Coffee More Effective Than Drugs At Easing Muscle Soreness February 17, 2009

Apparently caffeine from as little as two cups of coffee can help reduce or ease muscle soreness caused when working out. Caffeine was found to be more effective than aspirin at easing muscle pain caused by vigorous cycling exercise. Quoted below

Drinking a cup of coffee is more likely to reduce muscle pain during a workout than taking an aspirin, suggests a small study from the US.

Researchers at the University of Georgia found that caffeine reduced thigh muscle pain during cycling exercise. The natural ingredient is added to many sports nutrition products as it has been shown to ‘enhance performance’. This effect could however be a result of its pain inhibiting role, suggest the scientists. The same team has also previously shown that aspirin, though commonly used to treat muscle pain, did not reduce muscle pain produced by vigorous exercise.

“Muscle contractions produce a host of biochemicals that can stimulate pain. Aspirin blocks only one of those chemicals,” said Patrick O’Connor, professor of exercise science in UGA’s College of Education. “Apparently the biochemical blocked by aspirin has little role in exercise-induced muscle pain.”

In the study, published in the August issue of the Journal of Pain, 16 non-smoking young adult men, cycled for 30 minutes on two separate days. The exercise intensity was the same on both days and purposefully set to make the riders’ thigh muscles hurt. Participants in the study took either a caffeine pill or a placebo pill one hour before the exercise.

The riders reported feeling substantially less pain in their thigh muscles after taking caffeine compared to after taking the placebo, according to researchers. This suggests that prior reports showing that caffeine improves endurance exercise performance might be explained partially by caffeine’s hypoalgesic properties, said O’Connor.

“Not all analgesics or combinations [acetaminophine and caffeine] are effective for every type of pain or every individual,” he said. “Much of this is due to biological variation among people in receptors for the drugs as well as variation in pain receptors in different body tissues. For instance, brain tissue has no pain receptors so surgery can be done on the brain without anesthesia. Of course it will hurt getting through the skin and cranium.”

Caffeine also seems to work less well for heavy caffeine users whose receptors adapt with caffeine use, O’Connor said.

“The next step is to learn how caffeine helps people feel less muscle pain during exercise,” said Robert Motl, lead author of the study and an assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Illinois. “Evidence suggests that caffeine works by blocking the actions of adenosine, however, we don’t know yet whether the caffeine is acting on muscles or the brain.”

Bodybuilding Supplements For Muscle Gains – Generic Labz X-Mass

Posted by cozmo15 in : Muscle Building Supplements , add a comment

Just got a bottle of X-Mass to add to my cupboard of bodybuilding supplements and will be starting it in a few days. Need to get my diet in check and get motivated properly.

I have tried several cycles of prohormones over the last few years with varied results. The best one by far was the original Underground Labs M1T which was unfortunately banned a few years back.

I am in the UK but buy most of my supplements from Bulk Nutrition. They are based in the US but ship to the UK and various other countries (different countries have different customs laws so please check first). I use the express courier delivery and my order arrives within about 4 days. Faster than ordering it from some UK supplement suppliers and usually almost cheaper.

Buy a few items to make the shipping costs worthwhile and you will save money. You will most probably incur some duty tax but the most I have ever paid is £25 and it was a large order.

High Strength Trenavol / Xtreme Tren / Tren Xtreme Clone!

Good Mass Gainer and Cost Effective!

The active compound in X-MASS is the real deal, Estra-4,9-diene-3,17-dione. Most are aware of this structure now, but it is definitely worth including in the Generic Labz offerings. This powerful said to be Tren-like product is legal because it is a progestin.

X-MASS is progestin structurally related to the so-called abortion pill RU-486. Some have stated that it acts like a “anti-progesterone” in lower dosages. Reports support the belief that X-MASS has a half-life of about 6 hours, though it appears that it’s closer to 10 hours based upon plasma levels maintained in test subjects. It is not a 17-methyl alkylated product thus having very low potential for liver toxicity.

Benefits:

1) Weight Gain
2) Increased Strength Potential
3) Faster Recovery from ass kicking training
4) Non-17-alkylated
5) 60% more product than other brands
