Preworkout Chocolate?
 

Preworkout Chocolate?

Its flavonol content may be the reason.

Lots of bodybuilders take a nitric-oxide precursor supplement to get a bigger pump during workouts. The supplements contain such compounds as arginine or glycine propionyl-L-carnitine, which help the body produce NO, which in turn dilates blood vessels.

Could chocolate do the same thing? A recent study revealed that dark chocolate helps regulate blood pressure by improving blood flow. Its flavonol content may be the reason. Sugar is also a known vasodilator, as is alcohol. A preworkout wine and dark-chocolate pop, though, may be an idea ahead of its time. Try the chocolate by itself. You don’t want to compromise your balance on squat or bench day.

Not sure if somebody already try this, but I won't sacrifice my 1MR for a piece of dark heaven. I prefer wait until I'm done with the routine. Any body try this?

Me too. Too many calories :mad: Can't do it all the time.
