Jack3d Micro review

And here it is, finally my review of Jack3d micro, or what some people call jacked micro.
This is a pretty new product, and not many people have tried it yet considering the old version is still available.

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!

This product has about the average amount of caffeine, but the pump from it was amazing.  The new stimulant they are using are the Norcoline, and the 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid.  I have tried the Norcoline, although the ingredient was called Higenamine then, in the Alpha T-2 fat burner.  Basically the Norcoline is a really good fat burner and targets certain receptors for fat loss different than caffeine does.

Caffeine is also vasoconstrictor, but with the added Norcoline which acts as a vasodilator, meaning that it makes your veins BIGGER, you can pump more blood. 

 This has actually been one of my favorite products for both producing a pump and also for energy.  No jitters, and the best results I have seen are when I have taken 3 scoops, and still no jitters or anxiety from that much caffeine in this product.  

TASTE: wonderful taste, and mixes perfectly. I wish they could make it without Sucralose, but nobody really has done that yet. 

Obviously the bottle specifically says to never take more than 2 scoops, but what the heck, I tried 2 scoops/workout for a week, so I figured I would up the dose a bit. 

VERDICT:  In my opinion I love that you don't get the beta-alanine skin tingles compared to the original Jack3d, but for an effective dose, I have to take 3 scoops which over time would be expensive. Especially since the Micro version although smaller, costs more. 


***I WILL BE BUYING THIS AGAIN, just wish that it was cheaper, although it is getting cheaper everyday on Amazon ***

My New Car (cause my wife didn't want to drive it)

Well, 45 MPG is actually the same gas mileage I am getting on my motorcycle.  So this is kind of a no-brainer for winter, especially since I will need something.  But of course there are plenty of problems to work through with this. 

Sure the fenders are falling off, and it has a camo racing stripe, no stereo, and has to have the battery disconnected each time I stop driving it, but its now mine and I like it.

Broken light that I had to fix

And this is how the battery looked. If you have ever had a Honda Civic, you know that the normal battery is about half of this size. This is a truck battery, and does not fit, and it is not strapped down, which I also had to fix.

New side marker lights were only a few dollars on Ebay.

When I was taking it apart I found out it looked like the whole front end where that light had been broken was dipped in mud. and there was dirt everywhere inside the socket and the wiring, and was causing a bad connection.

New light installed, and I also installed the same one on the drivers side also, so that they would match.

You can't really tell but I am lifting the battery by about 2 inches.

So here are the new supplies to mount the battery to the car,  a new battery tray, and the tie down to hold the battery to the tray.

And.... the new battery tray isn't even close to fitting.  Mind you, the car was made for a battery half this size.

So I decided to make the tray smaller.

Had to cut the battery tray a little bit to get it to fit.

And success.  But now the hood doesn't shut.

Crap.  So i found a neighbor who had a Saws-all, and we fixed that in a jiffy.

AND......I have had this phone for over almost a year now.  Just saying.  Maybe Apple should have come up with something new.
As you can see the new IPhone 5 has one thing better than mine, but if you look at the upgrade to my phone, The Atrix HD, it has a 4.5" inch screen with a 720 x 1280 pixel screen resolution. which blows away the New Apple. 
So Basically .... I Win.  

Well Let me know your thoughts if any of you get one bad apples,

AST DGC Review

DGC, AST DGC, dextrose, fructose, sucrose, post-workout, intra workout, fuelThis is my review for AST DGC.   DGC stands for Dextroratory Glucose Crystals....  But first off, lets simplify that down a little bit, cause its not as complicated as it sounds.
Dextroratory- meaning clockwise, or the light will spin off of the molecule sideways.
Glucose- Dextrose
Crystals- crystal bits like salt or sugar.

AST DGC supplement Facts, dgc,

AST DGC ingredients, Dextrose, dextroratory glucose crystals, sugar, fructose, sucrose

 This is what it looks like mixed in just plain water.
dgc, dgc mixed in water, DGC taste,  ast dgc
 I tasted it, but then of course added some "goodness" to it, and added a creatine sample(BPI's Build-HD) that I had. TASTE IS EXCELLENT!!!
dgc with creatine, dgc postworkout, dgc intraworkout, ast dgc pwo, BPI Build-HD


Turns out that all Glucose in Nature is the "d-isomer" or Dextroratory, Meaning that all Dextrose is D-Glucose.

So basically it means Dextrose Crystals, aka, Dextrose.

AST DGC does happen to have a few other ingredients, such as Fructose, and Sucrose. (which Technically Table table is just a mix of Fructose and Sucrose) and also a small amount of minerals, and some B-vitamins.


I am loving the results I am getting with this, and it would be great for both Men and Women. Basically it is the best, fastest FUEL for your muscles that you can get.

I add this to my Intra-workout shake, and also to my post-workout Protein Shake.  Amazing pump during workouts, and also great recovery.
Another great site I just found. http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/magazine03/dextrose.htm
