Pre Workout
Description
Training sessions are where the stimulus for the body to get bigger and stronger is created. Increased stimulus = increased opportunity for muscle growth! Using the appropriate pre workout supplements can help you to train harder which, in turn, creates more stimulus for muscle growth. Pre workout supplements have been shown in numerous scientific studies to help improve your workout performance. They contain different ingredients that work in different ways and have specific benefits; these benefits include reducing muscle breakdown, increasing blood flow, enhancing mental focus as well as providing the energy required to ensure you can train at your best.
In our pre workout & energy range, our nutrition experts have combined all the supplements you need to give you these benefits, ensuring maximum opportunity for muscle growth after every training session. To make the ultimate pre workout and energy supplement, we would recommend taking one or more ingredients from the energy and performance, mental focus and nitric oxide & pump sections - giving you a powerful drink that works on three different levels!
If you’re using pre-workout supplements, be sure to combine them with products from our post workout supplements category, and even our intra workout supplements category for perfect workout nutrition! We’ve formulated a range of products to help you get the best out of your workouts.

Pre-Workout Supplements FAQS
Pre-workout supplements refer to any kind of health, fitness or nutritional supplement that is intended to be taken before you start your workout. This can include a range of nutritional supplements including Thermogenics, BCAAs and Creatine, as well as prepared pre-workout supplements which combine numerous ingredients into a single, convenient form.
Pre-workout supplements are intended to provide your body with the nutrition and energy it needs to get through an intense workout session, any time of day. The benefits they provide depend upon the specific ingredients and nutritional supplements involved. Most trainers choose to take pre-workouts to prepare their body for a heavy workout and ensure their body is well-supported before, during and after each session.
Pre-workouts are incredibly popular in the training and fitness world. Creatine, for example, is considered to be a pre-workout supplement and, next to whey protein, it’s probably the most widely-consumed training supplement on the market. Like any other nutritional supplement, pre-workouts are perfectly healthy when consumed according to instructions as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle.
When we call them a pre-workout, we mean pre-workout. As a general rule, it’s a good idea to take your pre-workout at least half an hour before you start training, and no more than an hour before. Some pre-workouts, such as BCAA drinks, are appropriate to mix at the start of your workout and sip gradually throughout your session.
Pre-workout supplements include a wide range of nutritional and fitness supplements, each with their own particular function and intended use. Speaking very broadly, they generally contain ingredients and nutrients intended for use before your workout so you’re prepared for a heavy session, and they come in drink, powder, pill and capsule form.
There are a wide range of pre-workout supplements on the Bulk™ online store. The most common pre-workout supplements that we sell include Thermogenics, Branched Chain Amino Acid supplements, vitamins such as B Vitamins, Caffeine and Taurine. Several types of amino acids are also popular as pre-workout supplements, such as Glycine, L Arginine and Leucine.
Pre-workouts are intended to be taken before your workout, and they’re intended to last throughout your workout, however intense. How long each specific pre-workout supplement lasts depends on the specific ingredients and the way it is taken, but as a general rule, pre-workouts are intended to last between 3 to 6 hours.
There’s no major difference between pre-workout powders vs. pre-workout pills; it mostly comes down to personal preference. The biggest distinction comes down to the form itself. Pre-workout powders are normally dissolved in water and drunk, meaning your body will be able to more quickly absorb them. Tablets, on the other hand, may take a little longer for your body to absorb, but they’re great if you don’t like the taste of pre-workouts.
It's not commonly recommended to take a pre workout everyday. Though, the question here should really be why you wouldn't, not why you shouldn't. Pre-workouts should ideally be taken when you feel you will get the most benefit from it in terms of athletic performance. Consistently consuming high-caffeine drinks will result in a build up of tolerance, which is the opposite effect we're trying to achieve when taking a pre-workout.
