I have not tried Jacked as of yet.. I am hard core fan of Universal... But after I have read from different forms on the USPLabs Jacked it got my Attention. Just the ingredient alone in Jacked got me thinking… See below I need some help… Anyone out in the world tried both Shock and jacked and has an honest option

Oh no...not another one of these...:poke:

Seriously, I have tried both. Both are quite strong in the stim department. Jacked being the newer product is going to get more hype, and probably more support in this thread, but Shock Therapy gets the job done too.
I'm not sure which product to reccomend here...

Jacked has a great stim complex and a couple basic ingredients that are PROVEN to work: Crea Mono, Beta Alanine, dont remember what else is in there, but it's pretty basic (which isnt always bad)

Shock Therapy has a lot more complex make-up including Citrulline Malate (which I believe Jacked is lacking) and an anti-oxidant Complex. The down side is it's a proprietary blend, so who knows how much you are getting of these.

Overall, I would say go with Shock for 2 reasons:

1- You're a self proclaimed Universal fan. If you know their products work for you, why gamble. Shock Therapy WILL work as a pre workout supp. I assure you that.

2 - Value. Although Jacked has a slightly lower price tag, it has 45 scoops to Shock's 50. I used 3 scoops of Jacked and never needed more than one of Shock. So in reality, for me that's 15 servings vs. 50 servings. Big difference.

Good luck bro. You'll most likely be happy with which ever product you pick.

One more thing...Universal takes care of their customers. I've witnessed them give away 6 products in the last week on this board alone, none of which asked for a log, or an endorsment, or anything but a mailing address. USP may do that, I don't know, but I've never seen it.

I have been using ST and pump for a long time... i was thinking of changing because i wanted something different but more read and more i dug into USP the more i was thinking i have to have a good reason why i want to change.... i have not found it yet

There's no shortage of PreWO supplements on the market. Keep reading on this board; just do searches for "PreWorkout" or "Best ____" and you will find tons of threads. Gather reviews, read logs, and then try the one that sounds the most promising to you. Many companies even send out samples of their products if you request them. Everybody has their own personal favourites; explore and try different ones.

I had the original Jacked, so I can't speak of the new version. Although I believe the only difference is suppposed to be the Name "Jack3d" and the absence of sodium bicarbonate, which shouldn't really make any difference in terms of effect.
Either way, I speak of my own experience. Jack3d could impact someone else completely differently than what my experience has shown, so take it as one opinion, and consider it among other user feedback.

id stick with shock personally. i havent tried the new jack3d, i got the ic deal. the first time i took jacked i took one scoop because i just couldnt wait and it was great took another scoop about 2 hours later and it was like i took both at the same time, it was the greatest thing i had ever taken!! the euphoria energy and stamina were amazing.. it was never the same again, before it was all over i was taking 3 scoops at ~170 lbs and it barely gave me any energy. so my tolerance built very quickly

never had this problem with shock, same results every time. it is my fav as far as just a kick in a$$ when needed esp considering cost

but thats just my opinion. the only way to find out is try it out bro, everone is different

I have not tried Jack3d yet, and may in the future, but I am a huge supporter of Universal, and did enjoy ST. I got a good jump out of it for my workouts, whihc was helpful on more strenuous days

if i'm not mistaken, both products contain caffeine. i bring this out because i'm doing my best to steer clear of caffeine as part of my acne treatment. what would be a caffeine-free alternative to products like ST and Jack3d?

I am not a big fan of USP labs or AAKG, but the original version of Jacked was great. It wasn't as good tasting as claimed, but I had solid workouts and a nice stim and BA effect with 3 scoops. The only downside is, 3 scoops would only fuel 15 workouts.

Now I've only sampled Shock Therapy, it was solid, less of a stimulant effect than Jacked, and it contains a potentially dangerous compound: Glycocyamine.

Two of my favorites are CL White Flood and AE's PreSurge for pre-workout, and now I am currently loggin Ultima, which has some good benefits for a non-stimulant pre/peri-workout drank.

You could run Animal Pump and drop the red capsule (stims)... But the energy you get from Pump is diff than from Shock... Milder, cleaner, smoother but longer-lasting... And Pump is currently being sampled for free so, pick up a sample for anyone interested.

Glycocyamine was dropped a long time ago...

Glycocyamine is the compound cytosport pulled out of their muscle milk product, right?

Hello Rep: Question for you about shock and Usp jacked
:Below is what USP is saying about other PO drinks. I Know that ST and Intra-aid has Maltodextrin. Can you comment on this ... I love you all product I have been using them for years...



FACTS about Maltodextrin:

Maltodextrin has a glycemic index of 105 – That's sky-high on the chart - 5 Points higher than Glucose & 44 points higher than sucrose (Yep, that's straight-up table sugar!)
Maltodextrin is found in large quantities in all the top selling pre-workout pump products.
Most products contain between 6 to 11 grams of maltodextrin per scoop - With 2-3 scoops being required for effective dose!
A "hardcore" dose of popular powders will yield up to 33 grams of Maltodextrin! That's 72-132 calories super-high GI carbs! Same as a can of soda!! -Maltodextrin is simply added as a filler to deceive you into thinking you are getting more for your money.
And, to make things even shadier, Maltodextrin is often cleverly disguised on the label as "glucose polymers." How do we know they are being deceptive? That's a lot of carbs – why do they try to disguise it?
High amounts of maltodextrin is what you pay for with those other formulas. Shipping, bigger packages & bottles all cost more. Who do you think is covering these costs?

Yep, same problem as me and the HGW fixed it. If it was still a problem I was going to add Maca as well but at the moment it's not warranted.

Maca is good for the libido though.

i have used both shock therapy and jacked, shock therapy wasn't what i expected and i posted this on the animal/universal threads, i didn't get much of a pump and no energy to speak of, as for jacked, i really like the energy i get and the focus in the gym sometimes i don't want to leave and force myself out, i am a small guy though so the beta alanine in the jacked not only gives me tingles but makes me feel like i have a sweater on in the gym and makes the top of my ears feel like their on fire, so i learned to eat some carbs about a half hour before taking the jacked, but imo i liked jacked better but i do like universal products, i just should have purchased animal pump instead

Your positive you didn't get Storm instead? Shock therapy if anything is too strong in the stim department. I have never heard the opposite from anyone.

Ok I have been taking Jack3D For the 3 days now it working for me I love shock Therapy and pump as stated but I hate myself saying this MRjacked3D has more of a focus feel to it like pump. ST seems to missing this, Plese look up my review for Jacked3D. But with ST I take 1.5 but I do not get the real foucs...
