Appreciate it man. I just did, and man is that a good feeling seeing the change from 3-4 months ago! Gives me all that more drive!

Thanks again to everyone for the continued support!

Also, probably could find a better thread but hopefully this gets enough views.
When i take jack3d after about 25 minutes i get this itch all over, and it stops as soon as i start lifting but i was wondering if anyone else has experienced that?

**HawaiianPride.** · 07-29-2009, 01:05 AM

Is your dose really high? Always start at the minimum required dose for N.O. products. You never know how your body will react to it.

rjohnson5481 · 07-29-2009, 01:09 AM

Nah.
I've never gone over one scoop of anything but jack3d.
and i started with half a scoop, just like Black Powder and Nano Vapor.

The pump is the best yet, but i'm also taking 2 scoops. i don't think i'll ever go over 2, but i said the same about staying at 1. Eventually i'll get off of everything for a month and i'll be good to go with a lower dose.

**HawaiianPride.** · 07-29-2009, 01:14 AM

Well something in your body is reacting to the stuff. Did you have itchyness with any other N.O.? If it continues I'd recommend something else, maybe Bsn's N.o. if you haven't already tried it.

Nope, but i still have some Black Powder left, i wonder if i should up the dosage to two scoops, and see if it's the upped dosage?

Thank god for GNC's return policy.

**HawaiianPride.** · 07-29-2009, 01:22 AM

You can try that, or use the rest of the Black Powder for the meantime. If not, return that junk, get your dough back. And PLEASE, do not ever buy from GNC ever again. Your just burning money brotha. Check out orbitnutrtion, or any online supplement store. You can find products on here for half price, it's a life saver.

I'm going to try that tomorrow, i think i have just a few scoops left.
The ONLY reason i buy from GNC is the return policy, making 600 a month i need all my money. lol
I buy my protein and **** from Max Muscle.

**mperk** · 07-29-2009, 02:55 AM

Hey bud - I get a similar reaction from jacked - sort of "tinglie" but when I start the workout it goes away fast. I mix mine in a water bottle, drink 1/2 30 mins before I start lifting and then chug the rest inthe first 5 mins. seems to work well that way. BTW - Nice new avi!

Yep, exactly.
That makes me feel a little better knowing i'm not the only one.
and i'm going to try what you said bc i love my jack3d. haha

Thanks.

rjohnson5481 · 07-29-2009, 11:14 PM

Had another great workout today, jack3d still giving me some trouble.

Will give the full scoop later tonight.

rjohnson5481 · 07-30-2009, 03:28 AM

alright today went well, another hodgepodge of everything need to kill myself for the week off.
Started with bent over rows made it to 105.
Did lat pull downs made it to 165
Did stairs with DB&Plates it went 70-80-100
wasn't getting enough from the stairs it was too easy.
Played a game of racket ball in between stairs and leg press.
Went to leg press did 355 with ease. New Max.
after leg press was Standing curls. new max of 100
Moved to Hack Squats for hams and man did i feel it at 155.
Lastly was Core and that was it.

All in all today was great, my strength is out of this world and give that to Jack3d, but the itching/tingling was back again after trying half of it 30 min before and then the other half when we started. So i'm going to cut my dosage in half back to one scoop tomorrow, then it'll be a week off so i should be able to resolve anything when i get back by starting small. If nothing else it's good bye to the amazing jack3d. lol

Tomorrow will be chest and core. Nothing else going to murder bench!

**HawaiianPride.** · 07-30-2009, 03:29 AM

That's what I like to hear.

rjohnson5481 · 07-30-2009, 01:17 PM

Taking today off, i've got DOMS like a mutha ****a.
I woke up and as soon as i went to sit up i could feel it in my back.
I'm going to pack on the protein today, in hopes of being able to hit chest/tri tomorrow before i leave town.

**HawaiianPride.** · 07-30-2009, 01:35 PM

Thats a great feeling bro. You started this just because you wanted to look and feel better, you keep going at this rate and you might end up competing someday. Think about it bro, its not unrealistic with your determination. Your doing great

You're exactly right, and thanks bro.
You're one good motivator, you should be the guy being paid 6 figures to give motivation speeches to people like bill gates, bc their life sucks so bad.

**HawaiianPride.** · 07-31-2009, 01:28 PM

Thanks man, the straps broke when I was on 315 lol! So I had to rep out 405 strapless. Should be getting some more photos on back and chest day soon.

rjohnson5481 · 07-31-2009, 01:29 PM

Today was great!
Got up after not enough sleep with packing and getting ready to leave town for a week. But decided to hit the gym anyways.
Took one scoop of Jack3d, no tingle but not as much pump, i'm hoping the week off will help that.
Started with DB bench Made it to 70's new max
Moved to the chest fly machine and got up to 130
Moved to tri's did close grip bench one set 95lb, 25 reps, no rest. That hurt.
did over head tri curls made it to 75, new max
after that was 2 sets of negative push ups.

and that was that. I'm feeling pretty good. Tweaked my shoulder again a little bit, but it's just a little irritated it's normally back to normal within the hour.

Other than that this might be my last post for the week because i'm going out of town. If you don't hear from me for the week, all of you have a great week and keeping doing it big!
