Are Shaker Bottles Necessary?

Protein powders, pre-workout, and other pre-workout supplement shakes can be dense. Shaker bottles help break up unnecessary clumps and provide a smoother texture. The bottles also reduce the corners and nooks that can trap unmixed powder.

How do I choose a protein shaker?

Protein shaker bottles should be durable materials with BPA and phthalate-free plastic or glass. Stainless steel options are also great for keeping your drink cold. Look for rounded edges to ensure smooth textures and a durable whisk or mixing grate.

The biggest thing to look for is the right size. If you prefer a drink throughout a workout, you’ll need something bigger. If you’re always on the go, a smaller size could be more convenient to carry. Once you’ve chosen the right bottle, you can get back to what matters most — your health.

Many people seek to get stronger and more able through their strength training workouts, but they may wonder how to build muscle to improve their physique and bulk up. A great method for adding on mass is through hypertrophy training, which is a form of training achieved by using heavier weights during high-volume training.
Although a lot of people assume that you can only build muscle by lifting dumbbells, barbells, or other traditional weighted implements, it's possible to do so with resistance bands as well. Resistance bands provide a low-cost, portable, and convenient way to do at-home strength training workouts for those who can’t afford a gym membership or prefer the convenience, efficiency, and privacy of working out at home.

Man eating before a workout

As in most things in fitness, there is never going to be a one-size-fits-all situation. Whether that's diet, exercise, routines, supplements, habits, the list goes on, just because something works for someone else does not mean it will work for you. A pretty commonly asked question on that fact is whether you should eat before a workout.

First thing, you need to establish which group you fall into. Do you feel fully optimized during your session, either with or without food? Some people feel less sluggish on an empty stomach and love to recover with a feast. Others feel lethargic and struggle throughout without proper fuel. If you're the latter, this article is for you. If you are not sure, try both for a couple of weeks and compare your training performance.
Peak performance
With that being said, eating right before a workout may help you perform at your best. The right foods can give you the strength you need to crush a cardio workout or maximize a strength-training session.
