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.

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.

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).

It's one of those supplement that you can take 2 times a day and thy recommend that so u go thru the pills faster, but I do once a day about 30-45 min before workout because they mostly help u get a better workout. If I don't workout I just take it once a day. It's 3 pills per dose

Hi Joe, yes you don't need supplements, just make sure your diet is in check. Those weights are fine to start off with but as you get stronger you'll need to increase the weight for the workout to be effective.

Other than regular exercise (especially cardio), there are several supplements, namely amino acids that work for most people... Start by searching these products here at amazon: alpha-gpc and NALT... If you hear of anything else, I'd love to hear it too'n thanks :)

It really depends of your nutrition as a whole. This product is great because it has creatine which prevents your body from eating out the glycogen (the sugar in your muscles), so it prevents muscle anabolism. You can take before (to give you more energy) or after to build more muscle. I personally take it during my workout.

Thank you for your question Dawn, and thank you William, Joshua, and John for your answers!John put it very well: "you repair and grow when you're NOT in the gym", and the BCAAs, Creatine, and L-Glutamine in Vintage Build will be just as helpful on workout days as on non-workout days. The product's premium quality ingredients and their split were formulated with that in mind. We hope you'll give Vintage Build a try soon, Dawn, and we're confident you won't regret it :)Keep it Old School, everyone!

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.

I have heard great things about craze. I've tried C4 before and it did not give me the results that I was expecting. However I don't think any pre-workout does the job like Bullnox. If you pair Bullnox with a thermogenic like Detonate you will have a combination that will not only give you the energy you need to make it through your workout but it will also give you some amazing muscle pumps and strength increases. Just remember to follow the directions on any supplement that you take to prevent harmful side effects.

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!

Yes, I am a 38 year old woman who has been doing Beast Body and it has enhanced my weightlifting results from P90X. P90X worked well for me. However, the Beast really improved my arms and shoulders. Although I have to say that the leg workouts will leave you sore, but they did not seem to enhance my leg results. I reviewed the DVDs and you are welcome to read my review about what exercises are done. I like to rotate the weightlifting DVDs from Beast Body with those from P90X.

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'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.

I don't think there's any pre workout you can compare Ubervita Roct with in market right now, this product is amazing I just came back from gym right now and I took it before I went to the gym everyday I see result, so in my opinion Ubervita is the best in market right now.

I use 4 of these for p90x workouts. Heavy equipment is no problem for these. They are great.

More strength training focused than cardio. You'll be fitter by the time you do volume 2 if you've done volume 1 first (which you should) so the cardio will seem less intense but it lets you push harder so you'll be more tired. The exercises are longer so you'll be more tired but they're easier to get through.
