I used to work out all through out high school without the use of supplements. I stopped working out a month before I left for basic training and started reducing in strenght and endurance. Recently here on my deployment some friends got me to try this stuff.
Works great for a pre workout boost, and a muscle pump. Truthfully though, you don't really get bigger after the first workout. The pump makes your muscles fill with blood causing you to swell up as you work. This provides nutrients and oxygen to your muscles lessening fatique, and increasing energy. Stacked with HMB pills, BSN Cell Mass and Protein supplements I was able to gain 10 llbs in 3 weeks.
Its not a mirracle drug that makes you just increase overnight. You have to put in the effort to allow this to work. Creatine is a natturally occuring chemical, and this is just a higher (non water retentative) dose of it. You'll increase size, firmness, and endurance with proper exercise and the use of this product. Definately worth the money.

The stuff can seem somewhat pricy (specially on a college budget) but it's well worth it. The taste isn't much to talk about; you're better of just holding your nose and chugging it at once. Then again, weightlifters don't eat supplements for taste do they? I have a huge energy problem, I lack it a lot. Between class and work, I'm usually drained at the end of the day, but this stuff helps me get into the gym and hit it hard. This isn't to say that it won't requre motivation on your part, but it sure helps. During the workout, you may notice an increase in your pump. My muscles felt so tight and big, that I just wanted to lift more and more. By the time I was done, I went to the lockeroom to change and saw a monster in the mirror. I've had great pumps before, but this was insane! It didn't even look like me at all; it felt great. I've been using it for 2 months now and I don't train a day without it. Highly, highly recommended.

I started using this product about two months ago. For those that need that extra boost and focus, this product provides great results. It tastes fairly good (I tried the Blue Raspberry) and is worthy of its hype.

For some, this is going to be a cycle supplement. My body got used to the N.O. after about a month. I stopped taking it for a week, and then went back on it and saw great results. It also made me a little bit gaseous and foams up after you stir it.

Other than that, I did receive a great amount of energy, and it inspired me to workout really hard during my workout. I made sure to follow the instructions, and I did research and took people's advice when taking it. After my workout I used some Muscle Milk for recovery.

It's a great entry supplement into stronger supplements, but is too expensive for people that aren't truly committed.

I've been using this product on and off for years. I love it. I get a great buzz and power through my workouts at the gym. It also acts as an appetite supressant for me, so it is effortless for me to stay on my plan with my diet -- I'm just never hungry and I only eat when and what I'm supposed to.

All that said, this is a STRONG product!!!

Start off with half a scoop about 20 minutes before your workout. If you take too much, this will make you sick. It has thermogenic properties, meaning it will raise your body temperature. You want an energy buzz, you don't want to start sweating like crazy and feel sick and not be able to complete your workout.

For this reason and because it contains creatine, you really should also cycle your use. Meaning, every 2 - 3 months, take a month off. Give your body a break. Creatine use is optimized by cycling. You'll also build up a tolerance to the thermogenic properties in N.O Xplode, so if you want to get the most out of it, you need to take a break, lose the tolerance and start again a month or two later. Also, if you use this continuously, you'll become dependent on it for energy which is also bad -- I only use this product when training intensity is crucial (i.e: pre contest). Oherwise, I leave it alone. I don't use it year round, all the time. BE SENSIBLE. More is almost never better!!!

I only gave it 4 stars because its sickly sweet and I have never liked the taste. The fruit punch is disgusting and blue raspberry is only vaguely tolerable, haha.

As I get older, working out with weights has become more of a chore than I'd like it to be. I was turned onto N.O. XPLODE by a friend going through the same stuff. I have a weightlifting history and have been successful and have also taken long spells off probably like most folks without a corporate sponsor :). Anyway, I started taking this stuff in the Blue Raspberry flavor. First of all, it mixes nicely, without the big chalky chunks left by other products. The texture and taste are ten times better too. When taken as per the instructions, I felt ready to take on more weight than I ever have in the gym. I am now lifting as much as I was lifting in high school twenty years ago! I am really grateful for having found N.O.-XPLODE and recommend it for any regular guy like me trying to get back into consistent lifting shape. I'm a lot better for having used it.

Blue Raspberry is definitely the best flavor, I actually have come to enjoy it. This product works reasonably well, getting you a bit pumped to work out, while not making you feel like your heart is going to jump out of your chest (though it does give me strange tingles on the skin of my arms). All in all, not bad. Make sure you follow the detox regime on the back of the label though... 12 weeks on, 4 weeks off.

I've been using NO-Xplode off and on for about 5 years.

The energy, pump, and focus I receive after taking this is beyond anything I've taken as a supplement.

It's cheapest here, I think it's like 66.99 at GNC!

The main thing here for me is the pre-workout energy I get. If I'm not feeling like working out that day, I'll toss a couple of scoops in a cup and in 15 min I'm doing push-ups for a freakin' pre-workout pre-workout!

It DOES work and the pump and focus are recognizable.

Overall, tremendous product that I would not train without! Buy it!

I took this when my boss offered it before our workout one day. I had tons of extra energy (I don't take any other supplements, protein shakes or caffeine). I worked out an extra 20 minutes and didn't feel tired. So I tried it the next day too. I had a crazy headache and I felt gittery and twitchy. Felt it day 1 too but I thought it was all the energy just built up. Not worth it in my opinion.

I received the product as stated in a timely matter - excellent service as usual from Amazon.com.
This particular product is a good pre-workout supplement, it gives great pumps, however can make you jittery. I also noticed my body gets used to it and I end up taking more.

The product is great! It gives you a push through your entire work out. Only draw back is it takes a while to kick in but have found that if you initiate your work out 30 minutes from taking NO-Xplode then it will work great. Taste is ok but not as tasty as their other products like Syntha-6. The product does somewhat give you the shakes but it's manageable. Reports of the product affecting your stomach is all true. Some discomfort does exist but it does subside as your focus increases throughout the work out. Overall, the product is a good buy and it's worth trying. Results are noticeable after just a few weeks.
