Finally a good leg workout - SuperiorMuscle.com

I have been having such lactic acid build up that all my workouts have been cut short. then retard me remembered a nice supplement called BETA-K. prevents lactic acid build up and it really works. I pounded a few grams last night and before my workout this morning. I hit a perfect leg press of 500 pounds for 1:24 TUT. slow reps. then did one legged smith lunges at 120 each leg. my glutes are sore as hell. so that is definetly a good sign that I pushed those sets well. finished with some Stiff legged deads, adduction, abduction and toe push for calves. but for anyone who gets that nauseated sick feeling BETA-K (and whatever the active ingredient is I think Beta-Alanine or something liek that). use it. works great to stave off running pains and if you do intense lifting.

Cool man going to give it a try. Still thinking of throwing the TuT into my workout, change things up a little.

Hey stone, when you say lactic acid build up. Do you mean your muscle were burning so much that you couldn't workout or what? Cramping?

its a side of lactic acid build up. most of us associate the burning and possible cramping to it but it can also put your body into the mode I go in where after the set your body can't clear it and you get that sick feeling (its also why some of us puke on leg day, same cause).

I got that feeling yesterday when doing legs, then again I get that feeling every time I do legs and thought of well killer workout. Almost after every set I came up feeling dizzy and had to catch myself. I am gonna look into that BETA K stuff you speak of.

Wow someone else has that feeling besides me. I have very hard intense routines and sometimes towards the end I start getting really sick. I thought it was dehydration but i drink water alot before gym and during, then thought not enough carbs, and Now i know. Thanks. beta-k

Pukie is your bodies natural response to more than lactic acid buildup. Your endocrine and autocrine systems release insane amounts of various eichasanoids and hormones, esp during heavy compound days ... aka leg days.

Have you considered supplementing with some HIIT training to push yourself into that "pukie" zone more often and to help your body adapt to it?

I just take my beta-k and it takes care of that, lol. I don't know what HIIT is (I used to konw what HIT is, is it a rip on that?).

I used to be sick 8 times out of 10 training legs, once I'd built a good foundation I just learned to train more intense and less phsyco. So can I just walk in to a supps shop for that stuff

yeah its called beta alanine. mostly I have gotten sick is because I am out of "Anaerobic" shape. I had to take a lot of time off from my legs because of knee injury. but I am getting back slowly. I will be adding in short rest sets and more intensity vairables soon to get that tolerance back up.

***THE BOUNCER*** · #13 01-08-08, 04:16 PM

hey stone, is there any info out there about this beta k stuff. would like to know how it works etc..

Had a nice 1 oclock leg workout today. only problem was that I got a stomach cramps from my breakfast cuz I am just not used to eating before working out. but I did hit 540 on my leg press (sled weight not included, cuz I have no idea what it weighs) for 1:08. I was pretty jacked and my knees felt great. my push felt great and I even almost couldn't get the last rep up (I don't use a spotter, I will now, lol). overall very happy. I don't know how long I can keep up these increases in weight. my plan was to level off and drop weight and lean out but I am so happy with my progress the other half of me wants to eat testosterone and keep getting big.

don't know what to do. lol

i murdered my legs today. a local pro decided he didn't have anything better to do and called me out telling me to try and hang with him for his workout. i wasn't going out like a bitch so i agreed. lol. he doesn't believe in reps or even the concept of time or pain. lmao. hell of a workout. my legs went numb for a little bit. way past pain..

nice...when I used to have workout partners we would have those days to see when the other one would punk out. I miss those days of competitiveness. as I get older now there aren't too many guys who have kept the drive to lift hard (near me at least, lol). My favorite was we used to go from leg extensions to leg press with no rest a few times and you are right by the end of it we were just numb and on the floor unable to walk for about 30 minutes.

yeah nothing is like that feeling of legs as far as other body parts. you can feel like you worked out but with legs you feel like a war just happened as you stumble to the locker room.
