How to Make Your Pre Workout Hit Harder
(5 Proven Tips That Actually Work)
You took your scoop. You waited 20 minutes.
And… meh. You feel something, but it’s not that legendary tunnel vision or explosive pump you were promised.
Here’s the truth: even the best pre workout (like BigDaddy) can underperform if you’re not using it right.
Good news? You can fix that in minutes.
Here are 5 science-backed tips to make your pre workout hit way harder — with no extra scoops and no wasted workouts.
💥 1. Take It on an Empty (But Hydrated) Stomach
Food slows digestion — especially fat or fiber — which means your pre workout ingredients take longer to kick in.
What to do:
-
Take BigDaddy 30–45 minutes after a light snack or first thing in the morning
-
Drink at least 16–20 oz of water with it
-
Avoid heavy meals within an hour before your scoop
💡 Pro tip: Fasted training + BigDaddy = laser focus + insane fat-burn potential.
💧 2. Hydrate Like It’s Your Job
Citrulline, beta-alanine, and pump agents rely on fluid and blood volume to work at full power. If you're dehydrated, the effects are muted.
What to do:
-
Drink at least ½ liter of water with your pre workout
-
Add a pinch of sea salt or electrolytes for a pump-enhancing boost
You’ll notice bigger veins, better muscle fullness, and more stamina in your sets.
🕒 3. Time It Right
Too soon = it hasn’t kicked in.
Too late = you’re halfway through your workout before it peaks.
Best window:
-
Take your pre workout 20–30 minutes before training
-
For max effect, warm up right as it starts hitting
💡 Caffeine anhydrous (like in BigDaddy) kicks in fast, but Di-Caffeine Malate extends energy for 3–5 hours. Time it smart, and you’ll dominate your entire session — not just the first 20 minutes.
🧪 4. Cycle It Like a Pro
If you take pre workout every single day, your body will start building tolerance — especially to caffeine and beta-alanine.
How to make it hit harder again:
-
Take a week off every 6–8 weeks (caffeine reset)
-
Rotate with a non-stim pre workout for lighter days
-
Use pre workout only when you need it most (PR days, heavy lifts, early mornings)
Your receptors reset, and the next scoop will feel like a rocket.
🧠 5. Stack It With the Right Add-Ons
Sometimes, just a small addition can amplify your pre workout experience:
Add-On | Benefit | How to Use |
---|---|---|
Himalayan Salt | Bigger pump, hydration | ¼ tsp in water with BigDaddy |
Creatine Monohydrate | Strength, recovery | 3–5g added to your pre workout |
Nitrates (like RedNite™) | Enhanced nitric oxide | Already included in BigDaddy 💪 |
Carbs (fast-digesting) | Pump, endurance | Banana, rice cake, or honey 15–20 mins before |
BigDaddy already includes:
-
8000mg Citrulline
-
2000mg RedNite™
-
Astragin® for absorption
-
450mg of dual-source caffeine
…so you’re getting elite results out of the gate. These stack options just take it to another level.
🚀 Final Takeaway: Want It to Hit Harder? Train Smarter.
You don’t need double scoops. You don’t need to chase stim overload. You just need to optimize your setup.
Recap:
-
Take it fasted (or after light food)
-
Hydrate — and salt it up
-
Time it right: 20–30 minutes pre-workout
-
Cycle intelligently (every 6–8 weeks)
-
Stack it strategically for max power
