Redcon1 Total War Pre-Workout – Smart Tarts Sherbet

Arguably the most popular pre-workout in the world, Total War from the team over at Redcon1 is a crowd favourite and it is not hard to see why. Whether you train before work or school, middle of the day, or later in the evening, Total War can come through every time so that you can make the most of every session. The combination of amazing flavours and clinical dosages has made Total War one of the most consistently performing pre-workouts on the market and many customers will find themselves being able to get great results from this product for a long period of time.

Total War + Big Noise

There is absolutely no denying that Total War is a fantastic product on its own and we know this because it has been fuelling the training sessions of some of the best bodybuilders in the world for years. However, if you really want to take things up a notch and experience the ultimate combination of energy, focus and pump, you may want to consider the Total War + Big Noise stack. With the addition of Big Noise, you are not getting any more stimulants so there is no risk of feeling strung out of experiencing a crash. What you will be getting is more ingredients to help with enhancing blood flow to your muscles, improving your ability to push harder for longer during each set and you will also get a better cognitive boost with the presence of more nootropics. Total War and Big Noise are both fantastic products in their own right but if you have a big training session coming up and you really want to give it your all, it might just be worth having both products at your disposal.

Directions of Use

Key Ingredients

Caffeine

Caffeine is the key ingredient in most pre-workout formulas as it provides a boost of energy and enhances focus. Caffeine is easily absorbed by the body and acts fast to get you ready for your session in no time at all. More does not necessarily mean better, so Redcon1 has crafted this formula without needing to throw in copious amounts of caffeine whilst still producing an amazing product.

Citrulline Malate

Citrulline malate provides skin-splitting pumps, increased levels of energy, and greater performance. It boosts nitric oxide levels which in turn widens blood vessels – improving gains both during your workout and in the recovery period. Expect an increase in reps when consumed pre-workout, and a reduction in soreness post-workout. It can also benefit recovery by allowing more nutrients to reach your muscles, making this compound essential for anyone looking to speed up their progressive overload training.

Beta-Alanine

Beta-alanine increases muscular endurance, allowing you to smash through longer training sessions and increase your workout volume. It reduces fatigue by speeding up lactic acid removal in muscles and is characterised by a tingling sensation. Beta-alanine is especially effective if you need a pre-workout for high-intensity lifting, but will allow you to increase your training volume regardless of intensity – making it a powerful ingredient for any gym-goer.

Juniper berry extract

Juniper berry extract plays an important role in the post-workout recovery period thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s also incredibly high in vitamin C – meaning it helps support your immune system and helps assist the functioning of blood vessels. This is a vital ingredient for any long term training plan focused on growth and health.

Agmatine sulfate

Agmatine sulfate is thought to provide mental energy and increase focus during workouts. Ultimately, focussing more on your lifting will increase your mind-muscle connection, allowing you to recruit more muscles fibres over time. Agmatine sulfate is also reputed to increase pain tolerance, allowing you to break through your comfort zone and hit new personal bests.

Taurine

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that plays an important role in healthy muscle function. It reduces muscle damage, soreness, and oxidative stress. This allows you to lift more frequently, speeding up the rate at which you make gains. Taurine is also a vasodilator, working to increase the flow of blood to muscles. Not only does this provide them with more nutrients, but during workouts, it increases the delivery of glycogen and oxygen, which reduces fatigue. This increases your performance, allowing you to lift heavier for longer.

Green Tea Extract

Green tea extract provides benefits both during and after workouts. During workouts, it provides a steady stream of energy thanks to its natural caffeine content and is said to help slow muscle fatigue. Post-workout it can aid fat loss by increasing the rate at which the body burns calories, making it ideal for anyone looking to cut. As a diuretic, it may reduce unwanted fluid retention. It’s packed full of antioxidants, and is said to promote heart, brain, and liver health.

Other ingredients

Redcon1 Total War also includes naringin, BioPerine, and theobroma cacao to provide optimum nutrition. Naringin helps the metabolism function properly and is said to promote cardiovascular health thanks to its high concentration of antioxidants. BioPerine increases the bioavailability of other ingredients, making them easier to absorb. This increases their effectiveness without upping dosages, giving you more bang for your buck. Theobroma cacao promotes heart health thanks to its high concentration of flavanol antioxidants. It also reduces blood pressure by expanding blood vessels; improving muscle pumps and increasing performance.
