Hammer Nutrition's Fully Charged Pre-Exercise Ignitor dietary supplement makes some big claims. It's here to perk you up, make you ride faster, leave you feeling fresher and make you taller. That last one isn't true, but with all those other benefits I was a bit dubious.
Hammer Nutrition Fully Charged: the claims
- Helps increase energy and endurance
- Aids in reducing fatigue
- Promotes mental alertness
- Helps alleviate muscle soreness
Using Hammer Nutrition Fully Charged
I'm typically not one for energy drinks and exercise supplements, I love real food and fall more into the Eddy Merckx camp of: "Ride lots." With that skepticism in mind, I was truly surprised the first few times I tried Hammer's Fully Charged.

A bit of backstory: I was getting ready for a 5-day stage race in Cuba and riding a lot. All sorts of rides: road, gravel, mountain, long rides, short rides, super quick lunch burners, and everything in between. I know from past experience that after four or five days of hard efforts my legs tend to feel pretty wooden and have no snap.
My pre-ride routine consisted of drinking 8oz of water mixed with Fully Charged, then getting kitted up and checking over my bike of the day before heading out. So basically I followed Hammer's serving suggestion and 15-30 minutes beforehand recommendation.
