where did you get it(/where's cheapest?)? I'm considering taking some as my first ever preworkout supplement
Road to the BNBF Welsh Qualifiers 2011 - Progess Journal
- Thread starter Steedie
- Start date
Got it from Bodybuildingwarehouse.co.uk when it was on offer. It's full price again now, but even then it's £23.99 with free delivery so still well worth it
I'm still loving Jack3d, makes the car journey to the gym interesting with the music up 
probably look like total chavs considering the gym clothes as well.
I have noticed that it can make me slightly more quick tempered if I'm already in a bad mood. Also, it seems to have a significant effect on my body temperature which is awesome when training outside for whatever reason.
I have no knowledge of dieting or weight classes at the level you want, probably best to have a chat with Rob really.

Jack3d isn't a 'pump' supplement as such. It's basically a performance/focus enhancer. If you skim the supplements thread you'll see as BIC3P mentions it a lot.
The benefit of a pump supplement is the greater volume of blood in the muscle which can stretch muscle fascias which can restrict muscle growth. Also the higher volume of blood the more nutrients that are delivered to the muscle.
Both try to maximise the effectiveness and potential of each workout.
Yeah it's by no means a dedicated pump supplement, but just due to the nature of the ingredients it does give that effect, although no where near as strong as say Gaspari Superpump
I'd say the energy and focus it gives you are reason alone to get a supplement like this if you're looking to add that little bit extra to your workouts. I got it as it's my last month of my off season so wanted to get the absolute maximum I could out of these last few weeks, and I can see it helping to do that

My brother has the lemon lime flavour and I can't stand it. I've got bubblegum grape, much nicer IMO 
. Do try higher doses when you can, following the instructions of course , if for no other reason than to satisfy curiosity. I would advise to take it slow though cause the jump from 1.75 to 2 scoops snuck up on me, BIG difference for me.
Keep it up Steedie!

First week back this week and everything went well. I was worried I'd have to have a week to get back into the swing of things which I don't really want, but luckily I jumped straight back into it from where I left off.
Monday started off with a packed gym which wasn't great but managed to get everything done with a few longer than planned rest periods because of waiting, but the rest of the week was quiet. Maybe they all gave up after 1 day
The best thing about this week is the DOMS, been hurting so much all week. Had a great leg session Tuesday with lots of volume and even now my legs are still hurting. Wednesday and Thursday I could barely walk, but I love that, it shows I didn't waste my time
Friday was my first day with Jack3d and I can't wait for the full week next week with it. Back training with Rob for 2 weeks in a row from Monday so should be good, then 1 week left and that's it. Dieting all the way for 20/24 weeks. I'm secretly looking forward to it, just to see what I've achieved in this off season and because it's my clothes might fit again
Will also talk with Rob about the category issue this week, thanks for your advice on the matter guys

Just seen Jack3d contains an ingredient banned by the BNBF, one of the stimulant ingredients. So will stop taking that then!
Man of Honour
Is that the geranium oil? from what I've seen its banned in a lot of things but due to the massive amount of names for it and various spellings of the same name a lot of people don't realise.
1,3-Dimethylamylamine is the banned ingredient

Big week this week with Rob. Lots of supersetting and dropsetting
Started off with a massive shoulder workout, lots and lots of volume. Cable side raises are immense for bringing on a pump, I love them and will definitely be using them more often when not training with Rob.
Legs was good, back to free weight squats. Scissor squats was the new one, I had a lot of trouble getting the form right on these just because supersetting with leg pressing, my legs were so tired and lower back so painful it was hard to get it right, but I got better towards the end and they are really good. Barbell lunges were horrible, I was so out of breath and so lightheaded, could have so easily stopped if Rob was there, but he made me carry on and I'm glad he did as they felt good after. Jack3d did nothing to help this workout ha
Chest was brilliant, really good pump. Again first time I tried a new exercise in cable flies, and the contraction you get at the top is good, it's different as DB flies the easiest part of the movement is the top, with cable flies, that's the hardest part. Really good variation doing both
Finally back, used straps for my deadlifts and a belt. I know it wasn't that heavy but Rob wanted me to try and use straps as he thinks I should be aiming to go heavier so wanting me to get used to them now. They did help massively obviously and the strain it takes off your forearms is great. Supersetting hammer curls with preacher curls was painful, really painful, but you get a lot of blood rushing to your biceps during it and it looks good when you check yourself out in the mirror
2 weeks left of my off season the it's cutting all the way for 20 weeks!

Felt really good though
But what a birthday present! ha
Got some good pre workout stuff to try tomorrow, Rob gave me some stuff as a present so looking forward to trying it NOX by UKmuscle

Horrible today, that ultimate NOX stuff was just too much. Heart was racing so much the whole workout I constantly felt I was going to be sick
And by the time I got to Bench Lunges I was really suffering with constant lower back spasms every time I went into the lunge. Meant I couldn't balance properly as the pain threw me off.

Last 2 days training with Rob, he's moving onto a new job next week, so it means my last week of off season training by myself before starting the new diet which he gave me today
Chest workout was good, pause presses are so much tougher than a standard bench press. You may bench press 80-100kg, but I guarentee you'll struggle to do 3 sets at 60kg. Just stopping for half a second at the bottom, resting it on the catchers. Epic pump from the tricep superset at the end of the day
I was really chuffed today as I deadlifted 140kg for 2 sets of reps, so will no doubt feel that tomorrow, but it was good. Was a massive struggle last set and I had to use a belt but was good.
2 sets of 50 curls, even with 6kg is so tough as he makes you keep strict form throughout, so even when it hurts you can't just chuck them out, but it gets the blood in the muscle for the rest of the exercises

Last 2 days training with Rob, he's moving onto a new job next week, so it means my last week of off season training by myself before starting the new diet which he gave me today
Chest workout was good, pause presses are so much tougher than a standard bench press. You may bench press 80-100kg, but I guarentee you'll struggle to do 3 sets at 60kg.

Pump: 8/10 Not as great as I'd read but my arms feel huge right now, I have the old "can't answer the phone" problem which means a good pump. I even have some vascularity, which at my bf right now is pretty good.
Energy 10/10 This stuff is insane. About 20 minutes after taking it I started feeling really fidgety and hyper. Like I didn't want to just sit down, I wanted to be walking about doing stuff. By the time I'd got to the gym, I was buzzing. No jitters or anything bad like that but just sheer energy. After every set I felt like I could go straight away. I did my deadlifts and was just churning out the reps and although short of breath in between sets, still felt like I wanted to just jump straight into the next set. There's still a massive amount of energy left now I'm back at my desk, I feel like I've worked hard, but still feel like I could go for a run or something to use all this energy
Focus 9/10 Didn't want to do anything but my sets. No chatting, no checking out the TV, even when Rihanna was on the music channel
Strength 10/10 The weights just felt like I could up them, and I did on everything bar deadlifts. I can't describe the feeling, I felt like it was heavier than I'm used too but at the same time it felt like I'd be able to finish the set with no issues which I did. Really impressive stuff and probably helps with the pump
Taste 4/10 Lemon and lime tastes faintly of lemon and lime, but it's got a very unpleasant taste that dominates it. But like any supplement, I don't drink them to enjoy it, I just neck it and get it out the way
Overall 9/10 Only my first day, but what a first impression. I only took the minimum 1 scoop but that feels like it will be more than enough for a while. It's incredible value at £19.99, which if you stick to 1 scoop will last you 2 months or so. I used N.O Xplode for a few months before this and that wasn't as intense as this even on the first dose. And unlike N.O Xplode, I don't feel like I'm about to crap my guts out due to Jack3d having little to no magnesium in it.
Ok as its you I will take some interest in the results.
Would you really rate it? Too many BS reviews and idiots who have no idea about placebo out there for me to really care before.
I do rate it mate
I've been taking it since and I missed it on Monday this week as I just totally forgot. And I definitely missed that intensity. It's a weird feeling, you're not fidgety and hyper but you just feel like in between sets you don't need as long as you normally would and you just want to jump straight back into it, because you have that much energy
I did try Ultimate NOX, which was from the gym I trained at and that was insane, far more intense than Jack3d but not in a good way, heart racing, light headedness and it made things uncomfortable at times. But Jack3d is a perfect balance
I'm on 2 scoops now, I did try 3 once and it was a bit intense haha

I thought you had to stop using it so you dont fail the drugs test? Good luck with the cutting, I'm enjoying it as progress is so much quicker!
