HAMMER NUTRITION PHILIPPINES
FUEL YOUR EVERY REP.
PERFORM. ENDURE. FINISH STRONG.
Don’t Race Fasted
HYROX is a high intensity event. Start properly fueled and hydrated. The objective is not heavy fueling during the race. It is having energy available and managing fatigue from start to finish.
3 Hours Before
- Have your last light meal. Keep it familiar and easy to digest. Ideally under 500 calories.
- Avoid fried or heavily processed food and alcohol.
- Hammer Bar® is a convenient whole food option when you need something light before the race or don’t want a full meal.
15 to 20 Minutes Before
- Take Endurolytes Caps or drink Endurolytes Fizz.
10 to 15 Minutes Before
- Take 1 Hammer Gel with water.
During
- For longer race times, take 1 Hammer Gel around 45 minutes into the race. For athletes racing substantially longer, additional fuel can be taken as needed based on race duration and the fueling strategy practiced in training.
- Water guide: about 590 to 740 ml per hour for an average-size athlete, and up to about 830 ml per hour in the heat, adjusted for your size, sweat rate and what you have practiced in training.
- Continue Endurolytes according to your tested electrolyte needs.
Where Fatigue Shows
HYROX is cumulative. What you spend early affects what you have left later.
SkiErg + Row
Control your pace. Going too hard to gain a few seconds can cost you later.
Sled Push + Sled Pull
High strength demand. Stay controlled.
Burpee Broad Jumps
A major fatigue point. Maintain rhythm and efficiency.
Sandbag Lunges
Second to last station. Fatigue is already high. Maintain technique and control.
Wall Balls
The final station. This is often where accumulated fatigue from the entire race becomes most obvious.
Peak Performance
Fuel provides energy. These products go beyond basic fueling and can be added depending on the athlete’s needs.
Anti Fatigue Caps
2 to 4 capsules 30 minutes before the start. For races extending beyond 2 hours, add 1 to 2 capsules each hour from the two hour mark.
Fully Charged
Grit in a bottle.
Built to support energy, focus and performance when the work gets harder, without relying on high sugar or high caffeine. Designed for sustained performance, hour after hour, even through multi day events.
Energy Surge
For high intensity efforts. Can be used before the race or strategically before particularly demanding portions of the race.
Endurance BCAA+
Additional support as duration and muscular demand increase.
Race Day Boost
Use according to its pre race loading protocol.
Xobaline
Vitamin B12 support for normal red blood cell formation and oxygen transport.
After the Race
- Take Recoverite within approximately 30 minutes when available. Hammer Bar® is a convenient whole food recovery option when Recoverite isn’t available, or can be eaten alongside your recovery drink when you need additional food. Follow with a proper balanced meal.
Clean fuel. Right timing. Fatigue management. Recovery dialed in.
Most importantly:
TRAIN WITH YOUR RACE PROTOCOL.
DON’T EXPERIMENT ON RACE DAY.
Train with it. Race with it. Recover right.
That’s fueling done right. No compromise.
