I have had the pre-workout/energy drink conversation with multiple hockey, soccer, and baseball families today...so let me be clear here. 🚨High school & college athletes listen up🚨 If you need a pre-workout for "energy" you likely aren't: ❌Eating enough quality carb or protein ❌Hydrating or drinking sufficient fluid ❌Getting your 7-9 hours of sleep ❌Eating enough overall calories to support training & recovery demands Consuming the level of caffeine ( 120-300 mg +) in pre-workouts, energy drinks like: ✖️Celsius ✖️Bang ✖️C4 ✖️Red bull ✖️Prime On a regular basis is extremely harmful to your health. Too much caffeine (> 200+ mg ) in one dose or in a short period of time can lead to: ❌Heart palpations ❌Anxiety & mood disorders ❌Poor appetite = inability to consume enough kcal ❌Depression & poor sleep (caffeine has a 6 hour half life and it will still be in your system at bed time if you consume in the afternoon/evening) Pre-workouts/caffeine can't replace the fundamentals. Back to the basics with real food.
