Are there pre workout supplements more geared towards cardio? Or is something like this OK to take if not lifting as much? Ex: P90x

Top secret makes a cardio pump which I have but have not used. I think this would work good for cardio just take a 1/2 scoop

I would say they are geared toward any high intensity, whether it be crossfit or power lifting.

For cardio, you want to go creatine-free. There's Optimum Nutrition's PRE-, Top Secret Cardio Pump, and I think that MRI has preworkouts made for cardio.

I agree - everyone is different and everyone will respond differently to any supplements. I know that Boost Ultimate works for my husband so that works for me lol!!

You actually can use it for both pre & post workout. But, if you do decide to do that make sure you eat something light before the pre-work. For post workout drink fortress once again, but along with heavier food thats healthy.

Some bulking programs suggest stacking creatine in cycles, but as a 'by the serving' performance enhancer ...this stuff is good food for your muscles. Using a 'per serving' approach to hit your workout harder than rolling in the gym after doughnut will payoff over time. Stick with it and good luck!

Hey there! Since it's not a preworkout, it doesn't give you an energy kick like caffeine does. But it can help with overall energy sustained throughout the day and your workouts. You could also try this stacked with our Sheer Strength NO2. If the issue persists, it would be good to see a doctor, though. It could be a side effect of something else.Feel free to contact us at any time with any questions.Thanks!MattSheer Strength Labs

Honestly.... yes. Yes you could. The pace is not as fast as you'd expect it to be. One envisions something like Insanity or Asylum where breaks are minimal and infrequent. In truth, in P90X3 the breaks are only slightly shorter and less frequent. I've been doing P90X3 for a month now (since it just came out)... and it's good but I'm not IN LOVE with it. It's a nice option mentally though, to be able to pop up a 30 minute workout when I know that a 60-minute workout just isn't going to happen for me, without feeling like I'm quitting early or missing out on particular exercises I want to do. If the idea of a 30 minute workout sounds intriguing and motivating, you'll like it. But I've been true to the program and my results seem approximately half of what they were when I did P90X a few years back (Phase 1).

I use it before my workouts. I do not do weightlifting, but rather Hi Intensity Interval Training. I exercise at 5am and there's no time for a pre-workout meal, so I drink this and get a nice boost. The sugar helps provide some spark.

I mix it with milk (preferred) or water. I stack this with BCAAs, creatine, NO, and pre-workout. You should read up on how much protein your body can metabolize within a certain time frame. Wouldn't want to waste any excess nutrients by over-stacking.Good luck!

I got it after a recommendation from an Instagram account, and here are my thoughts. I will compare it to Pre-Jym which is by far the best I've tried. The Vega is less pungent but worse tasting. It does not mix as easily as other more common supplements. It gives a light clean jolt. Vega won't amp you up for a PR or an heavy volume day.

I've completed the series twice with a set of 5-52.5 lb select tech dumbbells, a pull up bar, and a weight bench. I need more weight at this point, but haven't wanted to make that investment. You'll need to alter your diet (eat more) and research what types of supplements you want to invest in. I recommend supplements. I tried going without, but they really help you take the next step as your body plateaus.

Definately! Everything about this workout is for making you stronger, physically and mentally. I did P90 in the past and I think this is tougher since it is all body strength and no weights.

Yes, but it might be pointless if the pre-workout already has the same BCAAs in the same amount. Expensive overkill at that point.

I second Karen. There is one cardio DVD included with this set but it is truly a strength training program. No jumping or bouncing required. I LOVE this program, hope you do too. One note - it's actually cheaper to buy direct from BB, you get one more free workout DVD and then you can send it back if you don't like it. Let me know if you want details. I'm a coach. Thanks!

Honestly, this particular brand is "okay," but a better thing to buy is "NOW" products, Arginine. I feel it right away and it makes it easier to work out! I hope this helps. I use 1500 miligrams before working out and another 1500 when I am done--it seems to relax me and there is less muscle tension.

That's a question for the manufacturer. I ordered these for my two 80 lb boxers that are 11 and 8 years old. All I can say is this supplement does give them added energy and improves overall vitality. Hope this helps!

Not sure of the ingredients but it does work well for me..i have tried many preworkouts jack3d, 1mr, c4 (my fav) this is not a strong pre workout but it does give me that focus in the gym..im not much of a preworkout guy usually only take it on my chest days and leg days and it does the job..it is fairly cheap for the amount of servings..all i do is take 1 scoop and add a 200 mg caffeine pill and im ready to go. Would definitely try it out or take c4 if u can afford it.

P90x3 is completely different from P90x. Its faster paced and not so much about weight lifting as P90x.
