Buff Brogan Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Well, although I wouldn't go so far as to say you can't live without it, depending on what you're doing, sugar can be an extremely effective part of your training. The obvious scenario being for endurance athletes but even for people looking to build muscle sugar acts as a vehicle for shuttling protein to muscle cells.That having been said, I try to avoid processed sugar except in certain specific instances (chocolate milk being my recovery drink of choice) and although the guy was probably a bone head, he may have had a point depending on the context.You guys just kickstarted my memory of a trainer at my old gym telling a guy this "When you're squatting this heavy you don't need to be as critical of how deep you squat". The guy squatting was me, bastard had me doing power curtsies for months before I got smart, I'm only now back to the same weigth but actually going below parallel. Yesterday a trainer doing internship at my current gym was giving his client nutritional advice bewteen sets. I had to bite my hand to keep from throwing the 2.5kg weight in my hand at his head. He was telling his client "You can't live without sugar when you train, a good gatorade is perfect".just thought you might find this interesting. check rule 5 for sugarhttp://www.jimstoppani.com/home/articles/10-rules-to-live-train-and-eat-by?previewgranted most the people in the gym with personal trainers are going to be following as strict and rigorous program as the ones Jim Stoppani uses, he still has some points also Nubbins, chocolate milk may be my favorite thing on earth LEVEL: 7 Furyan Ranger - Battle Log - in lieu of this challenge don't look back, we aren't going that way: Rebirth - Wrestlemania Dark Raider vs KZacher From Tartarus with Love - Wrath of the Furyan - it's a secret! - FIGHT! - You can go your own way - The Rational Gaze - Rise from Death to Knife this Beast(part 3-the agony) - Demonized(part 2) - By Demons Be Driven(part 1) - Link to comment
Dleffe Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Sugar does have a place, but that doesn't mean processed crap. If it's all about the sugar try fresh orange juice. Or like I do myself, eat the whole damn orange or a nice piece of dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao), or some honey. Anything that doesn't look like it might be radioactive. I supose I should also have mentioned the guy was there for general fitness and weight loss. I think he woulda been better of with water.Besides it's been proven that even elite athletes can perform at their best during ketosis, so saying you can't train without sugar is incorrect. As far as hangovers and drinking goes, 29 and still hangover free. Every friend I got is waiting for the day I get one 1 Link to comment

matty_mcfly Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Eh. I dunno. I often enjoy some sour patch kids or trolli sour worms and/or a Gatorade when doing an intense or volume heavy work out. 1 "I can. I will.

Trewest Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Overheard a lovely little arguement at the gym, and I made me curious: There are 3 guys working out together. One's on the bench about to bench press a decent weight.Buddy 1- Do it to failureBuddy 2- no, AMRAPBuddy 1- to FAILUREBuddy 2- AM-RAPBuddy 1- FAILUREBuddy 2- AS. MANY. REPS. AS. POSSIBLE.Then they glared at each other for a bit as their friend on the bench did whatever it was he was planning on doing all along. So can you guys tell me, is there a difference between AMRAP and to failure? Because to me it sounds like the same thing, and I want to know if these guys were about to throw down a fight over a communication failure. 1 "What doesn't kill me better start running", level 7 Furyan Assassin My Journey From Fat to Fit: 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|CURRENT A proud member of the Champion House; Targaryen (Assassin's mini), Hufflepuff bravery is forgetting to be afraid because the thing is so important that the risk doesn't even matter (Assassin's mini) , Hellfire Club represent!

Cat in the rack Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 My understanding is that with AMRAP you stop when you think you can't manage another rep, whereas failure is until you can't even rerack it without a spotter.Someone correct me if I'm wrong 2 Follow me on snapchat or instagram @ catintherackSquat: 115kgBench: 77.5kgDeadlift: 130kgTotal: 322.5kgWeight: 68kg Link to comment

Trewest Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 To me, AMRAP has a time limit. Whereas failure would just be go until you fail. Ah, that makes sense, thank you. So my next question is, why would bench press be AMRAP? I'd think it would be to failure, with good form. But that's just me.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Usualy you do AMRAP within some time limit. However, in this case it sounds like they were doing what StudentBudget said, AMRAP being doing as many reps as possible and stopping once you don't think you manage another, but not actually failing any reps. To failure being actually going until the last rep is failed and you need to bail out on it. 2 Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.
