I loved Animal Pump, and I can't understand why it isn't listed with the top 3.

I have tried NO-Xplode, NO Shotgun, Animal Pump, and I will be trying White Flood next.

Xplode= Great at first, but affects you less relatively quickly, and it has way too much crap in it, not to mention the smelly piss/farts and toll on stomach.

Shotgun= Great focus, i like the pumps, but the tast is ridiculous, and I can't help but feel sick on this stuff.

Animal Pump (which comes in pills, btw) = Best overal everything, and I didn't have any restroom problems with this one. so far, my favorite.

Heard great things about WF, so I'll let you know how that works.



of tried products.
Animal Pump = 9.5/10
Shotgun = 8/10
Xplode = 7.5/10

Thanks for this disturbing image.

I have only used naNO vapor and NO-explode. Of the two I definitely like naNO a loooot more! I am going to start a controlled labs stack in a week, and will be using White Flood as my new pre workout, we'll see!

I have only tried Superpump250 and N.O Xplode..
I needed two scoops of superpump to even feel anything.. SUCKSS!!
N.O was good from the very start..

I have also tried stacking Xplode with BSN Nitrix.. works great in combo if you have the money $$

[gabecamp]

NO explode and nitrix is an awesome stack. I have been and always will be a no explode fan. You do kinda get used to it though after awhile but, your body gets used to just about everything after awhile. You should always cycle off your pre-workout prod every 3 mo. for at least a month so that doesn't happen. When I cycle off is when I try diff. prods.. YEAH BUDDY!!!!!!!!

[wrestlercory]

ugh....

did i mention that shotgun tastes like (dirty stripper) assh*le?

(more servings) I usually feel tingles within under 20 mins, but I don't get the full effect from it until about 45-60 minutes later.

It gives me great energy, and really helps me focus on getting the workout done. The pumps seem to hit me about half way through the workout each time. Out of no where I just get this second wind, and am able to work a lot harder than I really expect. Like I'll be struggling with one set, then the very next set of the same exercise I'll go through it with ease, and continue my workout like that.

I've found that I like to mix this stuff with a bit of gatorade and water. One heaping scoop with about 8 oz's gatorade and 10 oz's water. Tastes great. Oh yea it's the red gatorade.

awesome to hear your enjoying white flood

looking forward to what you two think of white flood, please post up feedback when you get a chance to try it out

[CompetitiveGain]

white flood powder works great for me. Im on my second tub and i still feel the effects. The Flood pills didnt do much for me on the other hand.

superpump250 gives great pumps but takes a while to kick in and can leave you up for a while if you work out at night.

NO xplode has given everyone i have talked to the squirts and dies out over a period of time... At first it does give you a " cracked out" jitter feeling and huge pumps but you tolerate it quickly.

As of now white flood takes my vote but i'm still waiting to see if i build a high tolerance for it.

(2 of my workout buddies said they have)

Many effective pre-workout ingredients naturally have a nasty tase which is why many taste bad that actually work... if you're looking for something effective without the taste and the ability to dose as needed with staggered dosing, etc... try PreSurge which is a capsule pre-workout.

Just purchased some White Flood for $36.99 will be trying it out today.

Should I try it on an empty stomach?

[SuperStudlyDave]

I have tried no explode, super pump 250, and Juggernaut and my money goes to the juggernaut. although i think there has been a change in the formula between my first and last jug of it.

I wouldn't say empty but definately not on an a full stomach. And it says try one scoop at first. But I assessed my tolerance with 2 and tapered down to where I felt I got to most benefit without wasting.

nice price. take it with a small carb meal like a rice cake or granola bar

[JC-orginalbdass]

I think it's clear how I feel about this...

[InclineVet]

A couple of scoops of Superpump 250 on my training days is working wonders for me right about now. Solid.

[peppernuts]

NO Explode ratings. out of 10

energey-focus (9) .....
Pumps-vascularity (9)
endurance (10)
Taste (Rasberry blue) (7.5)
mixability (9)

SUPER PUMP ratings

energey-focus(6) endurance (7)
Pumps-vascularity(5) Taste (GRAPE) (10)

[hillt3000]

I have tried a couple products. I am currently using NaNo Vapor, it works really well for me except that if I use it anytime past 3 or 4 pm I have trouble sleeping. Pretty good pumps, increase in strength and muslce endurance, energy but not that jittery too much red bull type of feeling, the cost is okay around $60 (I bought a couple while it was on a BOGO sale) which lasts me about 3 weeks ( I use 2 scoops pre-workout). I have tried NO explode, it works great for about 35-40 minutes and then tapers off, also it sends me rushing to the ****bowl, price is the same as NaNo Vapor but at GNC there are more often sales for NaNo Vapor (which is right now the product they will try and push on people). Gakic is a ****ing rip-off, I did try it once (worst $80 I ever spent) NO increases in any of my lifts, for all the good it did I might as well of stuffed it up my ass. The product I am probably going to go back to is Ultimate Nutrition Horsepower, it is cheaper than NaNo Vapor ($45-$50), really good pumps, increase in muscle strength and endurance, not any increase in mental focus and energy but I could always supplement it with a cup of coffee or something.

[DEMON X]

I've used: No-Xplode, Nitrix, Fast Twitich RTD, Fast Twitich, Altered State, NO Plasmacore, Super-Pump.

My Top 3:
1. N.O. Plasmacore, just like it says on the container "the hardest hitting N.O. Product." I use only one scoop before a workout, and when 15-20 minutes passes, man! it makes me feel like the JUGGERNAUT! no joke! When I use this stuff I notice using alot more weight, alot more energy, focus, stamina. Man this stuff works!

2. Super-Pump, I've used this a couple of times. It's a creeper! You start feeling amazing affects when you start lifting weights. When I use this product I feel really focused and I have a lot more weightlifting stamina. This is my girlfriends absolute favorite NO Product.

3. Fast Twitich, it's comparatively cheap compared to the other NO Products (about 30 bucks). It gets the job done for a good price. Besides getting more energy to fuel your workouts, it helps you recover faster in between sets.

Im not really a fan of pills but nitrix and altered state did the job too. But it just doesnt compare to how I feel when im NO PLasmacore.

[SpeedSixx]

I've tried Nano Vapor and NO Xplode. I would say that NO Xplode worked best for me, eventhough it's true your body adapts quite quickly to it. I increased the dosage to 2 scoops and problem solved, luckily didn't crash that hard afterwards.

Energy was high, pumps were good, andI did increase in strength A LOT!

With Nano Vapor, after about 3 weeks of use, I started getting a bit lightheaded and dizzy at the end of heavy workouts, so I decided to discontinue its use.

Energy and pumps were also great, and I did increase in strength as well.

Taste wise, I actually liked the NOX Fruit Punch much more than Muscletech?s Nano.

I am planning on trying the Controlled Labs (WF, GM, PW) stack, or Gaspari Nutrition (SP250 and Size On) stack, any thoughts guys?

[deozpester91]

id choose iron tech 2 METHYL 13-C pills gives you a extreme boost, when you think you cant do anymore and your about to quite BAM ur doin another set with more wieght.

[k-pick]

I have previously taken No-Xplode, Superpump 250, Horsepower, WTF Pumped

Alright first im a huge fan of No-Xplode it has always done wonders for me and i build up a tolerance to stuff quickly. When i stack it with nitrix u get awesome energy plus ridiculous pumps. And the taste isnt half bad and no stomach problems.

Superpump250 was ok for energy wise taste was not bad but sometimes it didnt mix very well:P id put it in second place.

Horsepower....wow alright this stuff is fu**ed. u get stupid tingly hot energy and weird stomach problems...u cant mix it to save your life and it tastes awful..

WTF Pumped lol a new zealand brand i bought because they outlawed No-Xplode at the moment(im sneaking some in) basically just dont buy this. terrible taste, cant mix it, no energy, no pump.

On a side note, might give White Flood a try since u guys keep ravin about it:P

[slowdubbin68]

got my controlled labs sample packs yesterday, tried out white flood, with purple wraath and green mag, and white flood did it for me, i was so pumped in the gym for the first time in a long time, prolly since football back in high school 4 years ago. and my mind was into it also, very calming, and no tingling like it said on the pack. im ordering some wf right now, just not sure whether i should get tablets or powder, anyone have any opinions ? or does it work the same ?

[conwaylucas]

After running out of BSN NO-Xplode, I ordered some Scivation VasoCharge since I had recently gotten some Xtend.

I tried it last night for the first time and man I can definitely tell the difference. I felt extremely pumped and got through a whole workout without zeroing out.

I still need to see if I build a tolerance to it quickly or not but right now I am quite impressed after one use.

NO Shotgun - Great all around product, would recommend.


These are a 3 way tie for me, with maybe slightly more emphasis on Presurge because its a pill and easier to take.

The pump I get from this is unbelievable... so full, thick and bloated. Granted, I've only taken this and Superpump 250, I have a feeling I will not get this sort of pump from many, if any, other NO product. However, I only have 2 servings left of PreSurge until I give Shock Therapy a try. So we shall see.

Originally Posted by J1mb0

Thanks for the support fella's!
