Does nicotine increase exercise performance?


Is it me or is every gym Bro popping Zyn nicotine pouches like they are going out of style?

Seems also ironic to do that and then stay parked on the Pec Deck like a motionless stuff animal fiddling through TikTok for 10 minutes between sets, but I digress...

The word by the intent Goo Roos is that nicotine is a legal exercise performance booster, but is that true or is it a myth that is spreading faster than Marlboro smoke in a Vegas casino.

To help you out I put tougher a short PDF for you on this topic and it is completely free!

Let's peel back the label and look at actual research to see what is reality as you will learn

  • The 75% problem no Zyn evangelist wants to talk about
  • Why your nervous system feels dialed in at the rack but your top set doesn't actually move faster
  • What's really happening in the 8-to-12 hour gap between pouches (hint: it involves your nicotinic receptors throwing a small tantrum)
  • The heart rate trap — why 15 extra BPM on the treadmill is not the same as 15 extra watts on the bike
  • What researchers see when they pull nicotine out of habitual users for 4 full days instead of 4 hours
  • Nicotine, vasoconstriction, and a 95-degree gym — the trade nobody on IG mentions
  • Gum, patch, strip, pouch — same alkaloid, same disappointing result across every delivery method tested
  • The one test a real ergogenic aid has to pass: does it work in people who don't already use it?

Download it below at no cost, no opt in, no marketing monkey business, just straight up research you can use today.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Ben Skutnik, PhD, CSCS*D — Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Human Performance Lab Director at Butler University, and Head of Nutrition Coaching at Power Athlete — to separate fact from fad in aerobic training. We debunk Zone 2 hype, dig into why VO2 max matters but isn't everything, and talk about the psychology of performance and why anecdote often runs ahead of the research. We also get into hypertrophy training and...

The other day, I battled the tool of Beelzebub himself… …the Concept2 rower. After the first 60 seconds of my 2K, my heart rate was already much higher than usual. My brain immediately started banging excuses around like an empty tin can trapped inside a clothes dryer. I’m tired, and today is not going to produce a great time. My energy has been off lately, and I’m still getting over a bit of a cold. You were traveling on the flying germ tube. Maybe you caught another bug from the guy...

When was the last time your grip failed during a heavy set and you thought, "Fantastic. Free forearm work"? Never. You muttered a word that would shock your grandma, dropped the bar, and shook your hand like you had just grabbed a live electrical fence. You can test this out for yourself, Brosefus. Take your normal deadlift that you can pull even after a few tasty adult style beverages at the local watering hole discuss squat mechanics, ISA, and watching a demo of Irish clog dancing after...
