Haha.. cheesy title.. but it really is quite a product.

I have been using NO-Xplode by BSN for months now. Along with my iPod it has been one of the main factors in me losing over 55 lbs and at least 30 of that was pure fat! Do the research people.. you will find that the fat burning qualities of this product aren't the only benefit. The 'pump' you get is only the beginning. The blend that is within the product allows for sustained workout times, faster recovery and healing of worked outmuscles, higher reps for weight training and even longer cardio sessions.. if you are doing that.. and you always should be.

It has become one of the base supplements that I have added to my routine. As always, you should do the research on anything before you jump into adding it to your body, and with teh internet.. that is NOT a difficult thing to do correctly. Along with BSN Syntha-6 Ultra-Premium Sustained Release Protein Powder, Chocolate Milkshake, 46.56 Ouncesand things like 100% Whey Protein - Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate 5.15 lbs.. and Ultimate Nutrition Arginine Pyroglutamate, 750 mg, 100 Capsules (Pack of 2)I am looking and feeling better than I was 10 years ago at 21.

Doooo it!

I was skeptical about buying this, but I think I might enjoy it with some tweaking. Im not one to use instructions, it's the engineer in me. The first time I used it I had my protein powder before, about 15 minutes before my NO so I didnt feel the rush, much. I also took 2 servings the first time, didnt feel the first and took another 30 minutes later. Ok, second time around I was already feeling pumped and wanted a good workout, ended up taking 3 all at once. End result? Well Ive never used any real stimulants beside caffeine, but I'm guessing the rush I had was similar to speed. Conclusion: follow the directions, drink enough water (if you lift more than 3 times a week and dont drink the 100 ounces they demand then do that for a couple days before to get your body used to the water weight you may have, that will change your results for this) and don't use calcium with it. Yes, that means protein powder (post workout is fine of course). Calcium neutralizes NO in the body, calcium contracts muscle and the NO is what gives you a post workout pump. If you have added calcium then it will contract the muscle squeezing the NO gas from the muscle.

This stuff is the real deal. I've found that the intensity and stamina gains in the gym have been nothing short of remarkable. It's not that I can necessarily lift *more*, it's that my muscles don't seem to get tired as quickly, and they recover much faster in between sets.

If you decide to purchase this product and are serious, be ready to work, because your body will want to. The hard work this product *enables* is what builds the strength and muscle, not simply taking it and waiting.

I spent a decent amount of time in the gym for years and tried this as I felt my workouts needed a kick in the pants, and a friend recommended it. My workouts, once 25-30 minutes, are now a hard driving hour.

If you want numbers, I'm 5'11, and my weight has gone from the low 170s to a solid 190. In four months of hard work, my flat bench sets, which were formerly 10x135, 6x185, 4x205, 12x135 are now 10x135, 10x185, 6x235, 4x255, 6x225, 12x185.

I'd recommend starting with one scoop and going from there. I generally drink mine approximately 15-30 minutes before the workout. Best of luck!

I ordered the blueberry flavor but was shipped Lemon Lime by mistake... I made the mistake of keeping the Lemon Lime thinking I would be a nice guy and try to avoid reshipping and return fees etc. I could not stand the taste of the Lemon Lime, and also it seemed like the powder did not fully dissolve with the water either so I had a somewhat grainy texture. I really tried to drink a full serving (1 scoop worth) and even after forcing myself to try and drink the whole thing I just couldn't, I knew if I took the last two sips I probably would have thrown up.

Obviously since I only took one serving and was so off put by the flavor, I can't speak to any kind of results for the performance this product promises. But I would definitely recommend NOT getting Lemon Lime flavor if you are willing try. Personally I would try buying this type of item again at a local shop that has some kind of satisfaction guarantee/return policy. So with that said I now only buy drink mixes and try at my local GNC. So with that said, I might consider trying this if I can get it locally but definitely in a DIFFERENT flavor.

I really liked the flavor. Really helps me get motivated when I don't want to work out. This is the first bottle I have received that actually said how much caffeine it has in it, which was nice to know.

Let me start by saying I have been enjoying this product immensely over the past few months, so this is more an annoyance then anything else. Been trying to rotate through the flavors and I ordered Blue Raspberry on two separate occasions to have them send me lemon lime in its place. I double checked the order link and it even calls it Blue Raspberry yet its lemon lime I'm drinking. Not sure who is to blame here but a bit annoyed.

Love this stuff though I've been told its best to use as part of a cycle and to cycle it in your routine every other month or so. I love spinning class but it's tough as I go to spinning class 3x a week and still work out in the weight room. So I tend to also work out legs 1 to 2 times a week and it has been really tough to do this. The No-Xplode gave me the energy and strength I've needed to power through both workouts without slacking in spinning class or deciding to take days off from weight training. Big fan!

NO-xplode has been a great pre-workout for me. I have experienced some great gains on it. The flavor isn't the greatest.

My reps are more stable and noticeably more consistent through my sets. Its hard to gauge when your muscles are slowing down because NO-Xplode take you right to the edge of your limit. It allows you to push your muscles harder than you could on your own.

Make sure on workout days, you drink atleast a half gallon of water, more is better. NO-xplode can be rough on kidney and drinking lots of water can prevent that. Also, it is recommended to be followed by a whey protien.

I hate working out... even though I love the results... NO XPLODE makes me want to work out... I've never felt so good.

I havent seen as much effect of it on my lift or muscle but definitely it helps in recovery. Taste is really good.
