Can I still use clumpy pre-workout?
While it’s still safe to use pre-workout that has gone clumpy in the tub, there are some preventative measures you can take if you’d rather avoid clumping altogether.
Firstly, avoid leaving your pre-workout in your car for long periods. The moisture in the air of a car that gets cold and then gets hot and vice versa can cause the pre-workout to clump.

Secondly, avoid leaving your pre-workout in a moist area like your gym bag or on the side in your kitchen. To avoid clumping it’s best to store your pre-workout in a cool, dry place.
While you can take these measures to avoid clumping, if you live in a humid area then it’s going to be hard to avoid clumping. Equally, if the factory your pre-workout is manufactured in is humid then it’s also likely to be clumpy.

As mentioned before, there are some preventative measures you can take to avoid the clumping of your pre-workout. But these aren’t 100% going to work. So, if nothing is stopping the clumping of your pre-workout, then you can just solve the problem as you go to drink it.
A lot of people opt to make their pre-workout in a blender to ensure it’s nice and smooth — and that’s a good way to knock the clumps straight out of it.
Alternatively, if you like it the old fashioned way, you can get a great bicep warm-up by shaking your pre-workout vigorously until all the lumps are gone.
If your pre-workout is too clumpy for you to use a scoop, then remove the scoop and chuck the powder into a blender (without water) to remove any clumps and then add it back into the tub until you need to use it.
If you don’t have a blender, then try squashing any of the clumps you can, go analog, a fork works pretty well too.
Can you keep pre-workout in the freezer to stop clumps?

TikTok is full of people providing their own solutions to what helps them to avoid clumps in their pre-workout. And one of the most common solutions is to keep your pre-workout in the freezer. This makes sense, the cold environment helps to prevent any moisture from building up in the powder.
However, the freezer can cause many of the ingredients of pre-workout to breakdown much faster than they would at room temperature – meaning you won’t get the same benefits of your pre-workout if you keep it in the freezer.
