Biohackers and supplement nerds,

What should I be taking to be more focused, have more energy, sleep better, and lift like a demon?

I think in general you gotta have a balanced diet, i believe that to have a better effect than blindly guessing what specific nutrition to optimise for. Have done a bunch of the common nootropics and most of them don’t work for me. Things like caffeine + L-theanine while some swear by them I swear it’s placebo. Things that really work you dont really wanna take them often (e.g. adrafinil).

I do take fish oil (cos I don’t eat a lot of eggs or fish) and creatine (cos i bought a tub and just trying not to waste). Not sure about sleep - maybe magnesium?

I went pretty deep with all sorts of racetams, different formulations of ashwagandha, etc etc. Eventually, I concluded there’s just simply too many permutations & no way to actually quantify benefit; rather save the money for some new fitness gear (running shoes etc) that will push training further. 

Re: lifting weights, it all boils down to form and training plan (are you training for strength/hypertrophy). I find stretching and wrist warmups very helpful too.

Re: sleep I got lucky by never really having trouble with it. I metabolise caffeine very quickly - guess it helps too.

yea working on diet aspect too. 

These are all generally the stuff I cycle on and off of depending on if I remember to buy them hahaha
