I dont see how you get motivated to do cardio. Ive seriously not done it in over a year.

I'm an endomorph. That's motivation enough right there!

Really didn't feel like being in the gym at all and didn't feel much in the way of energy today so I cut the workout short and went home

Seriously I am BURNT out. I can only go so many weeks in a row lifting before I get to this point of overtraining. I had really no energy today! I am taking a week off from the gym! I'll have a final review and comparison to RPM later tonight or tomorrow.

Looking forward to your final review bro. I hear ya on the overtraining, need that week off every few months or so.

woops.... forgot to post my review in this thread too....

[TTewell]

Thanks to Core for letting me test this out.

I'm going to compare the effects to what I felt on RPM.

ENERGY- ZAP ~ RPM This one is hard to compare. ZAP gave me a really clean, good feeling energy where as RPM gets me jacked and hyper.

FOCUS- ZAP > RPM Zap really shines with this aspect. You are just in the zone, completely focused on every lift.

MOOD- ZAP > RPM It just felt like nothing could bring me down. I was in a great mood for about 6 hours after taking it.

AGGRESSION- ZAP < RPM This was the most disappointing part for me. I was expecting more in the way of aggression out of this. It was still better than most pre-workout supps.

LIBIDO- ZAP < RPM Another disappointing aspect. It probably has to do with the high quantity of stimulants but I had NO libido for several hours after taking it.

PUMP- ZAP < RPM This was tough to call. At 4 caps I wasn't getting much of a pump but when I raised it to 5 caps, the pumps got intense. Still, at recommended dosage RPM was better.

Thermogenesis- ZAP > RPM If pigs actually had sweat glands, this is how much they would sweat! lol I'm already a heavy sweater but I was dripping sweat all over the gym even when the AC was down in the 60's!!

AND THE WINNER IS... It's a tie!! They are really much more different than you would think. Both have their strong aspects. If you want more pump and aggression, go with RPM. If you want more of the energy and focus aspect, then go with ZAP.
Will I buy ZAP? Sure will! I plan to try it stacked with Drive to make up for it's weak points.
