Tiger Tear - Thai Beef Salad One of my best friends owned an award winning Thai restaurant in South Florida. For many years, my wife and I visited his place every Thursday night for our weekly “date night”. He always promised me if he decided to return to Thailand, he would teach us how to prepare our favorite dishes. A few years ago my friend did indeed move back to Asia, but we still keep in contact to this day. I want to thank Paul Triam for this beef salad recipe. No doubt, you will thank him too after you taste it. Get the Full Recipe Here

MAKE YOUR OWN PRE- WORKOUT DRINK AND SAVE $$$ Pre-workout drinks can be expensive, but by mixing up your own you can save 50-60% and actually get a higher concentration of active ingredients.

My personal formulation is as follows ... Glutamine Powder (1 tsp) = 5.0 grams Creatine Monohydrate Powder (1 tsp) = 5.0 grams Mixed in 20 ounce of Water Add Jolly Rancher Watermelon Flavoring to taste. Then take these as pills before heading to the gym. L-Arginine (pill) 500 mg Caffeine (pill) 100 mg The reason for taking L-Arginine as a pill is to avoid the sharp taste it would otherwise impart to the drink if it were added as a powder. The caffeine pill is simply convenience and easy dosage accuracy -- although you could buy this as a powder too if you want to (and are careful with measurements).
