Training: Your Body

Having the right equipment makes things a lot easier but without the right nutrition and training plans, you are setting yourself up for failure.  Here is what the Pro Team uses and recommends.  If you decide to work with one of these companies, let them know the MudGear-Battle of the Lions Pro Team sent you.

Pre-Workout (Caffeine Only): Elite Ops Energy Strips

With many of our athletes working out twice a day, a pick-me-up is often needed to really crush our goals.  We rely on Elite Ops Energy strips to keep us going.  They are sublingual strips that contain 100mg of caffeine (think those little Listerine strips but with energy).  The best part is the lack of other ingredients so you aren't getting all the sugar and other garbage they put in energy drinks.
