Pre-workout supplements are designed to prepare your body
for an enhanced workout. Commonly known by athletes and bodybuilders for the
reason behind having the best workouts. It does this by providing a mixture of
focusing and energy ingredients which are commonly derived from; amino acids,
electrolytes, caffeine, guarana, nitric oxide and creatine, among others.
Initially pre-workouts were primarily used solely for its nitric oxide benefits. Nitric oxide
is produced naturally in the body, when L-Arginine is converted into
L-Citruline, which benefits the body's performance by increasing its blood
flow. This means more nutrients are able to be shuttled to your muscles. This
aids in strength, endurance, recovery and building of new muscle, this also
creates an enhanced muscle pump which is the feeling of a fuller, tighter and
harder worked out muscles.
Pre-workouts have moved from fundamentally a nitric oxide
product to more of an energy enhance or stimulant pre-workout in the recent
decade. Although the new formulated products still contain nitric oxide ingredients,
they now include energy enhancing and mental focusing ingredients, such as: caffeine,
guarana, creatine and beta-alanine.
Both caffeine and guarana are popular energy and focusing ingredients which have been shown in
numerous studies to increase strength, endurance and mental focus. Creatine
enhances explosive energy movements and beta-alanine aids in improving
endurance, both are naturally produced by your body, however by supplementing
these ingredients it allows the body to have access to more
"resources" to help boost its efficiency in exercising. Other
Ingredients that are commonly found in pre-workouts are BCAA's and electrolytes.
High intensity pre-workout, consider to be the strongest type of
pre-workouts, aids in explosive energy, endurance, mental focus and nitric
oxide(muscle pump).
Not for the beginner, used by intermediate to experienced athletes
and bodybuilders.
