Redcon1 Grunt EAA Cherry Lime Description

Train • Recovery • Repeat
Promotes Recovery
Reduces Muscle Soreness
Supports Muscle Repair

The Objective:

EAAs stands for Essential Amino Acids - this means you can't live without them. They do all of the heavy lifting with regards to muscle repair and recovery. With the essential amino acids found in Grunt you can now leave the heavy lifting or repair and recovery support to us.

For the athlete or bodybuilder who takes recovery seriously. Grunt is a potent and effective EAA formula packing 9 amino acids necessary for growing new and preserving existing muscle mass. Do not confuse EAA’s with BCAA. Although both are needed by the body and only provided via nutrition or supplementation, EAA’s are a complete protein source, whereas BCAA are not. Research indicates that EAA’s are best used as part of your pre-workout routine, while BCAA’s are most beneficial post workout due to their higher doses.

Use the supplement elite athletes have known about for years. If you want to unlock new growth and keep your muscles well-hydrated and properly fed with a steady dose of amino acids, make sure you keep Grunt as part of your daily, year-round supplement program.

Directions

Grunt Suggested Use:

To get the most out of Grunt, we suggest at least (1) serving during training and (1) scoop immediately post workout. For optimal flavor, we suggest mixing (1) serving of Grunt with 8-10 oz of water or your favorite beverage.

Should You Wear Workout Gloves? Pros & Cons to Consider

If you’ve seen people wearing gloves – and others who don’t! – at the gym, you may have wondered: should I get a pair? Wearing gloves while lifting weights is really a personal choice and will depend on what you’re comfortable with and whether you think they’ll help or hinder your workout. Take a look at these pros and cons before picking up a pair. We’re here to give you a hand!

Why Wear Weight Lifting Gloves?

The Pros:

1. Gloves protect hands from calluses and blisters When lifting weights, you can develop calluses, or small rough spots on your hands, from the friction of the weights repeatedly rubbing against your skin. Calluses aren’t unsafe, but they can be unsightly, rip open, crack or become painful if you continue exercising without protecting your hands. If your hands are hurting, this could also delay progress in your fitness program. Wearing gloves helps keep your hands protected so you can stay focused on your workout. 2. Gloves provide grip – no need for messy chalk! Sweaty hands can make it tough to keep a good grip on a dumbbell or barbell, and that can be dangerous. Wearing workout gloves helps keep your grip strong so you don’t accidently drop weights or workout bars. Some gym goers like using chalk to help lessen sweat and help with grip. However, chalk can be messy and tough to clean, and when chalk dust gets in the air – it’s tough to breathe. For a good grip, and less mess, try wearing gloves. 3. Gloves provide stability and wrist support Workout gloves can create a strong base of support around your wrists. Ultimately, this helps with your lifting movements. A good workout glove adds a thin stable platform around your hands (think of it like an extra ligament and tendon) which helps to increase grip stability and the ability to hold onto weights longer. This can lead to an enhanced grip strength and increased strength movements. 4. Gloves relieve pressure When lifting heavy weights, gloves can help relieve the pressure that is placed on your hands. Wearing workout gloves will help increase the amount of pressure your hands can handle. This means you will be able to lift a heavier weight than you might with just bare hands.

The cons:

1. Gloves can be stinky and bacteria can grow No one wants to be noticed in gym because they stink! Workout gloves can develop odors because of bacteria growth resulting from sweaty hands. Besides creating a stink, the bacteria can cause skin irritations and rashes. Unfortunately, washing gloves doesn’t seem to help much (it’s hard to clean inner creases and crevices). Plus, washing often tends to break down the fabric. If you go with gloves, you might find yourself buying replacements often. 2. Gloves can aggravate skin issues If you suffer with skin issues, wearing workout gloves isn’t the best idea. Eczema is a common skin issue that’s aggravated by sweating. With no room to breathe, your hands may be affected by sweat-moisture trapped between the fingers and palms of the gloves – and eczema can worsen. 3. Gloves can be habit forming Once you start wearing gloves, you could become dependent on them. If you always feel that you need gloves to work out, you may never increase your grip strength naturally. Mentally you may also feel you can only do certain exercises with your gloves, when in reality you can get through your workout on your own. 4. Gloves can be inconvenient Workout gloves should be tight to your skin (like a second skin). When you wear them at the gym, you’ll need to take them off and put them back on a lot. This can be a pain because they’re tight (and remember, your hands will be sweaty and a little puffy from increased blood flow). This process can break up your routine and rest periods. Depending on how often you do this, you may want to consider if it’s really worth it to wear them. 5. Gloves are not long-lasting If you decide workout gloves are for you, be prepared to buy a lot of them. With all the finger holes, stitching, Velcro, zippers, and sweating, workout gloves are pretty fragile. And with constant use, they tend to not last very long.
