Athletes have always gotten better; always will. A very difficult concept for some (no idea why). EPO in the 90s helped to keep records on the books for a while, but eventually, they all go away.
If you are hoping that you're favorite guy from the 80s and 90s remains the best, you will be very disappointed. The sport marches on and leaves people behind.
This is something that should be banned. Is there a test for it if they ban it? The shoes and the bicarb are ruining our sport and making it the realm of those who can afford such things. I know everyone of the elite level can get them, but this gets HS kids to try to buy super expensive gear and bicarb.
Why didn’t Jonathan follow up? Ask about how he has used it in training. VO2max days perhaps. What difference is he seeing or not seeing? Good for Grant for not being pious and pretending these ergogenic aids should be shunned. It should also help buffering enough to be ready to go at the end in a 10,000.

Nope. I’m just being realistic. If people today are running faster than the doped up athletes of the past. There’s only one conclusion that makes sense.
By the way athletes aren’t getting better. The best measure of pure athletic ability may be the long jump. What makes a world class long jumper has been virtually unchanged since Jesse Owens.
How did athletes take it before Maurten for best results? Down a teaspoon of baking soda with some water? Serious. Don't tell me to boof it.
I have mentioned this in other threads but our team did three sets of 800 meter repeats (over like a week) while ingesting a bunch of crushed up Tums or baking soda.
My problem, n of 1 here, wasn't so much stomach discomfort as it was the dose. I don't think I at that much, at least not enough to be effective.
It was a student athlete running the research experiment (for her thesis) and while she was very smart, she was also just a kid like the rest of us, so it was not clear to anyone how much per/kilogram of body weight is the right amount.
Maurten obviously figure that out and combined with the gel has hit a home-run.

Those stupid mods or owners keep preventing me from touching their precious boy toy Grant Fisher. If people are allowed to think and say that Fisherer’s admission that he took bicarbonate is proof that he is honest and straight up then it’s also true that LRC mods and owners deleting my comments of Fisherer’s doping are proof that they COULD BE CONSCIOUS about his doping thereby felt guilty and scared 😳!
Guess what nobody can stop me, I’ll bring down the house on American doping corruption! Wait and see guys ❤️

You again? You are a nightmare commentator because with you I have no clue where your beliefs lie. You give us bland and generic multiple answers to everything and refuse to commit on one single pitch. You know what you got it wrong again on the NACO3 issue. you don’t know you are objectifying there sport and it’s elements and using it as a means to an end to achieve your lewd and twisted desires of world domination, power and fame!!
It’s morally illegal even if legally legal dimwit! What’s legal ain’t always moral get it? Such simple metaphysical logic evades your mind goodness me!!

Agreed sweetheart, you are allowed to say that but when I say that I receive a ton of backlash and deletion because of my popular status on LRC. A well known physicist like me coming out day after day proclaiming the names of all the dopers in America is a little too radically true and transparent, people get scared the heck out of their arses. I hope I can be like you again, to comment in freedom at who I think the dopers are.
you literally have a box of arm and hammer in your pantry somewhere. you just never thought to swallow it.
the literature has been around for decades.
Yea literature has probably been around 30-50 years? I remember studying it in undergrad in the 90s. The consensus was that it 'worked' but the digestive issues were so traumatic you could not use enough to cause a benefit.
Like with so many things like this, there isn't any clear evidence that taking sodium bicarbonate orally actually does improve times (or even helps people with kidney problems or other medical issues where it has been clinically tested). Walter Cannon pioneered the use of sodium bicarbonate during World War 1, where he gave intravenous doses of sodium bicarbonate to save soldiers who were going into traumatic shock (he observed that they were suffering from severe acidosis). He did give it orally, as well; but there isn't a lot of evidence that that worked - at least for shock patients. Maybe taking bicarb orally an hour and a half before a race might help, but I really doubt it.

All athletes should also stop taking hydrogen dioxide and sodium chloride.
I knew a guy who was a talented HS 800m that was taking sodium bicarbonate back in 2013. If this HS kid was aware of taking this stuff 12 years ago, Im sure many collegiates and pros have been taking it in some form for a long time
