I have completed a cycle (all portions of my split ) while taking No-Xplode.
First things first: Fruit Punch Freeze is not an adequate enough name.
It should be Luscious-Berry-Orgasm-Unconsciousness. It's fizzy goodness is enough to send you into melted popsicle bliss.
I am very satisfied with the product. The pump is amazing. Vascularity is markedly improved and it is a reasonable replacement for ECA. It's not AS intense as the stack but still offers benefits. (you can't use both.)
All in all it does it's job and I will continue to use it. If the pump is there then the increased blood flow is doing it's job and everybody's happy.
BSN needs to license the flavor to crystal light with the effervesence so I can slug a gallon of it a day. God damn is it good ****.
OUT of the night that covers me,Black as the Pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In The fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
EDIT: OOPS
Yeah, uh, this is Budiak. Sue me.
Yes, the flavor is something I left out. It is sweet, effervescent and slightly creamy, with vanilla and oak hues(?).
I am simply curious as to whether or not your body will become desensitized to it, making you need more and more until you become a NoExplode junkie. My only problem is that there are little chunky bits on the side of the glass when you're done, and I don't know if those would fit through the veins in my eyeballs.

I just blasted through a leg day and the quadpump was nothing short of amazing.
I need a contract with BSN.
We concluded that we will be making No-Xplode Jell-o jigglers and popsicles.
Man the stuff is good.

I'm quite happy with the pump I get with just working out. I'm not saying I wouldn't want that much of a better pump, I would. But I'm not going to shell out cash to look bigger and better for a couple hours on workout days.

Its about time this stuff gets a positive review from a couple of respected members of WBB. Most ppl bash it without ever even trying it. I have been taking it for a month or so, and its not your typical NO product. What I notice most is how much more I can focus in the gym and how much more agressive I am (in the gym). Some pretty nice pumps too. Only thing I dont like is it makes my eyes burn, has anyone else noticed this? I have the lemonade flavor which tastes pretty damn good also.
Its not just for looking bigger for a couple hrs. Speaking from personal experience my workouts are more intense, so if I can push out a couple more reps than I can without it, isnt that what its all about?Originally Posted by Canadian Crippler
has any one tried mixing creatine mono with No Xplode?
That's the stimulants+Placebo.Originally Posted by rob618
And there is creatine in NoXplode.

I used a full dose and the pump was ridiculous; almost painful. I didn't get a great deal of energy from it, but I think that had more to do with the fact that I ate 30 minutes prior to taking it. I did feel slightly more focused and I certainly looked bigger than normal.
I'm going to continue to use it and see how things improve. I'll be saving it for workout days only and stick with regular creatine on off days.

Also, if their not, everyone says there is not enough, so wouldnt putting more in be optimal?
we'll you ask, "Why not just buy mono", because I lost some mono when I moved that I just found again.
Or, because I like the rush I get from No Xplode, and other caffeine stimulants give me headaches, this does not.

Man, you guys must look great for an hour after you leave the gym....

Seriously, I understand the idea of getting a great pump and how good it feels but I just don't see the point of it as a supplement. I think you are paying a lot of money to get a good pump and not much else with NO2 products. I guess if I were a better businessman I could sell products like that and make more money but I just won't sell something I wouldn't pay good money for.
Chris...I understand your reasoning and had been in complete agreement...but after reading that article by Layne Norton over on bb.com and seeing the studies he referenced from UT...i think the NO concept has some merit, i just think that the supplement companies are putting a lot of other fillers into the product to justify the pricing.
May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
like pup said its more then the fact of getting a pump there are other benefits to it besides that.
a few that come to mind regarding just the NO aspect and not the other ingredients in the product...
-Nitric Oxide plays a critical role in improving blood circulation throughout the body.
Nitric Oxide participates in regulating a wide range of physiological processes.
Nitric Oxide is a major stimulator of muscle growth.
When test research animals were given extra Arginine (for increased nitric oxide synthesis), muscle size increased at an accelerated rate.
When NO synthesis was blocked muscle gains were diminished.
Research demonstrates nitric oxide from Arginine is critical for developing increased muscle mass in test animals.
When test animals are given extra Arginine, muscle fibers grow in diameter at an accelerated rate.
More significantly, when NO is blocked muscle growth slows.
Arginine is an essential amino acid that has been heavily researched over the past thirty years.
Arginine has been used by athletes for 3 decades to optimize the benefits of physical training.
It has also been shown to raise hgh levels...
these studies were done on people and animals but using an iv but none the less even though less is absorbed orally it still proves effective non the less... plus if something is gonna get good reviews sure it is worth a test![]()

Reading the title I thought this was just going to be another bashing of NO2 products, but was surprised to see differently (unless everyone has been very sarcastic).
I've tried an No2 product and could definitely feel what the product claimed to do, but in the end (about 15 days use) it seemed as though the added pump made my muscles feel tired faster and I wasn't lifting as much as I had been used to. Maybe I just wasnt used to the pumps or something. But I can see why people take it for motivation or possibly just for something fun/different, plus one bottle won't set you back very much anymore.

I didn't purchase it for the pump, I wanted to try a new stimulant combination that didn't cause me to be restless. It's more convenient for me to just get it all in one place, that's for sure. Same reason I'd buy Thermocin rather than its constituents.Originally Posted by chris mason
not sure I like that one. i would assume with thermocin it has good doses needed. smaller company, with reasonable prices, claiming they only care about quality...
But when you hear 1 gram of creatine in NO, um...I'm pretty sure that creatine isn't effective until you do 2.5 grams. I read this just recently in the stickies? or damn, I'm not sure

but also, not to be an ass, I buy arginine and like it a lot when I take it.

I wrote this in the other no-explode thread. Now I have done some reading on NO and arginine and kinda came up with my own conclusion.. It makes sense to me but that doesnt mean its right its just my opinion..
All NO products serve a purpose IMO, Imagine your muscles fatigue really fast due to lactid acid build up.. Well what do we know that helps to rid out muscles of lactid acid?
Blood right, Thats why we do recovery work to get the blood flowing so we can wipe out the amonia that lactid acid leaves behind which is what causes the soreness and stiffness.
So that being said what does an NO product do? It helps deliver more blood to the muscles which can wipe away more lactid acid, Allowing you to work out longer thus tearing more muscles than you would have normally done without and no supp.. Also what else does blood do for our muscles? It feeds it the nutrients needed to grow, So you kinda get the picture that not only does it wipe away more lactid acid but it will also allow you to recover faster by feeding your hungry muscles more than you could normally do on your own.

Well I gotta say I HAVE to try it now. I've been debating it and checkin it out for a while now. This takes it...I gotta give it a shot.
Anyone got a good site to get it off of cheap? also what is the BEST flavor?
yeah i as well am going to try this product.. i am going to stack it with more creatine mono and see how it works.... i took no2 for a few bottles about a year ago and honestly thought it was a complete waste of money.. i really saw no gains.. however i was not eating the way i am now... i honestly have been more satisfied with eating more and taking more shakes in... however i am willing to try this on hatreds word.... i will have to go to vitamin world tomorrow if its on sale
