So I started taking No-Xplode about 3 weeks ago and I can't really tell if this stuff is working or not. I've been following the directions as precisely as I can, so it shouldn't be a problem there...
I take 2 scoops in the morning on an empty stomach with lots of water, then in about an half hr or so I'll down a protein shake and head to the gym.
I do notice that after I take it, I get a bit of a sugar/caffeine rush, which I'm assuming is what most people describe as the "euphoric" or "focused" feeling they get when they use this stuff. However, by the time I get to the gym (generally not more then 45min or so later as per the instructions) the feeling is normally gone, and if too much time passes, I'll start to get a slight headache.
When at the gym, I don't really notice much of a difference between the times I take the No-Xplode or when I don't... no real noticeable increase in strength or endurance, or any increased "pumped" feeling afterwards...
I'm mostly concerned about the slight headache I get, beings it tends to make my gym-going experience not so pleasant. I'm assuming it's probably from all the caffeine in the product.
I guess I'm just checking to see if anyone else has had similar issues with this product?
Personally I'd prefer a similar NO product that doesn't have as much caffeine in it.
Any suggestions??
Thanks!

Try Animal Pump I know it works pretty well for me. But before you throw down money on another supp try drinking more water. I don't know how much you are drinking now but a gallon a day seems to do it. I would try drinking a little more water first but if you go with the Animal Pump you can take out the red pill, which has the stims in it. Good luck bro

I personally workoutout in the morning and usually take my NoXplode 30-45min max before my workout and I do feel the extra energy/ focus from the supp. I would assume that there is always something out there that may not work for someone, so I would say try upping your water intake as said before, and if that doesnt work, just try a diff supp if you want a stim. Its not like its the only one out there. But I hope you do find something that will work for you, as it really does help my gym experience. Good luck

Yeah... I've had a hard time figuring out the best time to eat when I take this stuff. Since it says to take it on an empty stomach I generally take it when I wake up then I'll have a protein shake about a half hr later then head to the gym. I'm normally really hungry in the mornings, so i gotta eat something before I go work out. Maybe I'll try switching and eating first and see how that works.
When I bought this stuff, I asked the guys at the store if they was anything else that had less caffeine... they had mentioned the White Flood, and I've seen on this site that a few other people that didn't like the NO-Xplode had switched to that stuff and liked it. At the time I hadn't done much research on the White Flood so maybe I'll give it a shot after I'm done with this stuff... **** wasn't cheap so I figure I better use it weather it's working or not... :-/
So what's the story w/the Animal Pak?
There's 2 pills and you can leave out the one w/the stimulant??Play drums and lift weights...
What else could be better?

I would reverse your NO Xplode and protein supp imtake.
Take protein about an hour b4 workout, then NO Xplode about 30 min before.
Also, you can try taking NOX when you get to the gym. Then, warm up for 10-15 min and by that time, it should start to kick in.
Also, IMO, Superpump250 works better, but if you like NOX, then continue with it.~Stylin On U Crew~
Have the courage to accept what you can't alter and to alter what you can't accept.
