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
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.
And now we have kratom which is honestly way better and cleaner and you don't have to take alot white veins the shoes for bro and yes u can snort kratom it hits way harder but lasts shorter ofc
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.
Walking up 130ft of stairs 3x a day with 45-115lbs of tools and chain falls for 5 days 8 hours a day and going to the gym at 5am before hand... yeah why would we need a boost? Hahaha
I'm a wildfire fighter, we do 16 hour days weeks at a time hiking stupid distances while digging guard and all that, and most of us still find time/energy to go. Not to be holier than thou, I used to frame, it ain't easy, but all that's to say you can always muster the will, you just gotta want it, if you don't thats completely fine but an occupation isn't a valid reason 🤷♂️
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.

Excellent translation of the anxiety in the edit! I could feel it through the camera. 😃 Entertaining, illuminating, and wrapped up with a salubrious conclusion. Thank you for this video!
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!
Ultimate Orange was the BOMB. It actually did alot if good. Nothing wrong with Ephedra or Ephedrine taken in moderation. I was ripped from taking it. Stupid sports figures overdosing to cut weight and dying from too much too soon ruined it for everyone. 5:48
Back in the day I would take stacker and Xenadrine as a fat burner… Because it had ephedra in it. It was amazing! The moment they got rid of it because people took advantage of it… The product went to crap. It’s not even the issue of the ingredient. It’s that idiots ruin it by not following directions. That’s why they have to re-configure certain things like for Four Loko because people are idiots
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. 😊
This is great, I wish you put a snip of the final lecture at the start for those that didn't make it. "If you need pre, what's not right? Get your sleep, hydration and focus in order"
Their faults for not being there at the end man, it's not taking much of anything to get to it, if someone is interested enough he's gonna hear all of it. I'm ADHD so I know the feeling, but not everyone shall change their style of videos for the attention deficients folks, or you end up with content like Mr.Beast, worst stuff ever with effects, zoom etc. Thank's Tiktok and shorts in general for breaking brains! :D
Bro I seriously love the way you ended this video that deals with problems in the sociological meta of today. Cultural problems, etc. are a MASSIVELY thoughtful insight.
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
Great video man. I respect the fact you tried all those psychotic supplements but the message at the end couldn’t be more clear. An extra boost like coffee is needed sometimes but mental clarity and discipline is always key. Thank you.
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!!!!)
@@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.
@@WhatsIQ fair enough I guess I’m old school. I don’t eat or drink ultra processed foods and if I have felt I needed a boost then a banana or two has always done the trick. Footballers (soccer) always used to have half time oranges for second half energy.
@@WhatsIQ Ultra processed foods are any food that have one or more ingredient that you wouldn’t find in a home kitchen. I’ve never seen an energy drink that isn’t ultra processed. Preservatives, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, e numbers etc. I’d recommend a podcast called the Zoe science and nutrition podcast for the latest findings in nutrition, there’s a whole episode on UPF’s
I think it's also important to mention that caffeine is a vasoconstrictor (it also causes you to excrete more electrolytes leading to dehydration). So although it can help increase heart rate, energy and focus, if you are after the best pump it actually works against you. That is why most preworkouts add a vasodialator in order to counteract it. It's basically like any prescription medication, you start having to add things to counteract the side effects of the thing was supposed to fix the original problem. That's why you end up with 100 ingredients. Btw for context, I love (am addicted to) caffeine.
Been gyming for over a decade, I look great compared to similar natties the gym and have never regularly taken pre-workout. It’s absolutely not necessary, the only supplement I think necessary for bodybuilding is obviously proper nutrition, protein through food don’t even need supplements for it.
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.
One of my biggest regrets as a young dude in the gym was about 12 years ago when I used to order pre workouts online (typically NO XPLODE) I would get samples from random companies. The one that fucked me up the most was "Muscletech" branded I'm not even sure it was a full serve, within 20 minutes, I had blood shot eyes, heart palpitations and probably the closest i've ever been to a full blown panick attack. the heart palpitations lasted for 8 hours. Look after yourselves
Oh wow I remember those days lmao all the sample packages that would come in. Just blindly trying each one til you found the one that put you out! Been there lmao
Me too sometimes. Back in the day it didn’t I loved every second of it. Nowadays and when I hit my late 20s it started making me sick. Fucks my stomach up also
Now my pre workout is a strong espresso with quarter cup of milk. Squirt of honey and a tiny sprinkle of pink salt. Does the trick everytime. Sustainable energy. No diahrea and post workout crash.
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.
dark energy with DMAA/DMHA in 2017-18 was insane and the last super stimulant pre workout I took. I've done coke and it was 100x crazier. I remember driving there in my mustang and had trouble driving less than 70-100 😂 tunnel vision the entire workout and was truly an insane experience.
“Coffee and cocaine, which I think is underapprecia- whatever…”😂😂😂. Will’s little slips and edits are the greatest there are on RUclips. 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.
Great video bro... really helpful. I take "edge of insanity" and "Hyde extreme" I remember back in the day taking NO explode and "redline" when the formulas were just off the charts. Imma try jacked. Stay blessed and humble bro. 🤙
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.
"I dont know what a hear attack smells like, but i think this could be it"(proceeds to rub hands intrigued) Calmest response to a possible heart attack ever.
Here in Delhi India during mid 2000s I used Universal Shock Therapy. It was imported & no locally made pre workouts were available. I have sweet memories of workouts with my old gym frisnds with this drink. Im 42 now & still miss it. 20 gram serving it had & insane skin tearing pumps & focus. 💪👍🏽👏🏽💪🏽
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.
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.
Contained N-Alpha-DEPEA , structurally very similar to methamphetamine . Milder effects though . Craze and excelsior are the strongest pre workouts ever , OG jack3d not fare behind
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

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
1-3dymethaline made it inside that pre. Aka crack.
Probably spelling it wrong, but that was the culprit of a cracked out feeling.
Yeah, I remember crashing so hard I had to leave the gym.
its an amphetamine, so yeah... not the best thing longterm😅

For those of you wondering what Niacin is, it's just vitamin B3. If you take a daily multivitamin or eat tons of protein, you've got it.
I just checked my multivitamin and it does contain niacin 😮
I think virtually every one of the vitamins has a long name and often sounds scary.
Yeah a lot of it is slow release now so you dont get the flush or tingles
with niacin you need at least 100 mg to get a flush
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.

I think it's also important to mention that caffeine is a vasoconstrictor (it also causes you to excrete more electrolytes leading to dehydration). So although it can help increase heart rate, energy and focus, if you are after the best pump it actually works against you. That is why most preworkouts add a vasodialator in order to counteract it. It's basically like any prescription medication, you start having to add things to counteract the side effects of the thing was supposed to fix the original problem. That's why you end up with 100 ingredients. Btw for context, I love (am addicted to) caffeine.
Will, you have helped guide me through my fitness journey over the past couple of years. Thank you! Love your videos and cookbook ❤️
He looks like if Mickey Mouse was granted a wish to become human and i can‘t unsee it
Thats hilarious
Loool I seee it 😂
I think he looks like the IT clown without the makeup.
More like Pinocchio before his nose grows
Now thats funny!!!! 😅
Making up your mind to get up and go to the gym is one thing. But experimenting, while at it, man, legendary stuff.
"incognito mode when you live alone" now this hit different
I was in the Navy in the Mid 2000s and Jackd 3d was flowing like water on the Ship it was absolutely insane times
So the goverment change the go pills with jacked? 😂
Bruuuhhh
It was gone by the time I got to my ship. A coke ring got busted up though. Now I get Modafinil free from the VA. Love it.
17:38 depression my guy
Great to see the research in golden era and how it has evolved!
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 💯
8:34 LMAO I definitely dont look like that when I sit on the toilet
Been gyming for over a decade, I look great compared to similar natties the gym and have never regularly taken pre-workout. It’s absolutely not necessary, the only supplement I think necessary for bodybuilding is obviously proper nutrition, protein through food don’t even need supplements for it.
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.
Even in the same video this man is in a billion different gyms
One of my biggest regrets as a young dude in the gym was about 12 years ago when I used to order pre workouts online (typically NO XPLODE) I would get samples from random companies. The one that fucked me up the most was "Muscletech" branded I'm not even sure it was a full serve, within 20 minutes, I had blood shot eyes, heart palpitations and probably the closest i've ever been to a full blown panick attack. the heart palpitations lasted for 8 hours.
Look after yourselves
Oh wow I remember those days lmao all the sample packages that would come in. Just blindly trying each one til you found the one that put you out! Been there lmao
When he was doing leg press his speech pace was crazy😂😂
From 10:47 onward that Red 40 started kicking and let a little bit of that "special" strength out. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the everlasting advice Will, you've helped a lot in my fitness journey.
7:20 the person in the back on the treadmill is redoing an argument with someone in their head and absolutely killing it, 💯 attitude
He or she is back on it at 14:57
@@missylengi notified that too 😭
noticed*
I was in the best shape of my life when Ephedra was out! Where did you get that? I need it!!!😂
Pre workout makes me feel way worse
You just aren't doing the right ones. Try a non stim like gorilla mode nitric
@@bigboicremeOr just don't take any of that toxic shit
@@RafBeanah yes, all those toxic….vitamins
Me too sometimes. Back in the day it didn’t I loved every second of it. Nowadays and when I hit my late 20s it started making me sick. Fucks my stomach up also
Now my pre workout is a strong espresso with quarter cup of milk. Squirt of honey and a tiny sprinkle of pink salt. Does the trick everytime. Sustainable energy. No diahrea and post workout crash.
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 .
dark energy with DMAA/DMHA in 2017-18 was insane and the last super stimulant pre workout I took. I've done coke and it was 100x crazier. I remember driving there in my mustang and had trouble driving less than 70-100 😂 tunnel vision the entire workout and was truly an insane experience.
6:15 lmaooo that was a great edit
My pre workout is sniffing my keys, this isnt about cars
In college I was the same way. Mix the keys with pew pew powder to keep your heart from exploding.
Please share! Lol
This guy looks like all the serial killers in movies
Superpump 250 was gold
Truth
Yes, that was the best!
More like Superdump 250 that stuff was the destroyer of toilets
“Coffee and cocaine, which I think is underapprecia- whatever…”😂😂😂. Will’s little slips and edits are the greatest there are on RUclips. 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.
Great video bro... really helpful. I take "edge of insanity" and "Hyde extreme" I remember back in the day taking NO explode and "redline" when the formulas were just off the charts. Imma try jacked. Stay blessed and humble bro. 🤙
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
Best preworkout is a new Will video. About to hit a Push day 💪
14:40 WHAT🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
The message at the end is actually super important I love it
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.
"I dont know what a hear attack smells like, but i think this could be it"(proceeds to rub hands intrigued)
Calmest response to a possible heart attack ever.
Will…. that Johnny Sins reference had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Babe wake up, Will Tennyson dropped a video!
17:48 I have a autistic 5 year old. We busy out here 😂
will always has such fun video ideas I wish he’d upload even more frequently tbh
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 ?
The Analogies you come out with kill me 😂
Here in Delhi India during mid 2000s I used Universal Shock Therapy. It was imported & no locally made pre workouts were available. I have sweet memories of workouts with my old gym frisnds with this drink. Im 42 now & still miss it. 20 gram serving it had & insane skin tearing pumps & focus. 💪👍🏽👏🏽💪🏽
U r talki g about jacked or no explode ?
I used Shock Therapy for ages (15 years? Maybe more?) and since like 3 months it is not available anymore where I live , I'm furious 😅
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.
Awesome video man! You’re so funny and entertaining! Great vid.
Oh how I remember JACKED3D days and BSN Nos Xplode.
you can still get dmaa preworkout online btw
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.
im there with you man, Old Jack3d was amazing. i didnt even know what DMAA was back then.
@@Natefirethemagnetsthat is actually spot on it was an insane feeling 🤣.
Yeah bro, Sony Xplod speakers were in every WalMart dawg
Love the last message, and the video. New viewer but loving it
No need to change this thumbnail Will, very capturing.
you have such a great personality, cant stop watching your videos! Thank you
Its the hair. Chicks like the hair.
7:56: wtf is the guy on the cables doing?
Cable flies, with extremely limited ROM (no idea why.)
bro him and the battle ropes together in one scene in the background had me dyin 😂
His best
Hadukken
8:20 gas🤣🤣
Anyone remember CRAZE by Driven Sports? That shit was WILD
The best!
Yes dude, craze was absolutely nuts 😂 so sad I probably won't be feeling like this ever again
That was the best ever
it was basically just amphethamine.
Contained N-Alpha-DEPEA , structurally very similar to methamphetamine . Milder effects though . Craze and excelsior are the strongest pre workouts ever , OG jack3d not fare behind
“hopefully they’re not talking about the show i call my own life” 😂😂😂😂😂
The 2 min ted talk at the end was really helpful Thanks...
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
Pre work outs dont even really give me an energy boost
It’s my cheat day today and I love watching videos whilst eating. PERFECT TIMING 🍩🔥
Good journalism Will. Informative and entertaining.
Will, you are getting big, my guy. You have put on a lot of mass in the 2 yrs I have been watching you. Good shit. Love the content.
Will is here to start my day!
Ultimate Orange ! The orginal was crazy! You had such intense focus!
