Pre-workout supplements serve to optimise your training by providing additional energy, focus, endurance, and performance benefits. Different types of workouts require different pre-workout ingredients and effects to maximise results. 

Why You Might Need a Pre-Workout

• Enhanced Energy & Endurance: Push through fatigue and sustain high-intensity effort.
• Increased Focus: Stay mentally sharp and motivated during your session.
• Improved Performance: Lift heavier, do more reps, or train longer.
• Faster Recovery: Some ingredients aid in reducing muscle soreness and recovery.
• Reduced Fatigue: Delay the onset of tiredness and exhaustion.
• Motivation & Consistency: Consistent pre-workout use can help establish a routine.

Pre-Workout for Different Workout Purposes

1. CrossFit & High-Intensity Functional Training

  • Adequate energy (stimulants like caffeine for quick energy).
  • Focus and mental clarity for complex movements.
  • Good pump and endurance support.
• Ideal Ingredients: Coffee caffeine, beta-alanine (for endurance), citrulline malate (for pump), and perhaps teaCrine (clean stimulant).

2. Bodybuilding & Hypertrophy Training

• Goals: Max strength, muscle pump, and hypertrophy.
• Pre-Workout Needs:
  • Focused energy for lifting heavier reps.
  • Muscle pumps to increase blood flow.
  • Slight mental alertness.
• Ideal Ingredients: Citrulline malate, beta-alanine (reduce fatigue), creatine, and caffeine (for energy). Pump-focused ingredients like vasodilators are beneficial.

3. Cardio & Endurance Workouts

• Goals: Improve stamina and sustain effort over longer periods.
• Pre-Workout Needs:
  • Sustained energy without jitters.
  • Delay fatigue.
  • Hydration support.

• Pre-Workout Needs:
  • Instant energy and explosive power.
  • Focus and mental preparation.
  • Reduce fatigue build-up.
