Have you tried Amp Human or taking sodium bicarbonate orally? Did it work for you?
@@Pierrelafayeedney that sounds like you did not eat nearly enough.
Usually it's 1 gel every 20 min in a competition.
If you are reacting to gels in competition, have you used it regularly during practice?
Also, maybe try Maurten. It's super expensive but it seems like it works for people who can't get used to gels.
I would still be using powerbar in training though...
It takes away all that strain feeling in my legs and let's me go harder for longer
Bought AMP to try based on the benefit of SBC and thought "if Lance and a few others recommend why not". After watching this video its interesting because on the packaging it does say "More is more" which means use faster so you buy more (marketing and sales 101).
Now in reality, I am not sure if its the caffiene, AMP PR lotion, placebo effect, or the focused hard work of watching these videos and applying the science but I have been hitting PR after PR on FTPs.
I ordered some to try and it seemed to work for me. I noted a lower rate of perceived exertion during my hard efforts, and seemingly less build up of lactic acid, but actually found that I had increased muscle soreness the first few times I used it. I did not however use it post workout as recommended for recovery.
My takeaways -
Amp human helped to lower my perceived exertion during hard training, which in turn improved my confidence in my ability to complete said training, which increased my desire to actually do the training prescribed.
Since using the lotion I have seen a 5% increase in my FTP, of which I credit almost all of it to my coach and the work put in. But maybe, just maybe Amp Human helped me to get there.
the vegan cyclist likes it
A study funded by Amp Human and endorsed by Lance Armstrong = I'll pass.
Edit: But I will take a barrel of Hypergain Beastmode cupcake lotion because I believe in Dylan.😂
The lotion smells so nice. I wear it even when I'm not working out.
I am still waiting for Dylan to make Hypergain Beastmode cupcake waterbottles that would sell out.
They're missing a huge opportunity to market it as chamois cream. Even if it doesn't improve performance, it will keep your kit smelling fresh and clean.
Not sure I'd want this stuff in direct contact with my junk.
Bro, I accidentally got some on my junk, and had fireballs until I finished my ride and washed it off. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!
@@codydavis3222 there is your performance enhancement right there. Bet you peddled like crazy to get home and wash it off .....
@@chapmag6578 Haha you figured it out!
I use it and it actually doesn't smell very good. The new formula they use now is a bit better smelling, but I'd still not call it "fresh."
meanwhile on GCN... how to correctly set up brake levers... for the 15th and a half time
I cannot say enough how skeptical I am of these claims. The heart rate graph was dodgy in the extreme. And if you resort to that you cant be trusted. I also doubt the claim that they can get transdermal delivery of a small anion into large deep muscles in sufficient quantity to improve buffering, and ( if that's not enough) have it stay there. Even the data on oral bicarb arent real strong. I may be too skeptical sometimes., maybe because I have a PhD in pharmacology and have been working scientist for 30+ years. It is easy to fool yourself even when there is no money at stake. Bear in mind that studies showing no effect of a treatment don't generally get published. How many times did sports scientists do studies on oral bicarb that showed no effect? We don't know. (This publication bias problem permeates biomedical literature, so it pays to be skeptical of small effects). Also throwing out subjects who had adverse effects is VERY bad form.
Im also a scientist.. Or better a near the end PhD student and I know what you feel. We need journals to publish also data which have "no effect". Often that says also a lot.
@@raphaeltiziani7476Near the end of your PhD means you are a scientist already as far as I am concerned. In life sciences a few journals exist that in theory will publish an interesting negative result. PLoS ONE, FASEB Bioreports are examples. But you are correct, sometimes negative results tell you a lot. It seems like in physics you can publish well performed negative results easier. In biomedical sciences most people dont even try to publish negative results, sometimes even when they contradict previously published positive results. So I say again, don't be easily persuaded by small effects that seem implausible, and for a lot of reasons I doubt that oral bicarb can have much effect on blood bicarb. And as for a topical bicarb lotion? Extraordinary claims like that require extraordinary evidence.
So... have you guys actually tried AMP human?
@@robertm1552 There's lots of stuff I don't spend money on because I know the claims are absurd.
Stuart Dryer ok... how about CBD. Is that in the realm of “legal” PED use and believable?
The internet needs more of these unbiased reviews. Great job.
"should be taken with a grain of salt" - cracked me up!
Sodium bicarbonate should be taken with sodium chloride. It even sounds extra goofy when you say it that way.
Reminds me of the Power Balance Bands. Lots of athletes swore by them...
Just discovered yout channel yesterday and ive already seen half of your videos! Great content! It would be great some advice about enduro and downhill training! There´s not too much advice around the internet... Keep it up Dylan! Good luck for the season
Another great informative video!
Great work!
Well I've been using it now for a few months and my experience has been that it works very well and I have been very happy with the results. I race Motocross and cross train with Mtn biking I have mainly used it for Motocross and I was shocked that it really worked. What I noticed was I could sustain my intensity longer and also near the end of a moto I would normally start breathing hard and have to really focus on that witch was distracting. With the Amp Human I finish and notice I'm not breathing nearly as hard and recover better for the second moto, and the next day I noticed that I am not as sore and stiff and my legs seem to feel light and not heavy. I wanted to do my own test to see if I was crazy, so anyone that knows anything about motocross knows it takes months to get in Race Shape if you have not been riding. So I had a buddie who had not been on a bike for ten years and just started racing again, I gave him one of the sample packs that I had and at the end of the day he said it was almost like his endurance was better overnight and now will not ride without using the lotion. So for what it's worth I think this stuff has really helped me and by the way I have NOT told any of the guys I race against anything about this stuff and my buddy I made him promise not to say anything either.
I've been using this stuff. It doesn't make me faster but I won't be sore the next day after long rides.
Dylan this is fantastic research as always...similar to the Deer Antler Spray IGF-1 marketing in golf. I am going to opt for the chamois cream instead of Amp Human lotion. At least that placebo effect and a coffee has worked for me every time.
would Lance lie, to benefit himself ?
No. He wouldn’t. Most honest guy in history
I’d love to see you do a video on how you choose studies and which you exclude. Could be super quick but just some thing those of us w lit review training know how much to regard your opinion.
I love this video and your science based approach ( I am not a fan of n=1 anecdotes/testimonials WHOEVER they are from ) in stark contrast to another recent video on the same subject. I tried bicarbonate orally but my delicate stomach wasn’t happy. I have been using Beta alanine and after a few days the tingly side effects diminished to nothing. Really looking forward to your supplement video - be sure to include Hypergain Beastmode 😜
Bring back the sick whip air in the intro! 🤙
Second this. You're starting to look like a roadie.
God damn I love facts! Thanks Dylan!!
Thank you for posting this one. Muc Off has an Explosive Power lotion as well that I have used, not sure how effective it is but in those dark moments where you dig deeper and find it...Maybe it works? I've been curious about Amp Human, after reading the ingredients...I'm not sure if any of these products work that well but I also can't say they don't work.
Well done Dylan.
Lol at the stir at the start.
Personally sceptical of these sort of products.
Loving the channel, so much anecdotes in cycling it's nice to see some facts
I think if you are interested in it, you should try it. In general, we are talking about marginal gains here, so it won’t be too big of an impact.
So wait, can I just mix in some baking soda with my lotion and get this stuff?! Seems easier than buying $55 bottle.
Science! I love this channel!
I've tried PR Lotion and think it works. I'm think a small benefit exists when riding hard, but the main benefit I find is better post-ride recovery. My legs don't feel as tired or sore after above threshold interval sessions or slamfest group rides when I use PR Lotion. Maybe it's placebo, I don't think so, but hey, if it is, I'm still a buyer. YMMV so if you disagree with me, fine.
Very informative 👍🏽
I tried it last season and effect it had on me was to delay the onset of cramping. I am horribly affected by muscle cramps, have tried other weird suggestions like eating mustard, hot sauce, etc., without success. But Amp actually did seem to reduce the time into a long hard effort that the cramps would start. I've repeated this and have gotten the same results.
Give Maple Syrup a try, and let me know?
I've used this stuff a few times - Topical Edge though, haven't tried it yet as the re-branded "Amp" name. Interestingly enough, when I did a 75 mile ride with 11,000 feet of climbing, it felt like the first 7,000 vertical feet, I had barely ridden. Granted, I was keeping a pretty easy effort as the final 4.7 mile climb (Mt. Baldy) that averages 9% blows - but after it started wearing off and fatigue started to set in about 3/4 of the way through the ride, it was almost like an on/off switch to where my legs felt great and fresh, to "this kind of sucks". I've also used it for some time trial events - around a 31 minute effort, and I think the biggest benefit was with recovery - my legs didn't feel nearly as hammered the following day.
Need a T-shirt with Hypergain Beastmode Cupcake Lotion
I'll wager that will improve performance more than rubbing baking soda on your skin.
This is well timed
Great video. Do you have any plans to make a similar video on Beta-Alanine?
@10:22 Fantastic! That means I don't have to recycle my own "Hypergain Beast Mode" Sweat! I've been using my unctions as a lotion and chamois cream for quite a while now. BTW, results have shown a 100% improvement in normalised double-blind "independent" peer reviewed Hypergain sponsored studies!
You ALMOST got this message under 10 min. Good objective reporting. Interesting.
I was a skeptic of the product, and am definitely a believe in the idea that placebo can alone make a difference... not sure which it is but my legs do feel better when using it. It could simply be the tingling sensation they get after applying it, similar to a heat rub... which I've also had great results when using, but either way it's been a positive experience using Amp.
Hey! I feel like this is an opportunity to request a subject: magnets. The one making the rounds locally is branded Bemer. Some quick research told me all I needed to know and I've heard a whole local team is using them. I've been itching to see if you would come to my conclusions or even find research on the subject that I missed. Also worth noting that BRAC has been sponsored by Bemer, so they're making a push into CO cycling market.
Be careful with "soda loading" through ingestion. Aside from it allowing you to shit through a screen door without touching the wires, it can cause other severe and dangerous side effects if overused. Don't forget, you don't know the starting alkalinity of your blood before consuming (unless you have a means of readily measuring blood pH), or how fast your body is metabolizing NaBiCarb and whether you are dangerously elevating the pH of your blood. It can also affect the absorption and rate of absorption of other medications. Not to mention hydration also plays a role in blood pH. Be really careful if you are diabetic.
When I was an athlete, I remember the talk going around about whether to use it or not. In particular it was around 2005 or so, I remember an athlete having suddenly died in her apartment before training. She was a high performance runner. One of her roommates said she was using NaHCO3 and that she saw her using it before she died. She died as a result of a cardiac episode. While it wasn't "officially" what caused her death because a direct correlation/causation couldn't be proven, it was definitely alluded to and in the running world Soda Loading attributed to her death through an accidental overdose. I tried to find the article, but it's been soooo long I can't find it. Also, it wasn't listed as a "direct result", more or less the article discussed the dangers of an overdose and how the runner's death followed the path of an overdose and she was known to soda load.
I'm not a doctor, clearly. But just understand there are more dangers to using NaBiCarb than just the shits or vomiting.
With p value you can easily counterfeit data to reach a significant result... Meta analysis is needed to see if there is a real benefit ( usually it takes lots of years in rehabilitation studies 😅 )
Beware of % change in research. It’s usually taking advantage of the fact that even incremental changes in small numbers look like huge percentages. This is especially important when using subjective scales like perceived effort (rates from 1-5 or even 1-10).
Great review, thanks! No idea why somebody would trust a product endorsed by Armstrong?
Is the core benefit to raise your pH? Would a study testing pH manipulation be relevant? Also, the topical use does introduce the unknown of absorption which is always an unknown in supplements.
love to see if the effect of just rubbing an oil/grease into your legs effects the outcomes of the research, did the sample wear shorts or full leg coverings on such marginal gains these are things that need to be looked at.
Lance would never lie to us.
Used it for Decathlons, worked best when fitness was high - there was absolutely no pain over 400m and minimal discomfort over 1500m, I personally deal with lactic quite well anyway, team mates had mixed results. Took first dose 3 hours out then 2.5/2/1.5/1 @ 0.4g/kg body weight. Taken with carbs, banana and jelly babies were the standard as usually trying to high jump at the time, never experimented with bigger meals. Chances are before hour zero you'll find yourself sh***ng out the eye of a needle at least 2-3 times which is why you should experiment in training. Once I didn't have time to eat that much, could only drink fluids, things got messy down the home stretch... One of the biggest things i noticed though was the improved recovery for the second day compared to not taking it at all. Very good stuff if you can figure out what works for you. Not convinced trans-dermal would work but hey, i'm no scientist.
if it seems to goo to be true...probably is. Thanks for a great video
keep up the great work. As a data scientist, I love this level of geek. I wonder if there is a homeopathic remedy for the carbon dioxide buildup after taking bi-carb orally, like peppermint tea or something. Of course, I'll still get some PR lotion and set it on the shelf next to my Sport Legs for those big days in the saddle. ahem.....because hey why not.
Ginger root helps settle some stomachs.
Another great video, 10:20 really made me laugh too 😂
I tried the product (AMP) a couple of times for workouts, recovery and "A" races. Long and short, I was not able to notice any difference in performance in-ride or as evidenced by power/hr feedback in TP.
It did not appear to resolve in higher power, lower heart rate, improved recovery between sessions/intervals, improved fatigue resistance or otherwise. My PBs gave all been achieved without AMP/SB.
I do sweat a pile and as intensity increases, the likelyhood of it washing off my legs/into my socks and making a giant mess was greater.
I cannot recommend this product.
So what can we conclude here? That it costs $35 per bottle...
Interesting video though 👍
The dig at Lance Armstrong, delivered by BHD at 0:46, earns this video a thumbs-up from me 😄
Perhaps a rabbit hole, but I’d be interested in your analysis of collagen as a supplement for endurance athletes. A recent Ask a Cycling Coach (TrainerRoad) weighed in strongly in favor of it. I fear, though, you could do a new posting everyday on individual supplements and stay busy for too long!
I do plan on doing a supplements video. Perhaps I'll include it.
Dylan Johnson Looking forward to it!
@@DylanJohnsonCycling That would be great, I just started taking Beta Alanine, Citruline Malate, Cordyceps and tart cherry powder, but don't too much of the science behind them & I'm not sure take with or without food, wether to take just at some point during the day or a certain amount of time before/after my work out. Other things I'm thinking of trying are HMB, when lifting, collagen (for swimmers shoulder), Ashwaganda Root and Trisodium Phosphate. So many things, what works?
@@danielbyrne6214 beta alinine is in first endurance optygen hp and has been said to work by cyclists. Ciruline malate is in first endurance race caps which is taken 30 or 40 minutes before a race. Beta alinine is one of the best in my opinion. Ciruline, I don't know if it works. Ashwaganda, may help a bit. I take all three of the above and I don't think they need to be taken with food. Ashwaganda is good for chilling you out and keeping cortisol low which then allows you to exercise multiple times a day or perhaps a 2 minute rest between vo2 max sessions. Beta alinine is something you take every day and it builds up over time. You tingle when you take it but that does not mean you are stronger when the tingles are there the tingles say that in 3 weeks time you will be repeatable if you keep taking it everyday. Ridiola rosea needs to be added to your list. Cordyseps are said to work though I'm not able to source them now. Cordyseps are in optygen by first endurance or is it optygen hp? Some of the other items there I actually had not heard of. Evoq is the name of a channel from a guy also on the east coast who is a coach. He did a video recently naming effective supplements. And then jasper did his list of 5. I think jasper may have mentioned this sodium bicarbonate lotion. So I don't know how accurate or scientific that video is. My point is basically beta alinine. Everyone says that it helps.
KOM leaderboard is all the science I need, gimme some cupcake lotion! Lol.
I've tried AMP before and I like it but not sure if it's placebo and race day jitters or actually working. Beats drinking gallons of beat juice and trying to take baking soda orally. Thanks again for a great video Dylan.
Black Water Cyclist You don’t have to drink gallons of beet juice. You can try Beta Red beet powder concentrate by Enduro Bites. I’ve seen good results with it.
@@GNX157 Thanks for the recommendation. I have heard of some of those products but never tried them myself so I should definitely give them a shot and see what I think. I tried the beet juice thing and tried to take the amount they took in the studies and it was ridiculous. Felt like I was going to sweat beat juice all over my kit! LOL :D
Black Water Cyclist The dosage guide for the beta red (also orange flavor) is very reasonable. It’s got a bit of beta alanine in it also but not enough to really do anything, as BA requires preloading over a period of days or weeks so I’ll take that separately anyway. If you sub to their newsletter they’ll send a discount code which also helps. I buy by the largest pouch as that ends up being cheapest per serving.
@@GNX157 Great info! I appreciate it. I will go check them out right now.
You should do a research backed review on the legal epo-boost(tm) supplement
Interesting Vid
Thanks to your tips I have been able to increase my ftp nearly 80 watts this year!
One quick question I was considering buying a dropper post. I race highschool xc mtb races on mild single track but the trails do get hairy at times. In your opion would a dropper post be worth it?
Absolutely. A dropper is a game changer.
Could u make a baking soda paste? Put it in sunscreen or moisturizer? Any of these to achieve the same thing. Appears that its 55bux for $1 box of baking soda with your fav moisturizer with spf in it (ie. prolly 10% of their cost to concoct yourself). -U10
Did the Bicarb Blood Buffers in the mid nineties, It seemed to work sporadically, but was always a gamble. Nothing worse than getting the squirts mid race.
If it's really going to decrease soreness topically, you can just put it on one leg, then repeat the test later on the other leg. That's a pretty well controlled experiment.
Can you make that BHD laying on couch a poster? I need some inspiration.
What's the evidence on sodium citrate (sodium citrate is the salt you get when you mix sodium bicarbonate with citric acid - in many electrolyte sports drinks)? It was mentioned in one of the papers you showed. Does sodium citrate similarly effective? If so, is there less risk of GI distress?
I've long mixed up my own electrolyte mix for my water bottles - sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride, in quantities so as to result in a mix of sodium citrate and some excess sodium bicarbonate (and perhaps potassium citrate too, I guess ;) ). I've done this primarily to help avoid cramps, which I was prone to before. Not noticed performance benefits though.
If Lance says so, it must be good. He would never lie to someone.
Great video. What we fail to always consider when looking at ergogenic aids is that while one might work the effects are not additive, good point on that paper with caffeine and bicarbonate. At the end of the day is way easier to down a second cup of coffee than play with bicarbonate hoping that you get the numbers right and not get into GI issues. That being said, I did find bicarbonate helpful when I tried backwards hat Dylan's suggestion of eating the 12 taco bell tacos.
drinking too much coffee gives me GI issues
@@moviepedro What is too much? more than 4 espressos? Have you tried getting the caffeine loading ~1hr prior to a ride and mixed with food? A while back there was talk about pro riders using caffeine suppositories as that would allow for large amounts of caffeine to enter the body without the GI distress.
poochie: You do realize dark roast beans used in espresso delivers significantly less caffeine than super light (green) beans in a normal cup of coffee right? Probably not. Most people incorrectly assume espresso gives you a concentrated dose of caffeine. It most certainly does not. Also the longer a bean is roasted (ie darkened) the more the caffeine is destroyed/converted to other organic compounds.
@@mrsmartypants_1 Why would I have only one cup of espresso? I know people are fond of their McDonalds large coffee, but nothing beats a nice espresso freshly made. Such are the simple pleasures in life.
poochie: Umm son? We’re talking performance enhancing caffeine here for a race or endurance outing with friends. As such one would be wise to effuse green or blond coffee as it delivers a much higher dose of caffeine vs a low dosage espresso. Secondly I can assure you McDonalds does not sell green and blond brews lol. Most mediocre coffee shops don’t either. As a side note - central and South American coffee growers - the best in the world generally think espresso is kinda sacrilegious as it destroys their beautiful craft beans - turning them into burnt charcoal. When the worlds premiere coffee tasters look for new sources of great beans they drink blond coffee as it brings out the best flavor the plantation has to offer. Espresso is an Italian thing of origin when great fresh beans were impossible to attain. The burning of the beans cover up their shortcomings. With that said I love espresso after a great dinner out after devouring massive amounts of protein. I have visited, stayed at and consumed a lot of coffee at numerous “haciendas” on coffee plantations throughout central and South America. My favorite was actually in the rain forest of Puerto Rico (before the hurricane). And you lol?
Any good research on the effects of Latigo on performance and recovery?
Well take 10 of the Hyper Gain Beast Mode Mass Gainer Raw Edition!!!! Hahah :)
I’ve tried it a few times but not really sure yet. Had two sponsored endurance cyclist friends tell me they swore by it. 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Dylan, In Canada Flow Formula is not available and shipping costs are prohibitive. Could you recommend a comparable hydration mix as I have not been able to find one?
Every race or long training ride I've used it in, my legs have felt amazing. Call me crazy, but I think the stuff works. I'm not sponsored, I buy it on my own, so I only use it in races mainly. Occasionally on hard group rides. I think it's a great product.
Shaun Bagley The placebo effect is strong in this one, Obi-wan.
I bought a tube to give it a try and the tube showed up damaged and leaking. I contacted AMP and they sent out 3 free tubes ads replacement and compensation for my trouble. I guess the product must be dirt cheap to manufacture if they were willing to send me that much for a leaky tube that i didn't do more than send an email about and the tube that was easily fixed with some gaff tape.
What’s the best legal supplement to boost energy & reduce lethargy / exhaustion? Caffeine does nothing for me
The three people I know that took this product all stated they rode better with it, but the big downfall is the mess. I’ll just stick with icy hot for now to get the legs in the mood before I start pedalling.
I wonder if you can make your own lotion. Since may ingredient is just baking soda. Thanks for video.
Funnily enough, I don't exactly trust Lance.
But I do trust you. Appreciate the review. 👍
So what you're saying is that we go the typical route for avoiding GI distress... SUPPOSITORY 😬
This stuff makes it so you don't feel the pain as much so u can go harder for a longer period. It's good shit but of course try if it's right for u
I tried it many times, for long rides and interval sessions. If anything, I had worse HIIT sessions. But, I'm allergic to placebos...
Thanks for the video! Selling magic snake oil is the second oldest profession. I would be interested in an analysis of CBD lotions, there's lots of hype around that as well.
So are there other products that work as effectively topically as their ingested counterpart? I think that is the real question here.
I have used and it does seem to have an effect. Not being sick and being able to train has more of an effect
Being 50 again and a fast master vs 63 with bad knees from to many miles using 175mm cranks is what I'm looking for.
Yip I will have 5 tubs of backward hat Dylan's product please 🙈🙉🙊 it will be amazing 👍💪👍
Is walking good for recovery?
I prefer cupcake lotion. I use it as bread spread. There is higher beast gainer concentration.
I took Hammer Nutrition Race Day Boost which are oral capsules of sodium bicarbonate, as prescribed. and I threw up violently and was sick in bed for several days.
Is it as good as EPO?
Lol, everything is ‘Game Changer’ for Lance Armstrong. l heard he talked about Powertod exactly the same way
Hey dylan kind of random, but do you think that just having a lotion evaporating off the legs could be partly responsible, ie the cooling effect / ?
its the menthol.
Damn Shouldve watched this b4 i ordered a bottle... guessing it will wash of in the swim aswell...
I just knew back-hat Dylan was involved when I saw the video title... no such thing as sumpin' fot nuttin' kiddos... thanx for the science though! a thorough de-bunking I'd say... just ride yer bike
Marketing 101: Truncated graphs
Man, you have the B roll dialed!
I just use Tramadol. That actually does work! Studies have proven it. 😊😊
Just ask Sky.
It didn't work for me , it made my legs very cold so they didn't want to turn at all . I used it as a recovery cream and worked better but will never order again.
Actually should be able to mix some DMSO AND baking soda into some bengay for the same effect
Do you ship to France : Hypergain Beastmode cupcake lotion ?
I've used icy hot or biofreeze on my legs before longer rides.. how does this stack up to AMP?
I'll have to look into it.
@@DylanJohnsonCycling Did you look into it?
i tried the "latigo" a few times it was useless did nothing
I don't think sodium ions or bicarbonate ions can be absorbed through the skin. Bicarbonate is also easily broken down to CO2 and H2O. We have "a thing" with the Mg creams/gels. As I remember from school, molecules must have specific lipophilic/hydrophilic properties to go through the skin. Just look at the NSAID gels (diclofenac, Ibuprofen).
So this means we can drink a soda with out regret before a ride
One of those weird times when saying "take this study with a grain of salt" could be interpreted as a ringing endorsement...
Dylan; why did'nt you try the product?
What I take away from this. Drink coffee. Totally skip baking soda regardless of if it seems to have a positive effect on your performance (which it probably doesn’t).
Bakjng soda also a cure for gi track or bacterial problems
Faaaak , i taught lance posted another video on wedu and clicked so fucking fast
