Silly question about powders

[BBiceps]

Does it matter if I take a scoop of powder in my mouth and shug it down with water or should I mix it with water like the directions say?

It's mostly pre workout drinks I do this with and asking so I don't miss out on any benefits.

That's the way I take all of my powders except for protein.

Doesnt matter my friend its all going to the same spot

Thanks, I didn't think so either but just wanted to make sure!

Yep you're perfectly fine just throwing it in your mouth and chasing it with water. That's what a lot of people do with preworkout powders. It hits faster for me to because you're taking it all in at once rather than sipping on it pre workout.

I have never tried it, but have seen lots doing it at the gym. Seems fine

I've never thought of this or tried it, I might tomorrow morning for my workout, lol.

10g of powder = 10g of powder regardless of how you get it ingested.

I see people do this and wonder how bad it tastes to do this? I've never tried because I tend to drink mine on the way to the gym.

Wouldn't some ingredients, like glycerol/hydromax be better when well hydrated?

 

[BBiceps]

Lol, thanks for all the answers, sometimes you have that powder that tastes horrible but you get good results from it or when you just don't want a whole drink, it's nice to go Kamikaze and hold your breath, down a scoop, swallow it with some water, pound your chest and go workout!

I dont know how people can shotgun powders

I always prefer using just a bit of water, making it more like a pre workout shot rather than choking down the dry powder

I personally found NO products work better with at least half a shaker of water...

And yea, lotta these powders are too acidic to just throw back
