Caffeine Boosts Strength and Performance.

Move over Joe, PTF has arrived. Caffeine is a powerful workout aid that can catapult your training to new heights. Here are some of the benefits:


1. Added Strength
A study in theJournal of Strength and Conditioning Researchfound that guys who took a caffeine hit, bench pressed 2.1% more than those who didn’t take any. That’s an instant increase in strength that not even creatine can rival. 

2. Increased Reps
Research at the University of Nebraska, in the USA, found that men could do more reps with the same weight after taking caffeine an hour before their workout. The more reps you can squeeze out with a big weight, the bigger you’ll get. 

3. Recover Faster
 A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found the athletes who drank a caffeinated sports drink before training increased the rate they absorbed carbs after training. The faster you can get carbs into your blood, the faster you’ll recover and the less sore you’ll be in the morning. 

4. Train Longer
Research at the Australian Institute of Sport found that athletes who had a small intake of caffeine before training could keep going 30% longer than those who hadn’t had any, and they could perform up to 3.5% beyond their normal capacity. 

5. Less Pain
Research in the Journal of Pain got cyclists to take caffeine before they cycled intensely for 30 minutes. They felt less pain compared to when the rode caffeine free. Further studies in Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports reported that caffeine made exercise seem 5.6% easier, which made athletes perform better. 

6. Burn Fat
Research at the Australian Institute of Sport found that consuming caffeine before exercise jolts the muscles to start using fat for fuel rather than carbs. It also raises your metabolism by up to 5%, aiding in further weight loss. 
7. Buy Gamma Labs PTF
Gamma Labs Pre Training Formula (PTF) will allow you to train at a higher level for longer periods of time. PTF is formulated with clinically proven ingredients backed by science, not BS. 
8. How Much Caffeine is Recommended Pre-workout?
Between 150mg and 300mg of caffeine are typically a normal dose 30 minutes before your workout. Always start with a lower dose and gradually move your way up. A hot cup of joe isn't always the best source as there is only about 80mg per 8oz cup. Opt for Gamma Labs PTF (150mg per scoop) this way you can measure exactly how much caffeine your taking in.
