whats are your experiences with this product?
good or bad etc |
| A friend just suggested it to me based upon what he "heard". Both of us are disappointed. I cycle NO Explode and definitely notice a drop off in stanima with Jacked. I'm not trying to get big and tend to do moderate weight with 5 good sets of ten. As an example on the bench I do 5 sets of 10 at 215. With the Jacked I could only get sometimes 5 or 6 reps where I can get 10 with NO Explode. |
| I've used NO Explode, NO Shotgun, and jack3d and by FAR my favorite is jack3d. I bought both NO Shotgun and Jack3d a couple of months ago to see which one I favored. I'm on my 3rd tub of Jack3d and the NO shotgun is still half full. NO Shotgun doesn't give me the pump like Jack3d does, and there's something in NO Shotgun that makes me feel flakey. Not so with the Jack3d. It did take me a few days to get used to Jack3d, though. I've given NO Shotgun the same opportunity and no matter how many days in a row I take it I still have a hard time concentrating and usually get a headache. |
|
Its pretty good. The best pre workout i have used is No2black + Blackpowder, but its exspensive as fuck. Jack3d provides good pumps, energy, and focus.
The first day i took 3 scoops and felt like the hulk, i was repping 55lb dumbells on seated curls(4x10).....i felt like i could run through a wall. I come down pretty hard afterwards though... |

thanks for the link, i'm a new member there. im just trying to get some info from the guys/gals on arfcom |

That's a lot of reviews. I may have to try it out, very positive reviews. I normally use Blackpowder, but am getting kind of sick of it. I like super pump also, and have tried the Quake 10.0 stuff from Scivation...that is the only stuff I have ever had that made me tingle from the beta alanine or whatever. |

You gonna use it? I would also suggest SuperPump250, MonsterPump, Fast twitch, No2, Blackpowder. I also HEAR whiteflood is awesome. i already bought some. im going to try it tomorrow How do you like it? I've been using Black Powder, it's had me tingling and talking to myself on the drive to the gym. Pretty good pump, great energy, great focus. I feel like I can always do one more rep, even when I'm upping weight to PB-levels. |

today was the first time i tried it. honest i was a bit "shaky" literally, time will tell i guess Start with no more than one scoop –– half that if one scoop makes you too jittery. After three days I was fine. I now take 1 scoop pre-workout on days I'm lifting and feel no effects from the stimulants. |
|
I went through Animal Pump, liked it but decided to try something else. Went to NO Xplod and it was stronger than Animal Pump but it gave me wicked shits for about the 1st 2 weeks about an hour after I took it.
I had my friend pick me up a tub of Jack3d today so I'll start on it next week. We'll see what happens. |
controllable shits or not controllable

yeah most that stuff is a pile of caffeine. first time i messed with it i had to run for a while after my workout just to get calmed down. I use Cyto Sport's Fast Twitch Caffeine free. I think it works great. I work in an office and it helps get the blood flowing so I don't have to warm up for a 1/2 hour. I also use it with Cytosport, it's like Gatorade but better. I am thinking of doing a comparison of Fast twitch to honey and see which provides more energy. Of course, all of this is useless if you are dehydrated going into the workout, and these sups will dehydrate you more. |

Didn't do anything for me. I have used the following: Jack3d SuperPump 250 Black Powder LG's Anadraulic State NO Ex The only one that works as advertised for me is the SuperPump. NoEx...disgusting, digestive problems...no effect. Jack3D, tasted good, but no effect. BlackPowder, taste OK, but the effect was only minimal... LG's...to digusting and wont mix well. Prolly wont make it through this batch, the effect is there, but nothing like SuperPump 250. SuperPump 250 tastes great, mixes well, gets me going, tightens and focuses. TF and BB.com usually have good deals on it... |

Check out the Controlled Labs line. I had some good results with White Flood. One think I liked about it was its not just a pile of sugar. I would mix it with Controlled Labs Green Mag pre-workout.
At this time I have cut all NO supps and have gone back to just 5g of creatine monohydrate 2x per day when using anything. In the past I used SP250, Blackpowder, NOX-CG3, and few others. Only one more month of physical therapy and then I can get back in the gym. Can't freakin wait. |

You should only do 1 scoop for each 100 lbs you weigh. I weigh 206 but I still only do 1 scoop. |

I weigh 185-190...I need 32 scoops of Jack3d ( if that is what you are talking about in the 1 scoop comment ). All these things work for us or they don't trick is finding the right one without spending a ton in the process. TF had the jack3d for 19.99 + shipping this week, IIRC. |

After using Jack3d for the last few weeks I think I'm going to go back to NO Xplod once I use this container up.
It works for me but not as well as NO Xplod. With Jack3d I'm getting some weird side effects also. My face and ears start to tingle and itch about 15min after I take it and lasts 20-30min. I can't really get used to the taste either for whatever reason. Bottom line, to each his own. No one thing works for everyone. |
|
So I've tried 2 scoops now both on Friday and this morning. Actually went a little over this morning. I like the drive this stuff gives. It gets my mind focused. I don't think its just a "pump-up" formula, more of a concentration/CNS formula.
Something else I like to take every now and then is Power Drive from t-nation. It came in real handy during exam time when I was in college, I could focus on studying or lifting or whatever I wanted to do. I would recommend everyone picking up a bottle of this stuff, I love it. |

well i had to stop taking jack3d.
i have been fighting this skin rash since i started taking it.... link i've have been sick several times since i've been taking.. lungs related. and developed over 90 of these spots ALL over my body exept my face. its ALL over my armpits and chest and my pits started to itch which is rare but when it happens its like poison ivy  i went to the dermatologist and she said there isn't anything she can do, it will clear up after summer time 
i haven't changed anything but stopping the jack3d and about 2 weeks later its almost gone. i hope no one else has the issue, because you can't go to the pool. without looking like a leper

Hey guys if you want a knock you on your ass pre-workout. Try Lean Revolution it's by Muscle Sport.
I have tried just about everything that you guys have listed and this stuff puts all of it to shame. I use to love superpump 250 works really good but this stuff is crazy. Let me know if anyone trys this to see if you get the same results. |

I had an allergic reaction to Hydroxycut, like poison ivy showing up in a different spot on my body each day. Never had that happen with anything else before. |

I took my last dose last week, and the spots have mostly disappeared. I mainly had them on my chest and belly, and they itched something fierce. I won't be buying this stuff again, although I did like the effects it had on my workouts. |
