Anyone who has ever seriously cut knows the frustrating phenomenon: your body fat percentage drops, but your muscles feel 'flat', empty, and lifeless. In the mirror, you seem to have shrunk rather than gained muscle. This 'flat' feeling physiologically arises from an acute carbohydrate deficiency. Carbohydrates are stored in the muscles as glycogen, and each gram of glycogen pulls an average of 3 to 4 grams of water into the muscle cell. Fewer carbohydrates simply mean less muscle volume and difficult pumps on the gym floor.
However, if you are aiming for an extremely dry physique, you can't just increase your carbohydrates for a better pump. That would immediately slow down your fat burning. The 22-time Olympia-winning coach Hany Rambod uses a specific secret from elite sports for this: hyperhydration through liquid glycerol.
Why glycerol is an absolute gamechanger during your diet
Glycerol has the unique property of powerfully absorbing water and forcing it directly into the bloodstream and muscle cells, completely without the help of carbohydrates. This allows you to create that coveted, three-dimensional muscle volume and maximum fullness without consuming extra calories or sugars.
The secret of the competition shape
Those who are extremely deep in a calorie deficit or preparing for a photoshoot or competition often complain that they can no longer get a pump in the gym. Due to the low carbohydrate intake, the muscle is simply 'dehydrated.' Glycerol solves this problem immediately. It pulls fluid into the muscle, induces hyperhydration, and ensures that you—despite your low-carb diet—train with veins about to burst and a pump that feels like you've eaten hundreds of grams of rice.
The ultimate liquid pump: Evogen EVP AQ
In the fitness world, you find many glycerol supplements in powder form (such as glycerol monostearate). The downside is that it physiologically dissolves poorly, clumps quickly, and often causes mild stomach discomfort. Hany Rambod solved this by developing Evogen EVP AQ: a premium, liquid pure glycerol pre-workout.
EVP AQ is designed for pure hyperhydration. Because it is a liquid, it is absorbed directly and without barriers by the body. It drives water straight to the working muscles to maximize muscle cell volume, buffer muscle fatigue, and achieve an unprecedented pump, without stimulants like caffeine. This also makes it perfect for evening workouts to protect your deep REM sleep.
How to maximize the effect of glycerol?
Glycerol works like a biological sponge: it needs water to do its job. If you take glycerol without drinking extra, the effect cannot occur and it can even feel uncomfortable.

The Hydration Law: Take your dose of Evogen EVP AQ about
15 to 30 minutesbefore your workout and immediately drink a large bottle of water (at least500 to 750 ml). - The Ultimate Combination: Want to boost the pump even more? Combine EVP AQ with the essential amino acids from Evogen Amino KEM during your workout. This not only optimizes fluid balance but also the transport of amino acids and electrolytes to the hydrating muscle cells for maximum recovery.
