What’s in your water bottle at the gym?

@kmman I either have water or redcon1 “canteen” electrolytes

 

[r4g]

@kmman Either water , water and protein powder or iced coffee from Panera (sip club member ) and protein powder )

@kmman Water is in my water bottle.

 

[mountainpine]

@kmman Pre workout (need the kick at 4:30 am). Once I finish that, then it’s plain water, then after I finish lifting, I add a scoop of BCAAs and drink that during my cardio.

 

[leebird]

@kmman Electrolytes and beta-alanin

 

[qraz]

@kmman just water.. but sometimes i put lemon in it so it's more refreshing )

 

[tohimbetheglory]

@kmman Water. Water with Mio (could be the kind w/ electrolytes or not). Sometimes clear protein, depending on whether I need that extra 20g that day or not.

 

[voltek]

@kmman Powered Gatorade zero.

 

[anitalouise]

@kmman maltodextrin. (intra-workout supplement) it's basically sugar for the muscles. im caffeine-sensitive, so i cant take any energy boosting supplements. regular sugar actually drains + dehydrates me. for some reason, maltodextrin pumps me up! so i consider that to be my "energy" workout mix lol

@anitalouise Sugar for the muscles

 

[anitalouise]

@hopelesslyarminian ya that's probably fake news But that's how it feels for me. It goes straight into making me feel like I want to break brick walls

My muscles just want to feel themselves and I don't care what else I feel, pain, cuts, bleeding or whatever. They just want to Go

 

[zongerfield]

@kmman I like whiskey

 

[marybeth]

@kmman I been putting lemon slices In mine lately. Makes a world of difference for taste

 

[milleyvanilli]

@kmman I like FitAid powder during my WOD

 

[repelsteeltjie]

@kmman For me it’s water. Almost always water.

Rare occasion and if I don’t have enough carbs for the day I’ll treat myself with a Gatorade.

Don’t overthink intraworkout nutrition. No offense, but you’re not advanced enough to care about such things.

Water
Maybe carbs if you’re short
Caffeine.
Creatine I’m any of those is also fine.

Any of those are fine. Nearly everything else is snake oil.

 

[tmfavour]

@kmman I like to splash some zero calorie mio in there

 

[sacral]

@kmman For longer workouts (75+ minutes), I use Liquid IV. It's just water for everything else.

 

[ljhope]

@kmman Mio Energy & water

 

[born2servegod]

@kmman My gyms water tastes better than my home water so I bring several bottles and fill up. Gimme that good water.

@kmman Water, bro.

Time is better spent doing work, not trying to reinvent the wheel.

Humans require hydration (water) and fuel (food), anything else is just a distraction! For those pushing the limits, some food boosters (extra protein, extra creatine, couple key micronutrients) can be helpful, but even that is just icing.

The cake is hard work + water + sleep + food = results.
