Thread: Do pre-workout products really work?

Tell your Dad to try 3 scoops of USP Labs Jacked.

"Jacked" is crazy shit.

jack3d, creatine, etc etc do aid in small but sure ways. To some they affect a lot more then others. If you take as prescribed and wait to let it kick in. It will help.

I've posted about that stuff before but I've been using it over a year and the intensity is still there. Only using two scoops.

Thanks a lot guys. I'll be sure to show him this.

How much does Jack3d cost? How long does it last as well?

Do a Google search. Anywhere from $25-$35. How long it lasts depends on how much you use. Look at the nutritional info on the label to get the serving size and how many per container.

Alright, I'll probably start off with one scoop than move up if necessary. That's a damn good price if it works as well as everyone says. Thanks a lot.

Is it cheaper to buy online or in a store such as Complete Nutrition?

Before you go with Jack3d, give Anadraulic State GT a try. It's significantly more inexpensive yet it still provides the same or better effects. You'll also be supporting a board sponsor --- it's a good way to give back to the board.

Pre workout drinks typically contain a lot of caffeine as well as nutrients that enhance the pump - meaning they increase blood flow allowing nutrients to get to your muscles faster and waste products removed faster. If they contain creatine that would mean not only cell volumization but also increased muscular endurance. The point of these drinks is to enhance your energy and mental intensity allowing you to train harder and they increase the pump you get when you train. If your dad doesn't feel anything it's because he's adjusted to caffeine - as you use any caffeine product you will adjust over time and you will not get the same effect. The other thing is that they do contribute to muscle growth through sarcoplasmic hypertrophy - a type of muscle growth where the fluid surrounding the muscle fibers increases. You won't "feel" this but it is occurring! You might suggest a cheaper product to make it easier on your dad but you should be using something!

Wish I would have read that before I went to the store today! Oh well that will be my next pre-workout purchase.


@js5660: Explains why he doesn't feel anything. Two Pepsi's (minimal) a day everyday probably got him used to it caffeine. And I rarely have caffeine. Thanks a dude.

Tried Jack3d. It worked out even better than what I had expected. Thanks guys. Although it made my skinny have this prickly sensation that was really weird. It didn't bother me just hasn't happened to me before.

My only disappointment was I had to cut my workout short to do something.

PRE MAX by PP is a good stim free one. or add a coffee to it .
also andraulice state is nice to combine with it for a crazy kick.

I stick to the basics, I use the following two products pre-workout:

• Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL (CEE)
• Nitro4™ - Nitric Oxide Stimulator with AAKG
