BSN No Explode

onehotfoxbody · 05-21-2009, 05:22 PM

Is this bad to take if you're a girl? Or the BSN Syntha-6. What is the purpose of it? I was in GNC today and I see all these muscle building products and I don't know what to buy. Can anyone help?

I take NO XPlode and it's awesome; it gets you pumped up and allows you to work out for longer amounts of time.

Syntha-6 is good, too, but my personal favorite BSN protein is Lean Dessert. Yummy stuff.

Oh really ok so I'm going to invest in that and also I'm going to try the lean dessert. Right now I only drink the E.A.S 100% whey protein. But I'm sure more is needed. What else do you take if you don't mind me asking?

NO-Explode is awesome for pre-workout energy . . . mixable and quick, no wait time whatsoever. Just stay away from the lemon-lime flavor . . . it's ick. Fruit Punch and Lemonade are my favorites. =]

instead of jumping into just buying things because you think you need them, you should really do some research of your own.

Agreed that NO Xplode is great for energy, but you're going to start taking a product without even really knowing how it works... flying blind

NO xplode gave me a BAD headache when I used it x2.

gaminsfg · 05-22-2009, 04:41 AM

I use Lean Dessert and Syntha-6 and I love them. Their great post workout and they taste good...not as chalky as the others I've tried. No Explode is awesome for me because it's quick and easy and I can just mix and go. I would agree that you need to research for yourself and see what you like and what it does.

OP
NOXplode is a good pre-workout supp, intended to open your blood vessels, allowing additional nutrients to fuel the muscles (creatine etc)
It's one of the best nitric-oxide supps available, in my opinion.

I've never had the chest tightness, headaches or dizziness that some others seem to get, BUT, the side effects / downsides for me are:

It's hard to drink - Sickly sweet with bitter after taste. I spend 5 mins after drinking it, trying to keep it down! It really is horrible.
Makes you pee - I hit the toilets at least 5 times during a workout.
At first, it gave me chronic diarrhea. But I seem to have gotten over that now.
Makes me sweat buckets!?!

The pros far outweight the cons but for me.

Great pumps.
Great energy.
Great motivation / focus.

I don't believe it would be any worse/better for women than it is for men.

Guess it's not for everyone then.... I think it works well, but I have heard others say it doesn't do anything for them either. My best mate included.

My best mate is a woman, who hits the weights hard, and she is also a 'non-responder'.

Are there sample packs of NOXplode available anywhere?

I don't mind you asking at all.

I take either NO XPlode or Nitric Force before long weight training sessions, unless I don't have either available. Then, I just drink an energy drink (Sugar Free Amp is a good one for me -- enough energy for my workout but not so much that I'm jittery and shaky). Post-workout, I make sure I have some sort of whey protein -- usually either AdvantEDGE Carb Control, EAS 100% whey protein, or this hard-to-find fruity drink thing CytoSport makes with 100% whey protein. It's green, says tropical flavor, tastes kind of like pina colada, has 160 calories, 0 sugar, 0 fat, and 40g protein. My gym sells it, but I haven't seen it anywhere else.

Sometimes, I have BSN Lean Dessert or MuscleMilk post-workout, but I prefer those two either as a snack or before bed, as they're compound proteins.

Are you preparing for a contest, just trying to lean out, gain muscle, or what?

I love N.O. explode, its my favorite pre- workout sup.! I think it taste good....all flavors. If you get diareaha it means you took to much, what your body doesn't absorb it "eliminates". Start with 1/2 scoop. Good luck!

Ya I drink the EAS 100% whey protien, I love it! I drink "extreme NOS pumped" before my workout and during and then a protien shake after. My x boyfriend is into bodybuilding so I've picked up a lot from him as far as what to do and things to take but we don't really talk anymore so now that we are broke up I wanted to start bettering my health and my appearance. But now I also have a lot of questions that he's not here to answer lol soooo here I am

I used to be into bodybuilding when I was like 18 and I got out of it because of laziness. But now I'm back into it and more addicted than ever.

No contest yet, maybe in the future though. I don't think I'm at that level yet. But I'm working hard for it.

love lean dessert!!!!

misslizzard · 05-23-2009, 10:23 AM

i am a huge fan of syntha-6, for blended proteins. i tried mm light and didn't really like it that much, but once i tried syntha-6 i was sold, the only thing is that i cut the scoops in half if i blend w/skim milk, but syntha6 tastes great w/water too so i use a full scoop there.

varza · 05-23-2009, 01:17 PM

I love syntha-6... love love love it! I have tried various proteins but its the only one I have ever come across that smoothly mixes. I get the vanilla and mix it with a g2 after a workout - very very very yummy!

Lean dessert is great - I am out now but I used to get the chocolate and mix it with plain yogurt and fresh berries for my evening snack. So delicious!

Have not tried no-explode. My gym has it in the vending machine. Would it be okay to use on cardio days or weight train only?

brittafoster · 05-24-2009, 04:41 PM

NO Xplode rocks,, thats all I can say,,, also,, Xtend is an awsome product,, i love all of the sciavtion products,,, i use xtend, and scivation whey.... awesome,,,

MJJRules · 05-31-2009, 10:54 PM

I had a sample pack of blue razz Xplode and had a hard time getting it down, tasted awful, and I also didn't feel a thing from it, no pump, or energy boost. Now I do seem to have a very high tolerance to caffeine, but I regularly take SuperPump, and through I don't get much of an energy boost from it either, I do get amazing pumps, and good focus. Everyone is different, what works for one, doesn't work for another.
