Biggest cheat code for HYROX Sodium bicarbonate. Yep… baking soda. And the science behind it is actually incredible. During hard efforts in Hyrox, your body produces hydrogen ions as a byproduct of high intensity exercise. Those hydrogen ions increase acidity in the muscles. That “burn” you feel? That heavy leg feeling? That sudden drop in power? A huge part of it is related to rising acidity and your body struggling to buffer it. This is where sodium bicarbonate helps. Sodium bicarbonate acts as an extracellular buffer. Meaning: It helps neutralize acidity in the blood so your body can tolerate high intensity efforts longer before fatigue hits. Why this matters for Hyrox specifically: Hyrox constantly pushes you above threshold: Sled pushes Burpees Lunges Wall balls Fast transitions You repeatedly spike lactate and acidity… then try to recover while still moving. That’s literally the perfect environment for sodium bicarbonate to help. Potential benefits: Delay fatigue I...
