ACG3 Pre-Workout Supplement

[Jeff7181]

I got a couple samples of this stuff at GNC when I was buying protein powder and multi-vitamins. Apparently it's supposed to be similar to Jack3d. I tried it yesterday before my workout and I'm trying it again today. The salesman at GNC warned me that it'll give me a warm tingly feeling like a 5 hour energy drink. I drank it 30 minutes ago and I feel nothing, just like I felt nothing yesterday.

Has anyone used this before? If so, have you noticed whether it makes a difference or not?
Does it have any detrimental side effects? (quick google search didn't find any)

Is it the same as Jacked or no? Link to a label? (Never tried it - just curious).

 

[Jeff7181]

Yeah, it's supposed to be like Jack3D. I had a terrible experience with it last night.

I drank the stuff at around 5:30 and started working out at 6:15. About 35 minutes into my P90X Arms & Shoulders workout I got dizzy, vision was blurred and I almost passed out. I laid on the floor with my feet up on the bed for about a half hour, then spent about 30-45 minutes on the toilet, started to get nauseous then spent another hour or so on the bathroom floor. Room spinning the entire time. My girlfriend made me some toast so I ate that and drank some water and got into bed, dozed off for a while and woke up around 1 in the morning and puked. Puked up nothing cause I hadn't eaten since I had a protein shake at about 3:30 in the afternoon. I planned on having dinner after my workout and a shower. Somehow that helped me feel better though even though there was basically just a little phlegm that was coming up. Went back to bed around 2 and probably got back to sleep by 3. Got up a few times throughout the night to go to the bathroom cause I drank a ton of water while throwing up. Got up around 10 in the morning and my girlfriend made me more toast. But for the rest of the day today I've felt like I've had a massive hangover.

I'm not sure if it's actually the supplement that caused all this, or if it was something else. I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary so I doubt it would have been food poisoning. I may have been hydrated enough... but I've worked out while not properly hydrated before and stuff like this didn't happen. Regardless, I don't think I'm going to try these pre-workout things again.

Does it list 1,3 D on the label? That's in Jack3d, and from person to person it either seem to perform pure magic, or it makes them feel like total crap. Jack3d is super stim heavy and if a persons sensitive to stims it's one of the worst PWO's you could take. What you said happened to you sounds way more serious than a stim crash to me, but I wouldn't rule it out. Mind you I'm not even a bro scientist so my words here and just ideas based off what I've read on other forums.

from what ive heard from other people that use jacked, they say they get a tingly feeling also. i think it might have to do with the amount you take.

i do only one scoop (its small), and that seems to be enough for me. i dont feel any tinglyness or otherwise negative side effects...it just puts me 'in the zone' and makes me focus better and harder. i can workout harder and longer with it than without. i have a feeling though if i stepped it up to 2 scoops it would be too much and i would probably experience some of the things you're talking about.

In general pre workout mixes are crap. The ingrediants that give you that tingly feeling are mostly what yo uare paying for. Things that studies have shown to benefit you are not in proper amounts in those supplements. Those supplements just give you a small body buzz to make you think it is working.

save money and just drink a pot of coffee before your workout. It's the same effect.

I tried L-arganine in it's proper amount for a while. I think there is some placebo like effect from it but no real effect.

Ive never had that bad of a reaction to Jack3d before so Im curious to see that stuff. The worst thing Ive had from jack3d is a day I took some and than on the way to the gym something came up and I didnt get to go. I felt as if I didnt get to work it out of my system and I couldnt get to sleep that night. Never have I felt sick from it thought. Hope you feel better!

1, 3 dimethylamylamine works wonders for me, my workouts have been cut down drastically since I've switched off Jack3D. My current pre-workout is junk and I got something new for when it runs out(n.o. xplode 2.0 cheap as dirt) and if that doesn't do any better I'm going back to Jack3D... I also respond well to creatine.

I'm going back to Jack3D.

Try the watermelon Jack3d, its taste great. I know that taste doesnt really matter but just like to recommend it.

You should look into Craze, the fools on Bobybuilding.com's forums all have a permanent erection about it. I don't think I've ever seen a product get that kind of love. It doesn't have 1,3 D, but it also isn't full of stims so you're not really suppose to build up a tollerance to it like you will with Jack3d or the other stim heavy PWO's. I too went from Jack3d to N.O. Xplode 2. And the Xplode did nothing for me. I'm using Musclepharm Assault now, I don't get the extreme tingle I got from Jack3d but I seem to have a ton of clean energy from it.

Assault is what I'm using now and it's worthless, for me. I might as well take nothing but I want to use it all anyway, no point in wasting money. I'll check out Craze after I use all the N.O. Xplode. Or see if I can get some samples and test it out before I drop more cash on something that may or may not help me any.

Which Assault do you have? The old formula wasn't anything special, the new one they made a lot of changes to the profile. This is the new container.

this is the old one which is kinda t3h sUx.

If you like 1,3 D and Jack3d worked for you, go to Nutrishop and ask for a sample of N'Sane, which is their house brand. It's like Jack3d on crack, similar profile just a lot more stims in it. I'm pretty stim tolerant, but the 1 time I took it I had about 10 times the energy that I got from Jack3d. The tingly I got from it was so intense I couldn't feel my legs, it was like they were asleep but I was still able to jog. It was scary and at the same time amazing.

o nice that N'Sane has yohimbine.. i like that stuff lulz.. sorry op but i busted up laughing at your post. sounds terrible i feel bad you prob should have eaten. I take jack3d a lot of times tried 2 scoops and didnt feel tingling or anything just helps me throw a few more reps.. Today i struggled tho with my sets had to lower the weight not sure why maybe the lack of sleep last night did it.
