4 Benefits of Non-Stim Pre-Workouts

4 Benefits of Non-Stim Pre-Workouts

When you look at the market today and walk into any local supplement retailer where you live, what do you see flooding the shelves?  Pre-workouts.  It’s THE HOTTEST category and has been for many years.  Everyone wants the pre-workout with the most hype behind it, something hardcore, a product that everyone at the gym is using.  But what do most of them have in common?  They’re full of stimulants.  While I’m not here to demonize stimulants, as they have their place, what I want to do is discuss four benefits of non-stim pre-workouts to give you the “other side of the story” that needs to be heard.  Maybe it will change your mind and cause you to rethink things and make the switch?

 

1. Enhance Blood Flow

If you've ever tried one of the non-stim pre-workouts out on the market today, you know exactly what I'm talking about.  The vasodilation ingredients in non-stim pre-workouts are absolutely bonkers – in a good way.  Loading up a formula with ingredients like arginine, arginine-alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG), FitNOX, S7, agmatine sulfate, citrulline malate, Nitrosigine, among others can produce some of the most insane pumps you’ll ever experience.  I’m talking sleeve-tearing craziness that hurts oh so good.

The production of nitric oxide and vasodilation allows not only nutrients, but water and blood to flood into the muscles and provide you with the fullness you’re looking for during your workouts.  Additionally, depending on how low your body fat levels are, you can find roadmaps of veins running all over your body, increasing your vascularity and enhancing that “freak factor” so many wish to achieve.

 

2. No Crash or Side Effects

The most common stimulant found in pre-workouts today is caffeine.  The dosages can be low (under 100mg) or they can be as high as 400mg per serving.  While some love the feeling they get from stimulants, they also tend to come with some noticeable side effects that aren't so great such as insomnia, racing heart rate and breathing, nervousness, stomach issues, nausea, and even vomiting.

When you compare non-stim pre-workouts to those who include them, you may find an increase in energy from both.  However, the downside to those loaded up with caffeine can be the without-warning crash you get.  Sure, that ride on the way up is a fun one where you feel unstoppable, but when you’re going 200mph and slam into a wall you’re left wondering what the heck just happened.  The crash you experience following stimulants could be enough to, quite-frankly, ruin the rest of your day.  You’re lethargic, unmotivated, and could even find yourself in a brain fog.

The benefit of non-stim pre-workouts is that you can achieve a nice steady and stable form of natural energy without any of the crazy side effects.  Something else to take note of is when you consume stimulants, it can cause adrenal fatigue.  You may have noticed when taking your pre-workout that you started with one scoop but now need two or even three to get the same feeling.  That’s due to the stimulants fatiguing your adrenal glands.

For the risk/reward balance, it makes sense why so many people are now tipping the scale on the side of non-stim pre-workouts.

 

3. Better Focus

Generally speaking, most pre-workouts on the market are high in caffeine content.  While caffeine does have some focus benefits, it tends to be in lower dosages.  The higher you get in caffeine and stimulant dosages, the more risk you run of some of the negative side effects like anxiety and nervousness – both of which can zap your focus and concentration.

Non-stim pre-workouts are great when cognitive ingredients such as nootropics are added.  These ingredients have the ability to help get you dialed in not only in the gym but outside of the gym as well.  For the sake of utilizing this as a pre-workout supplement, what this can do for you is help you achieve a solid mind-muscle connection.  This allows you to truly focus on contracting the muscle fibers and getting the most out of each repetition and set.

When you have heightened focus in the gym, you can see much better results from your training.  Many times with heavy-stim products, you feel invincible and wind up loading up the weight and bringing other muscles into the movement which is counterproductive to what you are trying to achieve.  When you are dialed in and feeling each rep from the use of non-stim pre-workouts, you can effectively tear down the muscle fibers of the muscle group you are working so that you can then give them the proper rest and nutrition needed to grow back bigger and stronger (hypertrophy).

 

4. Increase Endurance and Recovery

The harder and further you can push yourself in the gym, the greater your results can be.  One protocol that is recommended to help build quality lean muscle mass is progressive overload.  This is where each and every workout, you attempt to push your body further than you did the previous workout.  This can be through adding additional weight, adding additional sets, or adding additional reps.  Through the help of non-stim pre-workouts, you can do just that.

There are several key ingredients added to non-stim pre-workouts that help enhance your endurance and recovery such as amino acids (EAAs and BCAAs), beta-alanine, electrolytes, betaine, beet root, and sodium bicarbonate to name a few.  When you combine many of these ingredients, you have the potential to achieve compounding results as some of the ingredients work hand-in-hand with each other.

The combination of ingredients found in non-stim pre-workouts can also have a buffering effect when it comes to lactic acid – which is a limiting factor when working out.  Lactic acid buildup is the burning sensation you feel when you lift weights.  When you can increase your recovery and delay fatigue, you can improve your output to help achieve your desired body composition goals.

Are you looking for a great-tasting stim-free pre-workout that can provide you with an increase in strength, energy, and mental focus?  Look no further than Apollon Nutrition Hooligan Bare Knuckle Non-Stim Pre-Workout.  Hooligan Bare Knuckle is a 100% transparent non-stim pre-workout that can help take your workouts to the next level.  Try it today and see for yourself why Apollon Nutrition can’t keep this product on the shelves.  And once you do, you may never go back to pre-workouts containing stimulants ever again.
