08.04.05 - #4 post of the day (hammer gel/e-caps secrets)

ok - last post of the day.

it's no secret that i use 99% hammer gel products during race and training time (with the exceptions to red bull and chicken noodle soup) and i am a very firm believer in their products. overall, they have done wonders for me and my stomach as they don't seem to cause me any "issues" from other high simple sugar products.

here's the HAMMER GEL PRODUCTS that i use:

HAMMER GEL
preferred flavor for me is choclate and espresso. usually buy the gel in the jugs and then water down the gel (half water/gel - then shake). this makes it a lot thinner, easier to digest and to squeeze the flask and slam down when you are in a hurry. prefer hammer gel as it doesn't give you that sugar high/sugar low effect that is common with some other gel products out there.

HAMMER GEL FLASK
these little babies are awesome (actually, just bought a DOZEN of them). great for their intended use for HAMMER GEL, but what about long enduro training rides? well, these little guys are big enough to keep a couple of servings of HEED in powder form. now, instead of walking into some random store to get some off the shelf sports drink, all you need to do is find some water, dump in your HEED into your bottles, shake up - and you are ready to roll.

HAMMER HEED
before i found this product, i had tried about every product out there but was finding myself having to dilute their product - which usually means less calories, making it harder to get through a long ride, let alone an enduro race. with this product, no worries - don't have to dilute, calories are good, easy on my stomach. and as an added bonus - this product also contains some of the endurolyte product. so what you say? well, this may be the reason your not cramping, pal.

HAMMER GEL SUSTAINED ENERGY
i call this "my food" to my pit crew during racing. at roughly 350 calories and with complex sugars, this lactic acid buffering drink mixes up thin and goes down easy. i often times will mix in a full mixture of HEED to change up the taste a little and to add a few more calories.

HAMMER GEL ENDUROLYTES
if you could buy only one product on the entire list, this would be it. say good-bye to cramps and muscle spasms when you take these little capsules. usually take at least 2 of these guys an hour, but when it is hot, you may need to up your doseage to up to 5 caps an hour.

E-CAPS: RACE CAPS
here's what they say on the web site about this product: More complete and efficient energy production higher energy level throughout training and competition, improved cardiac function, more complete recovery from hard training, improved immune system function. i have been using a very similar product to this last year after my coach mentioned it to me - and i have been using them ever since. mostly used only on race days, i also use these for long enduro training rides or on shorter recovery rides after long training days.

E-CAPS: MITO R CAPS
started using this product this year after reading an article from the hammer gel guys. this product enhances fat burning utilization and helps recovery, along with improving your cognitive funcitons and helps you stay awake and alert. hmmm... may come in handy at 2am during a 24 hour event when you are thinking about nappy time.

E-CAPS: ANTI FATIGUE CAPS
fatigue - i never fatigue! well, maybe a little... well, through countless hours of research, the hammer gel guys figured out that your body produces a lot of ammonia during endurance activities, making one feel fatigued, worn out and also helps out with an added bonus of having fun of dealing with cramps. try this product during race time and you will flush out all that bad stuff and keep more alert so you can dance on the pedals for longer hours.
