Ngl, exactly how I felt the first and last time I took pre workout. I prefer to rawdog the gym. Sometimes if I really need extra energy ill have a cookie for some quick carbs.
The original jack3d was the reason I stopped taking preworkouts, that shit was so insane lol - the workouts were great but god it would last the rest of the night and I could never sleep, good times lmao
Bro, I worked at GNC back around 2010... it's unreal what's allowed, or what was at least when I was engulfed in that worle. It's so crazy to me that they can make something new, have zero data on how it affects people and then only remove it from the shelves AFTER people get hurt or die. I can't tell you how many times a product would come out, people absolutely love it... then a year later it's removed because it caused internal bleeding and crap. To anyone reading, never assume something is safe just because it's on the shelf. AND just because something works, sometimes really well... doesn't mean it's worth it. Know what's in the things you consume. Take ownership of it.
That’s crazy I remember my friends taking 10 pills before a workout and I only tried it once after that I wanted just creatine cause it was the only thing I could trust.
Your message at the end, does a lot of sense and is a call of awareness for everyone who goes to the gym for health but yet they are not doing anything about their sleep pattern and mental health that you need an extra substance to help you achieve what you can naturally do.
Most people that you find strength training aren't there for health, but to look better. If your muscles wouldn't grow and you would look exactly the same with or without strength training, 95% of people would not bother showing up.
I think the reason most people (including me) take pre before they train is not necessarily due to a lack of sleep, but more so due to the fatigue that's built up throughout a working day. My shifts are 12 hours long behind a desk (not 5 days a week but a more unique shift pattern) and I feel exhausted when I get home, but I enjoy lifitng so in order to actually get through 45 minutes of training I need a boost.
As someone watching this way to late at night and with mental illnesses I need but don’t have medication for I feel attacked. I’m a tri-athlete to so caffeine is a necessity and I drink WAY to much. Like 600-800mg a day and recommend dose is 400 😂 in seriousness I am getting help and medication for my problems soon so hopefully that helps
“For now, I’m just gonna stick to my coffee.” Powerful statement from a gym influencer/fitness vlogger with sponsorship deals and such. Promoting health first and foremost ❤
yes, but the amount in multivitamins is tiny compared to niacin baased pre-workouts, and usually in multivitamins it's in the form of niacinamide, not regular niacin.
This was absolutely hilarious and well done. I'm 38 now, but I very clearly remember the days of the NO-Xplode and Jack3d OG formulas. There was nothing like having zero motivation to train after a long day of college classes or work and throwing a couple scoops of that stuff in a shaker and sipping on it for the 15-20m drive to the gym. When you left your house you were dragging yourself into the gym through pure will power and by the time you got there and the pre-workout was in your system, the motivation was through the roof and training was no longer a chore, it was a necessary inevitability lol. It completely changed your frame of mind. Eventually though, I got sick of the intra-workout anxiety, dry mouth, racing heart, and Xplodes in the gym bathroom... This was before fitness trackers/watches, but I can't imagine where my heart rate was. These days it's just a small coffee/caffeine pill + a few caps of a basic L-Arginine/L-Citrulline combo. It's simple, quick, cheap, and effective. It gets the job done, but it's definitely not like the prior days of 2 scoops of OG NO-Xplode/Jack3d and having the feeling of wanting to run through a brick wall.
Ha were the same age, its no wonder both those pre works outs were so popular. I can't believe I accidentally did methamphetamine on a regular basis for like two years but hey the energy was fuckin no joke .... And I wouldn't be mad about finding a tub of either somewhere in my parents house
NO-Xplode was my first pre-workout and Jack3d OG was the second. Though, I got many early PRs with NOX, Jack was a different beast. I didn't do any research on the ingredients back then, but I never felt any out of the proportion symptoms with heart pump, shortness of breath, etc. I continued to take Jack until one time I couldn't get a hold of it anywhere i.e. the ban time. USP labs had a fat burner, OxyelitePro, and I know all now will say that fat burners are scam, but I got good results with it. I do not use any branded pre-workout now. I get raw materials from Bulksupps, etc. and adjust doses based on goal for a specific session.
the original formula of NO-Xplode, in the early 2000s, it was something sent from the gods. I remember being 20, in 2005 and being cracked out of my mind in the gym. My body was the same color as the PWO container and I was doing cartwheels between sets. I miss that feeling!
Original NO Xplode and Super Pump 250 were wild. Make you want to rip your car apart on the way to the gym. You can't get those ingredients in the main stream pre's anymore.
@@BenHall289 Its not really about a need most people would just rather have a boost. For me caffeine doesn't effect me in the first place so I just drink energy drinks for taste and usually after a work out not before.

I used to take original DMAA jack3d, then run the 400m and 100m at high school track meets. Some people died taking it before running, but I guess I was just too anabolic for it to get me.

Ive started working out lately. I was tired of looking in the mirror hating how i looked and then immediately going back to being lazy and eating junk. Will has motivated me and helped me figure out whats healthy and not healthy. I watch him everyday and seeing him have these cheat days and still being fit has woken me up to realize i dont have to starve myself and work out 8 hours a day to keep fit. Its about choosing smart and watching portions while staying active
My husband and I watch your videos religiously. I love the recipes I've seen you make. I've said a few times that one day I want your recipe book. My husband surprised me with an early birthday gift with your book. I squealed with excitement! I can't wait to try them all. My husband has struggled with gaining weight and muscle but with your help has been achieving those goals. I have always struggled with my weight. You have inspired me with healthy recipes and and to begin weightlifting for the first time in my life. You are incredibly funny and an inspiration to both of us. 😊
“Coffee and cocaine, which I think is underapprecia- whatever…”😂😂😂. Will’s little slips and edits are the greatest there are on TH-cam. Also, can you do a video trying to do a day as a kosher keeping person? If you need details on how to do that, just reply to this.
Hell yeah! I was still in high school still weighing 125-130lbs. End of the year I was around 165-170! I only took the original Jack3d around Twice a week whenever I felt too lazy to work out, it put my ass right back in gear.
I'm now subscribing....I'm a trainer myself and usually most online guys don't try/test/talk about and review what we use, what's being done and how it affects us. this was a good vid. (sidenote OG jack3d....was GOLD!!!!)
The way you explained jack at the end sounds a lot like how adderall makes me feel. Its not like caffeine which feels like spike spike spike. Its a first spike. Then a very consistent stable flow of energy. I take breaks from adderall. So i dont need to go up in dosage.
Stopping on rep 13?! Will … nooooo! Why not just walk under a ladder or walk through the woods of Transylvania on a moonlit night? Gave me more jitters than beta alanine
Ephedrine was legal until around 2005. My university sold pure Ephedrine at its' health center, 100 tabs for $5. I went to the University of Wisconsin, the third largest college in the country with 50,000+ students. Every guy I know was taking it. We took it to stay up to study and also to combat the effects of alcohol...you could drink a ton and not get tired. Women at my school took it to lose weight. The pure ephedrine melted weight and fat off of you. I knew girls in my dorm that lost 10-15 lbs. without working out. The stuff was amazing.
In The UK you can still get Pseudoephedrine from cold sinus tablets. A similar thing but I I'm not sure if you can get that in the US because people would make crystal meth from it
Great video! I have always wondered, I have a blue collar physical job but I still try to go to the gym 5x a week. How could I rely less on preworkout if I come home exhausted every day from 8-10 hours of labor?
If you prioritize your training, I would recommend doing everything you can to lift before work, even if it means switching gyms. This will allow you to put everything into your lifts. You will still make it through the work day, but you will guarantee a predictable gym performance. It may also get you going for your day. If that is not an option for you and you MUST work out afterwards, you could try cold shower for five to ten minutes on the coldest setting before the evening workout. This will alleviate the soreness of the workday, cause your body to quickly warm up and be ready to lift, and will give you a boost of dopamine and adrenaline without a chemical stimulant that will stay in the system and interfere with your sleep cycle. Best of luck!
Huge pop when I seen the Jack 3D. Pre workout is a holy ritual in this house. 3 huskies and a toddler and shiftwork. We love trying different pre workouts, and the gods used to give us the OG Jack 3D. Enjoyable video Will. Keep it up.
Some of the Pre-workouts you mentioned I've tried and they are way too strong for me!! And when I think about the cost, regular coffee is still the best ! On a heavy cardio day I may try beetroot with some beta alanine! Excellent video! Thanks
I remember Ultimate Orange fondly. It was concocted by the famous Dan Duchaine and it is better than anything on the market today. The ephedra kick is what really made it work. The vast majority of people using Ultimate Orange had no problems with it. Duchaine also created the ECA stack of ephedra, caffiene, and aspirin which shed pounds as well as phen-phen. Too bad that meth heads got ephedra banned.
Will the Jack3d preworkout is how i feel everytime using moms food a good spirit and no pre. Also the heart rate and the bouncing my leg thing cus i have ADHD lol its built in pre
Amazing video mate, cheers. I'm on my 3rd year lifting some weights and never tried pre workout. I was having only coffee. In the last year I gave up coffee because I couldn't feel it anymore and now im going to the gym 5am after 8h of sleep and I feel amazing.
Niacin flush is a real thing. Its actually quite good at lowering cholesterol in some people supposedly. Id like to see you do a video on your blood results. LDL, HDL, lpa, apob. I recently had slightly high ldl, and lpa (genetic) so my diet is changing. Might even go on a statin.
The best supplement before a gym workout: 1 shot of ginger juice 1 shot of pineapple juice 1 teaspoon of saffron 1 teaspoon of ginseng powder 1 teaspoon of turmeric and a pinch of pink salt and some black pepper. Mix everything in a blender and drink immediately. LOVE FROM ISRAEL
Love your videos bro, you are definitely my fav fitness TH-camr. i use to drink pre workout but i rarely take it anymore as it makes me itchy and doesnt let me sleep. coffee throughout the day seems to work fine for now with creatine and vitamin tablets.
That ultimate orange cannot be the same as in the 80's as i used it in 1992 and it was amazing. Also no explode was a megga pump when it first came out but now its junk. Best thing you can do is make your own and buy all the ingredients from Bulk Powders ❤
My favorite original recipe was SuperPump 250 (Gaspari). I’d take it at my desk, start flushing and I then my arms would swell like I just released a bunch of insulin. I had swollen veins and hadn’t even picked up a weight yet :). It was great. Then they changed it. Original BSN NOXplode was decent for me. Jack3D (again, original) was the only pre workout I ever threw away after the first try. Took at at the gym, worked out and left it at the gym. It turned my head into soup. Today’s market is not so fun, but there are a few good ones: Total War, Nitraflex, BuckedUp.
When i was in my teens my dad had the original Jack3d and i took it before the gym, my eyes sunk into my head and i could hear and see everything. Energy was unstoppable. I will never forget that. Never took it again. Although i wish i had it now. Hahaha
I personally think that pre is just dumb but I drink that stuff alot just for the grosses pumps amd the mind set that makes me feel primal but I only use pre MAYBE ones a week but I wonder if stim free is better

Probably spelling it wrong, but that was the culprit of a cracked out feeling.

7:30 literary light feather kick.. UP.. and you hhave literary burnout.. bro.. dont ever touch that stuff.. is basicly... a perevitin..
The original Jack3D was insane
There is better on the market if you know where to look (:
@@Tailioniswhere!? Please share lol. I can order anabolics but not preworkout!
Shit had meth in it lmao
@@sheend
Gorilla mind has a good pwo.
But PEDs are obviously better.
@sheend I'm getting shadow banned mentioning it. Fitness deal news...dsslsdds yt ddddddd
“Coffee and cocaine, which I think is underapprecia- whatever…”😂😂😂. Will’s little slips and edits are the greatest there are on TH-cam. Also, can you do a video trying to do a day as a kosher keeping person? If you need details on how to do that, just reply to this.
the best pumps of my life on the original jack3d.
Hell yeah! I was still in high school still weighing 125-130lbs. End of the year I was around 165-170! I only took the original Jack3d around Twice a week whenever I felt too lazy to work out, it put my ass right back in gear.
I'm now subscribing....I'm a trainer myself and usually most online guys don't try/test/talk about and review what we use, what's being done and how it affects us. this was a good vid. (sidenote OG jack3d....was GOLD!!!!)
Babe wake up, Will Tennyson dropped a video!
I love the Swedish one called "Fucked up" with a horror movie clown on it only pre workout that makes me feel anything..
The way you explained jack at the end sounds a lot like how adderall makes me feel. Its not like caffeine which feels like spike spike spike. Its a first spike. Then a very consistent stable flow of energy. I take breaks from adderall. So i dont need to go up in dosage.
Legal meth
@@RareAries323DMHA is more like legal Adderall. Not as good as DMAA but it you are new, you gonna like it
love how creative Will’s video ideas always are!!!
I agree there’s no like format or style it’s literally all over the place but it keeps you interested. He rarely repeats the same content .
Stopping on rep 13?! Will … nooooo! Why not just walk under a ladder or walk through the woods of Transylvania on a moonlit night? Gave me more jitters than beta alanine
I take pre-work because I have to lift in the morning before work. It's very hard to have good energy that early in the morning without it
That's my reasoning/excuse too!
Same!
Probably means you have bad quality sleep and/or alot of stress.
😂 I don’t drink coffee or take pre workout, I just go training because I like it
Ya same plus im just lazy to make it
Good for you. But that won't always be the case.
same
how many gym membership do you have? youre in a new gym in every video
Ephedrine was legal until around 2005. My university sold pure Ephedrine at its' health center, 100 tabs for $5. I went to the University of Wisconsin, the third largest college in the country with 50,000+ students. Every guy I know was taking it. We took it to stay up to study and also to combat the effects of alcohol...you could drink a ton and not get tired. Women at my school took it to lose weight. The pure ephedrine melted weight and fat off of you. I knew girls in my dorm that lost 10-15 lbs. without working out. The stuff was amazing.
In The UK you can still get Pseudoephedrine from cold sinus tablets. A similar thing but I I'm not sure if you can get that in the US because people would make crystal meth from it
@@172louisyou can still get it in the US, it’s just kept behind the counter at pharmacies. They check your ID before you buy it.
@@172louiswe can, it’s just behind the pharmacy counter and they ID you for it. But no RX required.
@@172louis you can still get pseudoephedrine in the US. I've never had a stimulant effect from it. Yet again I've never taken it when I wasn't sick.
You can still get straight ephedrine , just go grab some bronkaid or primatene tablets
Thanks for the everlasting advice Will, you've helped a lot in my fitness journey.
Great video! I have always wondered, I have a blue collar physical job but I still try to go to the gym 5x a week. How could I rely less on preworkout if I come home exhausted every day from 8-10 hours of labor?
If you prioritize your training, I would recommend doing everything you can to lift before work, even if it means switching gyms. This will allow you to put everything into your lifts. You will still make it through the work day, but you will guarantee a predictable gym performance. It may also get you going for your day. If that is not an option for you and you MUST work out afterwards, you could try cold shower for five to ten minutes on the coldest setting before the evening workout. This will alleviate the soreness of the workday, cause your body to quickly warm up and be ready to lift, and will give you a boost of dopamine and adrenaline without a chemical stimulant that will stay in the system and interfere with your sleep cycle. Best of luck!
Huge pop when I seen the Jack 3D. Pre workout is a holy ritual in this house. 3 huskies and a toddler and shiftwork. We love trying different pre workouts, and the gods used to give us the OG Jack 3D. Enjoyable video Will. Keep it up.
Some of the Pre-workouts you mentioned I've tried and they are way too strong for me!! And when I think about the cost, regular coffee is still the best ! On a heavy cardio day I may try beetroot with some beta alanine! Excellent video! Thanks
Jack 3D and Black Powder back in 2008/2010
My pre workout is thoughts and prayers…
6:15 lmaooo that was a great edit
Lack of caffeine. Those old heads had cocaine
Will…. that Johnny Sins reference had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s my cheat day today and I love watching videos whilst eating. PERFECT TIMING 🍩🔥
I remember Ultimate Orange fondly. It was concocted by the famous Dan Duchaine and it is better than anything on the market today. The ephedra kick is what really made it work. The vast majority of people using Ultimate Orange had no problems with it. Duchaine also created the ECA stack of ephedra, caffiene, and aspirin which shed pounds as well as phen-phen. Too bad that meth heads got ephedra banned.
That ending chat he put at the end of the video was the icing on the cake for me. I agree with what he said completely 💯
8:20 gas🤣🤣
10:25 damn who's that fine lady in the back tho?

Best preworkout is a new Will video. About to hit a Push day 💪
Only pre workout a man needs is his mind
Last time I took jack3d was in Afghanistan in 2012, that stuff was insane.
Legal meth 🤣🤣😂😂
Well not anymore
No need to change this thumbnail Will, very capturing.
Will the Jack3d preworkout is how i feel everytime using moms food a good spirit and no pre. Also the heart rate and the bouncing my leg thing cus i have ADHD lol its built in pre
Amazing video mate, cheers. I'm on my 3rd year lifting some weights and never tried pre workout. I was having only coffee. In the last year I gave up coffee because I couldn't feel it anymore and now im going to the gym 5am after 8h of sleep and I feel amazing.
Niacin flush is a real thing. Its actually quite good at lowering cholesterol in some people supposedly.
Id like to see you do a video on your blood results. LDL, HDL, lpa, apob. I recently had slightly high ldl, and lpa (genetic) so my diet is changing. Might even go on a statin.
It also has a positive effect on reducing acne. Permanently in some.
17:43 "why do you need something to help you focus?"
Dude, I literally have ADHD. 🤷♀️
"incognito mode when you live alone" now this hit different
Your Channel is, The best. Keep it up man. I wish I could meet you one day in my life.
The best supplement before a gym workout:
1 shot of ginger juice 1 shot of pineapple juice 1 teaspoon of saffron 1 teaspoon of ginseng powder 1 teaspoon of turmeric and a pinch of pink salt and some black pepper. Mix everything in a blender and drink immediately. LOVE FROM ISRAEL
I agree cocia.. I mean coffee is so UNDERATED
Coffee is the furthest thing from being underrated. Its the second most popular drink in the world.
Love your videos bro, you are definitely my fav fitness TH-camr. i use to drink pre workout but i rarely take it anymore as it makes me itchy and doesnt let me sleep. coffee throughout the day seems to work fine for now with creatine and vitamin tablets.
Your jack3d actually had DMAA in it and DMHA, dmaa is also geranium extract as undercover name DMHA Is the 2-amino
The original formula of NO-Xplode was the game changer for me. I've been chasing that pump ever since
The new is not as effective ? . They get 2 more pre work out ?
That ultimate orange cannot be the same as in the 80's as i used it in 1992 and it was amazing. Also no explode was a megga pump when it first came out but now its junk. Best thing you can do is make your own and buy all the ingredients from Bulk Powders ❤
My favorite original recipe was SuperPump 250 (Gaspari). I’d take it at my desk, start flushing and I then my arms would swell like I just released a bunch of insulin. I had swollen veins and hadn’t even picked up a weight yet :). It was great. Then they changed it. Original BSN NOXplode was decent for me. Jack3D (again, original) was the only pre workout I ever threw away after the first try. Took at at the gym, worked out and left it at the gym. It turned my head into soup. Today’s market is not so fun, but there are a few good ones: Total War, Nitraflex, BuckedUp.
Can’t forget about Ripped Fuel from the late 90’s. That and hydroxycut .
When i was in my teens my dad had the original Jack3d and i took it before the gym, my eyes sunk into my head and i could hear and see everything. Energy was unstoppable. I will never forget that. Never took it again. Although i wish i had it now. Hahaha
will always has such fun video ideas I wish he’d upload even more frequently tbh
When he was doing leg press his speech pace was crazy😂😂
OxyElite, Jack3d, and Mesomorph! So fucking powerful!
7:20 the person in the back on the treadmill is redoing an argument with someone in their head and absolutely killing it, 💯 attitude

Should have tried the Mike Mentzer pre-workout
I personally think that pre is just dumb but I drink that stuff alot just for the grosses pumps amd the mind set that makes me feel primal but I only use pre MAYBE ones a week but I wonder if stim free is better
i have GYAT to see all ur videos will
My pre workout is doing a few sets that gets me going! 💪
Are you redefining reality? That's a warm up, not a preworkout.
