PHD Nutrition : Pre-Wkt Perform Pre-Workout

PhD Nutrition's latest pre-workout for fuelling performance Pre-Wkt Perform features at least one new ingredient we have not seen too often, certainly not in UK brands' preworkouts, as well as a formula which features doses shown in research to deliver peformance gains.

Simple but Effective Formulation

In keeping with their brand ethos, PhD have eschewed high doses of exotic stimulants, in fact Pre-Wkt Perform keeps the caffeine content at just 100mg per serving. Instead, PhD have built their formula around three key ingredients - creatine, beta-alanine, and Peak O2. 

The first of these is simply the most popular, well researched ergogenic of all and the 3g dose in Pre-Wkt Perform is ample for somebody who has already loaded with creatine previously. However, we recommend that anyone using Pre-Wkt Perform must consider that they ought to probably take another creatine supplement to achieve a dose of around 100 grams in 20 days after which the 3g daily dose in Pre-Wkt Perform is ample to keep your body's creatine stores optimal. Creatine itself is ideal for users seeking gains in lean mass or strength.

The second ingredient, beta-alanine has been shown to help buffer lactate build-up which makes this ideal for those who are training in higher rep zones in the gym or else performing some other form of sustained high intensity activity. 

Last but not least, Peak O2 is an organic certified patented ingredient which is actually six different forms of ayurvedic mushroom strains. While mushrooms might not be obviously performance enhancing, Peak O2 has considerable research showing that it can improve power and endurance in as little as 7 days making it perfect for a preworkout.

One for Beginners and Those Wanting Less Stimulants

Having tried this a few times now we can tell stimulant junkies to expect a noticeably less uplifting preworkout, certainly compared to hardcore preworkouts such as Frenzy, Hydrazine or Kraken. Despite that, this is not to be dismissed by the hardcore user and certainly makes a sensible choice when cycling off something so strong. On the other hand, for lighter weight, stimulant sensitive types, as well as those who train in the evening, Pre-Wkt Perform fits the bill in every way with the exception of a lack of pump ingredients. However, for non-bodybuilders wanting to minimise muscle pumps that may not be a bad thing.
