This will be my first review here and I'll start off with letting everyone know that it takes a LOT of "stimulant" to get me going. In all honestly I think I've tried every pre-workout stim on the market in one way or another. This includes an insane assortment of NO products, Ephedra/drine stacks, herbal supps, hundreds of mg's of caffeine, etc. Some worked OK at best. The most effective would be the ECA stack, but as most know, your body acclimates to it very quickly and builds a tolerance to the point that you would eventually have to take a couple of hundred mg's of the ephedra, caffeine, and aspirin to get you going (in my experience anyhow).
That all said, I thought I would give "Jack3d" a try. It has nothing but good reviews and I figured since I had tried everything else on the market, what's another $30. Yes, you read correctly, this stuff is only $30 where as anything comparable would run you nearly double.
Upon first look, you won’t be impressed. its a small little white tub, no fancy design or colors, just the name of it, what is does and what’s in it.
Opened it up and took a whiff, not horrible, but nothing to write home about either. Smelled like a bad mix of lemonade and some sort of foul sweetener.
The next morning I woke up around 5am as usual and added the recommended 1 scoop to my mixer bottle and filled it up with some cold water. The stuff doesn’t taste that great, Im not gonna lie. But, it’s not intolerable either, just tastes like a funky lemonade or lemon lime drink. I drank this stuff during my 35 minute commute to the gym. By the time I arrived around 5:45 I was finished.
Im not one to exaggerate or get any sort of "placebo effect" from reading reviews...quite the opposite actually. If the stuff is half way decent, you'll probably hear me tell you its not very good. Jack3d is F'N OUTSTANDING. I kid you not, by the time I hit the gym I wasn’t all cracked out like I would feel from popping my 15 ephedra pills, but rather just had this clean, mellow, focused feeling. This feeling stayed with me through my entire workout. I know this was a fairly drawn out post just to say this stuff is good, but I just wanted to ensure that everyone knows this stuff is the real deal. So if it takes a shit ton of any of the stims out there to get you goin and you're sick of spending $100 a week on your habit, give this stuff a try.
The other thing I noticed is that I didn’t experience a crash. Don’t get me wrong, the stuff didn’t last all day or anything, as a matter of fact, by 11am the stuff had definitely run its course and the focus and energy it provided was gone, but it went away as clean and as subtle as it came about. Anyway, this stuff is great and I would highly recommend it as a pre-workout supp.
