A review of monster supplements train sustain
Those of you who know me personally or have read other parts of my site know I'm into cycling and long distance riding. One thing that's often forgotten about on long rides and any endurance sport in general is nutritionally fuelling the body correctly so it can keep going at the rate you want.
When I go cycling I tend to take one bottle of water and one of an electrolyte based drink. Electrolytes are found in the body naturally and are what help our muscles function, as we sweat and work hard these are depleated and that's when cramps occur. By replenishing these lost electrolytes with those found in a drink you're serving two purposes rehydration and nutritionally re balancing yourself.
Recently I started playing squash ,after 15-20 minutes I started to get really bad cramps in my legs, I appear to have a potasium issue where by if i don't have enough my muscles get tight and eventually lock. Ive nick named this Banana legs as bananas are packed full of potassium. Before squash I now try to eat a banana and consume lots of fluid, train sustain from Monster Supplements is great. Not only does its hydrate me and my banana legs but is also full of other essential additions which help fuel my work outs.

MIxing train sustain
One thing I love about Train Sustain is how easy it mixes with water, no clumps of powder left, no lumps, just add it to a water bottle and then add 3/4 contents of water, shake really well then top up with water once the foams died down. It also tastes really nice and is now my go to drink pre work out. Did I say how much cheaper it is than bottled drinks? Lucazade for example you're looking at £1 to £1.50 a bottle now. This powder will make 20 servings of 5-750ml (depending how strong you like it) and runs at £18 (at the point of typing this) that's £0.90p a bottle.
Clothing
Along with the supplements in this range Monster also do a range of clothing. I was lucky when I purchased mine for £20 I got the powder, a bottle and a tshirt in a pack. Keep your eye out for a range of fantastic deals and offers which can be found clicking this link
