depleted of energy, rest four hours, then bike again until exhaustion,
three separate times"

cruel and unusual punishment - I hope they got paid well.

Yep, but if you read carefully, they were comparing it to "standard"
sports drinks, which would be gatorade or powerade. Neither contain
*any* protein, and they contain crappy, cheap sugars, no magnesium and
are way too sweet.

It's the small amount of protein that makes the big difference, and
yes, milk *is* good! But as above, it's not very portable when riding
(although most servos etc will sell it )

I can't find the paper at the moment, but will try and remember to look
it up tonight.

C&U is biopsies. Every time some PhD student wants cyclists, they
bribe with a "free' VO2max test etc, but they want biopsies. STAY AWAY
FROM MY MUSCLES WITH THAT THING!

I do recall thinking of jumping on the Sanitarium "Up'n'Go" wagon. But
then I checked tehnutritional panel, and compared it to a glass of milk
with some Activite (vit/min fortified choco powder). And then compared
the cost.

So now the kids wonder why Dad is drinking all their choco milk!!
*grins*

Cheers,

PS Does anyone take Glutamine?????

Hi all,

Being a slave-ish follower of nutritional trends, I was thinking about
heading down the protein supplement road. However, after much
indecision (a la Travis... *grins*), I decided that until I start doing
some mega-mileage, its probably not necessary.

Balfour's Green Frog Cakes and Cooper's Pale Ale. Yes I'm in SA. Carbo
loading at its ultimate.

More seriously, SO takes creatine powder. Coincidentally, so does our cat
(in licking out the cornflakes bowl with creatine in the bottom). Our Cat is
the meanest largest muscliest and quickest recovering tom cat in the street.
He does suffer from fluid retention before peaking for upcoming cat fights.

Mmmm ... Coopers Pale. I have just demolished the last from my case and
I have moved on to Little Creatures.

Getting off topic here, but does anyone else think that Coopers have
changed their brewing method for Pale Ale? The last 2 cases I bought
seem to be fizzier and more acidic than I remember.

I don't like the new taste. I prefer the older flatter, less fizzy taste.

Dunno about Pale Ale but their Extra Strong Vintage Ale and their Dark
Ale are just as fine as always...:-)
