  • CAFFEINE IS EVEN WORSE.CAN CAUSE HEART ATTACK AND STROKE.

  • I would like to knwow what you think about N.O Xplode or similar products without 1,3 DMAA?

  • I use White-Flood and wouldn't give it up for anything. JACK3d made me moody and I'd crash right after a workout. I'll never take that crap again.

  • Great Insight

  • how much mg of dmaa in a scooop of jack3d

  • DMAA linked to death of 2 U.S. soldiers, massive recall ensues

  • Hey Jeff, Im going to start AthleanX starting New Years and i wanted to know if I should be taking A pre workout? I mean ive been taking For my privies workouts.

  • If DMAA is bad for you what about DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) ?

  • @xscarlet7 I would like to know is too. Somebody please answer.

  • Hey man, can you do a video on ephedrine?

  • Finally a review on this stuff by a critical thinker!

  • i like the fact that you support your theories with evidence and its you seem to actually know what you are talking about , i was reading a preworkout supplement review , il leave it un named but it says it has geranium robertianum , is this the same thing ?

  • Jeff, can you do a video about Force Factor. I wanna know about that supplement b/c I have seen a lot of advertisement for online and I'm not completely sure about it b/c it's being advertised so heavily.

  • Pre-workouts such as: N.O. Xplode, Nano Vapor, Complete Nutrition's Buzzerk, and Muscle Pharm's Assault don't contain 1,3 Dimeth. I've used Cellucor C4 before I knew about 1,3 dimeth and I can say that the energy I felt when I was only half way through my cycle on the product diminished quickly, and I didn't feel as good in the gym while taking it as I did before I'd started on it.

  • a nice milky cup of coffee about an hour before my workout is good enough for me

  • zyzz just listend to loud house music... anything that gets u pumped to work out guys.don't waste ur cash with pre workouts

  • Hi Jeff, I'm from Ukraine =) Your Channel is awesome! Thank's for the info!!!

  • Yea man. Omg Jeff its so unfair that you are smart and have a good body as well. How'd you manage your time during high school - college?

  • Thanks to my grade 12 chem class, I actually understood the chemical explanation :)

  • Thanks so very much for sharing this info, and for backing it up with science. Just found your channel (I was doing a search on L-Glutamine) and I love it. I've been trying your ab wheel workouts. I can't get the standing (pike to plank or the push up versions done as yet. But I'll get there. And I wont give up until I do. Keep the awesome vids coming.

  • Coffe works for real chech out. And dont use steroids just saying.

  • nice ochem background

  • Not a fan of preworkout supplements.. Black coffee is cool!!

  • ROFLMAO

    RIPPED AND GENIUS what do you want more?

    much respects brah

  • ya elevated caffeine levels are banned in the olympics

  • this stuff got me my 19 inch arms and at 5 foot 9 i look great ,so why would i want to stop taking it ???

  • @wildestwesty Because it is quite common for people who have taken this to have had heart attacks and have died whilst exercising because of the effects which is what Jeff was getting at i think. He was trying to inform people that it is not safe to use and there are other safer ways to help gain the look you're after. What good are 19 inch arms if you are dead because of unnecessary risks?

  • @garnrfcsecondrow well i am alive and my friend ,and will probably live to 120 so whats the problem ? i dont take the stuff anymore anyway ,it was just to speed up the process and was well worth it ,without it i would still be struggling with only 15 inch arms

  • This guy is such a broscientist. 1,3 d is bad if u take a shit load.

  • Are there any preworkouts that dont contain this?

  • need sum advise on ethadrine or sumthink

  • jeff what are your thoughts on mesomorph?

  • @Gongchiu also what pre workout supplement do you use?

  • @AdverbAdjective naw i dont know him personnaly just my friend knew him but i think it clogged his blood flow and his brain wasnt getting enough oxygen something like that =/

  • @AdverbAdjective yupp! he took jack3d for about 3 years and he'd always use 3 scoops everytime, so yeah blood thinners now : /

  • I just threw away my stash of 1,3 dimethyl products (C4, Sinn Juice, ACG3) I was barely halfway finished with each of them. But still, throwing away $70 versus my health, no comparison. Thank you for this informative video.

  • @RingleaderMane Shoulda sent it to me man

  • @Xeando Lol wouldn't wanna kill you bro, you'll thank me when you're 50.

  • @RingleaderMane Go with cellucor's new NO extreme...it is almost identical to C4, but it doesn't have the 1,3 Dimeth

  • Still i love the Geranium olie, i use it one or two times a week, makes me stronger.

    I hope they will put in in Redbull to!

  • @lasernederland ya but its gonna have side effects later on

  • @YEUHNBD

    Do you really think? What will happen? Or what can happen? A lot of products have 1,3 Dimethylamylamine (hope spelled it right) Pleas replay, i will read.

  • @lasernederland well i think this guy really knows what hes talking about and he says its dangerous...so ill believe him...plus this stuff clogs your blood stream and can cause strokes...my friends friend is on blood thinners for life cuz of jack3d...honestly id just stay away from this...i only hear bad things about it...if you wanna get stronger and use supps just stick to caffeine and beta alanine...or even better yet eat healthy and get good sleep

  • So meth addicts can stay out of jail by just going to GNC?

  • Thanks for the advice, I never knew about this!!!! You the bomb JDC!!!

  • what pre workout supps do you recommend?

  • Ordered a bottle of this stuff from a bulk site for a preworkout I have been formulating.  Starting to think it's going to get tossed. Heard it constricts blood flow rather than enhancing? Not what you want in a preworkout. I think I'll stick to some arginine, maybe agmatine, creatine, beta alanine, and caffeine. Was wondering though, what is your point of view on glycerol monostearate? Have heard good and bad.

  • @HerberttheHisser yeah im not an expert like this guy.. but this 1, 3 dimeth stuff just clogs your blood flow and arteries so just stay away from it is what id do. try COMPLX5 from RivalUs they are a small brand and not as popular but i like their products. hope this helps : )

  • get this Jeff, somebody popped hot on a drug test out here in iraq because 1 3-dimethylamylamine was screening as meth-amphetamine. guy was using jack3d at the gym. i was interested in using it, but i think i'll just have a coffee 30min before heavy lifting.

  • stick to green tea with a caffeine supp and lots of water, you'll be fine and guess what! it WONT give you a stroke!! ;)

  • Superpump, no xplode, fighter's fuel, juggernaut, pretty much all the one's not winning the awards are the non deadly ones.

  • 1,3 dimeth. is one molecular bond away from being an amphetamine. This can do nothing but harm your heart, brain and destroy your glands.

  • is superpump max good? it doesnt contain dmaa or geranium oil

  • Great video, i know the positives and negatives, but can natural Adrenaline cause strokes and heart attacks too??

  • i'm reading organic chemestry! FINALLY A GUY WHO KNOWS HIS SHIT :D

  • Lol CAN SOMEBODY WATCH THIS WHOLE VIDEO SIMPLIFY IT THEN MAKE EVERYBODY THUMBS UP IT SO ITS AT THE TOP . Make likef a whole lot simpler

  • Hey Jeff what's your body fat percentage buddy?

    Jimmy 4rm UK

  • I want to ask is Pharma Whey HT+ good, because i want to use it but if its not good i wont ! 

  • Now that you brought up sleep, I have a question JD, I usually get 7 hours of sleep a night. I usually take a hour nap during the day around 3pm. Does this hinder my muscle growth and recovery ability?

    Thanks,

    Fernando

  • You are very intelligent JD, where did you attend school where you studied biochem?

  • good id man love your videos keep them coming!!!!!!

  • use caffeine at your own risk . in some people probably less than 10% can do serious harm to their adrenal glands with just moderate regular use of caffeine. one persons use is anothers abuse. peace

  • So what would be a good pre work out supplement? I get enough rest at night but feel a little sluggish after work.

  • omg jeff.... I ve been using JACK 3D and Contains that stuff.... also i find it very heard fro me to sleep.... i was up for 5 hrs before i fell asleep...thanx for the video!

  • Thank you! your facts just changed my opinion on what I was about to buy

  • so does cellucors C4 fall in this catagorie

  • @GardenDelux yes i just read the label so does Jack3d

  • @GardenDelux absolutely.

  • @GardenDelux yup!!

  • Dude , i love your vids but u rly need to make your intro shorter...

  • can u do a review on cyto sport muscle milk thanks

  • mouth tissue growth = more pleasure for women :)

    Great vid Jeff XD

  • caffeine is also banned for athletes btw

  • @StaTiCEnT3 No it isn't. Caffeine is not on the WADA list or banned for use in any professional sporting association.

  • @JDCav24 are you sure? when i was watching the ncca tournament the announcers were talking about athletes being tested for it before games because it has to be a "natural" energy. I've also read in places that high dosages of it is also banned.

  • @JDCav24 I am by no means questioning you knowledge but am curious what are the neggative effects of caffine in exercise? In high school I drank coffee before school on days when we maxed out our bench. It gave me more energy and I was able to exert more energy lifting on average 10 pounds more. But my wrestling, cross-country, and weightlifting coaches warned against caffine even in chocolate claiming it caused muscles including the heart to contract and can cause a heart atack. Is this true?

  • @JDCav24 actually caffeine is banned in NCAA college athletics if over a specific amount it found in the urine.

  • @Clemenza6 "professional sporting association"

  • @JDCav24 Actually it is banned by the NCAA...but only at extreme levels. You would have to take four to five times the suggested dosage of most pre-workout supplements so its not really an issue unless you're taking straight caffeine pills.

  • @StaTiCEnT3 Over a certain amount is banned here at local colleges. A punter was suspended for the entire season for drinking an energy drink then getting drug tested right after and tested high for caffeine.

  • @Allday520 exactly maybe high amounts of it are only banned at certain places...i'm 100% positive its not legal every where....mike brueswitz from wisconsins mens bball team if u watch it....is drug tested for caffeine before every game because he has such a high energy level....also 1,3 dime is also BANNED by the ncca and other sports organizations as of recent, i have cellucors c4 extreme pre workout and it has an athlete disclosure saying theres restrictions on it by the ncca wada mlb nfl etc

  • @StaTiCEnT3

    lol retard.

  • @StaTiCEnT3 you need to be more up to date it used to be banned

  • Well which are your top 5 that you would recommend ?

    

  • Superpump 250 doesn't have this stuff right? I couldn't find it on the supplement facts.

  • good video man thanks for posting this

  • Dude I'm taking pure DMAAA from professional supplements its 40mg I just threw the drugs out!

  • Check it out AthleanX Youtubers, our weightloss and ripped lifestyle mentor couldnt get more legit, has all the physical attributes and the mental ones too, Degrees, etc. the whole 9 yards we're listening & watching top advice not some roided up freak's random advice. So to the people bitching about the intro, loose your bitch tits and fast forward works out your lower pecs if you click properly. Just Sayin.... 

  • tHANKS!!!!! I WENT HOME AND CHECK FOR THIS ingridient and It was in my pre-workout drink.

    Thanks from takeing the time to explain all this in great details!

  • Hahaha who loves organic chemistry! Jeff you are the man! Both physically and mentally.

  • the suppliment industry isnt very strict on the products they sell thats why supplements are released then recalled cause they find out it causes health risks and is dangerous

  • Hey Jeff, how long did it take you to get your Physical Therapist Degree and what University? I am on my first year of college and I'm planning on being a PT as well.

    Great video by the way and now I know not to buy any pre work out supplements.

  • Hey man, I've recently purchased Jack3d which has 1,3-Dimethylamylamine in it. Do you think it's safe to stay with the recommended dose? I've taken it once and genuinely felt good and had more energy. Would you recommend avoiding it completely?

  • putting x at the end of a workout program always makes it ten times as hardcore =)

  • what pre-workout supplements do you recommend for me, im 16, skinny and want to get bigger!!!!

  • thank you so much jeff that was good inf. thank you

  • Thanks for that video, Jeff. And thanks for reminding everyone about the simple things, like sleep and proper nutrition - things that have been around for ages!

  • Much respect for you, Jeff, and your team.

  • Jeff, you're awesome. Not only do you offer your program at a reasonable price, but you post these free videos from which I learn so much. I admit to sometimes wishing the intros were shorter, but that is because I am eager to get to your presentation, and often I watch several in a row. But for free, dude, as much as you have given back, do it. Plus, I like the music. Thanks, man.

  • What pre workout supplement do you recommend?

  • so how much of this stuff is in our basic workout supplements?

  • Damn why the hell is everyone making such a big fuss out of my comment! I didn't expect my comment to be such a big issue, to be honest I didn't think anyone would even like or dislike it. All I'm saying is either he should stop or shorten his video's bcuz there quite repetitive 'OR' change the music on a regular basis's just to keep viewers even 'more' interested! I don't really care what anyone says or thinks about my comment, as long as Jeff knows I meant no disrespect! To him or his vid's

  • @TheAwesomeOne0100 Right back at ya ;)

  • Big Respect to Jeff for given us a heads up on this issue, many of us don't even realise what we are putting in our bodies..Nice one Jeff!

  • hey jeff really appreciate the advice (your training system is AWESOME! by the way I have just purchased it and i'm hoping to be atheletic and lean by summer ;) I wondered if by any chance you could make a video with advice regarding to lower back pain? It has been giving me some trouble recently but I would like to keep training if possible since I don't want to loose my strength I've acheived! Thanks.

  • Thanks for the science!! love it! I agree 100% with your conclusion to this video. I had the best practice ever on friday and the thing that made it different from other days? A five star birthday dinner cooked my by french-chef Dad. As a result I've decided to swtich to eating meals before practice and snacks after rather than the other way around. :D

  • Jeff, with so many fitness gurus here on Youtube, I think you're the best one!

  • wats your take on no-xplode im thinking about trying it out because its on sale at gnc this week

  • This is a great video. Thank you for not skimping out on the science jargon. It's nice to see fitness and nutrition information being presented in a more rigorous, scientific context. It adds a lot more weight to what you're saying and is actually more useful and descriptive. I'd love to see this trend continue in your videos.

  • thanks for the vid jdc. my fav youtuber

  • i think you need to start selling your athleanx t-shirts on your website!!

  • I LOVE YOUR INTROS!

  • yea anything with meth in it is probably not good for u

  • @shaq147 that's like saying there's crack cocaine in coffee. even ephedrine is different enough from amphetamines for people to risk they're health and freedom to try and turn it INTO meth (the big difference is that it doesn't release dopamine in the brain, thus not depleting receptors causing addiction). if you are an otherwise healthy individual the recommended dosage (taken in moderation, NOT every day) of DMAA in an average sport supplement should not affect you adversely. moderation is key

  • Superpump MAX is great because dimethylamylamine isn't used. Good stuff!

  • Jeff,

    Now your talking! This is my favorite video to date that you've done. I hope to see more specialized videos like this in the future. Good job Bro.

    A.K.A.-- "Carl"

  • jeff i love your videos, when i am feeling a little bit tired before i train i take a sachet of dorian yates nox pump, checking this i see it has geranamine, i do not take it every time i train and do not take more than a sachet, what are your feeling on the random use of this and not taking more than stated

  • Is Methylxanthine the same thing?? please reply back!!!

  • @supersyncmaster no, but many stimulants like caffeine are derivatives of it.

  • Comment removed

  • why is everyone getting worked up about the intro!! one little click and its skipped and u can continue to get the free tips and advice

  • what is mouth extra tissue?

  • You're awesome, thanks for the vids.

  • he wears a t shirt :O

  • I hated ochem so much.. but i guess it does come in handy here and there.

  • 1:11

  • Jeff can u do a review about pink magic..

  • You're like the new Jack LaLanne! Keep it up!

  • My OxyElite Pro has this ingredient. I took 2 pills in the morning as stated in the bottle after the 4th day. I'm an RN and I checked my BP and HR after. It's no joke, possible heart palpitations occurred. Instead of taking 2 pills in the morning, I've been taking only 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. It's well tolerated as a safe range for me. The ingredient is dangerous and very risky. Use caution when taking it especially on those with history of stroke, CVA, or heart disease.

  • great video as always..thank you.

    

  • How do I get the shirt?

  • GNC is handing out free samples of Oxy Elite Pro with purchase of their vitamins. That energy booster has this in it and is labeled just like it is said in this video!

  • Thank You very much for the information!

  • I do not take supplements anymore. Cost way too much money, BUT it helped me

  • Really great video bro, especially the attention to details, and the fact you demonstrate you know exactly what you're talking about, nice that you post this stuff for our benefit, and i know you wont change it, but the intro's are really annoying, lol, but definitely still worth it

  • i want that shirt!!

  • Thanks for the heads up. Great info.

  • Thanks for the info, Jeff. Very helpful! 

  • thanks for sharing what are your thoughts on protandim?

  • Jeff runs a buisness called Athleanx. His videos have an intro. He gives out his information for free. All we need to do is watch and people still complain.

  • @yourtuberr - well said!

  • Lets make this clear. Jeff does not think this is a very good sort of supplement to use. Increases blood pressure and heart rate, while exerting yourself could potentially lead to a stroke. I don't know why people are asking if it's okay if they use what is recommended on the bottle, and expect Jeff to respond. He said, he does not like to use this himself, and does not recommend it to anyone else. So if you were to follow this to the T, don't use 1,3 dimethylamylamine.

  • Thanks for letting us know about this, so we can watch out for our health.

    Much appreciated.

  • didn't 2 south african rugby players get banned for talking flu medicine with dmaa in ? a few weeks ago

  • FDA = Feeding Death to America

  • I use NO-Xplode myself.

    What's your opinion about this particular supplement?

    Thanks,

  • @023mesut023 I've heard that a lot of these NO/Pre work out formulas could burn your adrenals out.0.

  • NO-Xplode? 

  • i only take one supplement - F O O D

  • Hi Jeff.

    I'm using 2supplements that both contains 1.3 dimethylamylamine

    oxyelite pro from USPlab and Anabolic Beast from star nutrition.

    My question is how dangerous is it to use these products aslong as I am stying to the recomended doses?

  • So if you take the recommended dose of the pre-workout supplement you should be okay? It's just bad when you're taking too much?

  • In New Zealand 1,3 dimethylamylamine ( or DMAA) is an emerging active ingredient of party pills, where it has replaced benzylpiperazine or BZP which has been illegal in that country since 2008. Serious adverse effects including headache, nausea, and stroke have been reported in recreational users of these products. In November 2009 the New Zealand government indicated that DMAA would be scheduled as a restricted substance.

  • keep complaining about the intros all you want hes not takin them off youre supposed to be getting in shape and youre complaining about clicking one more time to skip the first 30 seconds of the video come on now in my opinion he should make his next video a 1 min intro just to piss u guys off

  • i recommend roids

  • Hi, I use bcaa amino acids and creatine, are these any good?

  • Does SizeOn Max Performance from Gaspari have this?

  • @RoyWriter no Gaspari nutrition doesnt use 1,3 Dimeth in there products neither does N.O explode

  • Ah man my fav pre-workout drink 1.M.R. has 1,3-Dimeth in it! ! Thanks for the info Jeff, your video totally explained my high blood pressure. I recieved a physical examination from my doctor last month & I now have high blood pressure. I've been taking that stuff for the past 6 months. I'm definately going to stop buying that stuff!!! Thanks again Jeff, you're a life saver!

  • This is why I take 1/4-1/2 a scoop of cellucor M5 when I do use it. Great video

  • Jack3D That I've been using and liking has 1,3-Dimethylamylamine.

    I haven't been using more than one dose and sometimes I use less than recommended if Iwork out at night, so I can sleep.

  • I also use(d) jacked and was pretty happy with the results, but thanks to this review I wont buy it again

    I heard muscle pharm assault is also pretty good, it does not contain 1,3-Dimethylamylamine, so i'll go with that one

  • Excellent info! Read the label.

  • Scivation has removed this from their new product, which is replacing "Quake" called Novem. Since I bought a tub of quake that was a big lump on the bottom of the container they are sending a replacement with the new formulation. I personally don't get a rapid HR or elevated BP while on the 1,3 Dimeth. as my BP and HR are well below normal. For an experiment I did just take my BP having taken my usual 3 scoops of quake and my reading is 107/76 HR 76 and my normal is 98/67 HR 53

  • aweasome video. I never knew the preworkouts had all those dangerous things in them

  • Tons of great info. always. Thanks again

  • cool new information. Thank you
