I recieved my bottle Omega Sports' Power Jolt today, but not until after my workout. Thanks for picking me as a tester, Matt. I have been off of all stimulants for the last month, and I can't wait to start getting chemically psyched up again! I'll be commenting on energy, focus, drive, and mind-body connection. The bottle says Power Jolt gives you a clean, non-jittery energy, so I will also see how that goes.

My Stats:
Age: 21
Weight: 169
Height: 6 ft.
BF: 6.5% (as of 3/15/05. Haven't been able to test since then, may be slightly higher now like 7.5%)

Current Supplements:

ON's 100% whey
Dymatize Elite whey
Syntrax Matrix 5.0
Dextrose
Centrum Performance Multi Vitamin
Vitamin C 500mg
Cod Liver Oil
Citruline Malate


Other pre-workout energizers I have used:

Throttle 1400X
Cardio Breeze
Neurostim + C
Redline Liquid
Redzone Caps


Current lifts:
DL – 370 x 6
Db bench – 88s x 8
ATG squat – 215 x 5
Leg press – 640 x 8

Does anyone want me to post up the weights I used for each workout? It takes longer (this is the most busy part of the semester) but if anyone thinks it is relevant I will.

I'm bulking. Diet is around 3000-3500 cal/day, ave 250P/350C/60F. I don't keep track, that is a rough estimate.

Also, I eat very clean, LOTS of fiber, good fats, and no hydrogenated oils ever. Keeps me pretty lean while bulking.

Focus on stuff like:
oats, tuna, chicken, steak, pb, almonds, milk

Good Luck what did you think of NeurostimC+?

I liked it a lot for focus and it increased my mind-muscle connection. There were also days when I kept that focus and mental edge for long after my workout, which helped with studying and writing papers.

I did a log on it a while back, check it out:

Day 1:

Pre workout: 2 caps (1/2 serving), 20 min. before workout

Workout - Delts & Traps & Abs

bb press:
10 x 125
10 x 125
10 x 125
10 x 125
10 x 125
5 x 165

cable rear laterals:
10 x 47.5
9 x 47.5
8 x 47.5

lying laterals (in front of thigh): (hurt RC)
8 x 28

cable laterals (behind back):
3 x 9 x 35

Behind back bb shrug
5 x 8 x 295

db press drop set:
53 x 8
43 x 7
33 x 6
28 x 8

hyper bench oblique crunch:
2 x 15 (per side)

swiss ball crunch:
2 x 15

Started with 1/2 dose to see how I respond, and since I have been stim free for so long. Had moderate energy but nothing too exciting. I will try 3 tomorrow, then the full 4 caps next. Normally, I am pretty responsive to this type of stuff.

Rotator cuff was painful this morning I guess from sleeping on it. Thats why I decided to go light on the bb press and do more reps and sets. A couple of the other exercises hurt too, but it should be better soon.

matpal
04-17-2005, 07:09 PM
yeah, go ahead and try the full dose. Remember, this will not be a cray insane boast of energy like Amp, but it will give a very nice, clean intense focus. Good luck.

Day 2:

Pre workout: 4 caps (full serving) 20 min. before workout

Workout - Legs

warmup - few minutes of running

ATG squat:
8 x 165
8 x 195
8 x 215
4 x 225 :)

Leg Press:
10 x 640
10 x 640
14 x 640

seated leg curl:
3 x 10 x 280

SLDL: (for old times sake)
15 x 135

45 degree calf press:
3 x 20 x 180
SS w/
seated calf press:
3 x 20 x 180

Well, well. I definitely felt this stuff today. It is not a feeling of extreme energy, just like Matpal said. I felt a strong "drive" like I was able to use my mind to push my body harder than ussual. Its kind of hard to describe, but with the last 2 sets of squats, on the ascent, I just felt like I was mentally powering the weight up. As if I was better able to switch something on in my mind that made me push harder when my body felt spent. Very cool. I had no idea I was gonna hit 8 reps with 215, so I just went for 225.

No jitters, anxiety, or speedy heart beat. I think its the rhodiola that smooths this out.

Day 3:

Pre workout: 4 caps 15 min. before workout

Workout - chest & tris

db press:
8 x 65
7 x 90
6 x 90

incline db press:
9 x 65
10 x 65
11 x 65

cable fly chest level: (supinated grip to take front delts out)
3 x 15 x 50

CGBP:
3 x 10 x 155

rope press out, lunge stance:
3 x 10 x 220

1 arm cable pressdown: (pronated, then switching to supinated)
8,4 x 80
8,4 x 80
10,4 x 80

overhead cable extension:
2 x 7 x 70

bench dips
42

Used the school gym, so the cable weights are way off. I did press the 90, which was awesome, but the damn db are fat and coated in this thick rubber **** so I couldn't bring them close together at the top to get a good contraction. The 90s are as huge as 150s are at anormal gym. I only use that gym when I'm in a rush and can't drive out between classes.

I felt an intense drive again that really seems to help when putting up heavy weights. There is a mental connection I'm feeling that is not ussually there. More sweating too.

Day 4:

Pre workout: 4 caps 15 min. before workout

Workout - back & bis

Deadlift:
8 x 300
8 x 350
8 x 370

hammer grip chins:
3 x 10

1 arm pulldown:
3 x 9 x 105

incline db curls:
14 x 38
8 x 38

hammer curls:
3 x 16 x 48

rev. bb curls:
7 x 75
7 x 75 (drop)
5 x 55
7 x 35
(no rest period)
bb curls:
10 x 45

Had to do a quick workout with shorter rest periods b/c Wednesdays I have chem lab to go to. DLs felt very good, I added 2 reps to 370 since last back day. Also added some good weight to the 1 arm pulldowns. When I do these I pull my elbow down to the side of my body, not in front. It is a great way to focus on the front and lower part of the lats and really squeeze them. I would have loved to lift much longer, feeling motivated, but had to go.

So far the energy is very clean. If you've tried liquid redline, it is the opposite of that.

Hey bro ever notice not too many ppl are interested in pre workout stimulants compared to creatine, weight loss, ppl forget that if you can perform 100% in the weight room or any PA that supplements arent that helpful. Just a thought

When I am on Power Jolt an in the gym, there is no other place I'd rather be. The focus is just great and its been putting me in a good mood too. I'm feeling less tired during wrokouts and have more endurance.

Ive noticed the same thing...the name of the product did not pan out as I planned with the seruos kick in the pants, but it does give you an awesome laser-like focus. I downed mine today with some choline and piracetam and worked like a mule for hours with a super nice, clean supply of energy.

Yes the focus is the best I have ever had. Great for going heavy and also for working on form. I like this feeling much better for lifting than a hyper/racing feeling. There is such a thing as too much stimulation. I have yet to try Power Jolt before cardio.

About the choline, how come you didn't include that in the formula? I've heard when you take ALCAR, its good to also take choline, because ALCAR can deplete the body's choline supplies. Would it be good to add some choline every once in a while if I'm taking Power Jolt every day?

matpal
04-21-2005, 05:19 PM
Well, because adding the choline would make the dosage in the 8 cap range, and I really wanted people to stack this with Thunder, and I do not see most people wanting to take 18 caps at once.

To be honest, I have not heard that about ALCAR, but I suppose it could be possible. Choline is so cheap anyway, it would be a good idea to include it if you can IMO.

You sure you're not thinking of piracetam? Never heard of having to take choline w/ ALCAR? :confused:

Loky posted this somewhere a few months back.

If you're using ALCAR, you should make sure you're also taking a source of choline with it (they're nootropically synergistic).

Also read this:

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=404194&highlight=ALCAR+CHOLINE
If you're going to be taking 3g of ALCAR like that on the regular, you need a source of choline in your diet (either via direct supplementation or lecithin consumption).

For one, choline conserves carnitine, and they're also neurally synergistic (1), particularly because choline is a precursor to the neurotransmittor acetylcholine. It also inhibits acetyl-COA (bad) build-up.

Trying this makes me want to try Omega's CET some time. I gained so well off of Ether, so I want to see if I could do the same off of CET. I was bascially stuck hovering between 160 and 162 since November and Ether started me growing again, now I'm at 170, but I seem to have tapered off.

Day 6:

Pre workout: 4 caps (full serving) 20 min. before workout

Workout - Legs

warmup - few minutes of running

ATG squat:
8 x 175
8 x 205
8 x 225

Leg Press:
8 x 650
8 x 650
12 x 650

seated leg curl:
3 x 9 x 285

SLDL:
18 x 145

seated calf press:
3 x 22 x 180

1 leg stading calf press:
2 x 8 x 20

1 leg 45 degree calf press:
7 x 70
9 x 50

45 degree calf press:
2 x 30 x 50 (10 top, 10 bottom, 10 full)

My ambition was so high today! I added 4 reps onto my squats w/ 225. I definitely should have stopped at 7, but for once I was acctually enjoying it and didn't want to stop. I was pausing at the top of each rep for a few seconds to regain a little strength. On the 8th rep, I ended up rounding by back, which felt bad and looked bad. My back is the limiting factor when I squat not my quads, I guess thats why my leg press is so high but my squats are not. I also did a lot of extra calf stuff today because like I said, I just felt extra motivated.

Power Jolt enhances my mood, and it seems like more I lift the better I feel.

Stuff like that can be frustrating. Thats kind of what happened with NOS Ether when Chuck sent it out. He had to send it again, and he had to pay the shipping twice.

Im also testing this product.

Ya no kidding the US Postal Service is messed up they would give me no answers I had to practically bag the lady to look up the tracking number to see where it was at because she was sure it would be at my house soon. Then she looked it up and found out it got sent back to Missouri. Pathetic do you know what would of went wrong?

I don't know, maybe the address is off. For me, the apt # was off by one #, so instead of putting it in the box where all the other mail with my name on it was going, they just sent it back. Hope you get it eventually.

I think this is mostly due to the rhodia, that is great stuff. The formula is pretty similar to NEurostim+C (subtract choline and add rhodiola), but it gives me a different feeling and I think that is why.

ive take neurostim+c aswell, even a double dose and didnt feel much.

I think its the combination of tyrosine and everything else.

THe tyrosine i think amplifies the effects.

I agree, it does

The weird thing about the Rhodiola is some people will be flying high of the 200mg and other people, like myself, will down a gram and feel nothing.

But I love the 20mg of vinpocetine in the Jolt...defiantly gets me going.

Decent workout. I am thinking about changing my workout split for the first time in 1.5 years. Tried doing a little tri/bi suppersetting. I might start doing arms as one day, and combine chest and back. Don't know if I can handle doing two major parts like chest and back on the same day, but it won't hurt to try.

The focus is still great and training has just been fun lately.

Bammy

Day 8:

Pre workout: 4 caps 15 min. before workout

Workout - back & bis

Deadlift:

1 arm pulldown:
3 x 10 x 107.5

SS w/ (without dropping dbs, making 40 rep sets)
hammer curls:
3 x 20 x 28

high cable curls:
3 x 7 x 50

random other 1 arm cable curls:

So I started with deads, and it just didn't feel right today. I just needed a break from doing neck vein popping, PR ever day deads. Every other part of the workout went great. I was loving biceps, as you can see, getting awesome contractions that felt productive. Biceps have gone from being a least favorite muscle to work to one of my favorites. I didn't stop until the front desk chick said "10 min till close." Good stuff, very good stuff.

Its hard to say goodbye to an old routine, but I am changing it up at the advice of a friend. I really liked what I was doing, but I'm told I will get some pretty nice gains from starting something new. I have been doing that same split for a year and a half. Today I started German Volume Training. I'm focusing on perfect form, and the rest periods are shorter, or no rest period at all. Yeah I did back yesterday, but I'm getting in step with a lifting partner. This **** was killing me though, and now my head hurts and my muscles ache deep down in a way they ussually don't. And I was getting REALLY thirsty during the workout.

All in all, I think the Power Jolt helped me to focus in on my form today.

Day 10:

Pre workout: 4 caps 20 min. before workout

Workout - legs & abs

ATG Squats:
10 x 10 x 135
SS w/
SLDL
6 x 10 x 55 (too light didn't feel much in hams)
pump in lower back got too painful, switched to:
Seated leg curl
4 x 10 x 150

seated calf raise:
3 x 12 x 100
SS w/
swiss ball crunches:
3 x 12 x no weight

Sweating big time, but I hung in there pretty well. By set 10 of squats I got 10 reps after dipping down to 9 and 8 in the middle. Focus was very good. These workouts are intense though. Its easy in the beginning, then about half way throught it starts to weigh on you. The rest periods are so short its almost like cardio.

This is the opposite if what I had been doing before for the most part. Went from trying to get the heaviest weights I could for 5-8 reps, to doing light weight for tons of sets. I really like going heavy but if I get some good size from this then its worth it. I just don't want to go back to what I was doing later and be weaker.

Great work, Bammy. Keep it up.

In the other threads, some people have toyed with the idea of doing 6 caps during really intense workouts. You may want to try this just for kicks if your workouts keep increasing in intensity.

Thats sounds like a good idea. Even at the 4 caps, I'm doing well with the GVT. I can't say it doesn't kick my ass, but the focus stays stong the entire time even when I get tired. Normally when I get tired towards the end of workouts thats when my focus takes a nose dive and I have a tendency to do something with bad form and hurt myself (like when I pulled an adductor doing hamstring curls about a month ago). With Power Jolt, I may be beat down, but I never lose the drive that I started with.

This ain't that hard. I like the arm super sets a lot. I'm getting my form textbook strict and it feels like its more effective. My energy and focus was perfect today, feeling good, even after 5 hrs of sleep.

OK so this isn't GVT but the program had no shoulder day so I said lets add a shoulder day and this is what my workout partner wanted to try. He's been training for 15 years so I'm pretty much giving his methods a try for a few weeks so I can learn new techniques. But he's taking ab pointers from me :)Let me tell you this burns the hell out of your front delts!

My focus is still on point, and my muscles are fatiguing but not my motivation or energy levels.

Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I just can't wait till tuesday to do another leg day when I'm recovered. I wanted to see if my strength was the same, and I think I'm losing some.

I had pleny of focus as always, but I've been getting these headaches while training and for hours after for the past week. I thought it was the new routine, but now I'm not sure since it started today too during leg press.

Today I didn't take the Power Jolt, and I got no headache. I think the Power Jolt is giving me these headaches. Not sure if I should keep using it or not, they have been interfereing with the term papers I have to write. Are any of these ingredients known to cause this?

Well, to be perfectly honest, there is nothing I am aware of in the Jolt that would be causing headaches, but by all means, if they are hampering studying for finals, I would do whatever you think needs to be done to put them to a halt.

Maybe you have a bad reaction to one of the ingredients. The only thing I can imagine would cause headaches is caffeine, if you are sensitive to it. This product really should help with studying.

I think it might be the caffiene. I was also reading up on the other ingredients. On the bb.com site it says a possible side of vinpocetine is headaches. Its too bad because this product really helps with motivation. I'm going to give it another go today and it it happens again I'm going to have to stop using it.

ive take neurostim+c aswell, even a double dose and didnt feel much.

I think its the combination of tyrosine and everything else.

THe tyrosine i think amplifies the effects.
Same here. I didn't get much from neurostim+c but Power Jolt is working well for me. It definitely goes nicely with Thunder. Only thing that sucks is I just ran out of Thunder this morning and I still haven't gotten my new bottle from bb.com yet and it's been a while. Going to have to switch to bulk cee until it comes in I guess.

Day 15:

Pre workout: 4 caps 25 min. before workout

Workout - chest & back

incline bb press:
10 x 10 x 115
SS w/
wide grip pullups
10 x 10 x no weight

flat db flys:
3 x 12 x 33s
SS w/
db rows:
3 x 12 x 48s

Need to up the weight on the last 2 exercises. I got another headache right behind my forehead while lifting. I'm going to have to end the log here, I guess there is just something I am reacting badly too. It kind of negates the focus aspect when your head starts to hurt because it distracts you.

Final Review:

I enjoyed Power Jolt a lot before it started to make my head hurt. I was getting a great mental connection even better than I felt on Neurostim+C. The energy was never very pronounced though. That can be a good or bad thing depending on what you are looking for. There were no jitters or anything like that. Very relaxed and smooth feeling energy. There is also the plus that Power Jolt improves your mood and makes you feel happy. This product helped me push a few extra reps when I was going heavy, and helped me work on my form too.

Thanks, Matt. Any new name ideas for this?

Great work, Bammy...sorry about the headaches, though.

I am thinking on "Locked In"...what do you think?

Bammy

I was thinking about the name and the best I could come up with was "Laser Focus." But I'm not very good with creative names. I like yours better, "Locked in," thats pretty good. That is a good representation of how it makes you feel, much better than "Power Jolt."

hey matpal i just saw cerebral on omega's website, is this supposed to be another form of jolt?

matpal

No, it is a nootropic cocktail similar to Ergopharm's new product. Although I suppose if you took it with Jolt it would be a serious stack.
