Nos-ether**jakkrk's Trip In A Diesel**

[jakkrk]

RECIEVED MY NO-ETHER LAST NIGHT AND WILL START MY PRE-LOADING THIS EVENING...NO REASON TO WAIT.

Some info about me:
Around 170lbs.
Diet: 2000-2500 daily (mostly clean..about 40-40-20)
H2O Intake:1-2 Gallons daily
Height: 65"
Experience: Lifting since 04
Supplements while on log: NOS-ETHER.
(I don't count protein or other vitamins as supplements being added, as we all take these)

What I expect from NOS-ETHER...STRENGTH GAINS. Plain and simple. I have recently hit my PR on almost all my lifts. Looking for more :)

Lifts I will be keeping track of (mostly) in this log but am giving it my all overall:
Db Incline Bench Presses: PR 2 sets of 90x8
Standing (straight) BB curls: PR 80x4
Db Shoulder Presses (seated): PR 80x4

I lift a minimum of 5 days per week more if I can get it in...cardio daily when lifting..Off days (when I get them) are total off days.

[jakkrk]

My routine is like this

M-CHEST
T-BACK
W-LEGS
TH-SHOULDERS/TRAPS
FRI-ARMS
SAT-SHOULDERS/TRAPS
SUN-LEGS

With sat and sun being maybe's if I have the time but M-F is a definite.
15 min cardio after each workout session...ALSO...I workout at 5am..if that matters to anyone.

Taste---very good...have tasted alot worse.
Mixed ok in a shaker with 10oz. tap water. Didn't notice any resedo(sp).

Oh yeah...btw...I would like to that Chuck AND Diesel Nutrition for this opportunity for my opinion on this product.

[jakkrk]

Is complete as of this morning !!!

Can't wait to start using this as a pre-workout sup.

I will be taking the NOS-ETHER roughly 45 minutes before my workouts at 4:15am on an empty stomach.

So far all I can tell you is about he taste...no bad.
No stomach issues and I haven't noticed any bloating. It does foam up a bit in the shaker but nothing to bad.

I mix mine in 10oz. of cold tap water.

[jakkrk]

Now that the reverse loading is over, this morning I had 2 scoops in 10 oz tap water around 4:15am..and hit the gym at 5am.

Starting off with Hammer Strength Deads.

90 x 12 (2 sets)
180 x 12 (2 sets)
270 x 8 (2 sets)
180 x 12 (2 sets)
90 x 10 (1 sets)

Seated rows (v-grip) supersetted with Hammer strength Lat machine.
rows (plate #10) x 10// Lats 90 x 12
rows (plate #11) x 10// Lats 140 x 10
rows (plate #12) x 8/// Lats 160 x 8

Now I take my 1 scoop post workout of NOS-ETHER then I do 15 minutes cardio.


To early to tell about effects, strength wise but I have yet experienced any stomach issues or bloating. No excess gas after taking it either. (burps)

Taste and mixibility is ok.
Mental focus...pending

[jakkrk]

4:15 comes pretty early in the morning and sometime Im just not in the mood (like today). Still I pressed on....

Took my 2 scoops at 4:15 upon waking on an empty stomach. Hit the gym at 5.(boy that sounds familiar)

Started with Db shoulder presses..
50x8
55x8
65x7
70x7
45x8
40x8

All motions where SLOW AND CONTROLLED. Then Hammer Strength shoulder presses...

90x8<--45 each side
160x8<--45+35 each side
210x8<--45+35+25 each side
160x8
90x8

also hit the rear delts on the cable x-over machine.

I have a good base to go by and right now I am just starting with it since it is only the first couple of days.

At 4:15, it seem it is really hard to tell what is good mental focus and me just waking up..I REALLY didn't feel like lifting today, maybe the reason for lower reps (who knows)..I finished my sets and did my cardio nonetheless so I guess there was a little drive there.

[CHUCK DIESEL]

[jakkrk]

Like I said, I felt REALLY GOOD this morning. Looked forward to this workout. Family was out of town so I got some good sleep in. I was ready to go at 4:15 this morning.

Taste is ok. I do notice that when you use a shaker to mix, it produces a little gas (not bad) so watch removing the lid.
Got a good pump this morning and I seem to be a little more alert than normal, even now.

Can't wait to see what week 2 brings!

15 min of cardio after the workout on a bike..went for 4 miles. Up a mile for last week in the same time frame. So my endurance is kicking in also.

Thoughts after 15 days (about half way)..My strength is increasing and my recovering time is decreasing. UNLESS I really push the workout..I still felt Mondays chest workout until yesterday and Wednesday legs until Friday. Normally, I feel it from a couple of days after the workout.

Not sure about muscle size. (didn't measure). My intensity and focus is right where it needs to be. I am focused at the task at hand and NOT thinking about anything else.

[jakkrk]

So far I have hit PR's on most of my lifts this cycle of NOS-ETHER. A little tweaking in other areas of my routine and I could see great things here.

[jakkrk]

No workouts for the past 3 days. A lot of work on the weekends.

I did plan on it Friday. Took my 2 scoops at 3am, was PLANNING on a evening workout. Planning being the operative word in the sentence. I get home and the wife says we have to do some shopping and I have to go.

Sat and Sun was just long days of work.

I do plan on hitting the gym this evening.

[jakkrk]

Did an evening workout last yesterday.

Took 2 scoops of NOS-ETHER at 3pm BUT I didn't acutally hit the weights until 4:30pm. I used a workout partner last night cuz I wanted to go heavy and he was running a little late.

I started with 3 sets incline Db presses, which turned out to be a warmup.
60x8
70x8
80x8
............
WO partner shows up about 4:45 and wants to start with flat Db presses.
Started with:
50x10
60x10
70x10
80x8
90x5
100x3
80x6
60x10
NOT USED TO THIS TYPE OUT ROUTINE...Next went(for me BACK) to Incline Db Presses:
50x10
60x10
70x8
80x8
90x6
75x8
65x8
55x10

Finished off with some Nautiluas(sp) flat bench presses and Peck Deck movements.
Went heavy for the flat presses (up to plate #17) then back down.
Peck Deck was moderate weight for a GOOD stretch.

Went home a took my 1 scoop post workout NOS-ETHER. I sure hope it helps with my recovery cuz I am going to be sore the next couple of days.: )

[jakkrk]

Today is Day #25 on NOS-ETHER.

Did another evening workout, so I took my 2 scoops pre workout at 3pm and hit the gym at 4pm. That is when I starting lifting. No partner tonite. Flying solo.

Felt like something new, so I worked shoulders only tonite.

Started with 2 sets of Db shoulder presses for a warmup
45x10
50x10

Then I went straight to the Hammer Strength Shoulder Press.
160x10
210x8
220x8

Love this stuff.

I WILL run another tub. Will have to wait until Sept. though but it WILL happen.

Thanks Chuck..I believe this is what I was looking for.

[jakkrk]

Been out of NOS-ETHER for a few days now. Just haven't been able to get online.

Took my last doses of NOS-ETHER on Friday and did an all out full body blast.

Only "bad' I can think of is that I have to take it an hour per workout. A lot can change in a hour that I think I am headed to the gym. Other than that..Can think of anything else.


A big THUMBS UP from me.

[CHUCK DIESEL]

Thanks for the full review. Can you compare NOS ETHER to other creatine/no or just creatine cell volumizers you have used?

[jakkrk]

Thanks for the full review. Can you compare NOS ETHER to other creatine/no or just creatine cell volumizers you have used?

Past products I have used, from what I can remember. NO XPLODE...WTF PUMP'D...VASOCHARGE..NO MONSTER..CELLMASS.

A comparision of the NOS-ETHER to the above is as follows:

To get the same results as NOS-ETHER, you are going to have to stack the CELLMASS and the NO XPLODE, which makes in itself a pricey combo. I haven't used this combo in a while ($$) but from what I remember I did make some decent gain from it but it took twice as much as the NOS-ETHER. ie..about 2 tubs of each of the BSN products compared to the NOS-ETHER. Actually this is the same as with the others as well.

One tub of the NOS-ETHER gave me more gains than a single tub of the other NO products. Thats not to say that I didn't like the others, they have their place.

VASOCHARGE gave a good pump and made me more vascular. Got a tinglleing feeling when I took it too. Could also take it during workouts.
