There is always going to be a correlation between advertising and sales. For every consumer that does their homework and seeks objective feedback, there will be many more that see BSN's add in a muscle magazine and thinks that it is the only thing that the models use. That is my reasoning for them being #2.

To each there own I guess the saying goes. Some get great results on it; two guys that I sometimes work in with swear by it. Me and my workout partner get nothing from it and thats after 3 scoops.

My friend got some, i tried it out i got pumped up, but got a massive headache, and didn't feel to hot after my workout. And after a few times use i stopped seeing that much of a difference. I'm thinking of trying Superpump 250, people say it works well, but to each his own.

they dont pay to be in there! I've ordered it at least 3 times when i first started working out. Someone has said it before on here, all the high school kids think that no-xplode is the bomb! For example the first time you ever use it if you take 2 scoops you have like the best workout ever. I dont even know how many kids got hooked on it (i was one of them) in high school. Some guy would bring it in and be kind enough to share and like 5 of us would take it and what do you know you see those five guys next week each having a tub cuz they loved it so much. It took me couple of months and some forums usage to find better and less expensive stuff.

No xplode is just a caffeine boost like redbull but a bit stronger

Like alot of people said,the majority of sales are from kids seeing it in magazines and such and think "oh i need it" but it is also a half decent product that people get results from ,it works for some and not for others whereas a different product will work for them and not for the NO Xplode users so its just down to who it affects. But the people who say theres better products out there that are cheaper as right but wrong. Yeah there are cheaper products that will work for them but maybe not for you so its just a matter of what works for you.
I am a fellow NO Xplode user and it works well for me

<<< I use NO Xplode and I don't consider myself a "noob"... It's a decent product, pricey yes, but it gives me the boost I like. Not too strong but not complete **** either. And I like the way it tastes. I've used it off and on over the past 3 years or so. Just bought a new tub last night.

funny
My theory is once a product gets there it will be hard pressed to get knocked off the bb.com top sellers list.
I dont have the time to read all the forum threads as i once did. Therefore, in order to find a working product and what people are using, I go to the top seller list and order whats there. Do i know i am a sheep...yeah, but it saves me stress, time and frustration of bickering threads comparing products.
I am sure I am not the only one doing this. There are likely hundreds of time pressed folks just like me. haha, ive been in here for years and the same products on on that top 50 list.

Because the average person who buys from the store is not very well educated in terms of supplements.
I think there is a big misconception that the forum users are the same people who buy bb.com supplements. I would really be suprised if regular forum users ever accounted for 20% of the products purchased off bb.com

They're not all created equal. The only benefits I've noticed are the nootropic and stimulant type of effect that SOME of them provide (the ones with nootropics). Could care less these days about the "pump"

It's all about advertising...I thought NO-Explode was probably the best pre-workout at one time, until I discovered Fast Twitch and Superpump 250! I even think Shock Therapy was a litlle better!

NO-Xplode sells because BSN advertises the product very well. And, since the consumers do not understand the relevant physiology or read applicable biomedical research, they buy into the campaign (L-Arginine = nitric oxide = mind blowing pumpz).
Edit: For those interested in the pertinent physiology or research, http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...1&postcount=13.

when i was a rookie in the workout game i first tried no-xplode and i quickly realized how crappy it was.i quickly lost those "xplode" effects and it kind of rid of me taking any no boosters in general.

You can make statistics say anything you want. Who knows what bb.com is using as the standard for the top 50

I use it...have for about 2 or 3 years. Ive tried Black Powder and NaNovapor as well, but definitely works the best for me. I did just get a sample of sp250 though, we'll see. Kind of sucks though, they give you 1 packet for a sample and then the instructions say to take 2 packets as a serving. How am I supposed to make an informed decision with half a serving? C'mon gaspari, hook me up. Make me a customer!

try the one packet, it's going to be better than 3 scoops of no xplode
BTW, dark rage is good too but you can taste the iron and imo it tastes like ****.
