Has anyone taken preworkout while skiing? I’m thinking about it but i’m not sure if it would really make anything different.

I used to double scoop cheap stuff when I was the 15 year old who wore sweatshirts under a bib but yerbas are the way to go

Are you forcing yourself to do exhausting runs or something? When most people get tired they just get off the mountain.

I do energy drinks for caffeine on hill. Preworkout just made me itchy and sweaty

I usually take prework out at lunch as like an energy booster bc im usually hella tired from skiing a bunch of laps. But never take it in the morning or else you'll be acting like a crackhead and have to poo.

Non-stim supplements are the move, I usually just bcaa it up afterwards. I avoid consuming anything unless I ride for over 3 hours but sometimes I make it a point to moisten up

I've done it when I'm too lazy to make coffee. It is much better for touring than skiing at a resort

used to do two scoops in a full nalgene. take a few sips every lap and you're on fire all day.

most of the season when I'd ski after work, I'd do a 100mg of caffeine with beta alanine mixed into the formulation. def would have to shit before skiing, but the session would fired up

The Beta-alanine, creatine, and heart-rate-increasing chemicals found in a lot of pre workouts are good for anaerobic exercise. Skiing is aerobic and therefore unless you want to have a stroke or heart attack on the mountain it is not advisable for you to take it. or do. I don't care. Its a free country.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about… If you are winded then that means your body requires more oxygen which means you’ve been doing aerobic exercise. Unless you hold your breath while you ski or something.

Anyway… the issue with taking preworkout to ski isn’t so much that you won’t see much benefit from b alanine and creatine and moreso that it could increase your heart rate to a point outside of your healthy range.

You can reach a point in your activity level where your muscles are requiring more oxygen than they can get, then they enter the anaerobic regime. If you are skiing down a mogul run with huge bumps and not taking breaks, especially if you're not in insane shape, you'll definitely get anaerobic exercise. Jumping off the lift and skiing really hard for 5-10 minutes all day long is a great anaerobic workout if you keep the intensity up. If you are skiing more mellow, you probably aren't reaching that level of intensity, hence why I'm calling you out

I’ve tried pre-workout while skiing, and honestly, it was a mixed bag. Last season, I hit the slopes at Whistler after taking my usual pre-workout that I use for the gym. It definitely gave me a bit of an energy boost and kept me focused during the runs, but I also noticed I got thirsty quicker, which was a bit annoying since skiing isn’t exactly stop-and-sip friendly. If you decide to try it, I’d recommend starting with half a scoop to see how your body handles it. Also, make sure you stay hydrated—it’s easy to forget when you’re out in the cold.

By the way, if you’re looking for good quality supplements, steroidscanada.is has some solid options. I’ve ordered from them before, and they’ve been reliable, which is a huge plus when trying something new.
