ATHLEAN-X on Instagram here - Pre-workout supplements are among the top three most used supplements by those that work out and take their training seriously. In this video, I-m going to show you the best pre-workout ingredients and which you should be looking for if you are going to look to benefit from a supplement prior to training. This battle pits L-Arginine vs. Citrulline Malate as to which is the better pre workout supplement ingredient. Both of these are chosen for their ability to provide muscle pumps during training, with the Citrulline Malate giving you the additional benefit of improved muscular endurance and power. When it comes to the pump however, it is important to first understand that this is not a totally benign effect meant to feed your ego while you train. The muscle pump has the effect of delivering more blood and water to the working muscles, allowing them to train harder by helping to keep them hydrated while removing muscle waste product more efficiently. That said, the way these ingredients work is through their effect on nitric oxide. Nitric oxide has a vasodilation effect on your arterial walls that are feeding your skeletal muscles. When the nitric oxide relaxes the arteries you get increased flow of blood to the working muscles and the pump is increased. That said, arginine has a significant problem when it comes to effectively leading to the production of nitric oxide and that is that when taken orally it becomes subject to much more breakdown than citrulline malate. L-Arginine is not efficiently converted to nitric oxide because it becomes susceptible to the arginase enzyme in the digestive tract and liver. This leaves you with far less assimilation of the original arginine that you thought you were taking. This can happen at up to a 70-99% percent loss depending on other health factors like cholesterol levels. On the other hand, citrulline bypasses the gut and liver and converts much more readily to arginine. From here it can be converted to nitric oxide at a much more efficient clip. In fact, many studies suggest that you can get up to a 300% higher net absorption of nitric oxide via this pathway than the previous. Additionally, the citrulline in it-s citrulline malate form is even more beneficial because it provides additional energy for better muscle endurance. The malic acid bound to the L-Citrulline feeds the Krebs Cycle which lets you produce more cellular ATP (the metabolic currency of energy. For a pre-workout backed by sports science with no proprietary blends, be sure to use what the pros use and head to to get the ATHLEAN-Rx supplements. Our pre-workout, post-workout, muscle recovery stack is the one counted on by serious lifters to maximize the gains they see from their hard training

All this muscle-building supplementation is beyond confusing! And I've been studying Natural Health and Health supplements for over 40 years! I think I'll just stick to mental/emotional means to build muscle mass to the max. just steer clear altogether of all these strange supplements that nobody can seem to agree on for being worthwhile or not. (Seems like a giant profit making industry to me, anyway! So much money being wasted unnecessarily, for most)
All you have to do is eat a solid, HEALTHY, WHOLESOME diet that is right for YOUR body. Then tap into your extreme desire to have the muscular body of your dreams. Further, utilize mental and emotional visualization, affirmations, and online hypnosis videos to actualize that dream muscled body! -Man becomes what he thinks about! - Remember to use your most valuable resources: A sincere, burning desire, mental visualization (the body follows the mind, FEELING what it would be like to have your new, awesomely muscular body, commitment to your intention, and persistence!

Beets cause an extreme increase in Nitric Oxide. I buy Organic Beet Root Juice for $20 and Beet Root Powder for $10. I mix 2 shots of the juice and 2 tea spoons of the powder with a glass of water and drink. I then take a Arginine/Ornithine combo pill and i take a Citrulline pill. Thats enough to increase your Nitric Oxide levels. I give them about an hour or so to take effect then weight train.
Folks Arginine is short lived. It releases N. O. but then its gone that fast. Citrulline keeps converting into Arginine thus feeding ur body the N. O. slowly and longer duration.
ARGININE, ORNITHINE, CITRULLINE, BEET ROOT EXTRACT

How about L-glutamine, claims its an amino acid, increases protein synthesis and reduces protein breakdown to help build muscle. But I read stuides that actually say. Glutamine only seems to enhance muscle building in those with muscle-wasting disease or physical trauma, such as burns or puncture wounds. In healthy individuals, the intestines seem to get -first dibs- on any extra glutamine. In other words, the intestines grab glutamine before the muscles can get it. This leads to increased protein synthesis in the gut, which can protect the intestines from foreign invaders and possibly reduce symptoms of stomach discomfort.

Thank you for your awesome videos Jeff, you are my inspiration! Can you please do a video on how to deal with loose skin? I've been able to develop a six pack following your program but there is still some loose skin around my belly button with stretch marks that i don't know how to deal with, same thing around my thighs and butt. Again its not allot but enough to be visible and annoying. Pleaseee and thank you: )

Jeff, another great video! What Confuses me is so many supplements, taken at different times, when we all train at different periods in the day/week. It would be great to get a simple diary, what to take and when to take it, IE protein shake it meal one hour before you train, creatine 40 minutes before you train, pre workout 15 minutes before, etc. is this possible? Thanks Jeff the Heff!

Definitely more vids like this one! I've been growing a bit more suspicious of certain preworkouts. The newest one I'm taking is an improved version of one I took prior, but I noticed they added Niacin to it which produces a flushing/tingling effect in some people. Wondering if part of the reason for adding it was to make it seem like it -works- better than the prior formula.

can you cover when the right time to take creatine is? or just about creatine in general? I've tried to do some extensive research on creatine. some say to take it right before workout, some say it doesn't matter. in fact, i've read an article that said the whole -take it before workout to benefit your workout- is a myth and that that is not how creatine works.

Hey jeff and anyone who can help my case. Anyways im 16 years old and im a skinny guy and i'm suffering from a head leaning forward posture, and in my back i got this bone that is completely exposed and it looks really unusual even when i lift my head and try to fix my posture its still showing. Can anyone help me? if you got any ideas please tell me.
reply

Most popular pre-workout supplements have both L-arginine and citrulline malate in their formulae. Is there any benefit to that composition? Like, that L-arginine molecules that actually pass through enterocytes into bloodstream will help synthesize more citruline, which is already in increased quantity at our bodies?
reply

I am totally with you when it comes to science and what has been studied to be more efficient and effective. However, I had a chance to tryout both products each separately for a decent duration and the result was way better in the advantage of Arginine, and that from my practical experience of what works for me more.
