Kjøp deg koffeinpiller, beta-alanine,citrulline malate, kreatin monohydrat, BCAA og bland selv. Mer effektive doser kontra "proprietary blends" hvor du ikke vet hvor mye du får av hver ingrediens, samt at det blir billigere og varer lengre.
100-200 mg koffein
5-10 g BCAA
5-8 g Citrulline malate
3-6 g beta-alanine (denne kan med fordeles fordeles på 2-4 doser i løpet av dagen)
3-6 g kreatin monohydrate
Her har du ingredienser som er backet opp av forskning og som har vist seg å være effektive.
