In bodybuilding, the practice of taking special tools that allow you to quickly dry, make training more productive, as well as "catch up" muscle mass. The problem is that when people buy such drugs, they see only the result, without weighing the pros and cons. What should be known to both amateurs and professional athletes who decide to take pre-workout complexes? What should be prepared for?
What it is?
"Pre-workout complexes" is a drug that allows you to improve and extend your workout, to make it more productive. Relate this tool to sports nutrition, which should contain a number of complexes necessary for the rapid restoration of muscles and their growth.
Such funds are very relevant for bodybuilders, and therefore are very popular. And if the professionals of this sport know for sure what should be in the preparation, then amateurs will not always be able to or will want to understand the action of this or that substance, starting the reception without consulting a doctor and trainer. As a result, the complex is either ineffective, or even harmful.
Pre-workout complexes. Content
It is for those who belong to the category of "lovers", we will write the average composition of such a drug. It usually includes:
- Creatine.
- BCAA.
- Arginine.
- Vitamins, minerals.
- Caffeine.
- Geranamine.
- Taurine.
- Beta Alanine
Creatine is not a vital substance in training. But at the same time, it is usually added with the aim that, together with other complexes contained in the preparation, it is delivered faster and more efficiently to the "destination". Specialists identified pre-workout complexes with this substance in a special group called "creatine with a transport system."
BCAAs are amino acids that inhibit catabolism. They are necessary for muscle training. With strength training, they excellently nourish the muscles. Arginine increases pumping and nourishes all the same muscles. Beta-Alanine is a muscle antioxidant and reducing agent.
Vitamins and minerals are needed to replenish reserves, which, when training, which are stressful to the body, are depleted. It should be understood that the additional intake of vitamins "on the side" will not bring to good.
Caffeine, taurine and geranamine are substances that stimulate the body and increase performance. Moreover, the second has a much stronger effect on the body. Together, they can cause a stroke and a lot of side effects.

In addition, among side effects, headaches, high blood pressure and temperature, nosebleeds, tinnitus or nasal congestion can be observed. By the way, pre-workout complexes, reviews of which can be found everywhere, are especially dangerous for people over forty.
