I have had the pre-workout/energy drink conversation with multiple hockey, soccer, and baseball families today...so let me be clear here.
🚨High school & college athletes listen up🚨
If you need a pre-workout for "energy" you likely aren't:
❌Eating enough quality carb or protein
❌Hydrating or drinking sufficient fluid
❌Getting your 7-9 hours of sleep
❌Eating enough overall calories to support training & recovery demands
Consuming the level of caffeine ( 120-300 mg +) in pre-workouts, energy drinks like:
✖️Celsius
✖️Bang
✖️C4
✖️Red bull
✖️Prime
On a regular basis is extremely harmful to your health.
Too much caffeine (> 200+ mg ) in one dose or in a short period of time can lead to:
❌Heart palpations
❌Anxiety & mood disorders
❌Poor appetite = inability to consume enough kcal
❌Depression & poor sleep (caffeine has a 6 hour half life and it will still be in your system at bed time if you consume in the afternoon/evening)
Pre-workouts/caffeine can't replace the fundamentals. Back to the basics with real food.
GOOD JOB!! Shout out to the schools banning these drinks. Prime doesn't even contain enough sodium to be considered a "hydrating" supplement. Do not use these overhyped dangerous drinks. Eat real food! https://t.co/k9hqNhtf8i
Congrats to Luke Snyder (son of Roberta & Phil) on his excellent @DrexelMLax career! The pride of @Hill_Lacrosse became a shutdown SSDM and often covered the biggest, strongest, & fastest middie. Hope to see #45 in NLL next season. #BandOfBros#WhereItAllBegan 🇨🇦
Thx Mark Hartmann + Jerry & Ellen for their dedication to @DrexelMLax & being great friends with the Clutch ‘Keeper. #16 was a tenacious Faceoff specialist & he & #32 roomed together for 4 yrs. Mark did his last yr in CT & there #32 made 3 great saves in last 90 sec! #🐉
Thx to #48/23 Dan Burnam for being a great friend & teammate of the Clutch ‘Keeper. A member of the legendary Burnam 🥍 tribe, Dan was a star attackman at @IMGAcademy before arriving in Phila. He pushed his teammates to be better & his mom is a hoot to sit with at games!
Congrats to Casey Waller on his excellent @DrexelMLax career. The former @GoodCounselLax & IMG ⭐️ was super quick & often drew a double team that led to dozens of 🏒 assists. He was a good shooter on the run & was pound for pound one of the toughest 🐉’s #🩹🤕
Congrats to Brennan Greenwald on an outstanding career at @DrexelMLax - a 4 yr starter with 98GB/33CTO & a clearing machine. This SoCal native had essentially a perfect academic record & is in final stage of his MBA. It was so much fun to cheer on #35 & the Clutch ‘Keeper
Congrats to @DrexelMLax tri-captain Pat Udovich on his excellent career at Vidas! This 6’2” 215 lb intimidating bruiser burst onto to scene when he neutralized one of the Blue Hens’ ⭐️ attackmen. He was a high school 🏈 star like his Dad; 29 had 55GB & 32CTO. #🐉🔥
