Do another activity.....
Yea, it always turns into me just going and hooping. But for some reason in my mind I feel I should be doing it. I'm in the Army, and obviously P.T. tests n junk
Switch it up and run sprints and hills. Both of those can help break the monotony and help with longer distance running.

Tried this with Deads today. Way more difficult than you would think.

Got 15 mi. of biking in Saturday and I don't like cardio so that's a big deal to me...
Today I got my second PR this month on D/L... I've toned down on back squats for working my legs and upped D/L so I've been preserving myself. Also been religiously stretching my lower back. Need to implement hook grip more, I just don't trust mixed enough.

Looking at BCAA research again. Interesting studies on brain chemistry.
In short, BCAAs compete with other large neutral amino acids into the brain. Taking it by itself lowers the percent of serotonin and dopamine precursors that make it through, thus lowering overall serotonin and dopamine. Lowering serotonin is a good thing, but you want to promote dopamine as much as possible (within reason). If you stack BCAA with tyrosine, phenylalanine, or meat, only serotonin lowers while dopamine remains the same or increases. Effectively making it an anti-serotonin supplement.
Already put my order in for BCAA and l-phenylalanine. Read phenylalanine has broader anti-serotonin effects as well as promote dopamine. Too much tyrosine can go down the adrenaline path. Also came across couple studies suggesting you need sunlight (UV-A I think) for it to convert to dopamine.
All this is way more interesting and impactful than the marginal affect on muscle protein synthesis it gets hyped for. Especially with all the low key depression going on.

Why is that?
