Is there anything good to take before cardio for more energy and motivation? Would pump supplements like Shotgun or White Flood make any sense?

I like to do longer runs (for me atleast) 5-6 miles at a good 7-8mph pace ... I did these every other day for a few months on a cutting cycle, all natural and lost about 15 lbs. After I started bulking up I worried about getting fat (lol) so I started running hard again, but I happend to have some intrabolic at the time so I sipped it during my runs... I didn't notice anything different, but it was nice to have something to drink atleast (also I like the apple flavor). I say taking a supplement for cardio would be worthless, if anything you would just sweat it out anyways... hell I lose 1-1.5 lbs in sweat in a 45 minute session.

I find that fat burners generally give me amazing cardio sessions. VPX Meltdown, Mitotropin, and Arson have all worked very well for me in respect to cardio.

I prefer to use Liquid Clenbutrx Hardcore. It has never crashed on me. It's a great energy booster as well as a mood enhancer. I don't know... For some reason I am happy.. I have no idea what is in it that does it but it kind of peaks after 2 or 3 hours. Your nipples get hard... Sometimes goosebumps... And you just smile lol
But that is when I'm not working out. I typically take 3cc's when I wake up instead of a cup of coffee... When I workout on the stuff I don't get tired. I get real HOT and sweat like crazy. But other than that I can go forever.Martin Rooney - If you want to become something you have not been before....

The best I've found are
GNC N.O. Loaded. Probably one of the strongest pre workouts out there. I only take 3/4 scoop of it before weights or HIIT.
Before my hockey games since its longer, I use the Monster Pump pre workout by Cytosport. It has a good amount of Waxymaize(carb), which makes you go one forever endurance wise.

While I think Beta Alanine is good for endurance, I wouldn't say it helps with energy or motivation, and it also takes a few weeks to kick in. Prolab's Cardio Blast is a cardio specific supplement meant to be taken before a session. It is a 3 oz shot.
