when I started working out I would drink amino acid sludge from twin lab. This stuff. LPP Protein Regular | Twinlab Or something close that probably tasted worse. It was basically acid, digestive envimes and milk protein.

Start with something insanely basic. 1 cup of this Bodybuilding.com - NOW Dextrose Powder - Corn Sugar! On sale now! With one scoop(provided in the tub) of this Bodybuilding.com - Syntrax Nectar - Best Tasting Protein! On sale now! That syntax looks good, and the dextrose is cheap, I may just try some out. I have some protein poweders building up at my place but they are cheap lol Nectrar tastes good. Like fruit. I always got apple myself. I used to take plain yogurt and add a scoop of the nectar product and that would be a really good breakfast. Then I got cheap as I was going through so much protein with 3 shakes a day so I switched to sci fit. It didn't taste half as good but it is dirt cheap. Thankfully I have always had an iron stomach and no protein ever bothered it. Some guys I knew could only have specific types that cost big $$$$.

You can then adjust your ration of sugar to protein untill you find what fits you right. It also won't have a whole load of BS that you don't know if you need or not. It also breaks down to a bajillion times cheeper than endurox.

Oddly enough I have an answer. A friend of mine tried a few configurations with his navigator and ended with subs and port to the rear. Later he put in a 3rd row and down sized.

I was so scheduled with meals and vitamins I could really specialize my post work out (pedaling) and not feel like I was missing out on the whole food aspect as my other meals and suplements rounded out my food intake really well. I didn't care about flavor or mouth feel at that time, only results. Some protein out there tastes and smells like horse piss, but if it had a chance of being better, I would at least try it. I would even chew whey powder if I was going to miss a shake/meal and didn't have water or a shaker. Basically, get the highest GI sugar you can in you right after your done pedaling. Combine it with a verry fast digesting protein. Personally I felt a huge boost in my overall performance if that drink has vitamin C and I follow it up with potasium. I started with a more conventional 4:1 carb to protein mix. Then I exparaments with more carbs all the way up to a 10:1 (100grams dextrose 10 grams filtered broken down whey). I found that it made me so hungry I couldn't even make it home (if we drove to some distant trail). For me 60 grams of carbs and 30 grams of protein are just about perfect. Then 30 min after that I have another protein shake, and that will usually hold me over for about 3 hours when I would eat another meal. I got the best results with the 60:30 mix. It was easy on my stomach and it had enough carbs to really get the nutrient shuttling effects/ igf-1 that I wanted. I add in the vitamin C because it's a great antioxident and I felt helped with day after pain. There is science supporting that vitamin C will reduce endurance though. It will reduce cellular mitochondria. I took 1-3 grams a day for a year and I didn't feel held back, but YMMV. For me it felt like it along with potasium helps reduce soreness by a great deal. What you're really trying to do with the Carbs Sean is stop cortisol and get nutrients back into muscles and help clean out lactic acid too. High GI carbs after a work out the best because they stimulate insulin. Right after a work out you have high cortisol and high GH levels. The insulin spike helps to shuttle in nutrients to the cells, and now it's common beleif that by spiking insulin when your body has a high GH level you can help release lots of IGF-1 that will help build cells. The spike in insuline also stops cortisol, and that's the most important part as cortisol is what tells your body to eat muscles for energy and not fat. To be sceintific with it just get a bag of dextrose and a bag of fast acting protein. Start with the 4:1 mix and then go from there. Once you get a ration of carbs to protein down, then add in vitamins you feel might help. B vitamins, or C, etc. Creatine wouldn't hurt either. Most people will tell you it's not for endurance and only for large muscles groups and they might be right. Slowest of the muscle fbers like to eat fat. But you use almost ever muscle fiber type when pedaling with any intensity. All other muscle groups use creating and ATP for energy.

That is awesome.

Locally you can get endurox at nutrition city if you want to support a small local place. I used to work there "back in the day". I think even places like REI and other stores of that nature might. It really has a huge following. Online? BB.com is my go to, I'm sure you can find it for less elsewhere. I just like that BB.com has decent prices almost always, and I can buy all my suplemets from them if I want to... Free shaker cups are nice too. Then I don't feel bad if I trash one. Bodybuilding.com - Endurox Endurox R4 - Recovery Drink On sale now! If you want to make a custom flavor blend check this place out. True Protein | High Quality Nutrition and Protein Supplements The easiest though is maybe the yogurt(or whey protein) & OJ mix. It has potasium, sugar, vitamin C(probably the best thing other than asprin for stopping the soreness in muscles), hydration, and proteins that are easy to digest fast. The only thing that might make it better is if OJ was all dextrose and not fruictose. You are in tune with your body it sounds like. That's rare and good. I'll snoop around and see if something is as well received as endurox. It's hard to beat though for availabilty, cost, performance, and credability. When I was working out hard I would just make sure right after I got done I took in 60+ grams of sugars that rated 100+ on the GI charts, and then 30 grams of protein with that, and another 30 grams 30 min later. Usually then a starchy meal after too. I home brewed most of my post work out shakes with either dextrose or tofuti 1000mg of vitamin C and whey protein. At the time I ate about 2 banana's(somtimes OJ instead) with a protein shake a day though and took a gram of vitamin C 2-3 times a day. It really kept off cramps and muscle soreness from lactic acid build up in hard worked muscles. Ask me anything about sport nutrition and I will do my best to help. Soo many scammers out there.

No problem. If I know anything it's sports products and supliments. I've done 'em all. From home brew protein shakes to bajillion bucks for a bottle of pills type stuff.

You didn't ask but, when going out pedaling something that can really help you recover FAST is drinking something like "Endurox R4". I used to mountain bike for several hours at a time, and it made a HUGE difference in recovery time by getting in the nutrients right after a long cycle session. I was pretty prone to cramping though, so YMMV. For me and the guys I pedaled with it was night and day. I like a 2:1 sugar:protein a bit more, but what ever works. Most bikers love endurox. I used to buy powdered bulk aminos, powder cross filter, ionized mega broken down whey and dextrose and mix my own drink for pedaling. Always added in vitamin C and then a banana later. After a while I got really lazy though and would mix OJ and yogurt. Ot a banana and protein powder + water. Anyway to get sugar, vitamin C and potasium, and simple sugar ASAP. I think the home brew worked the best but it would always make me insanely hungry(I desired that effect at the time though). With the other 2 options I felt I got the same results, but the smoothy made me have less appetite. Vitamin C, potasium, and sugar is the real key. The protein was really good too but not as important. All good info, What do you eat/drink before cycling? I was younger and extremely active..... Probably a tripple whopper with cheese large shake and onion rings. I was also Mtn Biking and we thought it was a fun game to see who could eat the most and not puke while slamming around jumps and river bottoms. Road biking is much more freindly to the guts than hopping dirt. Now? I would probably keep it pretty light. CHicken breast and rice with extra rice? Or chicken and pasta. Unless you're pedaling only for the sake of loosing weight slow burning carbs and water are your friend. When wrestling, pedaling, working a heavy bag, or lifting the best think you can do is stay hydrated. Usually for anyone who is regularly sweating hard and eating pretty healthy you also need electrolytes, so I would mix gatoraide or OJ in a 4-1 mix with water when I felt like I was really depleated.

Boo to crown. Canadian club is smoother and cheeper. That said, I don't even like whiskey anymore. If anyone is interested though, I highly recomend Red Breast as a wonderfull whiskey. It is my favorite by far, smooth like none other. Inculding all the multi hundred bottles and everything down from there. Just my .02.

That's why you need to use old filtered fry oil. Smells like french frys. That does work on the ladies.

The temp thing, you can just use colder forced air. I do get your point though with the EGR being usefull. I just think it's an old design that could be removed and a new system improved. I don't have an answer though. If I did it would probable be too expencive to mass produce. I should say I don't think black smoke pouring out of a deisel is a good thing, and it should be toned down, but the soot filters usually handle that quite well in modern engines. If you're using a cleaner/bett fuel you also have less bad exhaust. They also produce WAY less carbon monoxide, and that's a plus.

It's a bit like hybrid cars.... They are not as effecient as an effecient 1 energy type car. Take fuel energy convert to motion(loose energy in friction, also heat and noise), convert motion to electric energy(create more heat more noise, add friction and some level of resistance), store electircal energy at less than 100% effecient rate, use electrical energy to creat motion and loose a whole truck load of energy in transmission heat friction noise joints and friction. You basically double your losses. The extra enviromental effect of the manufacture and design of all the batteries and the use of more rare metals in the electric motor alone cause issues. Then the disposal of all the hazardous materials. It's sillyness.
