I tried a sample of Gat Sport Nitraflex and was quite impressed. Knocked out 2 extra reps on every exercise Chest/Bicep workout. Hey it could just be the placebo effect and all in my mind of trying something new.
I noticed on the pack that it says to take on non-training days. Is it required, or just a marketing ploy to use more of it?

Daily dosing of beta alanine would help to obtain it's benefits and taking citrulline every day could be beneficial as well but as a whole there really isn't much reason to take it every day
My secret? Texting between sets.

For continued effectiveness I’d stick to training days so you don’t build a tolerance.
On rest days I’d stick to creatine and if you need a pick me up something like our delayed release caffeine so you get a nice prolonged release of energy.Myprotein's Official Bodybuilding.com Profile

It'd be a waste to take it on a rest day IMO. Just drink coffee of use other source for caffeine.

The term pre-workout normally refers to the pre-workout supplement in a tub, however, coffee can be considered a pre-workout.
Back to your question...save your pre-workout for your workout days.

I also wouldn't advise using a PRE on non workout days. I feel like it would have a negative effect on my tolerance levels.
Glad to see that you're enjoying PRE's, have you used them in the past?
I'd recommend checking out Mypre V2, P.P.K,, and/or White Flash if you are looking at other optionsMyprotein's Official Bodybuilding.com Lead Representative ✔
