Tag: Salt pre workout

According to sports nutritionists, consuming salt pre-workout can potentially enhance muscle pump by improving blood flow and drawing more fluid into muscle cells. So, does salt give you a better pump? The answer is a well-hydrated 'yes', but the mechanism involves more than just adding it to your water bottle.

According to research published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine, triathletes who supplemented with salt-laced water finished a race significantly faster than a control group. This highlights how sodium, the primary component of salt, plays a vital role in athletic performance and can influence a muscle pump by improving hydration and blood flow.
