Question about NO explode and Nitrix..

I am on the stack, but I dont know if I am taking it right..

Im taking No Explode 30 mins prior to workouts, and then NO synthasize AND nitrix right after my workout, then nitrix again before I go to bed.

Should I be taking Nitrix pre AND post instead of Post and before bed? any ideas?

The L-Arganine in both would be a lot, is there a certain limit in which the body reacts to the L-Arganine? or the more then better?

please let me know your thoughts

Depends on what time of the day you work out. If you work out at night then you probably want to take a dose of nitrix in the morning because the idea behind nitrix is to keep anabolic all day because your body has the continuous N.O. release. A post work out does is a very good idea because you are going to get better nutrient transport post work out and the little bit of creatine in it wont hurt either. I wouldn't stack nitrix with the NO Xplode pre work out because they both do the same thing pretty well. The only reason to stack is if you wanted a bigger pump without more caffeine that could counteract the N.O. effects. So personally if you are working out at say 5 pm

Dose 1- Nitrix - Morning
Dose 2- Nitrix - Mid Afternoon
Does 3- NO Xplode - 30-45 min pre workout
Does 4- Nitrix -Post Work out
Does 5- Nitrix -Before Bed

Does 5 may be optional. this is just my opinion. Anyone please feel free to debate.

Thanks a lot for the response, it made perfect sense to me.
How ever,you were accurate with the times. I do workout anywhere around 5 pm. I really cant afford to go through a thing of nitrix THAT fast, the dosage is 4 caps per serving. Should I take say, 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, then 2 after a workout? or... 1? or.. all 4 caps at those times?

If I do take the full dosage, 4x a day, that bottle will go down very fast lol.

Some basic info...

The aakg in NO-Explode is in powder form and will absorb very rapidly, convert and only effect your vascularity for 30 min or so, the rest of the "pump" feeling is coming from the stimulants. For longer lasting pumps your Nitrix is going to be more benefitial as it will take longer to get into your system as a capsul breaks down very slowly. This will give you a steady stream of AAKG being delivered to your blood stream and therefore longer lasting pumps.

With Nitrix you should be taking it 3 times a day, first thing in the morning, in your case right before you train, and before you go to bed at night. You want to keep NO levels up while not training due to the effects it has on resting GH levels. A good NO product has the potential to raise resting GH levels by 200% of baseline. GH levels natrually rise by 300% - 500% of baseline when weight training and NO product do not seem to have an effect on GH levels at this time.

Good luck.

So when I wake up, before I work out ( with NO explode ) and then before I go to bed?

Sounds good.. I will wait for more responses before I decide what i'm going to do, for now I will just take it before AND after the workout, but only 1/2 dose each time.

Thanks for the response!!

If you want to make the bottle last the longest, because Nitrix can cost lots if you use it lots, then I would suggest using smaller does more times through out the day. On non workout days take your kre-alkalyn in the morning but on days you do work out take a does right after your work out. You dont need on pre workout because there is creatine in NO Xplode. I wouldnt think you would need to take another does through out the day because of the creatine content of the nitrix. Though there isnt a lot of creatine in the nitrix the smaller doeses through out the day should be sufficient. Just make sure you get your dose of Kre-alkalyn post workout with your nitrix. Get some Carbs 15 minutes after than and then your protein 15-30 minutes after your carbs.

Kre-alkalyn AND nitrix post workout, that makes perfect sence, since nitrix helps deiver the creatine into the system.

thanks for the help man, rep'd

This might be of intrest to you as well.

Arginine by itself does not give you the pump that most people desire. Some scientists say that it has poor absorbtion, but there are studies that show it Boosts GH and NO levels. It boosts GH because it curtails the release of the growth hormone inhibiting hormone. Arginine with a alpha-ketoglutarate molecule allows for better absorbtion. Multiple studies prove that this form of arginine improve strength and size. Arginine Ethyl-Ester has the best absorbtion. So if you want the GH Boosting effects you would need does around 9g of Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate or 6g of Arginine Ethyl Ester. Citrulline increases the blood levels of arginine, which makes it more effective for the pump and GH effects. American Ginseng is also suppose to give you the most effective Arginine to N.O. transition. Vitamin C helps limit free radicals which lower the effects of N.O. So taking Vitamin C with it will also help, A good dose to use is between 500 and 1000 mg.

So the best Arginine Products should have an igredient listing like :

SUPPLEMENT DOSE*

Arginine 2-9 g
Citrulline 1-3 g
Pycnogenol 50-100 mg
or
American ginseng 100-200 mg
Rutaecarpine 10-100 mg
Vitamin C 500-1,000 mg

NOTE: Supplement with arginine immediately after waking up in the
morning, 30-60 minutes before workouts, immediately after workouts and
30-60 minutes before going to sleep at night.
* g = grams, mg = milligrams
