jack3d website said:A Final Word on Cycling – Do I Need to Cycle Jack3d?
Yes, you should cycle off of Jack3d.
Go for 8 weeks on, 3-4 weeks off. If you’re doing the Asteroid Stack, consider staying the entire 12 weeks on Jack3d, but then get off for 4 weeks.
Your body needs to get off of the stimulants so that they have the proper effect on you. You should not replace Jack3d with some other pre-workout drink unless it is stimulant-free.
I have a protein shake about 90 minutes before I go to the gym, probably 40-50g of protein. 30 minutes before workout, I take 2.0 to 2.5 scoops of jack3d while I stretch. After stretching, I feel good enough to do two 45 minute sessions of TKD back-to-back. I go home and in about 30 minutes have another 40-50g of protein, stretch, then do drills. I then eat a 'normal meal' ie: healthy food, high in carbs and natural fats.
Good info in here. Ill be needing it soon.
One question. Why soo much protein in one serving?
I was told your body can only use about 20-30g in a serving.
I think the word cycling is waaaaaaaaaaaaay over used when it comes to supplementation. Like, I think it makes people feel cooler about the off-the-shelf supplements they try.
"Ya bro I cycle creatine crazy on offs yo"
A cycle traditionally refers to a series of steroidal supplements used in conjunction with one another, often with rest periods in between to allow your HPTA to start working on it's own or to give your renal system a break.
Do you cycle coffee, , RockStar, eggs, steak, brown rice?
These things contain many of the vitamins, proteins, amino acids, and carbs that all those supps. do. Red meat is a great source of creatine and tons of other aminos.
Stop saying you are cycling nitric products and aminos. Either do REAL supps or STFU.

The world health organization established a daily protein requirement less than the UK Department of Health and Social Security and US RDA. Using the high and low recommendations together provides an acceptable range for daily protein requirement.
Men and women protein intake range based on ideal body weight:
Minimum Daily Protein Requirement: W.H.O. recommends 0.45 grams of nprotein per kilogram of ideal body weight per day.
Maximum Daily Protein Requirement: US RDA recommends 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight per day. The UK Department of Health and Social Security is approximately the same.
If you are currently doing endurance training your daily protein requirement increases by 1 to 1.2 grams per kilogram of ideal body weight per day. However, there is no recommended daily protein requirement for weight or strength training. Additionally, the daily requirements do not increase for people over their ideal body weight. This is because amino acids are not needed to support fat cells.
Example: 154 lb male who is a regular exerciser and lifts weights
154 lbs/2.2 = 70kg
70kg x 1.5 = 105 gm protein/day
I understand your logic. I can't throw down for d'bol and the like and I'm not a huge fan of the idea of using gear so I haven't gone down that road yet.
At that, when I reference cycling I mean 8-10 weeks of training cycles. That's an entire lifting program though. 8-10 weeks of a certain style/type of lifting with a certain stack to supplement that type of workout. Only reason I use the term cycle.
Right now I'm just starting a *cut*cycle. As it literally refers to me cutting out carbohydrating, increasing reptitions of workouts and cardio in my workout. Not too much cardio but workout design.
At that, creatine should be used always pretty much on lifting days, not days off. Loading can be a gimic, but some recommend it. In conjunction with beta-alanine it is very helpful and should be a basis for all working out. Like you said. Brown rice, rockstars. Should be apart of your diet with a multi-vitamin, and fishoil, etc.
A quick blog on the combination if you will
I'm going to do some research and see if maybe I shouldn't be using so much protein. I remember reading somewhere that you should take 1g of protein for every pound of body mass. Maybe I misinterpreted it.
