You might be getting sick of all these hyphens, but we guarantee you\u2019ll never get sick of dominating your workout.<\/p>\n<p>Intra-workout nutrition has become a bit of a myth and the industry is full of controversy about this one \u2013 but we think its pretty simple: give yourself the best, most comprehensive fuel.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll see better performance and long-term results for the time you put into fuelling your hard work.<\/p>\n<h2>Why you Need an Intra-Workout<\/h2>\n<p>Intra-workout is just another way of referring to the stuff you do while you\u2019re in the gym (or anywhere else you break a sweat).<\/p>\n<p>Intra-workout nutrition is the stuff you eat and drink during your workout to provide you with the nutrients and energy you need to keep crushing it. It\u2019s about putting good stuff back into your body when exercise takes it out.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re on a long training session, or its feeling particularly hard today, then it\u2019s possible you\u2019re just under-fuelled. This isn\u2019t just about calories, either: you\u2019ll see some real performance drop-offs if you\u2019re under-carbed, dehydrated or deficient in your micronutrients.<\/p>\n<p>When you push yourself, you burn up essential nutrients and sweat out important minerals, so your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/sports-nutrition\/intra-workout.html\">intra-workout supplements<\/a> need to keep you sharp and replenish anything you\u2019ve lost.<\/p>\n<h2>5 Essential Intra-Workout Supplements<\/h2>\n<p>We aren\u2019t just going to list the best products for your intra-workout nutrition, we\u2019re going to give you all the \u201cwhy\u201d so you know what you\u2019re getting and what it\u2019s going to do for you.<\/p>\n<h3>1.) Instant BCAA<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/sports-nutrition\/amino-acids\/bcaa\">BCAAs<\/a> are a group of the most important amino acids, essential for the building and maintenance of your muscles. These key compounds are essential for recovery and performance \u2013 and you\u2019re not going to be able to get them from the chicken breast when you\u2019re in the gym (because that\u2019s weird).<\/p>\n<p>Instant BCAAs are water-soluble and designed to be rapidly-absorbing. This means they\u2019re going to get into your system rapidly and provide the ideal balance of key amino acids when they\u2019re needed most.<\/p>\n<h3>2.) PeptoPro\u00ae<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/peptopro.html\">PeptoPro\u00ae<\/a> is all about rapidly replenishing the proteins your body needs to keep the muscles and joints healthy while you\u2019re using them. This will kick-start your recovery and ensure that you\u2019re getting stronger the moment you step out of the gym.<\/p>\n<p>We put this product together with the specific aim of refuelling while you train: it has the fasted-absorbing protein content on the market and provides a complete protein source using rapidly-digesting amino acids.<\/p>\n<h3>3.) ENDURE\u2122<\/h3>\n<p>With a mixture of PeptoPro\u00ae&#8217;s rapid digestion BCAAs and our Vitargo carbohydrate complex, ENDURE\u2122 is a complete choice and covered under Informed Sport. This means that you\u2019re getting the perfect combination of carbohydrates and protein to fuel your recovery.<\/p>\n<p>The carbohydrates in enduring are designed to be rapidly digested and replace the carbohydrate-energy you\u2019ve used in your workout. This improves performance and allows you to keep going when things start getting tough!<\/p>\n<h3>4.) Complete Intra Workout\u2122<\/h3>\n<p>This is exactly what it sounds like: an intra-workout supplement that covers all your bases.<\/p>\n<p>With a combination of BCAAs, Nitrogen-boosting Citrulline and muscle-building glutamine, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/complete-intra-workout.html\">Complete Intra-Workout\u2122<\/a> is your one-stop supplement for your performance needs.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to mean better performance, better recovery and (according to our happy customers) reduced DOMS!<\/p>\n<h3>5.) Complete Hydration Drink\u2122<\/h3>\n<p>Hopefully, you\u2019re already drinking water when you train to keep yourself healthy. However, water alone isn\u2019t going to offer the best hydration and you\u2019re missing out on an easy way of improving performance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/complete-hydration-drink.html\">Complete Hydration Drink\u2122<\/a>\u00a0is a simple, scientific approach to maximising your performance and hydration during a workout.<\/p>\n<p>With a mixture of fast-absorbing sugars, electrolytes, vitamins and protein, you\u2019re going to refuel on-the-go.

You\u2019re also going to need the electrolytes and vitamins found in the Complete Hydration Drink\u2122!<\/p>\n<p>These replenish the essential nutrients you lost during your workout and keep you fuelled up. The electrolytes boost hydration which is going to be key if you\u2019re running marathons, rowing your hands off or hitting the bike.<\/p>\n<h3>The Best Intra-Workout for Building Muscle<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re in the gym to get more muscular and chase a pleasing physique, you\u2019re going to want to keep your carbs and proteins up quickly. The energy system for the classical hypertrophy training (anywhere between 6 and 12 reps) is all about carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for carbohydrates, and fast, then you\u2019re going to want ENDURE\u2122: a supplement designed to deliver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/sports-nutrition\/amino-acids\">BCAAs<\/a> and carbs as fast as possible.
