VO2max and lung capacity

[Hendrik_S]

kloof nek is mayb a bit steep. My the back side of signal Hill ( were the giro hill climb goes) will be better or even the climb from campsbay to kloofnek ( but the traffic is hectic there). Try and stick 60 cadence with with hr going to a max of 75% ride to top and then recover for about 15min before doing second one.

 

pm if you want me to email you something

Can try taking VO2Max from USN... Hear it works as well...

[FanieFiets]

 

 

So. for example. Ride your climb that takes at leat more than 10 or 15min ( longer the better) at 60 cadence focussing at pedalling dynamics and keeping it between 70 and 75%.

 

i take it IT is your HR?

 

[Hendrik_S]

There is absolute nothing you can take that will make you increase your Vo2max. Only blood agents that increase your oxygen capacity like epo and cera can do that. USN is a great company with very clever Marketing Campaign.

Yes. 70-75% of Max HR. but ideally you want to use your lactate threshold as your training guideline and not max hr? but that is another post all together.

ok, then what does USN's VO2Max do?

Gives you a third nipple......other than that......NOTHING......

[Hendrik_S]

it makes lots and lots of money for the company. The problem is that the bio chemistry of supplements is so intense to create the correct formally that is absorbed by the body. so its one thing creating a product and a second thing for the product to actually do the job.

I have not see any studies to support that a product can inhance your vo2 max. If so then we should some of it up to europe so that guys can stop taking cera and the sport will be cleaner...

[Hendrik_S]

If a guy gave you pills and promised you that your slong will grow longer would you also take it?

[CaptainDura]

Ill stay away from pills and the like thank you.

oh crud so it is 99% mental and is just a genetically modifed vitamin? hmmm.....

 

now to go off topic: are protein shakes okay for a chick to use?

the only stuff that works is illegal/banned

Rather take a iron tablets that promotes reb blood cell production and omega fatty acid compound that helps with cell membrane protection.

I skeem...

 

1, stop smoking the Herb

2, start doing some very basic lung exercise. before you go to bed at night, inhale as deep as you can and hold it there for a while, exhale, then exhale all you air out your lungs, keep it... inhale, do cycles like this.

3, take up surfing or swimming.

 

But I really only sucked those out my thumb. They do make sense though.

Protein shakes is not bad if used correctly and once again researched by the company. For endurance athlete we need 1.2g/kg to 1.4g/kg for protein. So if you weigh 70kg you need about 80g to 100g of proteien.

 

If the shake is taken directly after training or racing it must a low enery carbohydrate mix as well. You muscles need glycogen first before the proteien.

 

IF you take it after supper i can only be protein or no carbs. This help with anti - catobolism of muscle during sleep cause in effect me are starving our selfs when we sleep/

 

Look at www.musclescience.co.za and luke at pure proteien for after supper and Staminade Recovery for after training...

I have my lactate T, what % of that should you say I must use. I like the idea of not trying to kill myself each time I go up a hill.
