My JP8 Journal

[Jayhawkk]

I ordered a bottle of JP8 from Nutraplanet and I just received it today. Since I haven't ran a log in a while so i'll give a bit of a background on myself.

Im 33 and have a bit of a chaotic lifestyle. I work rotating shifts and have a lot of additional duties within my career that take a lot of time and I have suffered some injuries that have limited my gym time, from time to time. I lift for strength and size and can put on muscle pretty decently but I also battle with fat gain. Sometimes eating clean takes a backseat to paying for a divorce, if you follow

I had a bad gluten allergy flare up about 2 years ago that has only recently subsided. I don't supplement with creatine or protein and my only current supplement stack is a Multi-V, iron pill(borderline anemic), Celebrex and Alieve for back pain stemming from a fractured back that likes to act up on occasion.

I've recently (2 months ago) picked up daily cardio with all my workout days. Up to 2 miles ran outside on a track. I will run on my non workout days and every once in a while will add the run after my workout.



This reveiw is one done without any product sponsoring by Get Diesel. I spent my own money to try a couple new products that i've never tried before and this was one of them.

 

[Jayhawkk]

My workout is a 6 day cycle, for the most part. Sometimes things don't end up that way but more often than not, this is how I work out:

Day 1: Chest/Calves/Light Bi's
Run 1.5 Miles
Day 2: Back/light Tris
Run 1.5 Miles
Day 3: Day off
Sprints at 1/8 mile then walk 1/4 mile
Day 4: Bi's/tri's
Run 1 Mile
Day 5: Legs/Calves
Run 1 Mile
Day 6: Shoulders
Run 2 Miles@1/4 Mile run 1/8 Mile walk

Notes:
I just finished shoulders today, so tomorrow my first dose will be on Day 1 of my workout as well. My diet is pretty good. I don't drink sodas, I don't eat fast fod and a lot of my food is low fat and low carb but i'm also paying for a divorce and sometimes my food comes at a cost to my normal choices. It's never cake over steak but sometimes its cheap ass bread over the good kind, as an example.

I'm looking forward to giving JP8 a try.

 

[Jayhawkk]

Current supps:

Multi-V@ 1ED
Iron@1ED
Celebrex@ 200MG ED
Aleive@ 220MG ED

All above are what I am always on and below is what i've currently added to this.

JP8@ 1 scoop on workout days building up to 3 scoops on workout days depending on effects/sides.
Uni-Liver@ Suggested dose
Havoc *special cycle*

 

[Jayhawkk]

I did want to add that I opened up the container and was suprised at the fact that there was so much space but I counted the servings and it was on plus 1 serving extra. So it was all good!

 

[Jayhawkk]

Just mixed my first dose of JP8. I mixed it with 20 oz bottle of fruit punch G-2. I had to shake it up quite a bit which caused about an inch of foam on the top. Seemed to mix up in the G-2 pretty good but I wouldn't suggest mixing it with an energy drink or moutain dew based off the amount of shaking needed to be done... My next dose is going to be mixed in at a 1/4 scoop at a time. That may allow it to mix much easier.

About 3 minutes later sitting on the counter and the foam has dropped to about a half an inch and very little JP8 settled. However, when I move to a higher dose (2 and 3 scoops) i'll be doing it in a larger container.

 

[Jayhawkk]

I drank the JP8 prior to the gym per label directions.

JP8 Notes:
No real smell to speak of while drinking it down.
No floaties but I did tip it over 2-3 times twice during drinking it to remix some that fell out of the solution
Not a bad taste but it's more of an acid lemon flavor over lemonade.
Slight weird feeling left on my tongue that I couldn't place until a few minutes ago. It was the same sensation those pixie stixs left on your tongue

Energy/Focus
I could definitely feel a focus and it came on about 5 minute into my workout. I had a sudden tunnel vision feel and then it was hitting the weights nonstop, I lowered my rest time by a few seconds

Pump
I had a good pump and not overpowering which is what i'm looing for. I don't tink i'll have a need to up the dose as long as I don't build a tolerance since i'm working out so many days in a row. I do believe if you wanted that super pump it would be good to increase the dose prior to hitting the clubs

Stomach issues/nausea
None so far. No cramping, urge to hit the bathroom and no dizziness/nausea.


Workout Notes:
I missed my pre-run cardio due to heavy rain on the outside and heavy women on the inside. I am going to the movies with a buddy but i'll run tonight if the rain stops.

Nice job so far jay! I just received my JP8 from nutra. I'm looking forward to giving this a go.

Long story on the that, the JP8 bottles that were sent to my manufacture were not what I oredered and the label didnt fit, so I had to use NOS ETHER jars.

 

[TripDog]

Oh snap, the log is up and running. I just took mine now and will be hittin the gym in an hour. Good opening posts man.:thumbsup:

I mixed it in mountain dew, didnt need to shake it really.

Give it hell man.

 

[Steveoph]

Nice job so far jay! I just received my JP8 from nutra. I'm looking forward to giving this a go.

About time! I just had the craziest deadlifts today, then I went and did shoulders and tri's unplanned. Made myself get out of the gym after 90 minutes, sweating like a beast. And I still get away with 1.5 scoops :thumbsup:

Ah, that explains it lol. Because a full tub looks like

How are the workouts Jay. Taking the long weekend off?

 

[Jayhawkk]

Sorry about no updates... I actually did take a long weekend off on lifing due to this weekend being my work weekend. When I get off the gym is alredy closed but I did run each day.

Day 2
Ran 1.5 Miles and sprinted quarter track for another half mile

JP8 dose: half before the run and half after the run

Day 3
Ran 1.5 Miles at a slow jog

JP8 dose: half before the run and half after the run
*Both days were dosed at 1 scoop/20oz bottle of G-2


JP8 Notes:
I broke the serving down to thirds and shook the bottle between each additional 1/3 added and the mixing went flawless with nothing remaining at the bottom.

Energy/Focus
I found that breaking the JP8 down into before the run and after the run, allows me to have plenty of time between getting te full effect in the gym yet I still get the beginning focus/energy effect during the run without the pump

Pump
Nothing to report. Nothing noted during the run that caused any issues and I didn't lift weights

Stomach issues/nausea
None so far. No cramping, urge to hit the bathroom and no dizziness/nausea.


Workout Notes:
Run types listed above with nothing to add

JP8 Notes:
I upped the dose to two scoops and mixed it with a 32oz bottle of G-2 Grape and it helped in the battery terminal taste i seem to get. I'm looking for ways to mix it to eliminate it altogether but it isn't so bad that I would stop using it. However, I have found a nice gulp of water afterwards ca clear the taste.

Energy/Focus
Energy is defnitely in the 'great' category. If I were to rename this product I would have to call it "Tunnel Vision". I love the feel I get and if the right song is playing it just adds to the drive.

Pump
I was a nice pump. Just enough to feel the muscle being worked to where flexing it was easy. Sometimes I have a hard time getting my lats into the workout because it's hard to get the low flex. Today it hit pretty damn nice. I think the half before the run and half after is working perfectly in the timing dept.

Stomach issues/nausea
None so far. No cramping, urge to hit the bathroom and no dizziness/nausea.


Workout Notes:
Tried to keep rest to a minimum. I was getting pretty winded and dripping sweat but I was able to keep the tempo going.

 

[Jayhawkk]

Today will be Bi/Tri and i'm still going to keep the dose at 2 scoops in 32oz.

 

[striking]

Sub'ed on this! I love DTH and something tells me this is another great product hehe. Keep up the great work man!

Pump
I had a great pumps in my arms today and even that short Chest routine caused my chest to feel fuller from it.

Stomach issues/nausea
None


Workout Notes:
*I ended up walking for 2 miles. I ran the first lap and felt like **** My legs and shoulders just felt real painfully sore. Decided not to push it and get hurt. I have noticed some veins that I haven't seen in my arms before and the ones in my upper chest are getting more pronounced. I'll take pictures if it becomes more visible. Right now it's just blue, slightly raised veins... Gotta love high BF% lol

The focus is fukcing sick with this stuff. I can't figure out if that is the main aspect that I like or if it's the synergy between all of it. Either way I make sure not to miss my dose before the gym.

 

[Jayhawkk]

I no longer have an issue with the taste. I guess I finally got used to it. I do know what you mean about the focus. It's really hard to explain.

I just go into this chaotic stare fueled by some KoRn on my MP3 player, and it's just straight core.

It is intense man.

Going to have to wrap things up a bit short, although I will give current thoughts on JP8


I would have to recommend this product as one that does what it says it will do. I continue to use JP8 and my pumps and drive in the gym have not decreased as well as no tolerance building up as of yet. I will definitely by this in the future and I will be checking out other Get Diesel products as well.

I'm not ending this because of my lack of being in the gym. I'm actually starting atwice a day routine that includes cardio in one session and weights/walking in another. The reason is that I haven't really been keeping up with weights/sets the past several days and I really have enjoyed the change. I still roughly stay to my plan at the beginning but depending on how I feel I will add more bodyparts and different exercises and since it is changing day to day till I find the groove I want to stay in, I haven't tracked anything.

I will update this thread in the coming days/weeks and more in depth review when i'm done with the bottle but I can honestly say that at this point, I think JP8 is an excellent product.

Any final word on JP8 Jay, or are you still working through it?
