How do you source all of these in Argentina? Imported products are astronomically expensive, especially niche products such as supplements. and forget about importing them yourself...everyone I know confirms this.
Not a huge fan as have heard they can accumulate Mercury if sourced from larger fish.
Sardines are a great source & superfood.
Actually, they are one thing I love about Europe summer. Can't beat grilled sardines on the Mediterranean, probably never felt healthier in my life than here.
-Love the High intensity/ low volume approach of Dorian. I recently switched over to Mike Mentzer's training program and it has yielded great results so far, he takes it a little further than Dorian even.
-Another thing I have added into my routine this year is Sauna/Cold immersion, if you are interested in increasing test/hgh levels its worth a look. Lots of benefits.
Good to see we’re pretty much in agreement on the food pyramid… although I do take in more than my fair share of tortillas (being in Mexico).
My supplement game is extremely weak. After reading your take on creatine (especially the cognitive benefits), I think I’ll be giving it another shot.
Driving culture has essential destroyed the West… at least the States. While I occasionally struggled with my weight there, I have no problem maintaining/losing weight in Mexico despite eating/drinking pretty much whatever I want. I attribute this to daily gym and getting 10,000 steps. For reference, I’m 6ft (182 cm), 175 lbs (78 kg), with about 10% body fat.
All seems reasonable. Definitely wise to throw away the grade school food pyramid 😂. I’m back in BA for 2 months — current favourite restaurant I should check out?
If you are looking for anti-aging products I would take a look at resveratrol and astragalus. You get already some resveratrol from Malbec 😀
Thanks Al, great excuse to have a Malbec tonight! haha

Mercado Libre...
Literally has everything you need, it ain't cheap but not overly ridiculous.
Also, when I travel outside of Argentina I stock up.
Interesting! Any thoughts on fish oil as a supplement?

Thanks! I had read that mercury wasn't a concern in fish oil. Unfortunately I don't love eating most fish. https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-fish-oil/art-20364810#:~:text=Fish%20oil%20appears%20to%20contain,in%20certain%20types%20of%20fish.
That's fair, I've heard mixed reviews on it.
I also don't eat much fish in Buenos Aires, but it doesn't seem to affect how I feel and train.
Great read! Do you take a multivitamin along with the other supplements?
Thanks Andrew. Nope, I don't take multivitamins, I try to get them from food. Occasionally eat liver and oysters which are natures multivitamin.
Megatlon's got a heavy bag to hit?
Unfortunately not at most of the ones I’ve been to.
But, you can ask nicely at Villa Crespo & they might let you 😉
Simple and well written, appreciate the insights on your supplements of choice. Find yourself eating a lot of chicken down there?
Thanks Andrew. Appreciate the feedback!
Not really mate, but it’s always on the menus of the parrilla restaurants & easy to get.

Oh nice, I'll check that out.
I also love sauna/ice, and should have included it.
Trouble is it's hard to find a decent sauna and ice bath Argentina.
Great stuff as usual. A few of my thoughts:

Great point mate! I love Mexican food and also felt extremely heathy there, even after copious amount of Tacos.
Creatine is great, I certainly notice it, you can even just micro dose it in the morning with a coffee or tea.

Agreed.
