The best pre-workout is the one that suits your caffeine tolerance and the time of day you train. Here is how to pick one, and where to buy it in Ringwood.
Step 1: check the caffeine
Food Standards Australia New Zealand has assessed up to 400 mg of caffeine a day, and up to 210 mg in a single dose, as not associated with adverse effects for healthy adults who are not pregnant. Add up your coffee, energy drinks and pre-workout before you choose a strength.
Step 2: pick your type
- High stim: for experienced users who train early. See high stim pre-workout.
- Everyday strength: a moderate dose for most sessions. See all pre-workout, such as Gold Standard Pre Workout.
- Stim free: pump and focus without caffeine, good for night training. See non-stim pre-workout.
Step 3: read the label
Look for a label that lists the amount of every ingredient per serve, rather than a blend with one total. Then you know exactly what you are taking.
Using it sensibly
- Start with half a serve to see how you go.
- Do not stack it with other caffeine products.
- Avoid it late in the day if it affects your sleep.
- Not for under 18s, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
