3Carb-
“I’m a big believer in using carbohydrates strategically to support and enhance performance. 3Carb is appealing for two reasons: it is probably the only carbohydrate I’d advocate in the pre-workout window, and it gives me that extra push in the gym I sometimes need during periods of very strict clean-eating (no dairy/whey, gluten, soy, added sugars).”

3FU3L-

“I didn’t want to like 3Fu3l. The idea of taking a whey hydrolysate and carbohydrate in the pre-workout window was completely backwards to me. Fats are conventionally thought of as slower-burning fuel, whereas carbohydrates can be utilized relatively quickly. 3Fu3l flips this on its head. By offering the unique combination of quick-burning fatty acids (MCT) and slow-burning carbs (3Carb), and thus promoting rather than stunting fat-burning during your workout, this grass-fed whey supplement is well-suited for the pre-workout window. After giving it a fair trial, I came away an avid user and can truly say it has notably enhanced my performance more than any other supplement I have ever taken. For me, drinking a pre-workout shake before my workout is stronger motivation than putting on your workout clothes; once I drink it, it’s go time.”
