Jack 3d Supplement Ratings and Reviews

I was recently introduced to a new pre-workout supplement that claims to not only increase muscle pumps and endurance but also elevate strength and muscle size. I personally have never tried this product but have heard a lot of great things. It is called Jack 3d and is labeled as a pre exercise CNS-Carnosine-ATP Augmentor.

I did a bit of research on this product and was impressed by the ratings and claimed results from users. Not only did it get amazing reviews but it’s surprisingly inexpensive.

Here are some Jack 3d ratings

SupplementReview.com rated Jack 3d a 9.0 out of 10

Jack3d.com user reviews rated this product 9.2 out of 10

GNC.com user reviews rated this product 4 stars out of 5

NexTag.com rated Jack 3d 4 stars out of 5

Here is what users are saying about Jack 3d

Shawn said: “Within five minutes of taking Jack3d, my body started to get tingling/itching sensation, mostly in my face and my arms. With the combination of jack3d and my music, I have never gotten such a great workout in my life. My reps increased, and I didn't give in as much, and it just made me want to continue to workout”

Joncosme1984 from Orlando Fl said: “Oh boy this is the best pre workout drink i ever took the 1 day i took 1.5 scoops is was great the next day i took 2 full scoops and oh man!! 40 mins later i was pump up 3 hrs at the gym the wen back home and did the p90x like nothing”
Teamleitch from Spanaway WA said: “This stuff is great. Got a good pump. Gave me the energy to do one more set. Made my workout more intense”

JMK505 said: “ I noticed a rush of energy roughly 15 minutes after consumption every time. I started with 1.5 scoops then worked my way up to 3 for the last week of my 90 day cycle. I noticed no side effects except the ability to lift more weight with less strain.”

Specx420 said: “i have jacked for a while and i have to say its the best pre workout supplement i have tried it sent a tingling feeling in my body like grab something and bench it maybe a car ?”

There you have it people, great reviews and amazing ratings. The negative ratings I came across gave no real explanation as to why they were negative so I figured I’d ignore them. I hope this review has made it a lot easier on you making your decision on weather or not to try Jack 3d.

8 Workouts in One Day to Add Size to Your Physique

Are you tired of splitting up your routine into a series of high-volume training days? Do you feel that waiting a full 6 days between each body part workout is derailing your training efforts? Do you no longer see the point in pumping with machines and cables when what you feel your body really craves is a nice workout consisting of compound movements? Try this routine 2-3 times a week, and you'll quickly discover what you've been missing out on. This type of training is heavy, down n' dirty - but it will lead to results!

Rack Deadlifts

* 1 set x 12 repetitions
* 1 set x 8 repetitions
* 2 sets x 4-6 repetitions

Check the safety cage pin settings to ensure the barbell can rest at a location halfway between your knees and the floor. This allows you to go heavy by still experience a decent range of motion.

Incline Dumbbell Presses

* 1 set x 12 repetitions
* 1 set x 8 repetitions
* 2 sets x 4-6 repetitions

Use a spotter for the last two sets. These should be slow, smooth, controlled repetitions - but very heavy ones as well.

Chins

* 1 set x 12 repetitions
* 1 set x 8 repetitions
* 2 sets x 4-6 repetitions

If you are able to complete more than 4-6 repetitions on the last two sets, hang a 25 or 45 pound plate from your weight belt using a chain.

Squats

* 1 set x 12 repetitions
* 1 set x 8 repetitions
* 2 sets x 4-6 repetitions

Use a partner on these last two sets, as you'll be using 80 or 90% of your 1RM, and injury could occur.

Military Presses

* 1 set x 12 repetitions
* 1 set x 8 repetitions
* 2 sets x 4-6 repetitions

If you don't have a seated bench, simply stand up and raise the barbell overhead using standing barbell presses.

Skullcrushers

* 1 set x 12 repetitions
* 1 set x 8 repetitions
* 2 sets x 4-6 repetitions

Wear gloves and take very close notice of any slippage. With heavy weight on those last three sets, you could seriously injure yourself with this movement.

Biceps Curls

* 1 set x 12 repetitions
* 1 set x 8 repetitions
* 2 sets x 4-6 repetitions

Keep your form very solid and consistent on this movement!

For finishers, if you still have something in your, spend some time mixing in calf, forearm, and neck training. Remember, this isn't a standard bodybuilding physique designed to add symmetry and lines. Rather, this full-body routine is designed to add meat to your bones. This is best accomplished through the use of heavy, compound movements.

In addition to your heavy training, you should be sure you're eating more than enough calories (along with 400+ grams of protein daily) to keep the torn muscles healing. Also, adding a 45-minute nap to your daily routine, in addition to your required 7-8 hours nightly, will go a long way toward creating growth. Above all, train hard and heavy using the movements listed, and you'll see some new mass in no time!

The simple truth to muscle definition - Getting ripped fast

I am feeling a little controversial today. There are so many common suggestions between “fitness professionals” that it is hard to recommend differently. For years now we have been taught that if you lower your weight and increase your repetitions, you will have more muscle definition. It goes hand in hand with the suggestion that the higher the weight and lower the repetitions, the larger the muscle will grow.

For example:

Lower weight with 12-15 repetitions for muscle definition or
Increase the weight and perform 5-10 repetitions for mass.

Well, I beg to differ.

First off, a muscle will only get larger, not more defined. Obviously there are a number of smaller muscles surrounding some of the larger muscles that should be targeted as well, that will take part in the muscle appearing more defined.

But for the sake of keeping things simple and straight to the point, let’s say I have 2 males with the same exact measurements as far as actual muscle. Meaning, underneath all the fats and tissues, both of these men have the same size triceps. One man happens to have 13 percent body fat and the other just 6 percent. Is it safe to say that the male with less body fat looks a lot more defined although they have the same measurements as far as muscle?

My point is

Your muscles will only grow; they can not put more definition into a specific muscle by lowering the weight and performing exercises with more repetitions. The goal to being more defined is to increase muscle size and decrease body fat.

Think of the rest of your body as you do your abs. You can increase the muscle size by doing crunches but they will not be visible until you decrease the amount of fat covering your six pack.

My suggestions

Stick to regular repetitions of 8-10 and increase your weight regularly to maximize muscle growth. Focus on fat burning cardio like power walking and body weight cardio to decrease your body fat. It really is that simple people.

Circuit training routines for maximum fat loss:

Boxing routine

Foods That Help Repair Muscle

There is more behind eating than just the appealing taste of food. The foods that we eat play a variety of roles in our body. A healthy diet, comprising of all the major nutrients, is vital to the smooth growth and functioning of our various body organs. Different nutrients contribute to the health of the body in a number of ways.

For example, carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body. These complex sugars are more easily broken down than other groups and provide a richer source of calories which the body requires to function. However, although carbs are an important part of our daily diet, they do not provide all that the body needs. They are for instance not used in the repair of muscles. This function is instead the responsibility of proteins.

If carbohydrates are the energy source of the body, then protein are the building blocks which it uses. Most of the muscles and organs in the body are largely made up of protein. In order to repair damage muscles, our body makes similarly makes use of protein towards achieving this end. Protein is required for the formation and repair of new body cells. It is also required for the creation and production of the many hormones and enzymes which our body systems rely on. The following are some important tips about using protein.

If you plan on building muscles, you will need to ensure that your diet contains a rich supply of protein. This is particularly important because during workout sessions you actually break down instead of building up your muscles. It is only after you have completed your workout routine that your body then repairs and rebuilds the affected muscle group. It is because of this that people are always encouraged not to exercise every day. This gives the body a chance to work on repairs.

Without protein in your diet however, none of this will be possible.

Unlike the calories found in carbohydrates which can be stored in your body, the human body does not retain protein deposits. If you therefore fail to include a regular source of protein in your diet your body will find it difficult to repair your damaged muscles when it needs to.

There are two major sources of protein: animals and plants. Good animal sources of protein include eggs, fish, and lean cuts of meat. Healthy plant sources include most legumes and some nuts. Dairy products can also be included as well. It is recommended that you eat a protein rich diet after a weight/resistance training session. This will ensure that your body has enough to attend to the tissue rebuilding that will need to be done. However, if you already maintain a healthy diet (one which is rich in protein) this will hardly be necessary.

Many people wrongly assume that the amount of muscle which you gain is related to the volume of protein in your diet. People thus completely ignore carbs and rely solely on proteins as their main energy source. This is risky because the amount of calories provided by proteins is hardly sufficient. Also, the body takes a much longer time to digest protein than it does carbohydrates. A diet based on this is not only ineffective but also unhealthy. Doing this can be result in many dangerous results one of which is ketosis a situation where you lose muscle amongst other symptoms.

It is recommended that people consume at least 0.36 grams of protein for every pound that they carry in body weight. You will therefore need to take about 55grams of protein daily if you weighed 150 pounds. Put in a simpler light, a healthy diet is one which accounts for 15% protein in the total daily calorie intake. In most cases this value is normally found to be between 60grams to 90 grams depending on the individual.

For people who wish to exercise regularly during the week however, they will be required to eat a lot more protein than an average person. As earlier stated, exercise routines require a much higher concentration of protein in a person's diet. Instead of 0.36 grams per pound, you should therefore aim at eating at least.55grams for each pound of your body weight. Doing this will ensure that your body has enough protein for its regular daily needs as well as the extra that will be required to build up and repair the damaged muscle.
