FST-7 Pomp Tip: Waarom je Elektrolyten met Glycerol moet combineren

In this video, the legendary 22-time Olympia-winning coach Hany Rambod explains why electrolytes must be used in absolute combination with glycerol for enormous, three-dimensional pump effects. Many athletes know glycerol as a powerful agent for a bigger muscle pump but miss the crucial physiological link to maximize the effect.

The exact reason you want to use electrolytes with glycerol is due to the principle of hyperhydration. Glycerol has the unique ability to attract and retain water in the bloodstream and muscle cells. When you add high-quality electrolytes to this, these minerals act as a catalyst. The electrolytes will physiologically enhance the effect of glycerol and create a powerful 1 + 1 = 3 effect in your muscle bellies.

To maximize this scientific synergy, Evogen Nutrition's EVP AQ contains both an extremely high dose of liquid glycerol and an optimized spectrum of electrolytes. Additionally, it is enriched with the patented S7® plant extract to increase nitric oxide (NO) production by as much as 230%. All of this is combined in the same premium liquid pre-workout to maximize your muscle volume and pump effects. Don’t miss this video where Hany Rambod explains the physiological importance of using electrolytes with glycerol for an even deeper effect in the gym!

Pro tip from the Pro Creator: An extreme muscle pump stretches the stiff muscle fascia from the inside, creating the perfect foundation for new growth. Smartly combine your pre-workout pump stack with the right nutrients before and after your training:

Anabolic protection during training: Drink Evogen Amino KEM during your sets. This provides your muscle cells with all 9 essential amino acids (EAAs) and extra electrolytes to keep hydration and muscle retention continuously high.
Brute mental focus beforehand: Combine the stimulant-free liquid of Evogen EVP AQ with a scoop of Evogen EVP Xtreme/3D for the ultimate mental drive and energy to dominate heavy weights.
Acute post-workout recovery: Feed the maximally pumped muscle fibers immediately after your last set with a scoop of Evogen IsoJect whey isolate for immediate muscle growth.

FAQ

What exactly does 'hyperhydration' mean for my muscles during training?

Hyperhydration is a physiological condition in which the fluid volume in the bloodstream and deep within muscle cells is temporarily increased above normal levels. Glycerol attracts this water, while electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium) ensure that the fluid is actually retained inside the cell. This increases muscle cell volumization, which sends a direct anabolic growth signal.

Why is the liquid form of glycerol in EVP AQ better than glycerol powder?

Traditional glycerol powder (often referred to as glycerol monostearate) is inherently hygroscopic, which means it clumps quickly, dissolves poorly in water, and can cause acute stomach and intestinal issues in many athletes. The liquid pure glycerol in Evogen EVP AQ completely avoids these problems. It is immediately physiologically stable, mixes perfectly, and is rapidly absorbed by the body.

What is the role of the patented S7® extract in this pre-workout?

While glycerol and electrolytes focus purely on fluid volume and cell hydration, the patented S7® (a unique blend of 7 plant-based ingredients) targets the blood vessels themselves. S7® stimulates the body's own production of nitric oxide by 230%. This dilates the blood vessels (vasodilation), allowing the large amount of fluid retained by the glycerol to be pushed even more easily and quickly into the active muscle group.

Can I also use Evogen EVP AQ if I train late in the evening?

Yes, absolutely. Evogen EVP AQ is a 100% stimulant-free pre-workout. It contains no caffeine or other stimulants that overstimulate your central nervous system. This allows you to enjoy a powerful, three-dimensional 3D muscle pump during your evening sessions without compromising your sleep quality and recovery.

How much water should I drink when using glycerol and electrolytes?

Because glycerol and electrolytes work physiologically by binding water and transporting it to the muscles, drinking enough water is an absolute requirement. Hany Rambod advises taking the EVP AQ dosage with about 400-500 ml of water and maintaining steady hydration during training (for example, by mixing your water with Evogen Amino KEM). If you drink too little, the hyperhydration effect simply cannot occur.
