My two favorite pre-workout drinks are Jacked 3D and NO Explode. Below are the pros and cons based on my own experience with both of these supplements. When I run out of Jacked 3D I will alternate and use NO Explode the next time I buy a pre-workout drink. I do this so my body doesn’t build a tolerance to one or the other. It is always smart to cycle off of any supplements for about every month and a half. Also, I recommend not taking and pre-workout drink after 8:00PM, unless you want to stay up until 6:00AM.
When all is said and done I prefer jacked 3D over NO-Explode. But when my tolerance for jacked is high I know it is time to switch to NO-Explode or cycle off of the two all together.
