In everyones opinion with the current supps that are available what would be your ideal race day stack to get you in that zone both mentally and physicaly for each event?
AS the shorter sprints are more power driven the need for buffers is small compared to 400 - 800 so how would you takle the differences
Supps like Gakic if truelly work must surely be a great help on race day for events were power to wight ratio is a factor or the ability to push through lactic, same as supps such the beta alinine (sp)
So would for 400 a stack of Creatine, Gakic and BA be a winner, (although expensive)
I know its banned in the ncaa at certain levels of urine concentration, however its a pretty high level, above what most people would consider a useful amount of caffeine anyhow, you would need to consume around 1000mg of caffeine in a few hours to test positive.
I think it banned by the IOC at a slightly lower level as well, but I’m not sure about other governing bodies.
Dr. Berardi had a great stack posted at precision nutrition for bobsledders. Different for drivers and pushers. I won’t post it but if anyone would care to see it, I’ll e-mail it.
Caffeine intake is restricted (but not totally banned) by the NCAA. Urine concentrations up to 15 mcg/ml are permitted by the NCAA, about 500 mg of caffeine ingested within one hour would approximate this level in a normal adult male. Levels above this would result in a failed drug test.
