I've been hearing good things about Jack3d, a pre-workout powder, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I popped in to a GNC to see if they carried the stuff and lo and behold....and I actually made it in on Gold Card week!
Apparently this stuff is one of their best sellers so it's kept under lock-and-key with only one of each flavor on display and the rest hidden behind the counter. Interesting. Anyway, while there I decided to pick up some more protein powder since I threw away a bunch of out-of-date stuff.
I'm going with a new brand of protein powder, AP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. I was talked into this one because I was looking for a BCAA supplement and all that was offered came in powder form. Since there's only so many shakes I can mentally handle in one day, I decided to pick up a protein powder containing a full spectrum BCAA formulation. The second reason I chose this particular powder was because they didn't carry the brand I was previously using, SEI MAX Protein, which I believe also touted a generous BCAA profile. And thirdly, another "old" powder that I was using, Syntha-6, also contained BCAAs but in unknown quantities. Another benefit of the AMP product being touted is the lack of fillers and unnecessary additives that are found in some of the other products.
I'm certain I won't be able to tell a difference between any of these three different protein powders since it's been over 4 years since I've been serious about working out. Most of my gains, or in this case losses, will be contributed primarily to the fact that I'm going to be consistent in hitting the weights.
Now, all I need to do is execute my plan of going to the gym regularly and not missing a workout, which will only be two a week since I cannot workout legs until the foreseeable future......and I must avoid the calling of the pool on a weight day.
