NOX Surge is unlike any other Nitric Oxide product on the market. This results-driven formulation delivers a powerful rush of performance enhancing ingredients designed to intensify your workouts.

This, combined with energy stimulants, mental focusing agents and essential aminos including BCAAs, makes NOX Surge The Ultimate Workout Experience.

I got the samples yesterday so since yesterday was my upper body day I thought I'd start. I was contemplating on putting it off and starting on Tuesday since I had a rough weekend (tired from lack of sleep/party and diet slacked) but decided to stick with it and I'm glad I did.

200: 10x1
240: 8x2
Cool Down: 80: 8x1 60: 8x1 50: 8x1 30: 8x1

One arm side lateral raises (cable):

40s: 8x2

Side lateral raise machine:

160: 10x1

Variations of ab exercises were done in between every 2 muscle groups.

Stretching: 10 minutes

Comments: Like I mentioned above I felt like crap and was planning on having a short workout. However, I got my sleep, ate, rested, and had 1.5 scoops of NOX Surge on top of my regular caffene and L-arganine. Once I started the workout I felt awakened and got a HUGE pump. First couple sets of chest were OK but when I got to the bigger weights I felt really awake and was able to get my normal weight with ease. The rest of the workout went awesome, I felt VERY awake and never got fatigued. I stayed pumped the entire time, but what surprised me is that I was pumped long after my workout. I was done at around 7 PM and up until the time I went to bed at 12:30 midnight I was still pumped. Whether this is b/c of NOX Surge or just one of those random good workouts, I don't know, but time will tell (willing to wager it was the Surge b/c I was not in the mood before I had it). Looking forward to my workout tomorrow.

Ty, seems to be going pretty well so far.
Cardio day: Ran 3.45 miles (outdoors) in 23:40 minutes after taking 1 scoop of NOX Surge. Got an awsome awsome run. The weather was cool and the air was thin which is great for running. This run was meant to be just jogging but about halfway through I got a burst of energy and sprinted all the way home. After I got home I ate and shortly after I got a nice pump going.
Stretching (directly after cardio): 3 minutes

You think the supp assisted with the burst of energy towards the end of your run?

Haha, it's all good. This was planned to be a slow jog and that's how it started. I guess it was a combination of runners high (it happens all the time just not this intense) and the Surge , but I got a big splash of energy and sprinted pretty much full speed all the way home. It really wasn't even funny how fast I ran past the other people running on the street (not to toot my own horn or anything). I think it did more then assist towards the end of the run. Assisting would mean it helps finish what I started, at this point I went above and beyond...so it definately does its job cardio wise :)

Stretching: 5 minutes

Comments: All I have to say is WOW. I haven't sweat like this in years. Once I got started I was so pumped up, I never took more then a 30 second break in between excercises (which is part of the reason I did low weight in squat, the other reason being my legs were shaky since I had a good cardio day yesterday). The vascularity on my biceps and chest was unbelievable, even though I didn't work on those (deadlift kind of worked them). I can't wait for tomorrow!

Review: I haven't had a chance to fully analyze NOX Surge. So far this seems like an amazing product. To be honest I didn't think it would have that much of an effect on me since on main workout days I take coffe and L-Arganine, but man was I wrong. The first day I had the workout and I was out of it, the main thing it did was give me the extra focus I needed and the pump lasted me for hours until I went to bed. The second "workout" I had on it which was cardio on Monday, once again this gave me great energy during my run..to the point where I kept going faster and faster, and the last 1/2 mile home I was full out sprinting. Leg day last night was amazing as well, I have not trained legs with that intensity in a while. The pump was great, and my legs are not sore today at all, which is another thing I noticed. Last time I trained legs with this intensity (non-stop) I could barely walk the next day, and today I seem perfectly fine.
Tonight is upper body, and I've been good diet and rest wise (somewhat, been getting 6-7 hours of sleep which is a lot better then normal) so today we'll see the full potential. I also plan on trying 2 scoops today.

looks very good. you may want to try 1.5 scoops before going to 2 to find your sweet spot. you want to use the smallest amount that is still very effective for you.

thank you. ok, I'll give 1.5 scoops a try today, it definately seemed to do the job and i guess for now there's no point in increasing.
I also have a question that's been going through my head. on sun/wed i take anywhere between 1.5-3 g of L-Arginine. Should I keep taking this amount? The reason I was wondering this is because I saw NOX-Surge has L-Arginine in it. Is there enough Arginine in Surge that I should lower my normal dosage of it?

depends, what are you using the l-arginine for? NO or general health benefits?

it seems Nox-surge has got a serious arginine based complex. thats probably why we feel the lasting longer pumps. however i still take extra L-arginine/ornithine caps (self-made blend) post-workout for nutrient transport.

just drink a ton of water or youll get headache.

Comments: So I went out to dinner with a few friends before the gym and I didn't think it'd be a big deal since I already had the mix of surge with me and I eat about half an hour before the gym quite often since I stay fairly long.
WHAT A BAD IDEA (at first anyways). Listen to the instructions, NOX Surge is DEFINATELY best taken on a semi-empty stomach. My bench was sub-par.
The only thing that I can think of that caused such a bad result was the full stomach...I've been taking Surge this whole week and have gotten great pumps everyday except for this time.
Anyways, besides bench everything else was awsome. I didn't get a noticable pump until I did shoulders towards the end and it was still OK unlike the other times when it was great.
AFTER the gym however I inflated more then any other time I can remember.

Cardio
Surge Serging: 1 Scoop

Felt like doing something different for a change so I did a Kickboxing cardio session.

Punching bag: 5 rounds with 30 second break each round (3 minute rounds)

Speed bag: uuuh, to be honest lost track of time on this, it was mabye 3 minutes or so?

Jump rope: 7 minutes

Review: I learned my lesson from the last session and I took NOX Surge about 1.5 hours after I hate. WOW! That punching bag didn't stand a chance :) Energy level during this was 10/10 and so was awareness. My punches and jump roping were explosive the entire time (even 5th round).
I didn't notice much of a pump during the workout, but when I was done my vascularity was awsome. Pump on this workout was 10/10. I would definately say that this product is best taken 1 hour+ after eating.
Depending on whether I take today off or not I will do a write-up of NOX Surge (rating in numbers) summarizing the entire week (will do this once a week until it runs out).

Congrats on the PR. The creatine im taking is the same, no eating half an hour before or after which can be a pain cos there really isnt enough time most days of the week. Impressive cardio day too, you gotta video tape that shiznit man :D

Comments: Great quick workout/cardio day. I had the drink about 15 minutes into the workout and 7 minutes into the eliptical (about 30-35 minutes after I had the drink) I got the pump. This time it was a lot better then the time before. I went out afterwards, and the pump once again lasted way beyond the gym.

Besides the normal log, I am going to give a weekly review of NOX Surge based on a few things:

Taste: 9/10. Very good taste, just like fruit punch. The only thing that could be considered a "down side" is the fact that it has to be mixed with a cosiderable amount of water to eliminate the sweet taste which I've had no problem with.

Pump:10/10. The pump on NOX Surge has been amazing to say in the least. There was one time on Wednesday earlier this week as you may recall, where the pump took a while and was less then the average from what I have been getting with the product. However, that was due to food consumption shortly before I drank NOX Surge.

Durability:10/10. The one thing that impressed me about NOX Surge more then the Pump was how long it lasted. This is not your normal NO product where it goes away after 20 minutes. The pump on this product lasted me for hours after my workout which for me is perfect because my workouts, as you probably saw from my logs last a little bit longer then average.

There you have it. First week with NOX Surge, I have been very happy with it so far. Right now I am taking between 1-1.5 scoops and hopefully I won't have to increase dose anytime soon. This weekend I have felt under the weather so today I decided to skip the gym, and I will probably do the same tomorrow. I expect to get back into it on Tuesday for legs.

Comments: Haven't been feeling good lately. The cold that I just passed seems like is coming back.

Yeah, the soreness was not fun. I guess because Friday the leg workout was very intense and on Saturday, the cardio was pretty intense too which definately didn't help the good'ol legs

Comments: Hadn't worked out in almost a week because I had been sick. Sh*t gets depressing after not working out for a while, so I figured what the hell, my next workout's going to be Sunday so might as well go and warm up today so I don't go into it totally cold. Was planned on just Abs/Cardio but I ended up doing some other light exercises to get the blood flowing. During this workout the pump kicked in big time, and I also felt a lot more focused (as focused as I felt the first time I had NOX Surge). Vascularity was also above normal this workout. I think another big factor of these was the fact that 1) I have been getting my rest and 2) I had not eaten in about 3 hours.

Comments: Feels awesome to be back. Tried something different this time. Didn't have any caffeine and only had 500mg of L-arganine. The pump was the same as any other time, I'm guessing because there's a sufficient amount of caffeine and Arginine in Surge. So I guess from now on there will be no need for my pre workout caffene and L-Arginine while I'm taking NOX Surge. The workout was great, (with the exception of my right shoulder bothering me a little bit) got an awesome pump, the concentration was all there.

DAMN! What a workout!! It feels sooo soooo good to be back. The pump in the legs today was outstanding. I was also really focused today, a lot more then usual; as a result of NOX Surge? Vascularity on the legs was also much much better then normal. Progress pics coming after next week's session.

Comments: All in all nice cardio session, lots of energy while running. This is another thing I like about NOX Surge; it's steady energy which is perfect for running. I put on my techno hour long song and had a good time running on the treadmill. This type of running is not for me though, I don't need to run for a long amount of time, as I don't have much fat to burn. I think I'm going to stick to 25 minutes max next time.

Comments: Probably the best workout/pump I've had in a long time. The pump and focus were the best I've gotten in months. Definately the best results I have gotten as of yet from NOX Surge. A big factor in this might be the fact that I had my cheat meals earlier in the day and carb loaded all day long, even though I normally do this on Wed. Another factor could be that I upped the NOX Surge serving by .25. I also had some caffene right before I took the Surge.

Comments: The person I was supposed to be training with today couldn't make it because he got drunk watching the Redskins game (sigh). So, I decided to go lighter weight/higher volume. It was a very good workout, I got a crazy pump from chest and the pullups but it died down a little bit towards the middle, until I did arms where my whole body blew up again. I also did a weird, out of the ordinary, pattern today just to change things up a little bit. For most of the exercises I did a warmup set, a work heavy set, and 3 medium weight sets with very little resting intervals. I had some more things to say about this workout, I just happen to be brain dead right now since I just got back from the gym and I'm munching out.

Yup. One thing I have noticed, and correct me if I'm wrong as this may be the placebo effect since I know exactly what dosages I'm taking, I don't get a much more noticable pump from increasing dosage, just longer lasting effect.

Comments: Workout was ok...working out with things on your mind is horrible. I'm good at leaving this behind when I enter the gym doors, but this just sucked...A little background on what happened (I'll keep it short b/c I don't want to bore anybody):
Here's what my life consists of right now (I'll just say it now since it is my journal nad I haven't given that much background on my lifestyle):
1) Full time work (USA TODAY)
2) Full time school (just finished semester and got a 3.7 GPA which I'm happy about)
3) Part time work at Lifetime Fitness (As a starting PT)
4) Part time work doing the modeling thing like once a week (even though the past month and a half I've laid off it..until this week because I was bulking)
5) Going out about 3-4x a week (not drinking everytime of course but still partying)
So with that being said I have a very busy lifestyle which leaves very little time for relationships. The past 2 years I've been good at staying out of them and just getting what I need (trying to say that without sounding bad...). Well the past month I met a girl who I really started feeling for. I warned her of my lifestyle and she said she had no problem with me being so busy. Everything was going well, I was doing great at work, results from gym were great, I finished school with a high GPA, and I was in a good relationship. Come this past week (Sunday morning before workout) we got in an argument because I don't give her enough time. I had my workout Sunday with things on my mind which didn't go TOO great (still went ok-so so). Monday it was legs day and she called me (we were still pissed off at each other) asking to talk. I said I was going to the gym and that I'd be back in an hour and a half, and she flipped out. At this point I was in a very bad mood still from Sunday and I flipped out and broke things off..right before the gym.
So yesterday sucked, I feel like I was selfish but at the same time I don't. I guess that's what I get for trying to be in a relationship when I'm at the busiest point in my life. Right now sucks but I think part of the reason I'm so down about this is because this was the first girl I really cared about in a long time and it has to end because of time managment (she blames the gym)..Now I'm waiting to get off work, pop a tyrosine and go running for a few miles to get my mind off things.
