Great to hear. Did you receive your sample of PowerFULL as well?
Yes I did.... Thanks!
As for the Jacked... The first thing I noticed was an ever so slight feeling of parasthesia from the beta alanine. If I had to guess, I'd say there's about 1g per scoop, possibly a bit less. I also got hit with a rather sudden urge to :dump:. Nothing horrible, so I just brushed it off and went on my way.
By the time I got to the gym, I had plenty of energy to throw down a full back workout in the 45 minutes I had until the gym closed (which is part of the reason why I brushed off the poo urge.) The energy was borderline jittery for me. I usually take one 60mg cap of NP Geranium Extract pre-workout and I can say I had more energy with the Jacked, but not as clean as straight 1,3-dimethyl.
Pumps were pretty solid for it being a back day. Back felt really full and my arms and forearms were also feeling really good. But my arm day and chest day are my two favorite days to judge a product's pump effectiveness.
The stomach discomfort continued through the entire workout and I even felt like I mighta puked after a few of the really tough sets. That feeling lasted until I came home and hit the bathroom. It seemed as though I was just really gassy... Lots of indigestion...
Another thing I noticed out of the ordinary was the smell of my urine. Absolutely disgusting! But for as rank ass as the stench was, the color was pretty much completely clear.
Overall, it seems as though this is a great pre-workout supplement, especially for the price. Decent focus and plenty of energy. None of the fluff that other companies throw in. Just the solid basics. I like it because I can add in the things that I know work really well for me. This is just a solid base to start with.
I will continue to update this review until the end of next week. I wanna try this stuff out exclusively for an entire week's worth of workouts and then go from there. I'd like to find out if the stomach discomfort, funky piss smell, jitters, etc. can all actually be attributed to the Jacked or if they were associated with something else. It wouldn't be a fair review otherwise.....
