Sodium for pumps!!

Hi guys, i was thinking to add some salt to my prewo shake; should i be ok with normal sea salt or there's something better (i.e. baking soda)???
 
I know there was a topic a long time ago about people adding baking powder to their PWO. I could only imagine how bad it tastes. I would think that a decent amount would be needed. I think it would almost be as bad as the junk one drinks for a colonoscopy.
 
You could go with an electrolyte blend, but there are also a few staple products out there that cover electrolytes as well as other daily staples like creatine and betaine. A product like Powermax XT would be a great option IMO. It contains sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, and glycerol which can deliver a nice pump. Powermax XT also contains creatine and betaine for strength and recovery, as well as COP and Amentoflavone which can both help with strength and performance.

Just using the OG CreMax XT and it'sa amazing, btw is himalayan pink salt a good option for sodium intake?? I mean, it'd be the best option for someone looking for gym pumps, right??
 
There are some intra workouts that have good amounts of sodium in them.

Really depends what you're looking for. If you just want electrolytes, it would be easier to grab some from a sports store (don't buy any of the carb loaded ones though). If you want something all inclusive, I like Amino IV by PEScience because it has leucine (5 grams) + EAAs + electrolytes. The mango flavour is the most refreshing supplement I've ever had.

CreMax XT is very similar to Powermax XT, its a great product. I'm glad you're enjoying it. From what I've read, there isn't much difference between the types of table salts (Himalayan, Sea Salt, etc) in terms of sodium intake, but any sodium can provide an increase in hydration and pumps in the gym. Himalayan is tasty too, so if you have it you might as well use it!
