Everyone who has heard about pre-workouts would have surely heard about the number one selling pre-workout called Jack3d. It was the number one selling pre-workout on BodyBuilding.com for a while before it was banned in the USA. Everything I base my purchases on I do a significant amount of research into peoples first hand experience and also how it ranks against the Top 50 selling supplements on BodyBuilding.com which is the biggest fitness and bodybuilding site in the world . Anyway at the time all the hype was behind this product called Jack3d.
Before using pre-workouts I would basically just hit up a couple spoons of coffee and just skull it before a workout. Anyway moving one I decided to make the step and purchase this pre-workout. At the time it cost me around $50 picked it up in the original flavour (cannot remember). After reading the recommended dosage I mixed up my first dose of Jacked. Took around 20 mins for it to feel anything and the first thing that hits is that tingling sensation on your skin. Some say its annoying but for some reason I kind of liked it. Hit the gym and I just couldnt wake to pick up the weights. I used to for 2 weeks before it didnt have any effect on me at all. I thought it was a bust but people sweard by it. Anyway after that I decided to try a number of other famous pre-workouts. Some of those included Mesomorph, Craze, No Xplode, MP Assualt and Cellucor C4.
After a while looking at the amount of money I spend on the pre-workouts and what it would cost me I decided to take a break from it. Some of the other pre-workouts which I just mentioned did work but also had some negatives which would make me switch or stop all together. After apporximately 6 months without taking any sort of pre-workout I decided to use it again and this time since the hype with Jack3d was still strong I thought I would give it another try. I purchased the green apple flavour which was very nice and easy to drink, I never exceeded 1 scoop with approximately 250mls of cold water and only took it on workout days. Without fail it would push me through my workouts and the amount of weights I would be pushing steadily increased. It took around 40 mins for it be in full effect but it did what it claimed. This time I finished the whole tub and unfortunately only purchased the one tub before the DMAA ban came in and it would no longer be purchased. Now its not available here in Australia but I new version called Jack3d Micro is available which I have yet to try. How I rate Jack3d is below –
Taste – 8/10
Effectivness – 9/10
Value – 9/10
Overall – 9/10
