He dives into the science of nitric oxide production, comparing the nitrate pathway with the traditional arginine-citrulline route, and why faster-acting nitrates (like NO3T or beetroot extract) are essential for maximizing results.

Dr. Stoppani explains how a muscle pump does more than just enhance appearance — it increases muscle cell hydration, stimulates muscle protein synthesis, and boosts blood flow, delivering more oxygen, nutrients, and glucose to working muscles. Whether you're training for endurance, strength, or size, this deep dive reveals how the right pre-workout stack can help you train stronger for longer.
