3 mistakes when using a pre-workout stimulant
When you need something to wake you up in the gym, pre-workout supplements are perfect for you. However, certain rules must be followed for everything to work properly. Pre-workout supplements have become as popular as proteins, and for good reason, they are effective and easy to use.
It's so simple that the name itself will tell you exactly when to take your supplement. Despite all this, make sure that you do not make any of these mistakes when it comes to this popular category of accessories.
Mistake no. 1 - Bad timing!
It happens quite often that people drink their pre-workout stimulant just before arriving at the gym. And most of the active ingredients in your drink reach the highest level in the blood after about 30-60 minutes. When you wait a while before you start exercising, you will definitely start with full effect.
Most of these products are based on stimulants and it is mainly caffeine. It takes 3-5 hours for the concentration of caffeine in the blood to be halved. So if you take it 30-60 minutes before training, you get the full benefit. You should be more worried if you take the supplement too late, especially if you go to workout late in the afternoon or early in the evening. If you do, you may have trouble falling asleep later.
Mistake no. 2 - Taking a supplement on an empty stomach!
If you sometimes drink coffee on an empty stomach, you will surely know the quite unpleasant feeling. If you take 200-300 milligrams of caffeine before training without eating something, you can feel exactly the same. A small meal 30-60 minutes before you start training can help minimize side effects, while these extra nutrients will help you with your workout. If you are concerned about exercising on a full stomach, skip high-fiber foods. Avoid whole grains, raw fruits, nut seeds and raw vegetables.
Mistake no. 3 - Your supplement before training is missing some basic ingredients!
There are many great accessories from which you can choose what suits you best. But there are fewer that have more ingredients and are therefore more effective. Stick to the basic ingredients! Whether you choose by taste or by brand, just make sure it contains the following ingredients:
Caffeine: for extra energy you have to fight fatigue for training for another representative!
Cutrulin malate: to get oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and deliver extra energy to increase your performance.
Creatine monohydrate: to increase muscle mass and strength. Creatine can be taken at any time of the day, but you should take at least one dose before training.
