Pre-workouts deliver a blend of ingredients that are scientifically proven to improve your sporting performance. Combining stimulants with amino acids and other ingredients, together they act to increase your energy, strength and endurance during training and in competition.

There are several benefits of pre-workout supplements.

Pre-workout increase endurance: With positive effects on the perceived rate of exertion, oxygen delivery and acid buffering, pre-workout increases time to exhaustion and speed in endurance athletes. Strength athletes can lift more weight and complete more reps.

Pre-workout increases strength: Improved recovery between sets, increased oxygen delivery and improved buffering against acid production causes an increase in strength output when lifting weights.

Pre-workout increases muscle mass: The benefit of increased strength and endurance when taking pre-workout means that more weight can be lifted in a training session. This results in a more rapid increase in muscle mass.

The best pre-workout supplements deliver clinical doses of scientifically proven ingredients that improve sporting performance. The best pre-workout supplements do not use secret propriety blends, instead, they provide their full ingredient list and active ingredient levels so you can make an informed choice about what you are buying and the dose you are taking. The best Australian pre-workout supplements conform to ASADA, FSANZ and TGA guidelines to ensure your safety without compromising performance.

VPA^® has two pre-workout supplements that we consider the best for different reasons:

Gold Coast Stim is a great baseline pre-workout that can be taken every time you train to improve your performance. The dose can be adjusted to provide the level of stimulation and buzz you are seeking.

VENOM^®pre-workout has been designed by our food technologist to deliver the highest level of caffeine legally possible, along with clinical levels of other active ingredients to bring you the strongest, best pre-workout supplement on the market.

Yes, pre-workout supplements do work. There is an abundance of scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of pre-workout ingredients maximizing sporting performance. The active ingredients of Gold Coast Stim pre-workout are AIS Group A supplements. This means that the evidence supporting their ability to improve sports performance is strong, and they are recommended for use by the AIS.

To build muscle, progressive strength training needs to be supported with optimal levels of protein and a calorie surplus. Pre-workout supplements build muscle as they facilitate a higher training volume in each session, through either increasing the weight used, or the reps performed. This accelerates the rate at which muscle and strength is gained.

Pre-workout can be used my anyone who wants to get the most out of their training and accelerate their progress towards their goals. Pre-workout can be used by bodybuilders, strength athletes, endurance athletes, those who enjoy HIIT or Bootcamp, as well as those who hit the gym to stay fit.

Gold Coast Stim contains the following ingredients:

Beta-Alanine 1.5g per serve: Beta alanine helps buffer the muscles against acid produced during intense training. Beta alanine increases the reps that can be done at a given weight. Beta alanine also improves performance in moderate to intense cardio activities such as sprinting, rowing, or intermittent sports.

Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate AAKG 1g: AAKG plays an important role in nitric oxide production. Nitric oxide improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles and in this way improves athletic performance.

Creatine Monohydrate 1g per serve: Creatine plays a role in energy production, and specifically increases energy production during intense exercise. In this way it increases power output during training.

Citrulline Malate 0.4g per serve: Citrulline malate is converted to L-arginine which improves nitric oxide metabolism. Nitric oxide improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles and in this way improves athletic performance. Citrulline malate reduces fatigue and increases endurance.

Caffeine 160mg: As a stimulant, caffeine decreases rate of perceived exertion, allowing exercise to feel easier than it actually is. As a sports supplement, the effectiveness of caffeine is undisputed, improving both strength and endurance. VENOM^® is dosed with as much caffeine as is legally allowed in Australia. (500mg)

L-Tyrosine 0.1g: Plays a role in increasing alertness, helping you to perform at your best.

Guarana 1g: Acting as a stimulant, guarana helps improve cognition and switches you on for maximum performance.

B vitamins: B vitamins play an important role in energy production and ensure that you can train at your best. B vitamins are water soluble meaning they need to be replaced through diet on a regular basis.

Pre-30 pre-workout comes in five amazing flavours; raspberry, lemon-lime, creaming soda, grape bubblegum and mango passionfruit. Pre-workout sometimes has a slightly bitter and sour taste. This taste is the natural flavour of the active ingredients coming through. Customer favourite flavours are creaming soda and grape bubblegum. You are able to mix other unflavoured amino acids in with your pre-workout if you want to.

Pre-workout is best mixed with water as it has a very strong flavour. You can mix it with as much or as little water as you choose, based on your own flavour preference, and how much fluid you are comfortable consuming prior to training or competing.

One serve of Gold Coast Stim is 6.2g, or two scoops. Each tub has 30 serves. You can take more or less Gold Coast Stim based on whether you want to feel a stronger or weaker buzz from the pre-workout. If you are after a super strong pre-workout try our VENOM^® instead! You can find it here

Ideally, pre-workout should be taken about 20-30 minutes before you commence training, game or competition. This gives your body time to absorb the ingredients and for them to start working their magic.

Not all pre-workout supplements are safe to take, if you are drug tested for your job or as a competitive athlete. This is why you need to be very careful about what pre-workout you choose to buy, and who you buy it from. VPA^® is proud to say that all of our products, including our VENOM^® and Gold Coast Stim pre-workouts are safe for drug tests. We do not use or have any ingredients in our production facility, that are banned by ASADA or WADA. We regularly test our ingredients and finished products for purity and safety.

Off all VPA^® supplements, our pre-workouts are the most likely to have minor side effects. These side effects are not harmful, but they are something to be aware of when considering if, and when, to take a pre-workout supplement.

Caffeine – VPA^® Gold Coast Stim has an average 230mg of caffeine per serve (value may vary depending on flavour). If taken too late in the day, the caffeine content may result in difficulties falling to sleep if you are particularly sensitive to caffeine.

Beta-alanine – Beta-alanine is known to cause paraesthesia in some people, especially when taking beta-alanine after a period of time not doing so. Paresthesia is a skin-tingling sensation, that some people describe as a feeling of insects crawling on them. It is common to feel this in the face or hands. This sensation is not harmful, and some people enjoy it, finding it switches them on for the workout ahead.

The amino acid content of pre-workout is high, and the natural properties of amino acids means that they tend to take on moisture. This is why silicon moisture sachets are added to pre-workouts during the packing process. Once a pre-workout is opened it will start to take on moisture and should be used within 6-8 weeks. If your pre-workout does start to clump, rest assured that although it may be more difficult to scoop and slightly harder to mix, the active ingredients will still work their magic.

No. We do not recommend that pregnant or breastfeeding women take pre-workout due to the high levels of stimulants.
