EVP Pre-Workout Strategy 101

Evogen Nutrition EVP has been taking the pre-workout market by storm with variations to suit the needs of just about every individual out there who are looking to maximize their workouts, performance, and results.

With the differences between professional athletes that 24X Olympia winning coach Hany Rambod works with, he understands the needs of athletes and how to leverage pre-workout supplements to help them push themselves past their limits in the gym and with their training to experience unimaginable results that translate into Olympia wins. This also translates over to athletes competing in various sports along with the average gym-goer and fitness enthusiasts. 

What makes things even better is that each of the EVP pre-workouts has its own unique benefits so that you can fine-tune the results you want to experience when training.

In this article, we are going to take a deeper dive into the world of EVP and gain a better understanding of the benefits associated with each EVP pre-workout, how to time them appropriately, and how you can stack them to achieve unbelievable results.

What Are the Differences in Timing Throughout the Day for EVP Use? 

With various forms of our EVP pre-workout available, it can get confusing when trying to understand the best time to use each or even which is right for you. Are they to only be used during the day? Can you use them at night? These are all great questions you should know before buying a version of EVP that might not be the best fit for your wants, needs, and goals.

Below helps break down the best time of day to use each EVP formula.

EVP Options That Can Be Used Day or Night 

If you’re looking for an all-around EVP that you can use any time of day (including at night), your best bet is going to be EVP 3D. Evogen Nutrition EVP 3D is designed specifically to be a stimulant-free formula, ideal for those who are sensitive to stims or who want a pre-workout they can use at night but still be able to get the quality sleep needed to properly rest and recover.

Don’t get it twisted or confused by the “stim-free” version of EVP. EVP 3D will get the job done without the use of stimulants. You can still experience laser-like focus, intense muscle pumps, and crazy vascularity. 

Another version of EVP you can use both during the day and at night is EVP AQ. Are you looking to create a pump so intense that the quality of seams on your clothing is tested? If so, you’ll want EVP AQ — our premium liquid muscle volumizer. This version of EVP is stim-free and provides hyperhydration that enhances blood volume, increases endurance, and creates unrivaled pumps. EVP AQ can also be stacked with other EVP pre-workouts, which we will touch on later in this article when we discuss stacking options.

EVP Options That Can Be Used During the Day 

First off, if you are not sensitive to stimulants and can down a pot of coffee and go right to bed, it doesn’t matter which EVP you use, any will do regardless of if it’s day or night. But for those of you who are stim-junkies and enjoy the extra boost these types of pre-workouts provide, we have EVP Xtreme N.O.

Evogen Nutrition EVP Xtreme N.O. contains anywhere from 200-400mg of caffeine, depending on the serving size you decide to use. It should be noted, though, that if you are sensitive to stimulants, you may not want to take EVP Xtreme N.O. within eight hours of when you plan on going to sleep. 

This high-powered version of EVP is just as potent as the other versions in terms of creating crazy pumps but also includes an extreme nitric oxide-stimulating matrix, muscle hydration matrix, and mental focus matrix. Combining these matrixes can help take you places you never thought possible with your training.

Are There Specific EVP Pre-Workouts Designed Specifically for Bulking & Cutting? 

When you think about supplements, you have those that are very specific to an end goal, like to help with a bulking or cutting phase, while others are broader in their use and function. EVP pre-workouts fit the latter and are not one-dimensional products. In fact, any of the EVP pre-workouts can be utilized during bulking, cutting, and maintenance phases.

The overall goal of a pre-workout, such as one of the Evogen Nutrition EVP pre-workouts, is to help enhance workout performance. They are geared to help boost energy, increase nitric oxide to enhance blood flow and muscle pumps, heighten focus, delay fatigue, and increase recovery.

How to Leverage EVP to Maximize Your Results 

Below, we break down the three most common phases an individual utilizes to reach their fitness and physique goals and how the EVP pre-workouts (as a whole) can improve results.

Bulking Phase

Bulking is the process of working towards gaining lean muscle mass through a combination of resistance training and an increased calorie consumption (being in an overall daily caloric surplus). EVP pre-workouts can be used during a bulking phase to help increase energy levels, focus, and intensity during workouts, allowing for heavier lifts and more reps. This increased workload (progressive overload) can help stimulate muscle growth and support the bulking process.

Additionally, nitric oxide-inducing ingredients found in the EVP pre-workouts help enhance blood flow, allowing nutrients and oxygenated blood to be pushed into the muscles while also removing byproducts like lactic acid that cause muscular fatigue.

Cutting Phase

The goal of a cutting phase is to lose and strip away body fat while maintaining and holding onto the lean muscle mass built through a bulking phase. Many consider this easier said than done, but it can be accomplished, nonetheless.

During the cutting phase, EVP pre-workouts can be used to help maintain energy levels and focus during intense and prolonged training sessions, which can be more challenging due to the lower calorie intake needed to help put you into a deficit and support fat burning. Many also find it helpful to use an EVP that contains a stimulant like caffeine, which can help boost metabolism and optimize fat loss.

Maintenance Phase 

During the maintenance phase, pre-workouts can be used to help provide steady energy levels and dialed-in focus, which can help prevent plateaus and help you push through grueling workouts. The goal of the maintenance phase is to simply maintain your current physique where you’re not necessarily looking to put on size, but you’re certainly not looking to add any body fat. Some people also consider this phase as a “maingaining” phase where they attempt to keep their body fat low while also trying to add a little muscle mass. 

Utilizing EVP pre-workouts during this phase can help improve overall workout quality and intensity while also managing energy levels, focus, fatigue, and muscle pumps. This phase also requires you to find a balance in your diet where you are not in a caloric surplus or deficit to prevent you from gaining weight or losing weight by burning through lean muscle tissue.

EVP Stacking Options 

The EVP line of pre-workouts can easily be stacked with other products to compound the effects and help take your training sessions and results to new heights. That said, let’s take a look at a few examples of how EVP can be stacked with other Evogen Nutrition products according to the goal you’re trying to achieve. 

Note: Not ALL supplements listed in each stacking option need to be purchased, but in doing so, you have a well-rounded stack that checks all the necessary boxes when it comes to covering a pre-workout, intra-workout, post-workout, and accessory products that align with your bulking or cutting goal.

If you’re not a fan of stimulants or prefer to utilize a stack that allows you to train at night without interrupting your sleep, the EVP Stim-Free Bulking Stack will fit the bill perfectly.
