Supplements are just the thing that could get you over your workout plateau. Perhaps you have been trying to lose those last five stubborn pounds of fat that just won’t seem to go. There are many options in the supplement world that might help you get past that final hump in the road. First there are preworkout shakes. Many preworkouts contain mild stimulants like caffeine. They also almost always include beta alanine and creatine. All three of those ingredients, when dosed properly, are proven to improve focus, endurance, and blood flow to your muscles and in turn you will likely see results in the gym. On the other hand there is post-workout shakes. A typical post-workout shake includes proteins and amino acids and in some cases carbs to refuel glycogen levels after a long workout. Recovery is key in fitness!
