JJ Virgin shares her pre-gym supplement stack: a chia blend with creatine HCL, taurine, and magnesium for harder training and faster recovery; electrolytes adjusted by whether she's fasted or fed; and Peak Life green tea as her caffeine source throughout the day.
Here's what I take with me to the gym, and I'm going to show each thing and why I do it. So obviously the first thing is going to be my Chia Teen with creatine HCL, taurine, and magnesium. Why? This helps me work out harder and recover better. Next up, electrolytes. I'm sweating a lot. You want to make sure that you don't lose too much of your minerals. Here's the reality with these: if I'm working out first thing in the morning and I'm not eating, I'm going to do a whole scoop of these. But if I'm only working out in the day, maybe a little bit away from a meal, I'm not as worried about I've got good aminos on board. And then here's the magic bullet. This is Peak Life Green Tea. This is amazing. It's fermented. It's a powerhouse. It's a great way to get in that caffeine. So I'm always trying to get in my green tea throughout the day. And taking it to the gym and getting that caffeine boost, even better. So there you have it. Let's go.
