Bike or sled work > running for me. Less joint stress, easier to recover from.

If you lift heavy, magnesium glycinate at night is underrated. Better sleep, fewer cramps, way less DOMS. It’s cheap and actually noticeable.

Push-ups on handles, cable laterals, and overhead press. Keep shoulders engaged the whole time mind-muscle is everything.

Creatine keeps coming up. Any side effects for you? I keep hearing about water weight.

Yeah I’ve heard that about BCAAs. I was kinda hoping they’d do more but it sounds like hype.

With so many products out their protein powders, creatine, BCAAs, pre-workouts it’s hard to know what works and what’s just hype. For the ladies here who train consistently, which supplements have genuinely helped you with strength, recovery or overall progress?

I lift heavy 4x a week. People said I’d look manly, but honestly, I just look athletic now.

I love using RPE (rate of perceived exertion). If I’m constantly hitting failure, my glutes feel wrecked. Now I leave 1–2 reps in the tank and it’s been a game-changer.
