The Jack3d is crazy pre-workout stuff...IF you do decide to use it, try small amounts to begin with. Its like taking 6 espresso's and really lives up to its name...literally!
I'm not a major fan of supplements but perhaps some Glutamine for post-workout.
Good sleep is also a must! Try n be in bed for 10pm/11pm and get 7-8 hours REM sleep.
For motivation, Ive personally found watching workout videos on dedicated forums worked best for me. Google "ronnie coleman" haha
I really would urge writing everything down in a log-book as it provides motivation. At leats do it for 1 month as habits usually take 1 month to form.
Use a weight which is such that on your 10th rep it becomes almost a struggle.
Light weight/many reps = conditioning
Heave weight/low reps = mass building
Write down the weight ur lifting n aim to increase gradually week-by-week by around 2-5kg
Decide which body type you fall into and do a google search on the types of exercise routines most optimal to you (ecto-, endo- and mesomorphs are the 3 body types)
Nutrition has been covered above. Id recommend good natural nutrition over supplements. Think of it as the fuel your body needs to move and GROW.
If you ecercise and dont eat adequatly, your muscles begin to eat themselves (autotrophic metabolism). So keep eating and keep in a HYPERtrophic momentum
Good Luck!
I wouldn't suggest using Jack3d as a beginner. You will only become dependent on it. I've been using it for 5 days now and the results are not the same. The first day i took 1.5 scoops. 30 minutes later i felt like a monster. I was doing SERIOUS lifting for about 2 hours. The power it gave me it kind of felt like a drug and the feeling was amazing. Now 5 days later its just not the same. It still works but not as the first time.
Basically what i mean is that you should have way more than enough motivation and energy as a beginner to use a product like this. This stuff is not good for you.

well i just found this old thread. just my 2 cents...
lately i've been doing p90x and have to say i couldn't be happier that i am doing it. into my 5th week now. if only i would've discovered this when i was taking boxing, i would be a supastar. boxing to me is still the #1 workout but i think p90x goes right along with it.
