    I bought it specifically because it doesn't have creatine. Still like it. Wife has her own & i've got mine. GNC i go to gives me 30% off so it makes it reasonable per serving.

    Im currently on the second month of the Insanity workout. I Highly recommend it to anyone that is trying to lose weight. It does require a good diet to supplement the workout but i promise you will get good results. Ive lost ten pounds in the last month.

    Are the green tea pills yall take for energy or just weight loss? Been wanting to take something to give me more energy b4 workouts but dont wanna take anything with creatine....

    Also is eating numerous small meals imperative to getting in better shape(been doing the beginner transforation workout on bodybuilding.com btw if anyone has advise on that as well) because right now I usually have a protein shake for bfast, heavy lunch, fruits/snack/light meal after work, then protein shake after dinner...thanks for the advise

    Eating healthy will give you tons of energy. White rice, baked fish and chicken with some fruits add some veggies. I was lacking tons of energy because i was "dirty bulking".

    The pills i mentioned are just green tea with a couple fruit extracts and ginseng, IIRC....nothing in there is meant to be a supplement to build muscle. The bottle is advertised as a fat burner, but that's just because green tea has been linked to more fat burning, but those findings are questionable. I just take it for an energy boost, that mostly comes from the caffeine in it.

    After skipping leg days for a few weeks, back at it.

    I just took my favorite gym drink, beast creatine. That things makes you get in the zone and gives you at least two more sets.

    Pull ups 10 sets for 4 reps. Then killed abs on the carpet.

    Accidentally pressed submit. Let's try this again lol.

    Last week, I tried a pre workout for the first time. I heard so many good things about jacked 3d so I got that one.

    I was really looking forward to using it cause my workouts were suffering due to lack of energy lately.

    I didn't really feel any difference. No huge pumps or intense focus.

    I heard the original jack3d was the best, unfortunately, it was discontinued cause some idiots died from over doing it lol.

    Anybody recommend something else? I want a bigger pump at the gym.

    Take this thirty minutes before your workout. Probably helps me 20% or so in any workout, quite noticeable for me.

    I don't think it matters, I haven't seen a difference, but I usually have a protein bar before I work out. It's the only type of supplement I've taken besides creatine that really helped me.
