Pre-workout options without caffeine, for evening training, caffeine-sensitive lifters and anyone who prefers to keep their coffee separate. The range includes 10X Athletic PUMP, citrulline from OstroVit and Trec, Trec AAKG and L-Arginine Xtreme, and Snap beetroot powders, stick packs and gummies.
A non-stim pre-workout lets you have the pre-training drink without a caffeine dose. It suits late sessions, people who already drink plenty of coffee and anyone who finds stimulants make them jittery. Because there is no caffeine, you can also add a coffee separately and control the amount yourself. Always read the label: a few pump blends listed alongside these contain caffeine.
