A friend of mine left the country and couldn’t take his shops with him. He gave me a little tub of lemon lime flavored Jack3d and I decided to try it out since I had heard lots of good things.
The first workout I took 2 scoops and didnt feel anything. Didn’t feel all amped up or any extra focus or anything like that. The second time I took 3 scoops and felt a little tingly 20 minutes after taking it but that only lasted for 30 seconds maybe and then nothing.
I don’t know what the deal is. anyone else have a similar experience?
BACKGROUND INFO:
I don’t currently take a pre workout. I tried NO Explode a few years ago and “felt it”. I used Surge WO Fuel two year ago for 4 months and liked it. I don’t drink coffee, I don’t drink soda, I don’t take any stims.

I used to take it before my workout at 5am and after about a three week period I was finding that I couldn’t “come down” from it even by 9 at night. I didn’t think it was effecting me at first but once it built up for a bit it really seemed to fuck with me and NOT in a good way.
Felt it the first few times, now i don’t get any buzz or anything like it. I have more energy when i actually start doing stuff (ie. the bike ride to the gym is silly easy, i probably get a few more reps in then without). But no buzz like i do with Nox. People i know who also do it agrees that you become “resistant” to it fairly quick.

how long after your last meal did you take it? you need at least 1.5-2hrs after your pre workout meal just to feel anything from jack3d, in my experience.
It has 1 3 dimethylamylamine in it which certainly has an effect.
Maybe you’re just not very sensitive to stims. In line with what onmyown32 said, if I’m training in the evening I can’t take it or it can fuck up my sleep. That being said, I do have to take breaks from it from time to time or the effect dulls from regular use.
OMO- the two times I’ve taken it have been around 5:30pm and i’ve been in bed both nights sound asleep by 10 lol. Definitely not having that effect.
Azroth- Maybe I became resistant to it on my first dose? hahah wouldnt that suck?
wannabebig- Thats a good question. It doesnt say anything on the bottle about taking it that far after eating a meal but both times it was at least an hour after eating something. Maybe I’ll try waiting longer
Raj- I dont think my body reacts to stims. I’ll have a redbull on occasions cause I like the taste but they dont keep me awake or anything. I could wake up in the middle of the night, chug a redbull and go right back to sleep with no ill effects lol. Maybe I just wasnt meant to be a pre workout kinda guy.

the bottle doesnt say it, no. but from experience i can tell you 1.5-2 hrs makes a HUGE difference. youll really feel the stimulant effect and tingles.

Thanks for the info everyone. appreciate it.[/quote]
You’re like my friend.
He drinks coffee before bed because it helps him sleep
i was off of stims for months. bought a tub of jack3d and within 2-3 weeks 3 scoops was doing nothing for me
i always took on an empty stomach usually 2-3 hours at least.
the BEST pre energy supp i have ever taken is hemo rage black ultra concentrated version. i only take like 1/2-2/3 scoop and it blows 3 scoops jack3d out of the water.
not really like a jitter-inducing product either. very controlled and consistent energy
Ink- the stuff is brand new. Just opened the day before he gave it to me.
Took 4 scoops today and hadn’t eaten for 3 hours prior. Got a little bit of that tingly feeling about 30 minutes later and a little energy but not much. Took it 3 hours ago and I’m really sleepy now lol. Guess it’s just not for me

if were talking hands down pure energy, BPI 1MR is THE BEST ive ever taken. 300mg caffeine, geranium, tyrosine, and a bunch of other goodies in one scoop.
first time i took it i ended up doing two workouts back to back that took almost 3 hours haha.

i’ve heard good things but recently some dumbass like OD’d on it in the states and since they have dramatically reduced the amount of 1,3D in it so i never tried.

This happened to me with N.O. Explode. Jack3d works pretty well for me on an empty stomach followed by a shake about 30-45 minutes later. It’s not a godsend but it helps with intensity. Apparrantly individuals respond differently; gotta experiment around.

hemo rage black! honestly i will be very surprised if you dont ever touch jack3d again
edit: the one in the small can not the big tub… i think it says “ultra concentrated version” on the label.
