Pre Workout

Pre-Workout by AS-IT-IS Nutrition

If you’re working out first thing in the morning, if you show up to the gym but your head’s not in the game, if you’re lifting the same weights, running the same distance, or feeling stuck, if you’re hitting the gym after a long day at work, if you’re preparing for a sports event, trying to increase your strength, or training intensely multiple time a week, the consequence in all these scenarios would be reduced endurance, low intensity workouts, poor form, wasted time, incomplete workouts, motivation drops, muscle fatigue, feeling drained quickly, slow recovery, workouts become frustrating and minimal results.

This is where a pre-workout supplement comes in. Pre-workouts target multiple aspects of performance – delaying fatigue, improving blood flow, and supporting mental focus. Whether you’re into strength training, cardio, or high-intensity sports, a good pre-workout supplement helps you show up stronger and push harder with each session.

WHAT ARE PRE-WORKOUT SUPPLEMENTS?

Pre-workout supplements are dietary supplements that aren’t just energy boosters, they are performance boosters. Pre-workout supplements are specially formulated, fast-acting, performance-boosting ingredients designed to enhance energy, focus, and endurance to help you power through your workouts.

Pre-workout supplements typically contain a single ingredient or a mix of ingredients such as caffeine, BCAA, beta-alanine, creatine, and citrulline that work synergistically to improve your performance in the gym.

Whether you’re into strength training, doing cardio, or training for a sport, Pre-workouts help you get the most out of every rep, set or sprint.

From gym beginners to pro-athletes, Pre-workouts are a go-to tool for anyone serious about results.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PRE-WORKOUT SUPPLEMENTS?

Pre-workouts are designed to address the common barriers to effective training, like low energy feelings, lack of focus, and physical and mental fatigue. For many, fitting in a workout after a long day or early in the morning can feel like a struggle. Whether you want to train at higher intensity, simply stay consistent, show up stronger, or last longer, Pre-workouts offer a convenient and reliable way to elevate your performance.

1.  INCREASE ENERGY LEVELS

The ingredients in Pre-workouts work synergistically to give you a quick energy spike. Creatine, helps in faster regeneration of ATP to fuel the short burst of high-intensity workouts. Caffeine in Pre-workout supplements acts as a powerful stimulant that blocks adenosine (a neurotransmitter that signals fatigue) in the brain. L-Arginine and L-Citrulline, by increasing nitric oxide production, help in faster transportation of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, making you feel less fatigued. 

2.  IMPROVE FOCUS

Pre-workouts help you stay mentally dialled in, increasing alertness, reducing mental fatigue, making it easier to stay on track and maximising your gym sessions. Caffeine in Pre-workouts helps to increase mental alertness, improve reaction time, and increase mental clarity. Beta alanine increases levels of carnosine in the muscles, which helps to buffer the lactic acid build-up and delay the onset of muscle fatigue. Creatine can increase energy levels; help you stay mentally focused during workouts.

3.  DECREASE MUSCLE FATIGUE

Muscle fatigue sets in when your muscles start losing power, endurance, and efficiency, either from the buildup of lactic acid, lack of oxygen, or due to depleted energy stores. The power ingredients in Pre-workouts help counter the burnout feeling that sets in halfway through your workout and decrease muscle fatigue by supporting energy production, improving blood flow, buffering lactic acid, and maintaining electrolyte balance.

Beta alanine decreases muscle fatigue by reducing carnosine levels. Creatine reduces muscle fatigue by helping to replenish ATP faster. Citrulline delays fatigue by boosting oxygen and nutrient supply to muscles. BCAA boosts endurance, prevents muscle breakdown, and reduces muscle fatigue.

4.  IMPROVE MUSCLE PUMPS

One of the satisfying effects of training is the muscle pump – the full, tight feeling in your muscles when blood rushes in during intense exercise. Pre-workouts help take your workouts to the next level and achieve those most sought-after muscle pumps.

Citrulline and Arginine increase nitric oxide production, allowing more blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the muscle tissue, resulting in full, pumped-up muscles.

Creatine contributes to pumped-up muscles by cell volumization.

5.  INCREASE STRENGTH & POWER

Pre-workouts give your muscles the fuel and support they need to increase strength and power output they need to perform at a higher level.

Creatine helps replenish ATP that contributes to explosive, high-intensity efforts.

Caffeine leads to improved reaction time and stronger muscle activation.

Beta alanine reduces lactic acid buildup and allows your muscles to perform at a high level for longer.

Citrulline and Arginine improve nitric oxide production and support sustained power output during sets.

L-Carnitine boosts muscle energy by improving fat metabolism.
