When you are in the gym for the first time, you can get confused. It is necessary to perform one repetition after another, follow the instructions of the trainer or the program found. Thirsty during the break. What you drink can affect the course of your workout and its results.
Specialty drinks
Taurine drinks can add energy to your actions. Taurine is a vital amino acid that helps accelerate protein synthesis and therefore the growth of muscle cells in the body. Taurine drinks will allow you to set the stage for a high protein intake (not 2, but 3-4 grams per pound of body). Taurine also has contraindications, it is advisable to consult a doctor before using it.
Isotonic drinks are another important group of specialized sports drinks. They consist, as a rule, of three components: water, a carbohydrate mixture and salts, which act as an electrolyte. They can speed up metabolism and speed up all life processes, give an "explosive boost" in training and promote muscle growth by accelerating recovery. However, they also have contraindications. First, people with weak enamel can damage their teeth. It is better for them to drink isotonic drinks through a straw. Secondly, if you use isotonics in large quantities, disturbances in the arterial, cardiovascular system, and sleep disturbances are possible. All indications and dosages are indicated on the sports drink label.
Caffeine
It is better not to drink coffee itself - it helps to reduce metabolism. However, there are many caffeine-based drinks available that can energize your morning workout.
Pu-erh (imperial tea) is a rather extravagant drink for sports training. However, it can help with the elimination of harmful substances during the period of burning fat, gaining muscle mass. If you have a sports diet rich in substances obtained as a result of genetic engineering (gainers, fat burners), then pu-erh will allow you to remove "waste products" from the body.
Green tea can reduce hunger, which can be useful during the "drying" phase, but completely unacceptable for gaining muscle mass.
Water with honey
The composition of water with honey is a low concentration carbohydrate mixture. Natural sugars (fructose and glucose) can have a positive effect on brain function and motivation. In addition, the very taste of the honey mixture contributes to a good mood, a positive charge for work.
Protein shakes
Aspiring bodybuilders often start a sports diet by purchasing large amounts of protein and consuming protein blends multiple times. However, there is a limit to everything: protein assimilation has strict limits. It is advisable to drink a protein shake not at the beginning of a workout, when the body needs energy, but at the end, when protein is required to create cellular connections in damaged muscles.
