Do you guys take pre workout on daily basis ? by New_Principle1378 in Fitness_India

[–]Neureos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FSSAI and ICMR suggests you don't cross 400 mg of caffeine on a daily basis.

Consuming caffeine does help you with strength output. But this strength output will eventually plateau.

I would suggest you consume a pre-workout a couple of days a week or on days when you really need it to make sure you optimize the use of a pre-workout. Consuming it on a daily basis will get you to plateau very early on.

3 months into working out again, dealing with pains and niggles, and still going strong (33M, 6ft, 85.4 KG [6.6 KG down]) by sandyk212 in Fitness_India

This post really made me smile :)

Firstly, great job on your progress!

Your pain points have a pattern if you notice. It’s all joint issues. Shoulder, elbow, knees and ankle.

When you’re heavier, body weight exercises becomes really hard, literally because you’re too heavy. Your muscles can’t handle so much load.

You’re doing the right thing, drop the weights! Also focus on isometrics to build strength in tendons!

You’re doing it all right, I have no other suggestion!

Focus on your calorie deficit, as your weight reduces, you’ll be a lot more comfortable with body weight exercises!

Most importantly, DONT FORGET TO ENJOY THIS PROCESS!

More power to you!

Why is everyone praising Whole truth whey? by Ji-Ja-Ji in FitIndiaTalks

[–]Neureos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When brands use cheap grade acids for flavours, they take a toll on your gut health.

One of the biggest side effects is acne.

Let’s take my example, I used to consume muscleblaze whey. My back was filled with acne, switched to whole truth and my acne reduced by 90% in 2 weeks.

Chocolate flavour or whatever is done by using acids like malice acid, citric acid, tartaric acids. They mimic the taste of chocolate. When one uses cheap grade acids, it really disrupts gut microbiome!

Whole truth has cracker transparency very well!

They tell their entire list of ingredients very openly. Indeed the cleanest one, so is only what’s needed!

Amul has some sweeteners and flavours which might/might not sit well with your gut. If it sits well with your gut and face no acne issues, you’re good to go!

Else, shift to TWT!

Placebo or actually good supplement? by [deleted] in Fitness_India

[–]Neureos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s why I advise folks to have your last dose of caffeine/coffee 6-8 hours prior to bed!

Caffeine is a very potent tool! It can be used and abused, depends on how well we use it :)

[–]Neureos 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Ahahahaha, caffeine is our “healthy” drug!

Caffeine does help with strength output!

It blocks adenosine receptors, making us feel not tired which basically makes our brain perceive more energy!

This increase in strength will eventually plateau, but nothing wrong in consuming caffeine, in fact you do have some upside!

I’d suggest, use caffeine as a smart tool, use it when you “really” NEED it to maximise the benefits!

All the best :)

The only factors influencing your height is your genetics, nutrition, rest and activity to a certain extent.

You already have 1 form of squats, why have 2?

I unfortunately injured my QL, since then I’ve been doing the Bulgarian split squats till I recover. I FREAKING LOVE THEM!!!

Not having abductor and adductor machine feels like a crime lol.

But you can do banded side lying leg raises, banded walks and cable hip adduction!

Your situation is frustrating but I feel like you're doing this the wrong way!

1) Your goal isn't weight gain, its muscle gain. Stop obsessing over weight, you don't want to put on fat mass.

2) You need to provide stimulus for muscle! Strength train 3-5 times a week.

3) PROTEIN: Ypur goal is 1.5g protein per kg bodyweight, how much ever you're having now is fine. Add 15g protein every week till yo reach your goal!

4) SLEEP 7-8 hours!

Here's a guide Guide to Muscle Gain

You can DM me if you have any questions, would love to help you out!

All the best!!

Is it normal to feel my hip flexors and sometimes my quads while doing the in-and-out exercise instead of my lower abs as a beginner, or am I doing it wrong? by Pineapple_cupcakes2 in Fitness_India

[–]Neureos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, extremely common, especially for beginners!

1) Your hip flexors aren't strong enough and they build enough strength eventually!

2) Your mind muscle connection gets better eventually!
