Baking soda pump? So I'm gonna take some right no. We're gonna go in and see how fucking nasty this pump is. Does this actually work or is he just huge? Interestingly, baking soda or sodium bicarbonate has been used for over eighty years to enhance performance. Most people just don't know about it because brands have convinced you that $30 containers containing two hundred milligrams of caffeine that makes your skin itch means it's it's working. However, the International Society of Sports Nutrition, one of the most credible bodies in exercise science, recognizes baking soda as one of the few supplements with peer reviewed evidence behind it. In fact, in horse racing, they'd call it a milkshake and it's been banned because it works so well. It essentially works by neutralizing the acid buildup in your muscles or that burn you get when you're pushing hard and delaying fatigue so that you can perform at peak intensity for longer. Studies show a one to 2% performance improvement which isn't huge, but it could be the difference between a new PR and falling short. So here's the formula. Take about point three grams of baking soda per kilogram of body weight. So if you're say a hundred rank fifty pounds, that's roughly 20 rank, which equates to about four teaspoons of baking soda. Mix it with water and take it sixty to ninety minutes before training. Don't overdo it though. Higher doses may upset your stomach more than they'll help your performance, so start slow. And if you care about what you're putting into your body, I'd avoid the Arm and Hammer brand as it's chemically converted from Mindore. Spend the extra dollar or 2 and get a brand like Bob's Red Mill that's mined directly from the earth in its natural form.
