Do all NO sups work the same?

GoodToGo · 08-18-2007, 03:28 AM

I have tried a few different NO/pre-workout supplements with little affect. I have tried Storm, NO-xplode, White Flood, and a few others. I didn't notice any more energy, focus or pump. Common sense would say stop taking them, which I have, but I was curious if there were any that would work for me or if I should jsut give up on them.

Sounds like you weren't really pushing yourself enough to benefit or maybe you were dehydrated. If it makes you feel better, you aren't alone.

I tried NO-Xplode when I was 15. It was like crack for a 15 year old and I thought it was the best thing out there at the time.

Here recently I tried White Flood and as far as pumps and overall increase in focus and strength, It blew NO-Xplode out of the water.

Just last night I tried NO-Shotgun. I have to say, this is without a doubt the best NO supplement I've ever taken. Increase in overall strength was phenominal. Vascularity was insane. My veins were literally exploding out of my arms.
And the best part is the pump you get off of it. I did half of my normal chest routine, stopped to get some more water and thought I'd go see what kind of pump I was getting so far. I was shocked when I looked in the mirror. My chest was bigger than it had ever been before.

I've already ordered 2 more tubs. NO-Shotgun is amazing.

I'm still waiting for my Superpump 250 to get here. Supposedly it's better than NO-Shotgun. We'll see.

IMO.... this could possibly indicate that your endogenous arginine concentrations are regularly high.

Most NO Supps dont work on me either I recently just bitc*ed out and tried naNO Vapor just to see if it works..wich it dosent but then again most dont.

but White Flood works for me most of the time so White Flood is still my hands down favorite...Most horrid taste in the world BUT I dont take supps for taste

I have to take 2-3x more then recomended dosage because I have a naturally high tollerance for EVERYTHING. vikoden(SP) Dosent even work on me.

Maybe you are like me and you just need to up the dose of what your taking..costs more but if you get a good pump its well worth it..when i take some WF and I find my self JOGGING my patrols at work (IM security guard) I dont regret spending any money

Good Luck!

I usually drink around a gallon and a half a day. I am always pretty hydrated. This is the first time I have heard someone mention endogenous arginine concentrations. Would this make anything else less effective?...I think I will give one more NO supplement a chance, and if it doesn't work, just accept the fact they are not ment to work for me.

Ha. WF is just plain disgusting. They supposedly changed the taste, but I could hardly drink ithe old stuff. Interesting that you mention vicodin doesn't do anything for you, it doesn't work for me either. I can't even tell I took anything. I will try upping the dosage of the next NO sup I get, I have doubled the dosage of some and didn't notice anything.

it maybe not the most tasteful thing ever, but man that stuff make me jitter badly for like 2 hours I had endless amounts of energy. I tried superpump, NO explode and WF was the most insane I ditched it after a week due to taste couldnt handle it, but boy that stuff is insane.

There is but one NO substrate within the body.... arginine, and it's still there prior to taking any NO product, so if your endogenous arginine levels are relatively high to begin with.... the NO products will do very little for you.

Try a NO product with norvaline/citrulline. This will at least limit the amount of degradation in the liver by arginase I.
