If you're reading this I wager you can imagine the first time you took one, and there's a good chance you were hurrying around the gym with what seemed like a never ending energy and drive. You felt inspired, happy, and unyielding. Then what came? One day, it simply didn't feel quite the exact same right? You took your regular one scoop, and waited ... but didn't feel anything. So you decide to double, and even triple up. Next thing you know, no quantity of magic powder is assisting you anymore, it even makes you feel more worn out than before you used it.

Many individuals find themselves in this position, and it can be very frustrating and perplexing. How is this making me feel more worn out than I would without taking it? My point with this write-up isn't really to inform you to stop utilizing pre-workout supplements; I personally love them! I'm here to show you how making a few smart decisions can go a long way here. This will assist you to keep your speed at the gym, and have the ability to take advantage of these supps for years to come.

So why are you getting so tired?

Most of these include a quite huge dose of caffeine together with some other stimulants like Yohimbe extract and others. The recently eliminated 1 3 dimethylamylamine (DMAA) component was also a big factor in producing the crash we're talking about, but it has actually been prohibited nowadays. Basically, when you take in stims, it sends a message to your brain to release adrenaline and cortisol into the blood stream. These are both produced by the adrenal glands. In a sense, you can think of those as 2 little fuel cells for our bodies (one is located on each kidney).

When you start taking more and more caffeine, you begin to make these glands work longer and harder, but they can only offer so much fuel each and every day. So, by consistently working these glands with consistent caffeine intake, it doesn't provide the body sufficient time to renew and replenish those fuel cells. So how do you keep them topped up?

By "Cycling" your pre-workout supplement!

If you can limit yourself to taking your supplement for fairly short cycles of in between 4-6 weeks, followed by 1-2 weeks of really reduced stimulant consumption - this will enable your adrenal glands to fully recover and get your routine back on track. During this week, you'll should remain sturdy, which I understand can be difficult. This indicates no party drugs, energy drinks, fat burners, or anything else you can think of with caffeine in it. Some individuals (me too) like to make the most of stimulant free pre-wo's right here as well. This can result in some withdrawal signs like minor headaches, anxiety, stress and reduced energy levels, however it will be worth it. You'll get to experience your first time all over again.

 Does Caffeine Help With Exercising?

If you're like me, you're probably always on the look out for that little something to give you an energy boost; like coffee or a pre-workout. To tell the truth, I've had a supplement turn what would've been an awful workout into a great one. My favorite? Definitely pre-workouts. They're fun, easy, and safe to use if used correctly. Here are a few things that caffeine can help you with during exercise.

Fat Burner

Interesting Fact... Studies have shown that when caffeine is used prior to working out, it makes your body much more likely to target fat cells to use a fuel, than it would without the caffeine. It does so by having your body skip over glycogen as a energy source and head right for that persistent fat. That, in addition to it to your improved metabolism and its tested activity as a powerful hunger suppressant. For the majority of individuals caffeine is most likely the most effective fat burner on the market today. Make certain to take yours around 45 mins before arriving working out to make the best of it.

 

Improved Muscular Endurance

Yes caffeine won't just have your eyes wide open, it also helps to delay muscle fatigue and soreness. This translates into the ability to punch out even more reps or go even longer.

Increased Focus 

200mg or more of high levels of caffeine (which is the typical dosage in most pre-workout supplements) can give immense changes in your ability to stay on track. More concentration leads to a much better workout or game if you're taking part in an athletic contest. Usually, the mental aspect of any workout or game, is at least half the battle.

Increased Energy

Here's the aspect most people are already aware of. More energy. So not only can it get rid of the cob webs in the morning with a cup of coffee, it helps to get your body energized as well. If you've tried it, you know the diofference between a workout without caffeine, and one with it.

Some suggestions...

The main difference between coffee and a pre-workout supplement would be that its hard to tell how much caffeine your getting from cup to cup with coffee. Whereas pre-workout's typically have a very descriptive label allowing you to see exactly how much you should need or like to take.
