Why Does USPLabs Jack 3d Supplement Put Every Other Pre-Workout Product To Shame?

Up to 77% of pre-workout powders on the market today are nothing but unhealthy, Insulin-soaring, fat-storing fillers! Shocking, but true, over three-fourths of what you consume on a daily basis is nothing but ineffective filler that can actually cause you to GAIN body fat!
Not only is this detrimental to your gains, but it shoots prices through the roof. After all, it costs big bucks to ship now-a-days. Also, larger packaging costs more than smaller packaging. In essence, you're not only paying for fillers but floating the shipping bill as well!
So why do these companies do this?
It’s simple really; larger packaging takes up more shelf space, and the consumer has been trained to think "bigger is better"...so you are fooled into thinking you are getting more active ingredients than you really are. But in this case, bigger not only means more expensive, but more dangerous as well.
These fillers mainly consist of evil, fattening maltodextrin, large amounts of magnesium & artificial dyes--Not good to say the least!


Here's the breakdown

MALTODEXTRIN (Worse Than Sugar!)
We all know maltodextrin is an absolute killer to your physique, causing insulin to shoot through the roof and put your body into fat storing mode (NOT what you want any time, let alone as you're headed into your workout).
Many of you reading this just got the answer to why your fat loss has come to a dead halt. The supplement promoted to help is ultimately hindering your goals!
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?
Is your pre-workout product making you fat? If it has maltodextrin (i.e. "glucose polymers") then it certainly is.
MAGNESIUM
The leading Pre-workout Pump products are LOADED with Magnesium.
Now, we need magnesium for a lot of reasons, but more is NOT better & can have serious side effects and health risks. Here are some magnesium facts:
  • National Academy of Sciences has set the upper tolerable limit of magnesium for adults at 350mg/day – that's equivalent to just one scoop of most products.
  • Magnesium is also used as a filler - 3.5 grams each scoop is compromised from the Magnesium.
  • Magnesium at high doses is used therapeutically as a laxative.
  • The high Magnesium in this product is the reason people get the runs, not because of the stimulant effect.
How many times do we have to read about guys having to leave their workouts - or missing their workouts entirely - because they were stuck in the bathroom? Why take a product that is supposed to get you pumped for the gym when it will cause you to have to skip the gym? It's the magnesium that's causing this, NOT the stimulants. Jack3d contains no magnesium, so there's no issues.
ARTIFICIAL COLORING
Virtually all pre-workout powders contain an enormous amount of artificial coloring at levels deemed extremely dangerous. The leading pre-workout pump products all contain different mixes of artificial food coloring.
When you ingest this stuff you're eating petroleum – That's right, straight up coal & tar...yum, yum!! Jack3d contains ONLY natural flavoring and coloring.
FLUFF INGREDIENTS
Ever wonder why there are 500 ingredients in a single product, when it's obvious that the ingredients are added in such miniscule amounts they wouldn't even have an effect on an ant!
Well, the majority of the ingredients listed are there in trace amounts, meaning they won't do a damn thing for you, except deceive you into thinking you're getting ingredients that will actually help you.
You won't find trace amounts of any ingredient in Jack3d, just the active ingredients and the proper amounts that will deliver dramatic results every time.

More reasons to buy jacked...
 
You do, but you don't want to be forking out money for it. Thats why you mix your own in, such as dextrose from Coles.

Don't get me wrong, I don't use this kinda crap... but the article above says:

MALTODEXTRIN (Worse Than Sugar!)
We all know maltodextrin is an absolute killer to your physique, causing insulin to shoot through the roof and put your body into fat storing mode (NOT what you want any time, let alone as you're headed into your workout).

This seems to say that you don't want an insulin spike before training???

I've been having BNs pre workout stuff, mixed with 10-15g dextrose.
 
You don't want to be forcing it to such an extreme...most people aren't aware of the glucose polymers being maltodextrin. And you get charged buttloads for something you could basically mix yourself.
 
I'm taking the piss..

I saw the " fattening maltodextrin" and "dangerous ingredients / magnesium" in the same paragraph and couldn't help it...

Dno what idiots read this marketing crap and buy into it.

If you compete in a tested sport (WADA tested that is) this crap will ruin you.
From the manufacturers themselves:

"Additionally, if you are being tested under WADA standards then you would not pass due to the 1,3 dimethylamylamine in Jack3d. See the 2010 WADA Banned Substances list. It is best to consult with your testing administrator to see if the ingredients are allowed or not. We cannot advise you on how long you would need to be off of it."
 
My little sister got me a tub of this stuff for my birthday. Its actually good at waking me up for a training session when I'm buggered from work.

No more than a coffee would though....
 
Hahaha Jack3d isn't as nearly as funny as muscletech, those guys have mastered comedy.

Nano Vapor extract:

"In the deepest recesses of every iron warrior’s being; an animal of unstoppable intensity stirs. If ever unleashed, its devastating wrath would change your workouts forever. If your most primal instincts were called upon, this warrior would wreak havoc in the gym. Charging through the weights with unchained intensity, your muscles would experience mind-blowing gains in size and strength. And the monstrous physique you’ve always wanted would be yours. Well, that time has finally come...."

I was about to comment before reading the thread lol.

The amount of times ive been told by people on here to mix maltodextrin in my pre-work to create the insulin spike made me want to question the post. Glad I read through the rest of the thread though lol
 
Jokes aside, Jack3d is the best pre workout I have tried thus far..

And no you don't need to use pre workout supps but I enjoy cycling them on occasion.
 
the best pre-workout supp I have ever used is a 600g steak with melted cheese, steak sauce and baked sweet potatoes.
I felt awesome.
 
bro thats not a supp.. thats a meal..
thats a nice looking meal except change the steak sauce for bbq sauce, and id probably eat that post workout as its personally too big a meal for me to eat pre workout.
