So I'd do this -
Pre cardio:
PW/Caffeine (or something similar)
Post Cardio:
Shake/Carbs or eat breakfast
I am starting my AM with cardio and I like Super Charge by Labrada 15 min pre workout. Save my CL for PM weights. If only using CL then PW during or just before cardio. Adding caffeine in would be a benefit.Last edited by icetrauma; 11-14-2006, 05:49 PM.Do or do not. There is no try!

if you're taking PW, then is it really empty-stomach? I'd like to read what pu12 has to say on this
I should have modified my quote of Sethva to:

"A study carried out at Kansas State University (Wilcox, Harford & Wedel Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise, 17:2, 1985), indicates that a kilogram of fat will be oxidized sooner when exercising in the fasted condition in the morning than when doing the same exercise in the afternoon. By measuring respiratory gas exchange, caloric expenditure, and carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, these researchers showed that the mass of fat burned during aerobic exercise amounts to 67% of the total energy expenditure achieved when the same exercise is done later in the day or in the fed state."
However, doing cardio on an empty stomach is the quickest way to lose muscle.
So, which way is best?
The best answer I can give depends on goals. If your looking to lose a good amount of weight, then doing cardio on an emtpy stomach is the best choice, however a good percentage of the weight you lose will be muscle.
If your looking to stay trim, or for general health/cardiovascular reasons, like Strester said, it's better to consume some protein or carbsource prior.
Either way, PW is a great choice for pre-cardio, because it WILL give you anti-catabolic properties, whether on an empty stomach or not.
