Good results with bad side effects, Sep 16, 2011
|
reviewer: Tony from Las Vegas, NV
|
| I took this for one week and almost passed out at the gym from dehydration symptoms(increased heart rate, jittery hands and legs, blurry vision,nautious, and extremely weak). It says to take 5g\'s pre workout and 5g\'s post workout, in my opinion; this is way too much. I cut it down to half scoops (2.5g\'s pre & post workout) and the bad side effects decreased. Make sure you drink about 1 gallon of water and watch how much of this stuff you take n you should be fine. Overall great stuff, with the right amount. |

good caffeine boost, but be careful, Jul 05, 2011
|
reviewer: Jordan from Korea
|
| i like this product because it gives me a boost. many people say it is the caffeine, but i am a heavy coffee drinker and this product is much, much stronger -- and different.
BE CAREFUL though: the settling of the product causes certain elements to float to the top, so if you don\'t shake it, the blue raspberry flavor is white, tastes horrible, and will ruin your sleep for two days.
I wrote a number of bad reviews of this product before I realized what I had done wrong. Then my drink was blue and delicious and while not quite as powerful, it did not attempt to kill me. |

reviewer: David Radigan from Sacramento, California
|
| I usually get a good pump from it, the only bad thing i found about it is, immediately after taking it, i have to go and take a dump. |

Bad for your heart, Jun 04, 2011
|
reviewer: Ian Peterson from California
|
| I recently tried this product . 1.5 scoops at 205 lbs. Within 10 min of starting to work out my heart rate had soared to nearly 200bpm. I am in excellent condition to start with. I consulted a cardiologist and was warned that as with energy drinks, he has seen cases in the ER due to this product and similar products. Theres a reason why the blend is not fully disclosed in many products.The extra pump and endurance are not worth an SVT A FIB or a full on heart attack.Many athletes have made great gains without NO EXPLODE or other products. Buyer BEWARE!!!!! |

at your own risk, look for other stuff on the marked, Mar 22, 2011
|
reviewer: Yanick from canada
|
| Hi, I used this product for about 4 months and I loved it. But one day as I was working out my heartbeat went so hard that I almost passed out. I am talking about a 1 serving scoop. It scared the shit out of me, I will never use that kind of stuff again even if I liked the increase strength (and little gain in size). It doesn\'t worth it, just eat better and don\'t forget timing is everything. fast and slow assimilating carbs 1-2 hour before with some water and it will do it. I just hope it didn\'t give me some permanent effect, I still have some irregular heartbeat. GOD I WISH I NEVER TOOK THAT CRAP. |

Well.., Feb 28, 2011
|
reviewer: Oscar from Wroclaw, Poland
|
I just bought my container; so far tried it only times; here is some insight:
Humungous pumps; did my squats today and i must say i had trouble walking from the pump- awesome feeling..
Mental aspect- you feel like you can put on another 20% of your max and still lift it with ease.
Caf energy boost.. its definitely there; I\'m personally very resistant to caf so I get a mild boost after 2 scoops however it doesn\'t last nearly as long as you would expect; basically you want to already have started your workout when the full effect kicks in ( 30-45 min )
As to strenght increase.. the creatine volume per scoop is a lil too scarce therefore if you\'re aiming for max performance, which you should, take it with your regular dosage of pre-workout creatine...
The only major drawback of noxplode is the fact Bsn wants you to take it on empty stomach ( 2 hours after your last meal ) im really skeptical when it comes to workout out on an empty stomach.
Summing up: definitely a good product, could contain a little more caf and creatine; I\'d recommend it to a friend.
Oh.. if your looking for info on what the feeling is like.. I\'d compare it to a mild-to-moderate adrenaline rush; I also get a feeling of dry eyes, probably due to the blood flow/pressure increase.

how i feel about it, Feb 05, 2011
|
reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
|
| well i\'ve been takeing NO Xplode for about a year and a half. now it\'s true don\'t take more than one scoop when your first trying it, and yes, if you do take a lot of it, the side affects make you feel sick cramps and wanting to throw up. But i feel that it\'s not actually that bad, i love it better then Jacked 3D and a couple other pre-workouts that i have tried. recently being stupid on my part i took 3 scoops during football workout and 3 scoops after school in the weight room but i added other pre-workouts giving me the feeling of wanting to passout....it is very dangerous if used how i just said....but alone i don\'t really see any problems.... |

Great Product, Jan 30, 2011
|
reviewer: Joshua Smith from Louisville, KY, USA
|
| Three weeks into first bottle, and I\'m loving NO Xplod. I take two scoops an hour before gym time, and I have to make myself stop, otherwise I just keep going. My focus at the gym has increased by quite a bit and my strength has already increased. I bought two bottles of it and cannot wait to see the complete results from NO Xplod.
Positives-Lots of energy, awesome pump, great focus
Negative-Twenty to thirty minutes after drinking, I am in the bathroom with diarrhea. |

Best product on the market!!, Jan 24, 2011
|
reviewer: Matt Chandler from Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
|
| I have been trainging for the last 5 months, 6 days a week, and the size is really starting to show. I just started NO Xplode last week, and the pump is amazing!! So much energy and cant lift more. I take this about 30 minutes prior to my workout as recommended on the bottle, and by the time I hit the gym im ready to lift lots of weight!!

Love It!!, Jan 06, 2011
|
reviewer: Ronnie Coleman from Las Vegas, NV USA
|
| A lot of people are saying negative things about this. I absolutely love it. About to go on my 3rd cycle. I swear by it, and also reccomend to all my friends.
P.S. The instructions on the bottle also say, "Consult a Physician before taking." No one with negative feedback mentions they did so. |

Great Pumps, but not worth it., Oct 30, 2010
|
reviewer: Jeremy from Payson, UT
|
| If you\'re looking for great sustained energy, stronger pumps and mental focus this stuff is great. I have been on it for a little over a year. I am trying to get off it but keep finding myself taking it before my workouts. I really don\'t like to rely on supplements for my workout. Personally I feel better about myself knowing I got through a great workout on my own. this stuff does not work well with your body if you suffer from depression and/or you\'re on antidepressants. I have noticed significantly that it increases irritability/quick to anger and it also worsens my anxiety quite a bit. I took this stuff last night before my workout at about 7:30 pm. Woke up feeling very irritable and anxious. This stuff works great for that pump, but I feel it\'s not worth it in the long run. |

calvin, Oct 29, 2010
|
reviewer: Calvin from usa
|
| My buddy told me to use n.o.explode . I tried one scoop at 1:30 pm just at work and drove home I was buzzing untill 5:30pm.I went to the gym at 8:00pm I was worried about taking a scoop and staying up all night. But my buddy said it would burn off during the workout. Took one scoop and worked out....wow. focus and energy to go further than before .went to failure and paused and did some more. Left the gym at 9:45pm took a shower and went straight to bed , sleep all night no buzzing. Take only one scoop not 2 to 3 like the botlte says and don\'t use on off days. |

For more than a year, Oct 18, 2010
|
reviewer: Hishamovich from Anytown, AT 55555
|
| I have been using no-xplode for more than a year and I suddenly stopped using it (decided to clean my blood) I experienced a severe body weakness, green urine, and green stool I couldn\'t move from bed for three days. I went to ER many times they said your body is detoxifying there nothing we can do. Always cycle out this product and all other products (some products need to do cycle them gradually). Give your body a chance to detoxify ! |

BEASTIN\' OUT WITH XPLODE, Oct 17, 2010
|
reviewer: Nicky Ripped from SF BAY
|
| I have worked out for 13 years now. I realize after much exp and time that for 8 of those years i was lifting inefficiently and dangerously. I recently decided to put on some size and only use Muscle Milk (high caloric content) and NO Xplode. After a 6 month leave of absence from the gym i stepped back into my group of lifter buddies and am holding my own. The pump is great! I feel like the extra blood in my muscles keeps me limber and prevents injury. NO XPLODE |

N.O. Explode---No Doubt, Sep 16, 2010
|
reviewer: Thornley from Caserma Ederle, IT
|
N.o. Explode is no doubt the most advanced kick a** pre-workout supplement on the market. Been training 2 years with the constant pumps and pull-ups like a monkey with a 40 lb plate. Unbelievable right. Been in the Marines since i was 17..Wouldn\'t go a damn day without it. Guaranteed

Think I took too much the first time, Sep 11, 2010
|
reviewer: Chefsid from cincy, ohio
|
| got this product today have been taking bsn cellmass, glutamine, whey protein shakes, amino tablets, and multi vit, took one scoop portion waited 30 minutes didn\'t feel anything, took another scoop portion, started feeling the caffeine soon after, shakes, sweats, then during workout 30 minutes later noticed more reps and stamina in muscles but sweat like a pig, thought I was on speed or coke for a minute, later after workout took my cellmass recovery shake, 45 minutes later protein with glutamine, got a headache had it since 4 hours, will try 1/2 scoop next time if same side effects will return. I have noticed serious gains with just what I was taking before cause I lift like your supposed to. thought this would give me more results not sure will post back after I take it more, if side effects aren\'t that bad with smaller doses, cellmass has the same creatine ingredients without the caffeine, with glutamine (not enough), it is the bomb creatine and recovery drink! I was thinking the nitric (arginine) would help the blood flow I think it did we will see. |

Too Much?, Sep 01, 2010
|
reviewer: Sean A. from Las Vegas
|
So I have been taking NO Xplode for a few months now. Currently, I have been taking 3 scoops 3 times a day. I love the intensity! I love the gains! I rep the F out!
I have been taking the Nitrix 3 pills 3x day in combination. Cell mass was recently introduced into the mix, and protein shakes and high protein meals are my normal diet.
I have noticed that water consumption is the single most important part of using A-AKG and Creatine. For those getting headaches.... This is why! Not enough water...
Unfortunately, my kidneys tend to let me know if I need water.This is my concern if I may possibly be taking too much...?
I rate BSN NO Xplode above anything I have tested to date!

This stuff is the bomb, Jul 14, 2010
|
reviewer: Scott from Calgary, Alberta Canada
|
| I\'ve been lifting for about 7 years now but have restricted my supplementation to protein shakes only. I seem to be feeling tired more often. (I hate getting older) This is my second day on this product and I noticed a huge boost in endurance and focus. This stuff really works. If you are just starting on this product please make sure you start with small dose and work your way up. I would recommend 1/2 scoop to start. They really should make this more clear on the packaging. The first night I tried one scoop and waited a bit and then took another scoop...exactly as directed on the packaging. I started my workout around 9:30 pm after waiting 45 minutes. I felt great during my workout but was up until 3:30AM. Today I reduced the dose and tried one scoop. I still felt great during my workout and am actually feeling tired enough to go to bed after this post. Get to the point you say...the point is that you don\'t need a lot of this stuff to feel the results. Tomorrow I\'m going to try 1/2 scoop. I think most of the negative comments here are simply due to improper dosing. I may change my mind if my head explodes in 4 weeks but for now it seems that dosage is key. |

Good supplement, but not for me, Jul 13, 2010
|
reviewer: Brian from Texas
|
| I started taking NO Xplode after it was recommended by a friend who was a muscle head. I took it and started seeing some pretty good results, I could lift for longer periods of time with more reps. After a couple of weeks are started getting really jittery during my workouts. I couldn\'t sit still, my hands shook (like when you have an adrenaline rush), and I couldn\'t focus. I stopped taking NO Xplode and right away the jitteriness stopped. That was the only side effect I experienced. |

Good stuff, Jul 08, 2010
|
reviewer: Ashley from iraq (us army)
|
| I am on deployment and work long hours so in the morning I was too drained to work out for very long and was miserable the whole time. Half a scoop 10 min before and I am feeling good during my cardio, I could go longer and enjoyed it as well. I work out daily but only take it every couple of days and I can tell that my endurance is increasing even on days I dont take it. I do mostly cardio and it helps a lot with the tiredness I feel from my asthma as well. I haven\'t had any problems with overdoing it as far as my asthma is concerned. Only problem I had is one time I was on the eliptical for 30 min and my HR suddenly dropped to the 80s/90s and stayed that way for 10 min (I was still working out/hadnt stopped). I felt fine though. |

Works in the gym but kills my body., Jul 07, 2010
|
reviewer: FRANK M from Colorado
|
| I work graveyard shifts and i needed something that can help me wake up and go to the gym energized after work. So i bought NO-Explode. This stuff really makes you energized even after your working all night. Honestly i didnt see any improvement at the gym. I feel like i was still lifting the same. I only take 1 1/2 scoops. I experienced very bad chest pains after the 3rd week . All i want to say to others who want to try this, is that this product works BUT i Never felt that pump that EVERYONE always says on the reviews for this product. Honestly its not worth it especially for your body. Yur just killing yourself inside your body using this product. To me pump is all in the head when you hit the gym. "Wanting it for the right reason is the real pump in your heart" Use NO-Shutgun!!!!! |

Headache, Jul 03, 2010
|
reviewer: John from California
|
| I have had the same issue as Mike from Las Vegas below.
After taking this about 8 weeks, I got a terrible sharp headache one day a the gym during a lift, which goes away once my heartrate goes back down.
But now, every time my heartrate goes back up, the headache comes back. I\'ve missed 4 days at the gym now. Pushups at home will cause the headache.
Anyone else? I\'m a bit worried.
Mike, you posted in 2007, what ended up happening with you? I\'m going to see a doctor if this continues. |

|
reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555
|
| ??? I Don\'t know where this guy is getting his sources saying that one scoop contains the same amount of caffeine as 50 cups of coffee. that is equivalent to around 5,000 mg of caffeine. You would probably die in an instant if that were true.. However i do not believe it is. I have read in several places that one scoop of NO Xplode contains about 100mg of caffeine. Not 5,000! |

FOCUS ?? hell yeah dude i was like "the gym is not gonna kill me...i\'m gonna kill the gym"

umm other than that oh yeah TASTE ??
fruit punch is like.....FIZZY KOOLAID LOL yeah its nice and sour but i\'m sure it\'s delicious when fresh so im gonna add ice cold water next time =)
overall: i\'m really happy with this product but i look forward to it\'s real effects in 2 weeks, i want to see those veins burst !!! i want that bigger muscle and i already can tell you....NO XPLODE is gonna get me that boost !!!! OH AND one more thing: the energy??? YES you feel great after workout... you stay sharp and to be honest i wanted to go back in the gym !!
