Hi all, I'm not new to lifting however I am fairly new to NO products.
After reading a lot of opinions on this stuff, I think I'm gonna have to give NO Xplode a shot first, even though the price is a little high for the doseage.
My question is, would it be too much to stack another no product my first time or should I just stick with one? I was thinking about NO limits with No xplode and of course a milti vitamin and protein. I'm open to any suggestions, also would it be smart to get another source of creatine for post workout to mix with my protein or would this be enough?

Since you're new to these types of supplements, here's what I would recommend. First, I wouldn't stack too many products ininitially. If you do, you won't know which one's are doing what or which one's are working for you. If you try them individually, you can determine if they work for you, if you like it, and exactly what it does for you. Once you get to the point where you know which are good, then stack them. Be sure to read the directions and follow them. If using BSN NO Xplode, you take it pre-workout on an EMPTY stomach. If stacking it with BSN Cellmass, you also take it on an empty stomach post workout. I believe it says (double-check) that you're not to have food or protein drinks within an hour (before or after). For best results, I would use a creatine. You can go cheap and do 6 week cycles with 3-4 weeks off of regular monohydrate, or use one of the powder or pills from a variety of companies. I'm going to be reviewing a new creatine at the end of September (CON-CRET). Some of the popular stacks are:
BSN NO-Xplode X
BSN Nitrix
BSN Cellmass X
VPX No Shotgun
VPX CEX
Gasparis Superpump 250
Gasparis Sizeon
Novedex
Cotrolled Labs White Flood
Cotrolled Labs Green Magnitude
Cotrolled Labs Green Bulge
Cotrolled Purple Wrath
Cotrolled Glycergrow
Good luck.....

BSN is a good brand but the Nitrix isn't one of there better products. The MRI product sounds good, but I think that you can find something else as good for a LOT cheaper. As far as results, these are both Nitric Oxide boosters. They may give some added energy pre-workout and give you a pump while working out. For more size, etc., use a creatine product.

First let me say thanks to pitjoe, you cleared up some confusion that I was having between the products! I will deffinatly follow the directions as suggested and cycle on and off.
Sorry for the newb ?'s but with those stacks that you listed, would you still recommend trying just an NO and a creatine to start? Or would it be fine to stack within the company seeing that each formula is different in its own way? For example, I did a little research on the products and the $$per serving for the bsn stack is rediculous, it was the most expensive and the least amount per serving out of all of them. So I decided I'm either gonna go with the controlled labs to start off, "being the best price per serving." Or the VPX. I was thinking, Green magnitude/white flood/ glycergrow to start. What do you think?Last edited by plasticbat; 08-25-2007 at 07:31 PM.

Well, each company will usually tell you that there products are formulated to use as a stack. This doesn't mean that you can't mix and match. If you like a particular brand, a lot of times you'll stack there products. The only problem with mixing and matching is that a lot of times you won't know the dosage for each ingredient due to a lot of companies showing them as a proprietery blend. I think that if you went with the Green magnitude/white flood/glycergrow stack that you spoke of, it should work well. Just follow the instructions and remember to drink a lot more water throughout the day while using Nitric and creatine products.

Where do you get your Glycerine?
Where do I get Glycerine?
I did a search on bb.com's store. It's mixed in some products.
The only thing I found that was pure Glycerine was "NOW Presents:
Vegetable Glycerine" that was marketed to be used for external use but "pure enough for internal use".
Where do you get your Glycerine?

Do you want straight Glycerine or a product like GylcerGROW, most who have bought Glycerine wish they would have just gone with a GG type product.

i just got back on
to Primaforce Primal N2O...(again)
after running out of my NanoVapor...
the Primal seemed to give me better results...
i give props to muscletech for making a product that tastes good(which seems important to me lately) and mixes fast with literally zero wait time...
and after getting back on to primal it seems like my body responds better to the primal... more explosive(and not explosive CRAPS)... but i get super tingly and itchy!
and this rash... i still gotta figure out if the reason for these rashes is because of the NO products..."if a supplement falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it will the squirrels gain any lean body mass?"

I use NO and creatine together. You have to read the instructions. I take my NO on an empty stomach pre-workout, then take the creatine supplement on an empty stomach post-workout. I cycle off. While off, I pick up some caffeine anhydrous from CVC pharmacy and take pre-workout. I also use L-Glutamine powder and D-Ribose, as well as whey protein, a multi-vitamin and a good diet. Remember when using NO or creatine products to drink a lot of water throughout the day.

I took NO Xplode for however long the jug lasted and I had pretty good results, I felt pretty pumped up and my workouts were good.
People said naNO vapor is much more intense so I thought I'd give that a try. I took 1 scoop and I didn't feel anything at all one day. The next day I took 2 scoops and I didn't feel pumped up really but I had a decent workout I guess. After the workout though I had the worst stomach ache ever that I couldn't even take my PWO shake for about an hour and couldn't even drink water out of fear of throwing up everywhere. About 1.5 hours later I felt fine, though. I don't know if I need to take it on more of an empty stomach to feel the pumped up effects or not but I'm not the biggest fan of naNO vapor at all.

I tried the naNO Vapor myself. At first, it seemed to work OK, but my body quickly grew tolerant of it. I was up to 2.5 scoops before I gave up. (I think it's way too costly to start using 3 or 4 scoops to try and duplicate it's original effects). I didn't get sick from it though, that part sucks.
