Taking pre workout before cardio.

I'm really into pre workout; it gets me pumped and gives me a massive boost of energy to get an intense workout in. I was chatting with a friend and he told me not to take preworkout before cardio bc it can cause a heart attack. I'm curious as to if anyone has any info on this. I take psychotic by insane labz, switched with c4 or assault by muscle pharm from week to week.

The caffeine in the pre-workout is what gives you energy, and also increases your heart rate. Drinking multiple cups of coffee or an energy drink increases your risk the same as pre-workout, but I wouldn't worry too much if you're healthy. Dont overdose, and if your heart rate gets too high, then stop.0
