Captain Sagara · 05-02-2007, 10:39 AM

You guys use 3 scoops of No-Xplode?'I only use one,and it's good to go,it's too expensive to use 3 scoops everyday...Why 3 scoops anyway?they really only recomend 1...

Borup · 05-02-2007, 10:50 AM

try 3 scoops and you will see why.. If one is enogh for you.. Good for you!!! But many adjust to it.

Captain Sagara · 05-02-2007, 11:03 AM

with 3 scoops,in 2 weeks the bottle is empty..

Hey guys, I've noticed that I've been getting more leg cramps at night after I started with NO-Xplode. Is this normal ?

I am 14 years old and was wondering if Nitric Oxide was safe for me. If not what is a good alternative? Thanks.

Mo34Hockey · 05-03-2007, 06:18 PM

if your getting leg cramps from any type of an NO or creatine product (NO-Xplode had a lil creatine in to to if i'm not mistaken) it means ur not drinking enough water.

No.

Chicken? Oatmeal? Lifting well, sleeping well, eating well, and doing well in school?

Perhaps a prayer and multivitamin......it worked for Hulk Hogan!

wait til your about 16, i took NO explode when i was 16 and it worked well but for your age just eat a lot, buy some Whey Protein and some Glutamine and thats all you'll need for a few years

LiftsHeavy31 · 05-03-2007, 10:13 PM

BSN NO-Explode hands down. It gives me insane pumps and strength. Not to mention focus and motivation to work out. I especially love it during chest and back workout days.
I like the delivery system. I feel it within twenty minutes. I can lift much heavier weight versus when I do not use it. It is especially helpful after taking the weekend off and I need a kick start to begin my weekly workout cycle. The mind body connection is definitely there with NO-Explode!

Or a good anti-oxidant. Dont worry about whatthe magazines say. Just work on being consitant with your training and your diet. By the time you are 18 youll have been doing those 2 things for so long adding in a supp here and there will have the desired effect. Eating and training will be second nature by that point.

i was an NOxplode (bsn) fan, but then i wanted to "try" something else....

i was using 3 scoops of NOxplode every training day, i tried 1 scoop (to asses tolerance) of superpump250 and its FAR better then any 3 scoops of NO Xplode...

superpump250 is great gives amazing pumps and im really focused in the gym. I find it much more affective then No xplode. Has anyone tried xpand? hows does it compare to No xplode or sp250?

scorpio68 · 05-05-2007, 12:02 PM

I have tried Expand. It worked pretty good for me. I did feel the pump.

Has anyone tried ALRI's WTF Pumped?

Welchman · 05-05-2007, 02:57 PM

I've been using NO-Xplode for a while now and really like it. However, I would like to hear some more about this "superpump". Muscletech, no? I'm always looking for something better. And changing supplements keeps your body guessing, which stimulates growth.

stevothedevo · 05-05-2007, 03:55 PM

The fact is, there is no science supporting any of the claims made for so-called nitric oxide supplements. There is no science showing they have any effect on nitric oxide levels and certainly no science showing in effects on muscle growth or increased performance.

Ask yourself why there is no research to support these companies? wild claims. The simple answer is that research is expensive, make believe products are not. Research provides evidence, fraudulent supplement marketing only delivers hype. It?s far more financially rewarding to sell hype than to produce effective supplements backed by science.

I don?t know where the marketers obtained their literature on nitric oxide. It looks like they are using the same journals as the companies selling Myostatin inhibitors ? Alice in Wonderland. Although nitric oxide acts as a cell-to-cell communicator for certain metabolic functions, muscle growth is not one of them. After a review of the available literature I cannot find any research that remotely indicates increasing nitric oxide levels plays a part in increasing protein synthesis, contractile strength or any other biochemical pathway that may lead to increases in muscle mass.

Bottom line, money spent on these products is money flushed down the toilet.

I have been using Pump Tech for about 2 and a half months. It really got me going til recently. It seems I don't get as much out of it anymore and it takes longer for it to start working. Just got my NaNo Vapor in. Will start on it on Monday.

Any comments / opinions on why ALL the research available debunks this product?

i ve been using pump tech 4 a year and a half and your right it is as effective as it was when i started but its still gives me what i need (plus i get it for next to nothing) . I wanted to start the nano but one day i noticed the pump tech pills explode if left out just like nano does. and they say in the ads that that is what makes them the new and improved no product. it might just be the same sh@t!!!

Good to see that people don't let the truth stand in the way of a good story.

It is as inane and relevant as arguing about the best beer or cigarette brand - they all are virtually the same, contain nuances of the same ingredient and adevertisers whip up shades of differences, add the words 'improved' etc to bolster sales or coax you to change....geeze are you REALLY that gullible?

TitaniumULTD · 05-05-2007, 06:54 PM

I've tried EAS's Nitron 5, a generic AAKG booster, and now SuperPump250. This is what I've noticed:

Nitron 5: 30 mins after dose, I HAD to go lift something. I would physically turn red until I would start lifting, and the strength was a great increase. Pump increased slightly.

Generic: Hardly noticed. Very little difference at all.

Superpump: 30 minutes after dose, I'm hyped and full of energy. Pump is average, maybe slightly over non-supplemented n/o. BUT results, day after day, are amazing. I had hit a plateau during cut up, and this broke that plateau and continues to build muscle as I cut.

kiko11 · 05-06-2007, 10:40 AM

No xplode...i like it...some do, some dont, but i do haha

Banana- · 05-06-2007, 11:13 AM

NoXplode.. I love it!

the best product there is imo, additional to creatine and whey ofcourse.
I do suggest the 6-8 weeks on, and then at least 4 weeks off.

RozeyLG44 · 05-06-2007, 12:24 PM

Brand new by MuscleTech, naNO Vapor is by far best pre-workout supplement around. I have used Gakic, naNOx9, no-Xplode, and L-arganine/ornithine, but nothing has compared to the results of naNO Vapor. no-xplode is great for the first tub but after that the effects, at least for me went away. I'm on tub three or naNO Vapor and the effects seem to get stronger each time, maybe its just my mind playing tricks, but I would spend my money on naNO vapor any day of the week over BSN after seeing the effects.

Fcivit45 · 05-06-2007, 01:50 PM

NO explode cannot hold a candle to naNO Vapor ... Nano Vapor is far and away the best

\S/ · 05-06-2007, 01:59 PM

The NO + Energy complex in Animal Pump worked great for me.

ossizen · 05-06-2007, 03:47 PM

NO Monster stacked with Zeus works great for me. I'll find out how those two stacked with Fubar will do...

i dont need science to know if a supplement works or not, yeah its great sometimes but not most the time. Truth is science didn't use ME for their research and ME is different then YOU. and i know the the Energy affects and pump i see is different because i know how MY body feels. and No xplode gave me the focus and energy i wanted for workouts. Superpump250 finally added that pump i wanted and i can FEEL it. yet both products claim the same thing. Only one gave MY BODY the feeling ....

everyone is different and if you dont like "nitric oxide" products..then dont buy them.

I for one like them. Just as much as i like my protein powders and my creatine.
even if its just the caffeine in NO products. so be it. i dont like coffee. but these kinds of products give me what I want.

Sp250 is still my fav.
