Try collagen 2 times per week like this

Been looking at interesting research on collagen lately. I've been using collagen at various times of the day on and off now for about 8-9 years, but very seldom would I take it before working out. But there is a study that just started making the rounds again recently that showed that having collagen prior to workouts that had a more plyometric (bouncing) effect would actually improve the collagen uptake into the connective tissue. In this particular study, they looked at jump-roping and they saw that when subjects took collagen prior to jump-roping, it increased the uptake into the achilles tendon. Almost like the tendon acted like a sponge for the collagen. I usually use a collagen that doesn't have any flavorings or sweeteners. I just like the basic stuff. Recently I have been using BUBS Naturals as it's about is simple and effective as it gets. Here is a 20% off link if you use the code THOMAS20 - [( I'd recommend getting the travel stick packs so that you can use them on the go. They donate 10% of all of their profits as well. I have known Sean, the founder for some time as we have mutual friends with the Special Operations/Military work that I do. He is someone that I feel is a standup guy. Which is WHY I am all about giving him a platform to grow his great product. [TRY BUBS HERE]( and use Code THOMAS20 So, you know that I don't train with food in my system most of the time. So two times per week, I will either do a double day workout, or I will specify a specific workout (like running or jumping based) to utilize collagen prior to my workout. I'll take 2 Scoops usually and sip on it about 30 mins prior to my plyo-based workouts. It may very well be a placebo effect (I think not, personally), but my ankles and my knees feel way better and I feel more overall hydrated through the joints when I do this. Again, You may not want to do it all the time, but specifically with your more athletically movement oriented days, you could get some short term AND more importantly a long term effect out of this. Hope this little tip can help your joints out a bit! See you tomorrow! Thomas Sent to: {EMAIL} [Unsubscribe]( Thomas DeLauer, PO Box 1120, Stateline, NV 89449, United States
