A good pre-WOD is an incredible tool
A good preWOD is an incredible tool for athletes. The increase in focus and energy can turn an average workout into something you want to tell your friends about.
But you’ve also probably met someone who’s getting a little too attached to their preWOD supplement. Most of the time, these people are using low-end supplements that are essentially caffeine and sugar bombs.
Which is the best option for me? Amino, Dysrupt, or Pre-WOD?

No chalk? No problem!
NO CHALK? NO PROBLEM - Unlike other Gymnastic grips that use slick materials like leather, fake carbon fiber leather, suede, or slippery “Diamonds”, which require tons of messy chalk and make you slip off the bar without the need for unsanitary chalk, the brand new Element 26 IsoGrip Gymnastic Grips act like glue, these WOD gloves lock you into the bar even if chalk is no longer allowed, making your movements easier than ever!
Driven Whey™ vs Pro-Fusion Seven™…which whey to go?
With so many delicious proteins to choose from (we have 21), it can be confusing to determine which one is right for you. Let’s take a closer look at two of our most popular proteins — Pro-Fusion Seven™ and Driven Whey™.
Both are really, really tasty and are chock-full of high-quality protein, but they have different formulations and serve different purposes. The following is how we best prescribe their use... (Did we mention how tasty they are?!)
Is your pre-WOD safe? Does it work?
Supplements are part of a billion-dollar industry. All of us need to improve our nutrition by eating whole foods, mostly plants, and not too much. But sometimes, there are still gaps in our nutrition. This is when supplements become important. Some supplements are no-brainers: protein powder, creatine, and a multi-vitamin should be taken by almost everyone. Plus most people are also deficient in vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc.
But do you need to take a pre-workout (pre-WOD) supplement to boost performance, muscle gain, and fat loss? And if so, is your pre-WOD both safe and effective?
14-Day “Get Lean” Meal Plan
The Foundation is Nutrition
Eat meat & vegetables, nuts & seeds, some fruit, little starch & no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard & fast.
Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations & patterns as creativity will allow.
Routine is the enemy.
Keep workouts short & intense. Regularly learn & play new sports.

Why we post bright spots :)
Motivation means desire. The science of motivation is the science of success: Success has to happen before you’ll become motivated; Success has to keep happening; We don’t always recognize success when it happens because we’re pretty hard on ourselves.
The practice of thankfulness doesn’t come naturally to anyone. That’s why we call it a practice: it’s hard, we don’t feel like doing it–and then we feel better once we have.
