What Are Post-Workout Supplements?

Nothing beats the feel of a good pump. But when it comes to capitalizing on all the effort you’ve brought to each workout, nothing leads to bigger gains like a proper recovery.

 

Muscles heal and grow during this crucial period of rest. Following your workouts with appropriate recovery recovery routine allows torn muscle fibers rebuild, replenish, and add mass. There’s a lot that dedicated athletes do to amplify the results of rest and return to the gym fresh and refueled.

 

Following these steps will help you see greater results in less time, with less soreness and risk of injury.

 

      1. Hydrate – Muscles get stressed during exercising, causing a build up of lactic acid which leads to soreness. Staying hydrated throughout the day, especially after your training, will help flush out lactic acid and get your muscles primed for your next on-day.

      2. Cool down – Whether passive or active, cooling down after weightlifting helps return your heart rate and blood flow to a pre-workout state. Active cool down, such as a light walk or jog is shown to be particularly effective.

      3. Stretch – Your muscles are nice and warm immediately after your workout, which is the perfect time to heal and lengthen them with static stretching. Muscle elongation will aid in muscle growth and help prevent injury from pulling or tearing.

      4. Supplementation – High-quality muscle recovery supplements, like BCAA powder or creatine, speed up muscle growth and recovery. We recommend taking post-workout supplements in addition to meals rich in nutrients, calories, and protein.

      5. Eat right - We’ll say it again. Whole foods are king, and eating a meal with low-fiber complex carbs and easily digestible protein is vital for both gains and overall health. Taking supplements for muscle recovery immediately after a gym session and before your meal or protein shake can help fill in any nutrition gaps.
