Heres my review FWIW..
Ive taken BSN NO-Xplode, SuperPump250 and White Flood.
I was addicted to the NO-X when they had their old formula. The new formula rips my insides apart within a few hours of taking it.. almost uncontrollable bowl movements. Worked well, but like the rest, became immune to it.
SuperPump250... I only took this 1 time and tore the freaking gym apart for 1 day.. after that, I figured out why it was dubbed SuperDump250. The sides arent worth the trouble IMO. It made Niagara Falls seem like a trickle...
White Flood (stacked with GM).. I really liked this stuff. I read and read stuff on here about it (I dont post much) and decided to give it a run.. The taste was something to get used to but after a few days it was good. The initial feeling was awesome. I loved the tingling sensation. The only problem is that about 2/3 through the tub I didnt feel anything anymore. Sometimes it felt like my head was itching though an I assume it was the tingle again, but I could almost fall asleep in the middle of my workout. I think that comes from that Im an energy drink junky. I can go through 3-4 Monsters a day while still drinking soda (trying to stop that). Overall... with the price, amount of servings and effects... I like it! I'll be buying it again. I didnt like GM though, but thats for another thread.

awesome to hear. the top 400 gnc stores (by sports nutrition sales) now sell many of our products, including white flood :)
bb.comm is still an amazing place to buy from though :)
oh wow man, that's awesome to hear, out of all the products ive taken only ones that gave me effects noticeable are the ones from your brand.

Figured I'd post it in here as Thermadrene is my fat-burner/energy product of choice. I just got confirmation from corporate that SportPharma Thermadrene will be part of the Buy 2 Get 1 Free promo! It's really good timing for a nice, basic fat-burner like Thermadrene. Spring is just around the corner...
Here's a link to Thermadrene: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/sport/therma.html
3 bottles for only $11.99 + $11.99
I'll confirm again once it's ready to go in the cyberstore.

you can take green magnitude (pre-workout with WF or post) and/or Purple wraath (i recommend during workout). Thats what you should stack it with and it looks like a great stack. i personally take purple wraath post workout but i have a different pre-workout and intra-workout supplement.

Would taking White flood before workout and then taking Scivation xtend intraworkout reduce the effectness of either? that is fine
I posted this in the NO thread, but I thought I'd share my respect in both threads:
After trying multiple preworkout formulas, including SuperPump250 (SuperDump for me anyway - And yes I had the new lower-magnesium formula), MuscleTech Myoshock (I had a few free samples), and some other ones that I can't really think of, I've come to the conclusion that White Flood is possibly the best pre-workout product ever! I take the pill form since powders tend to give me the ****s, and the WF pills give me the power (and intestinal fortitude) to tear apart my workouts. I feel so focused, and the incredible pump makes me work even harder. I may try others (I've heard SuperCharge, NO Shotgun, and Animal Pump are all great), but I'm positive I'll always come back to the WF tablets!
Thanks for making a great, affordable product, CL!

the are both nitric oxide products, but very different. white flood is a powder or tablets and has stimulant and beta alanine. white blood is capsules and is stimulant free

different strokes for different folks, some like one more than the other. the ethyl esters are more expensive to produce though.

Hello All!
I'm looking to purchase a pre-workout formula to take for my workouts but however I'm looking something specifically that enlarges your muscles through the pump-effect. I've heard some words about "this product has the best pump effects 'my arm's expanded greatly in this product' and what not"
So is there a specific pre-workout that's great for strictly pumps and also something that makes you drive to the wall - referring to as makes you wild, crazy and like you feel a tingle in your skin and your body rages as if you're a psycho (hehe).
The one I tried was a MT Nano-Vapor through a friend and hey it did the job!
Bsn No-xplode was okay but it made me sleepy and like hyper at the end, no pump or so.
Thank you all!
Reps!

I have the same question. I don't have the time unfortuntely to read through this entire thread, so hoping I can get some feedback.
I currently use N.O.Xplode but was thinking of changing over to naNOVapor. What is everyone's thoughts?
Also, along the same line of supplements, what's the feeling toward Ultimate Nutritions adreNOline?
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. Total noob here.

I get a much better pump and mental focus from Superdump250, N.O. Shotgun, and Shock Therapy.. All we're much better!! That's just my opinion like it or not.. : )

nooby here looking for somehelp:
I currently take no-xplode and ON 100% Whey.
I was thinking of changing to naNOVapor and Cell-Tech Hardore for pre-workout, and keeping the ON Whey for afterward. Does that sound correct?
Also, since nanovaper is a pre-workout supplement, and you're supposed to take creatine before a workout, do you take them together, as in the same drink?

Review:
Taste: I got a chance to try both flavors and they are both really good. I really like the Fruit Punch. It is carbonated and I love that! 9/10
Mixability: Mixes perfectly. Not clumps or particles left over. just dont shake it! the top of your cup will explode off! 10/10
Profile: Wow just look at it!
http://allmaxnutrition.com/16_SharedImages/MPfacts_bluerazz.gif
Best of all it isnt a proprietary blend! Look at the label. You know exactly how much of what you are putting in your body!
I really like the ARA: Anabolic Response Activator. It gives your body what it really needs before a workout, EAAs. Which helps, this should be takin on an empty stomache. So the last meals aminos are fading this jump starts anabolism for your workout!
It is also full of electrolytes to keep your body hydrated.
The workout(energy, pump, and focus): Wow what a pump. I had so much energy. I took at at the gym and walked on the treadmill for 10 mins to warm up. By the time I was done i was ready to go. It kicks in that quick! which is great. My arms and chest were so full of blood it almost hurt! but in such a good way :) I am naturally pretty vascular, but wow i have never seen vasculairty like i had during this workout before. Little tiny veins I had never seen before! In the gym there was a good getting a photoshoot done and all kinds of stuff going on around me. Didnt matter. Nothing did except for what i was doing! I went through about 45 mins and felt like i could go on and on and on.

I have tried nano vapour, superpump, no shotgun, juggernaut, and multiple more. I'm going to have to say that I like superpump the most by far. Got tons of samples from the arnold classic so had enough to try everything a few times. Close 2nd, I'd have to go with no shotgun.. I was hoping on buying no explode at the expo but sold out quick. Next on my list to try.

the best pre workout supplement i would have to say the no explode by bsn. back when i used to workout in the city that was my supplement of choice. with this supplement it made me feel like my body part was gonna explode. the only thing i hate about this product is the energy does not last straight through my workout so just to counterdic my self, i am beter off sticking to "5 hr energy"

Been using USPLabs Jack3d and I like it better than Animal Pump, though Animal Pump is not bad by any means. Jack3d has given me the strength, stamina and pumps that are legendary. Been setting PRs left and right, especially on legs and chest with this and love the linear energy I get. Never feel a crash at all and if the workouts are going to be long, you can always add a second scoop for the extra endurance.
Big fan of Jack3d and many of the other USP products.

its crap. It gives u a solid pump, but the jitters and anxiety and restless nights don't make up for it. My caffeine tolerance is real high and I'm 207 pounds but this stuff makes you feel good for a little bit then its like getting hit by a truck.
Buyer BEWARE!!
x 10 and I did not even get a decent pump.
Jacked and white flood
Heard good things on Jacked. Don't know much about it though.
Personal favorite is n.o. xplode. I've tried many others just to see the hype such as vapor from muscletech (which sucked) so should give it a try
N.O. explode is a decent product, but so friggin expensive!! X2 on the Vapor
hands down its M5, made by Cellucor. only a handfull of places carry it and there is no bargins trying to find it on the internet. I was a huge fan of sumperpump 250 for a while till i tried M5. check it out. it"ll be worth your time.
This is a decent product and I got a great results when stacking with N-Zero by Cellucor. Same as the NO Explode though, expensive
Here is my two cents worth :D
Anabolic Rush
NEW from
AST Sports Science
By Brad Loomis RKC
WNBF Professional Bodybuilder
New from the makers of VP2 and Dymetadrine Extreme comes AST Sports Science most anticipated anabolic supplement of the New Year. AST has been very excited about this new product and rightly so. After 2 years of R and D, AST has come up with a product that is a proverbial four headed monster as your ally for muscle growth. Workout intensity, muscle cell hydration, protein synthesis, and training recovery are all part of Anabolic Rush.
After having gone through one jug of Anabolic Rush I can tell you I am hooked. The pre-workout rush of energy is worth the price of admission. It took a little trial and error to find my tolerance and now I have the perfect prescription. My first dose of Anabolic Rush was just as AST recommended 1 scoop 30 minutes before the workout. I was disappointed. No noticeable energy rush, no increase in focus, the only thing I could say was it sure tasted good. So for my second dose, I increased the dose to 2 scoops, 30 minutes before a workout. As I was driving to the gym I felt like breaking something. My foot was bouncing, my pulse quickened, all in all not only was I ready to workout, I had to be careful not to damage myself. I get to work early, really early. As owner of a gym, I open at 4:30am, train my first client at 5:00am and hit the weights myself at 5:30am. So more often then not, I am up eating my first meal right around 4:00am. So here is my prescription to great workouts, every time.
3:30am: 2 Dymetadrine Extreme by AST Sports Science.
4:00am: Eyes pop open and the Dymetadrine starts kicking in. Time to eat.
4:30am: On the way to a great day at the gym.
5:00am: Start drinking 1.5 scoops of Anabolic Rush
5:30am: Can?t wait to get my 5:00am client done so I can start training.
6:00am: In my mind; my workout is taking place in a box where it seems nothing else exists.
7:00am: The workout is done. Other than the usual post workout high, all is back to normal.
I?m not the only one who has had this incredible effect from AST?s Anabolic Rush. My training partner, Troy Kimberling, made the mistake of taking 2 scoops of Anabolic Rush with 2 capsules of Lipo 6 ?. He said he felt like he was going into A-Fib his heart was beating so fast. It could have been the best workout he ever had except he was distracted by his rapid heart beat.
So how is it that Anabolic Rush can pack such a powerful punch? AST?s patented Mind-Muscle Energy StimulatorTM Anabolic Rush contains an innovative Mind-Muscle Energy Stimulator using a newly developed ?Nano-technology? that goes to work fast giving your mind and body a potent long-lasting energy rush that will have you training with world class intensity. This Nano-Technology tailors site specific nutrient delivery and absorption. With Nano ? technology it?s not just the right nutrients, but the structure of these nutrients that delivers your mind and muscles what they need and when they need them. This new ?Nano-technology? is only available in Anabolic Rush!
That?s not all that Anabolic Rush delivers. However after having only taking it for one month, you can imagine that it will take more time to observe more results from Anabolic Rush.
So with that in mind, watch for Part II of this report in a few months. Using a Hologic Dexa Scanner, I will be comparing the results of my scan after using Anabolic Rush for one month, to using it for multiple months. The scan will show my fat mass, lean mass, and bone mass. I know Anabolic Rush gives me great workouts, but will it give me more muscle? Stay tuned!

I have gone through 2 tubs of White Flood. I loved it. It hit me quick and gave me energy throughout the toughest workouts. Unfortunately I didnt get that much of a pump. Taste is great though. Great pre workout.
I am currently finishing my second tub of SP250. Its pretty much the opposite of White Flood. I get great pumps but I feel a lot more tired when I lift. I dont have as much energy and focus. fruit punch tastes great but I use 2 1/2 scoops compared to WF's 1 - 1 1/2.
I was going to go back to WF on my next purchase but this new ALLMAX pre-workout looks legit. Any feedback on it would be great :]

Stuff is unreal, tried almost everything else before but Muscleprime is by far my favorite. Ears flushed and tingled the first couple time I used it due to the beta-alanine in it but that went away after 2 days. I'm 220 pounds and 2 scoops was enough for me. Great pumps, focus, and stamina.
1. Allmax - Muscleprime
2. Gaspari - Superpump 250
Wasn't a fan of either No-xplode or Nano vapor

I have used many pre-workout supplements, many of them had decent factors which others greatly lacked on.
NaNO Vapor: Decent energy boost and focus. Pump I got from this product was insane, tolerance did build up though and 3 scoops went to 4+. Decent taste, not great but to be expected. HARD crashes pwo, I'm talking 2 hour naps. Gains while on this product were substantial even with poor nutrition at the time.
Horsepower: Made me ill with stomach aches, nausea and occasionally light headedness. Little to no energy, pumps were good at best. No gains made on this product, weakest supp I have ever taken.
Armageddon: Good Energy and decent focus. Taste was awful so it was hard to get down. Pumps were great and some improvements were made.
Superpump 250: My favorite so far, great energy, focus and pump. My veins look insane when I work out and I have enjoyed every aspect of the product, even the taste.
Thinking about trying White Flood next, seems to have great reviews.

Im having the hardest time deciding what preworkout product to get... There is so much rep/marketing/and fake account bull**** in this thread.... theres only like 20% actual customers in here lol...
Im using black powder at the moment - No pump, i got some better stamina and a few extra sets maybe, good focus and energy that can get a bit jittery but pretty decent. No crash.
Previously ive tried,
Scivation preworkout stuff - was ****
NOxplode - tried this like 2.5years ago, was good. Not sure how it is now, gave me good pumps.
Dymatize - the energised version of their preworkout, was pretty good nothing to rave about really, didnt notice a whole lot beside the energy from the caffiene.
I want a product that will give me mad pumps, and a nice sustained energy. What ever niceties they throw in besides that are all good. Im thinking of getting the muscle prime and the SP250 and seeing what I like best out of those two... maybe WF, i dislike the amount of rep interference in this thread though. Jacked blend of beta alanine/aakg/creatine is only fkn 3.3g.... yea right sumthin is wrong there....

03-26-2009, 07:00 PM
I've tried NO Xplode, super pump 250, NaNO vapor, Black Powder.
Nano vapor is garbage, Black powder is alright, NO Xplode is good, but I would have to go with SP 250 so far.
What I am really searching for is a pre-workout that is truly different and that employs something else. So many pre-workouts use caffeine, arginine, beta-alinine, and trivial amounts of creatine.
Dark Rage really interests me because of the EPO technology in it. Does anybody have any feedback on this?

After trying Shock Therapy, NO-Shotgun, Animal Pump, etc all were good but so far none has given me the pump/feeling of tearing through iron like Beast Sports Predator has. It made me wanna crush iron and I couldn't wait till my partner was finished so I could bang out some more reps. Great feeling, I'd be going home on the bus pumped as a mofo. Good stuff guys, try it out. I plan on trying their CREA-Ture in the future.

In my opinion muscleprime makes me crash way too hard after the workout.

My list consists of : Nana Vapor , NO explode , Trac- extreme NO , White Flood
out of these the best so far is White Flood
NO explode - pros: good blood flow, caffeine explosion
cons: get immune to it too quickly, wears off quickly if you take a intra workout supp, sends u to bathroom quite often
Nana vapor- WORST ONE out of these 4 .....No pros, it sucks my imo
Trac- N/A .....this one is outdated compared to rest of stuff out there now
White Flood- this one if my favorite so far. You feel the Beta- Alanine alot and very flourished through out whole workout, no bad crashes, and blood flow is definitely there
white flood is the way to go so far

I wouldn't reccomend naNo Vapor, like pretty much all MuscleTech products it doesn't go very far since you're taking 3 scoops and after awhile the feeling you had when you first took it just isn't there. It also tastes awful. I only had the fruit punch but man I would gag that stuff down sometimes. I was never much of a fan of MuscleTech but that's all they had at the PX and I figured I'd give it a try.
Alot of the guys I know are big fans of NO Xplode, I tried it once and it actually did taste pretty good and gave a pretty good pump.

I reckon WF looks the best as a preworkout supp, theyve listed the ingredients. Its pretty straight forward aswell, energiser, AAKG and beta alanine... Might buy this I reckon and add some citrulline malate myself....
I had a look at jacked, not enough amount of **** in it, and too much caffiene if you wanted to double the dose or wateva.
SP250, looks ok, you hear good **** about it but i dont really want aminos in my preworkout, they also dont have beta allanine or citrulline malate. Same with NOshotgun, its got the aminos in there yet again... Dont want that ****, if i wanna use aminos ill buy in bulk and superdose them.
The Muscletech products have that proprietary bull****, after watching stronger bigger faster I wouldnt touch that proprietary bull**** with 10ft pole.
The profile of NOxplode looks really good, actually everything id want, energy, AAKG, CM, beta alanine, antioxidants, bodysalts, creatine. Too bad its a bull**** proprietary blend, the ONLY reason to do that **** is to rip us off.
(currently using now, good results) Black powder by MRI, has creatine mix, AAKG mix, salts, beta alanine, energy and a small amount of whey peptide. Its buy2 get 1 free at the moment too, makes it a pretty attractive buy!
Then also animal pump is buy2 get 1 free. Their profile looks OK, not really as good as others. Also the tablets wouldnt be as good for absorption as the everescent powders, which is kinda important really.
Can anyone add to this, or make observations I may have missed?
Love to be able to go through and break it all down by price aswell per ingredients etc itd be too hard though, im also not sure whether even them listing ingredient amounts in secondary proprietary breakdowns allows them to add fillers and **** anyway.

But i am afraid to do so as i hav heard sumwhr that above age 45 any NO product is not recommended as it disturbs the blood flow in the body and causes high/low blood pressure...how true is dis...?
Current Suppliment my dad is taking is MuscleTechs NitroTech Hardcore.
He has had gud workout and body results with it.
SO shud my dad also try Animal Pump with me....?

SP250, looks ok, you hear good **** about it but i dont really want aminos in my preworkout, they also dont have beta allanine or citrulline malate. Same with NOshotgun, its got the aminos in there yet again... Dont want that ****, if i wanna use aminos ill buy in bulk and superdose them.
The Muscletech products have that proprietary bull****, after watching stronger bigger faster I wouldnt touch that proprietary bull**** with 10ft pole.
The profile of NOxplode looks really good, actually everything id want, energy, AAKG, CM, beta alanine, antioxidants, bodysalts, creatine. Too bad its a bull**** proprietary blend, the ONLY reason to do that **** is to rip us off.
First off, aminos are absolutely essential both pre- and post- workout. it doesn't hurt to have it in there, it will only help you. if you're writing off a pre-workout supplement just because it contains aminos, there's something very wrong there.
Also, as much as I agree with you about the whole "proprietary blend" fiasco, you do have to understand that when a company gets to a certain size, it just makes a whole lot more sense for them, cost-wise, to manufacture certain products using a proprietary blend... in SOME things. yes it's realistically not the best way of doing things from a customer's point of view, but if you're a manufacturer these are certain decisions that they have to make in order to streamline production and bring down costs to customers.
the best way of shopping for supplements is to go with a REPUTABLE COMPANY. for example - if you buy from BSN, as much as you might like NO-XPLODE, I'm sure you know about the lawsuits by now. I believe their label claims about as much as I believe the solicitor at my door trying to sell me life insurance. so you can pretty much throw their product, and their proprietary blend, out the window. there are definitely companies out there that do use proprietary blends in some of their products, that are also reputable and trustworthy.

I reckon WF looks the best as a preworkout supp, theyve listed the ingredients. Its pretty straight forward aswell, energiser, AAKG and beta alanine... Might buy this I reckon and add some citrulline malate myself....
I had a look at jacked, not enough amount of **** in it, and too much caffiene if you wanted to double the dose or wateva.

(currently using now, good results) Black powder by MRI, has creatine mix, AAKG mix, salts, beta alanine, energy and a small amount of whey peptide. Its buy2 get 1 free at the moment too, makes it a pretty attractive buy!
Then also animal pump is buy2 get 1 free. Their profile looks OK, not really as good as others. Also the tablets wouldnt be as good for absorption as the everescent powders, which is kinda important really.
Can anyone add to this, or make observations I may have missed?
Love to be able to go through and break it all down by price aswell per ingredients etc itd be too hard though, im also not sure whether even them listing ingredient amounts in secondary proprietary breakdowns allows them to add fillers and **** anyway.
you will love it. let us know your feedback once you try white flood :)

Q :
how are you voting for a pre workout when you've never used any of them?
A: He of course relies on the marketing team to get them facts!
As for me
I've been sampling a lot of pre-workout product...I'll some up all of my testing in one big review soon enough but the ones that I really liked are up to now (I am probably forgetting one):
White Flood (possibly getting some nasty sides of it as I was persuaded weights in the gym were significantly smaller than usual)

NO shotgun V3 is the best in my opinion. Only prework out with 20 grams of protein added, plenty of aminos, creatine, and gives excellent pump and energy for a full work out.

for me its been hard to find a pre-workout supplement that gives me a great pump without bothering my stomach. As of now I've tried superpump 250, no-xplode, and supercharge. I think the no-xplode gave me the best pump, but made me feel really full and bloated (try working out abs like that), the superpump is what I'm on right now, and its just tearing my stomach up. Supercharge didn't bother my stomach and was the best tasting of the three, but I didn't feel a pump as well after the first couple times I took it.
So i guess I'll just keep searching for the right one- I'm gonna try shotgun or white flood next i guess

So, I am back and replying once again about White Flood. I have used numerous NO's products, and I must say, White Flood after 1 1/2 wks use, is STILL kicking for me. NO explode after a very short time i got used to it, and my body stopped reacting, and NANO Vapor, after ONE night, i didn't feel anything. White Flood i have taken 2 scoops 15 mins before workout every time (i work out 6 days a weeek) and it has been 1 1/2 wks and it is STILL going strong. I am very impressed, and nonetheless, the beta-alanine is still flowing. Tingling yes, not as much as first couple of days. But the main thing that i love about WF is the focus/energy/stamina levels of my workouts. It has given me 150% of each of those categories from start to finish. No other product has given me that kind of results. I thank you Controlled Labs for supplying us this product, keep up the good work.

First off, aminos are absolutely essential both pre- and post- workout. it doesn't hurt to have it in there, it will only help you. if you're writing off a pre-workout supplement just because it contains aminos, there's something very wrong there.
Im writing it off because I personally dont believe they are "absolutely essential" If they were "absolutely essential" as you put it, then anyone not using them would be getting no results. The anabolic window training period **** is a load of crap, aminos super dosed over the course of a day have shown results. Please educate me where it has been shown that aminos are "absolutely essential" pre/during workout, im pretty sure the meal I eat before I train does the job just fine....
Also, as much as I agree with you about the whole "proprietary blend" fiasco, you do have to understand that when a company gets to a certain size, it just makes a whole lot more sense for them, cost-wise, to manufacture certain products using a proprietary blend... in SOME things. yes it's realistically not the best way of doing things from a customer's point of view, but if you're a manufacturer these are certain decisions that they have to make in order to streamline production and bring down costs to customers.
How so? How does not informing us on the exact quantities of what we're paying for help keep the costs down? The reason you do it is so you can put less of the expensive material in there and bolster the proprietary blend with less expensive ingredient. Again, educate me to believe your claim? That bull**** wouldnt fly in Australia, the FDA needs to pull its neck out and get with it. Companies in Australia are forced to list products in order of ingredient percentage.
the best way of shopping for supplements is to go with a REPUTABLE COMPANY. for example - if you buy from BSN, as much as you might like NO-XPLODE, I'm sure you know about the lawsuits by now. I believe their label claims about as much as I believe the solicitor at my door trying to sell me life insurance. so you can pretty much throw their product, and their proprietary blend, out the window. there are definitely companies out there that do use proprietary blends in some of their products, that are also reputable and trustworthy.
Bull****. Why would any one company be more reputable than another? They all have the same process, sell product make money. Supplements arent a charity, no ones selling that **** for the love of the sport.
Its stupid in heinsight to be so picky about such small **** as supplements, but when you're spending hundreds on them each month its worth taking note of what youre paying for.

Free form aminos pre and during are very effective at keeping muscle tissues from catabolising.
The FDA is a drain on all of America. They do what is in the interest of there pocket book.
Proprietary blends hinder copy cats and protect formulas in an industry that is full of similar products.
Some supplement companies are more reputable then others, just as any other type of business. A good way to tell is to see if the company gives out free samples and or cheap sample packs. If they are confident that their product is effective they will usually send you a sample or two to try.

K so i just spent like 15 minutes typing up this big long response, and when i hit post it gave me like a server timed out or some gay crap like that. just my luck.
in short, tried no xplode, tried superpump, tried black powder, and am now on Armageddon, by Starchem Labs. if you're going to try it, DON'T GET THE GRAY BOTTLE. get the black one, it's the newer revamped product, doesn't taste like **** :D the rest of my post talked about reading about what the stuff in all these NO products actually do. most of your "focus" comes from caffeine and vitamin B12. for a solid pump, you need about 3.5-5 grams of L Arginine alpha ketoglutarate, and a little under a thousand mg of Beta Alanine, and some other 'stuff' (proprietary blend) of enzymes that help in the synthase process (converting the arginine to nitric oxide). beta alanin's key role isn't vasodilation though, which is what a lot of people think, or they don't even know what it is used for. it's used to put carnosine into your muscles, which increases the PH+ level and decrease the acidity levels. Giving you more time to workout and not feel fatigued. in order to achieve this, you need to be on a laoding phase, 6 G/Day, spread out over 3 times (2 G 3 times a day), for 21-28 days (clinicaly tested). after that, 4 grams/day, keep on it for at LEAST 12 weeks. that's where you'll start noticing big strength gains in the 7-15 rep range, and an increased anaerobic threshold of up to 15% (point where acid builds up too much for your body to get rid of it itself). you DON'T have to cycle Beta Alanine. it's primary function is NOT to promote vasodilation. if you're lookin for strength gains in the 1-7 rep range, take creatine. taken both together? a study showed that men who took them together gained 5kg of muscle in 10 weeks.
one of the main sources of this knowledge is in the following:
http://performancenutritionshow.com/pastshows/06_0628.html
http://www.betaalanine.info/
http://performancenutritionshow.com/pastshows/08_0713.html
if you have any questions, or would like to discuss, don't be a *** and start attacking/hating. i'm always up for education/reeducation.

oh and as for reputable companies, i ordered the gray bottle of armageddon, called and told them it tasted like puke, and asked if that's how their products are supposed to taste, and they are sending me a replacement tub, with the new product, within the next 3 days. WAY good customer service. i think it might have been that i bought it from a private seller on amazon, could have been why the texture was so effed up, and it tasted like garbage. either way, they came through. not a bunch of money thirsty dogs.

Preworkout supplements seem to have a minimal effect on me for the most part, and I have never really tried any of them too extensively. I've really only sampled them for a few workouts or a sample or two.
So far I have tried:
NO Shotgun v3
NO Explode
White Flood Tablets Sample
Cytonox
Jacked
ON's Vassive NO
None of these worked for me at all. NO Explode gave me the occasional good lift but also the occasional horrible bathroom session. Surprisingly, Cytonox actually worked well for me despite it being a muscletech manufactured product. I plan on picking up a bottle to see how it really is.
I plan on trying these very soon:
SuperPump 250
Black Powder
White Flood Powder
Superpump gets really good reviews all the time and so does White Flood Powder. Granted, the tablets I took did absolutely nothing for me which was strange. But since everybody jocks Controlled Labs so much around here I'm willing to pick up some of the powder and see what's up.
Could my minimal effects be because I have not taken these products for weeks at a time?

How old I must be to use supplements ?
i'm no doctor, and i tried to find info on using arginine based products at a young age. couldn't find anything. I do know though, that if you want to start on a beta alanine supplement, it's completely safe for teens. one of the reasons being, is that you can get a normal dose of beta alanine from eating 4 pounds of chicken a day. nobody wants to do that, so they would rather just take a supp. hope this helps

04-03-2009, 02:08 PM
These days the market is saturated with preworkout pump amplifying and energy supplements. I've tried a variety with good results from each, keep in mind each has its own formula which benefits differently from one another, and in my experience each person's results will vary. Here's my take:
No Shotgun: 8/10, no crash and easy on my stomach, good blend of ingredients.
Full Blown Extreme: 7/10, this stuff was too powerful for me, it amp'd me up too high. This is hard core with lots of caffeine.
NO Xplode: 8.5/10, very even and consistent, good pump. This one is always a repeat purchase.
Fast Twitch: 9/10, this is one of my favorites, it provides an endo-thermogenic effect while amplifying nitric oxide levels. Good Stuff, my mainstay....
Superpump 250: 8.5/10 great stuff, follow-up with postworkout Sizeon for maximum results.
Gakic: 7/10, the arginine and xanthinol nicotinate (caffeine) will get you going, you will feel stronger and less fatigued.
I would like to try White Flood, based upon your reviews, it will be my next purchase. Let me know what you think, Joe650

nalder- I'll chime in here about the Armageddon. I bought a clearance container from a reputable supplement chain (they were not going to be carrying it anymore) and I will tell you the effects were intense. Probably the best on the pre-workout supps I've tried. You're right, the taste was borderline nasty, I had the orange flavor. BUT, when I tried ordering some online, they had changed the color of the powder and I'm assuming the formula too, because the second batch didn't do a damn thing except taste bad.
I didn't know how much I missed my Myogenix Hypershock though until I went off it for several weeks...now that I've weened myself off of it, I seem to be doing pretty good intensity-wise just using some caffeine and some fruit before my workouts. I do miss how the Hypershock kinda gave me that "Superman" feeling all day long though...

Did you go down from 2 scoops from the old stuff to just one with the new stuff or something? that's wierd that you got less of a reaction from the new stuff. it's supposed to be in a black bottle, is that the stuff you used? oh, and i called about the free tub, he said he has to talk to his boss about getting it for me. i'm guessing he's going to come back and say that his boss said no. i'm also gonna try two scoops of the nasty stuff tomorrow. if i can get it down and not puke it all up.

MyoGenix Hyper SHock - Gave me the craziest pumps I've ever had. So bad that it would hurt. Best Energy and focus NO I've ever tried. The 8-hour sustained release NO was dope, but I could not sleep at all with this product ever. Also it gave me the worst acne ever. I was completely clear before this product and it made me break out with the vengeance. Skin became extremely oily from this product. If you're not acne prone and you workout in the am/ early pm. This product is the best hands down.

Stick with Protein and Creatine maybe a good weight gainer such as MHP Up Your Mass and yes beta alanine would be good for you. Look for a creatine that has Beta Alanine added. Other than that an Amino Acid supp would be all you need. Dont go messin with Test boosters and all that.

have you or anyone else tried armageddon yet? supposedly you don't have to cycle it, but we'll see. i effed up this morning. took two scoops at 5, and at 5:30 was leavin for the gym and realized they didn't open until 8!! so i hurried and called lifetime fitness half hour away, got them to let me in for free just once, but it took me another half hour to get there. i was buggin out yo! shakin in the car, part in due to the cold weather, but still. by the time i got to the gym it's peak had worn off. pissed the hell outa me. might try it again monday or tuesday, when i can actually get to the gym on time and use us it. although, the 360 mg of caffeine with two scoops is pretty intense, and i've been peein all day. not to mention mad squirts. outed like at least a cups worth in half a second. HAHA overshare!!
oh, and just so everyone knows, only thing the squirts come from is a large caffeine intake. some NO products have more in them than others, which is why some give you the squirts and some don't. caffeine is a natural diahretic, or however you spell that word :P

AST's Anabolic Rush still worked the best for me as far as strength, endurance, and nitric oxide production goes.
STR: 9/10
NO: 9/10
STA:10/10
Im just about finished with CL's White Flood and PW pre-workout stack, it worked more like a thermogenic for me, no pumps, but hey... it got the job done I suppose... or at least the food did throughout the week.
STR: 8/10
NO: 7.5/10
STA: 8/10
I've also tried SP250 and and Super Charge, both of which did nothing for me.
STR/NO/STA: Well, lets not go there.... considering they did nothing.
Recently tried a couple samples of Universal's ST, tastes amazing, EXTREMELY easy on the stomach, but did not feel much strength, mental, stamina, nor nitric oxide.
STR: 7/10
NO: 6/10
STA: 7/10
Going to try USP's Jacked before I go back onto Anabolic Rush, and post back on my reviews on that product.

Im my third tub of 4 Nitro and am still having awesome results. Killer pumps, killer workouts, crazy vasodialation and amazing energy. Give it a shot, its on 3 for the price of 2 right now.

The best pumps came from SP250, but it tore my stomach up. My favorite overall would have to be the White Flood just cause it is pretty consistent and have great stamina during my workouts.
White Flood. Gives me great focus and strength not to mention you get tons of servings per container.
wow, glad to hear it guys, thanks for voting white flood #1 :)

I have tried alot of supplements, the preworkout products I have tried are no-xplode, shock therapy, nano vapor, and whiteflood and If I had to rate them overall it would go
1 whiteflood
2 shocktherapy
3nano vapor (crazy pumps)
4no-xplode (too much of a crash)

looking to try some white flood, but do you guys find it hard not to take these supplements after you've tried them? hard to cycle off them? is it like **** i need to buy that stuff again?

I look at them as improving every workout, and at the end of the year ( so to speak) I will have gained more strength and or muscle than without them.
I think the hardest part to cycle off of is the pre-workouts that are higher in stims. I usually only use them on workout days to combat this, but I do tend to take in caffiene from multiple placs anyway. From Dark Chocalate to coffee to weightloss/enery supps.
As long as I stay loaded on creatine I have never really lost any gains, and or dropped in strength, but I have been using Kre-alkalyn exclusively for a year now. CEE for 3 years prior to that, and then 7 years of Monohydrate use.

So are there any pre-workout drinks that aren't loaded with artificial colors and artificial sweeteners? Or do I have to try to make my own? All three of the ones listed above are loaded with artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners.

If you want something with power and without the stims, try Animal Pump. All you need to do is take out the red stimulant pill from a pack and rock on. It's a terrific option for those re-sensitizing to stims as well.

Do you have to cycle off white flood?
I have been taking No Xplode and it worked, but i mean just like previous posters have said the crash is rough and by the end of the cycle you are loading up on 3 scoops and the crashes get worse it seems.
It looks like good reviews of white flood and it doesn't seem to have creatine in it? I am currently taking monohydrate post workout and don't feel like combining 2 creatine products...still taking it easy.
Anyways been reading product descriptions and what not and most things will actually say to cycle off, but white flood doesn't.

I too would like to find one that isn't loaded with artificial bull**** colors and flavors.
I think it is ironic people who are supposedly into health and fitness consume VAST amounts of HFCS and ASPARTAME... esp when the HFCS has amounts of mercury in it.

Hey Controlled Labs. I have already gone through a whole tub of White Flood, and I am also using the Green Mag. Today I went and bought the large (1.something lb) tub of White Flood. I noticed that when I opened the container that it was very clumped up. I'm sure the larger tubs sit on the shelves for longer than the smaller ones. Problem is I am drinking the white flood now, about two scoops as recommended and it's tasting very bitter. I don't remember this from the first tub of Flood that i had. From what I remember the Flood tasted great, just like any of your products that i've tried. The Expiration date isn't until like 2011. It's just like a weird bitter aftertaste. Should I take it back and get another one ? I just got done with some N.O. Shotgun and decided to go back to White Flood !! Why's it tasting weird : ( !
Thanks

Rofl you are taking a pre w/o supplement and worrying about the artificial sweeteners? Have you looked at the ingrediants in some of these pre workouts? Some of this stuff is known rat poision, insomnia treatment, and other ingrediants. Anyway, if you are THAT concerned about artificial sweetening, even though you are willing to take this other stuff, stay away from any with aspartame. Pre w/o's in pill form, even if they have sweeteners, will hold little amounts. As of now, sucralose is safer than aspartame

I was wondering the real differences between the two products: Cellucor M5 Extreme and MRI Black Powder. I didn't know if they could be taken together for a real result difference or if you could use one and be just fine. At the moment I have the Cellucor and use that but I was thinking about picking up some Black Powder from GNC as well as it's buy one get one on their website with free shipping ha and i've been wanting to try it out.

Braydub I am with ya man I can't figure it out either, except with supplements like No Xplode and shotgun where you are getting creatine in them as well...by taking it daily you keep your creatine storage in your body stacked so you always are at a maintence level...that would be why with those. As far as the ones without creatine I don't know either, I am new as well so I would like to find as well.
Also just recieved White flood today, pretty impressed. I ran out of no xplode and wanted to try something different. Saw on here that White Flood was consistently being voted top so I tried.
My review:
Pretty good. I took it in the most terrible of conditions to try out a product for the first time. Basically huge drinking night last night, stayed up till like 5 in the morn got up and wanted to get a work out in. Popped a protein shake, and then took 2 scoops of white flood. So far so good. No crash, no real jitters like no xplode a good amount of focus but not too much...
all in all I liked it will try and post more as i use it in better environments

I've taken other pre-workouts such as NO Xplode, shock therapy, supercharge xtreme, superpump 250, no shotgun, white flood, and fast twitch. I have to say the energy is about equal compared to the others, but the pumps are amazing.I also like the fact it's only 2 pills you have to take instead of a shake.

Hey everyone!
Well I've been looking for a good N.O. to use and I've come down to trying either White Flood or N.O. Shotgun v3. I am currently in my "cutting" phase and was wondering if including a N.O. supplement would be beneficial. I understand the affects and the reasoning for the use of a N.O. product but what I am trying to avoid is any unnecessary bloating or water retention. Any advice or recommendations would be great!
Thanks!

I have tried a couple of these NO products listed above. First I've tried MRI NO2, just the regular stuff when it first came out. I had great pumps, but nothing special focus or energy wise.
Next up for me was BSN NO-Xplode. I didn't really have great pumps. I had energy through the roof for about an hour, and then crashed with a huge headache, probably do to a ridiculous amount of caffeine.
Next I tried Gaspari Superpump 250. I had great focus, great energy, and really really good pumps, but the nickname "Superdump", didn't come from nowhere. It was gross, but worked great.
I then tried NaNoX9, and this one just didn't do anything really good for me. It worked but mildy to say the least, which is ridiculous considering how overpriced Muscletech products are.
I am currently on White Flood. Focus wise, this is the best supplement I have taken. Pump wise it is not great, but I can feel it. Also if I take this past 3 in the afternoon, I workout at about that time, I am restless when trying to sleep. Pricewise, it cannot be beat.
I have also tried a sample of Shock Therapy, and had great energy and focus, but pumps were not as great as others. I would compare it with White Flood.
Out of all the ones I've tried over the years, I would purchase WF, SP250(maybe if I need a cleansing), and Shock Therapy. I think all three of those companies are credible and legit.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Animal.
Great thing about Animal Pump is you do not need to buy a separate creatine product. Also you have the option of taking the stims or leaving them out. This is a HUGE plus that no other product offers.

Animal Pump has perhaps been my best friend in my journey...
so far ive tried:
NO2 hemodilator- Was very impressive back in the day, nice pumps. huge pills.
NO xplode- (waste of money, overpriced and I quickly became immune to it)
CL NO- Felt like it was waste of money as it did nothing for me as far as energy nor focus and the pumps were modest.
NO shotgun - Bigger pumps and energy but I prefered the previous version and its horrible taste as the current version does not sit well with my stomach and often causes lightheadiness and fatigue after my workouts. love the 20g of protein and creatine infused in the product.
Gaspari SP 250- Ive only tried the sample packs that BB.com sends me but the energy is decent.
Animal Pump- Smooth controlled energy throughout my workout, excellent pumps and gave me energy afterwards to continue on with my day. The fact that you can take these bada** paks anytime, anywhere and you do not have to cycle on/off is sweet. The fact that its a creatine product as well sits nice with my budget. The only concern I had is that from a focus standpoint I could not tell a difference, but still great.
Not to mention AP buy 2 get 1 free promo right now.
ANIMAL PUMP GETS MY MONEY RIGHT NOW.

Hands down Shock Therapy. You get 50 servings for only $31.89 :eek:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/univ/shock.html
For price/taste/results it can't be beat
I think im going to opt for the shock therapy for now as $$ is a concern and im running out of AP. BUt I look forward to trying out a new kick a** product from universal.

I just got done with Vasocharge from Scivation and I love it. I have used an entire tub and only used 1 scoop before workouts and I can feel it all day. Its cheap and you get about 30 servings. I have taken NO explode after a few weeks I had to increase the servings to get the same pump. I thought NO Vapor was a waste of money.

barook I sometimes have felt like that but most of the time when i cycle off of my NO and creatine I take an energy drink before my workout works good!

I like NO Shotgun. great focus, pumps, and energy but i do notice a bit of a crash but i work out in the evening so its not too bad. Vapor tastes like paint thinner with some kool-aid added and it really upset my stomach

I haven't tried the tabs yet. But i may give them a shot when i'm done with my WF tub. Is it the same amount of servings in tab form also?
If youre talking white flood tabs then no you dont get as many workouts per container and apparently it does not hit you as hard as white flood powder

I have tried most of the products listed on this page. Here is the real question for you guys:
Out of all the pre-workout boosters, which is best for a guy on a tight budget?
Thanks.
White Flood or Shock Therapy. Best bang for the buck definitely.

whats the difference btwn Shock Therapy and Pump?
Im currently taking Cuts with this be beneficial with my cutting stage?
Also BB.com's store is promoting the animal cuts and animal stak as a combo deal, is this worth it?
Just trying to figure out my list of priorities on a budget.

Shock Therapy is a drink and Animal Pump is capsules/tablets. Both are pre-workout formulas. Shock Therapy has more of a "kick" to it whereas Animal Pump is more of a steady energy. Also with Pump you have the option to leave out the stims (all contained in a single red pill) if you like.
If you are already taking Cuts I would suggest Animal Pump out of the two since you can leave out the stims. Cuts provides plenty of stims and you don't want to overdo it.
Cuts/Stak combo is good for cutting as the Cuts will get your metabolism going and burning more calories where Stak will help keep your hormone levels up which usually dip when dieting/taking in minimal calories. Older guys tend to respond better to Stak so take your age into consideration.

thanks guys. But how is the crash? Because im still in school and after school i go right to the gym. After the gym I always have papers, hw, and what ever else is that is assigned due next day. So I dont want to go home and pass out, but I do want something for a more intense workout.

^this
I swear - no matter how tired I am or what type of mood I'm in, 15 minutes after I down my Vasocharge, I'm ready to kill the weights. Always get killer pumps during workouts as well. Can't say whether that's due to the supps or the program or both, though.

no xplode is so far my favorite. nano vapor also worked well but taste horrible. a friend is trying to get me to try no plasmacore. anybody had any luck with this.
Compare with the ingredients in Vapor as Muscle tech makes both of these products (well acually the head company makes both, but you get the idea).
Give 4-Nitro a try. 29.99 for 40 servings (or 60 for 120 on special). It may not have a mile long ingredient list but it does pack potency.
What do you guys think of my stack?
Pre-Workout: White Flood + Green Mag
During Workout: Purple Wrath (People still using this stuff?)
After-Workout: Optimum Nutrition Protein.
Question about the Optimum Nutrition Protein, is this a good choice of protein? cause i still want to cut weight and from my understanding there are some that have a lot of carbs to gain weight and there is lo carbs one. Can someone direct me to the right one?
thank you.

After trying it for about a week, I love horse power over anything I've tried in the past. The orange was intense flavor but very good and I got fantastic pumps from it. The tingle I'm actually a fan of because I like to know that stuff is working in my body.
k so im leaning so much towards white flood
i got 50$ and im running out of no xplode(3 scoops left lol)
no xplode was okay but idk just not feeling it anymore
can someone clinch me on the decision to get white flood

just had Superpump250 and 1 scoop of it gave me a huge pump today in the gym compared to whack black powder
So far I've tried NO Explode, Black Powder, Nano Vapour, and SuperPump250 and heres how I rate them
1. Superpump250....great pump and a lot of energy/focus
2. NO Explode....was my first one so of course it worked but I liked the pump and energy also
3. Nano Vapour....gave some pump and energy but also gave me the jitters
4. Black Powder.....feel nothing except a little energy boost
My friend says FastTwitch from cytosport is amazing but IDK

Danger... I have never had a "crash" with WF. I've even taken it late in the afternoon, still no crash. No jitters etc either. Might wanna test it out . Try 1 scoop first. See how you feel. I use 2 scoops myself. Without an issue.

White Flood was great.........i got no crashes on it. Real clean feeling energy, dunno if that makes sense. Ill say this i didnt get a really a pump with it like say i did with SuperPump250 but the energy and strength was there. It was like great Focus and Power.
Let me try and make myself more clear.........ok like with superpump250 i felt AMPED..............like with WF i just felt relaxed and focus.......honestly i didnt even feel energized but when i got under some weight i felt super focused and i surprised myself with how much i could go and also put up.
hope i kind made of made myself clear.........sorry if i didnt. btw i was only doing 1 scoop.......i never did more than 1 scoop each use. im 200lbs 6'1"
