Pre Workouts for Cardio? - Ausbb

Would pre workout supps like NO Xplode and Jack3d be beneficial for cardio exercise? I don't really see how Nitric Oxide would help cardio exercise...

If you follow the directions on the tub, you'll see NOXplode is taken everyday, so do that.

Personally, I don't, you build up a tolerance to the stuff fairly easily, example I have only been taking it for 6 weeks now, and in 6 weeks to have the same effect, I have had to double my serving sizes, so your best to just save it for your weight sessions only.

Good luck.

I believe you will find the general concensus on here is that preworkouts with caffeine are not good for anything.
I think noobs did a thread on caffeine if you want to check it out.
Fadi is against it also, with a bunch of justification in another thread.

That said, I don't think many people like traditional cardio either...but I think they are a little more forgiving on that

These supps also have other ingredients like creatine which need to be taken everyday.
READ THE LABEL. Then have sufficient time off so tolerance is not assumed.

Yeh I would use a pre-workout for cardio, it will give you more energy physically and mentally. Beta alanine is very useful for removing lactic acid build up in your muscles during exercise.

I always cycle my preworkouts and if possible its better to go from beta alanine based to nitric oxide based. Jacked is hectic, so is assault and no shotgun.

I didnt understand much of that,

why would you cycle your pre workout supplements?

This week imtaking vitmain c next week im going to take vitmain b3,

By cycling them I find that I can minimise my tolerance. When I take just one for ages I find I build up tolerance and lose the intensity from it. So yeh I probably swap every 2 or 3 weeks.
