Not meaning to be crude but,i've heard it makes you pee alot??

I've heard it is great, but this is my only concern.

nubbintom

So what can you expect from No Xplod if used? anyone try?

yomchi

There is also a new product similar to NO Xplod, called simply Xplode. Fruit punch flavour. Anyone tried it yet?

I've tried it. I take three scoops. I have been using it for the past week and a half. For me, it gave me loads of energy, i can't sit still, i need to be doing excercise and it also gave me an awful lot of focus down the gym. I did get insane pumps and since using it I have been constantly moving up in weights used. Tends to be about 5 lbs the past week in my dumbbells used. For example, lateral raises, i would have been doing 3 sets of 12 using 8kg but I am now doing 3 sets of 12 using 10kg dumbbells.

Same said for the wide grip pull down, was generally using 56kg's as the weight but now up to 63.

So basically progress being made and quickly...i will admit some days i use it are better than others in terms of energy and focus but then again, this could be due to the fact that I have been going to the gym and doing an intense workout 6 times a week so that may explain it.

darraghw

i know there is also a NO product now available from the irish company, nutrition-x.

has anyone tried the BSN nitrix?

its not bad stuff!

i had been previously bulk ordering my AAKG, decided to give Nitrix a go. The only thing is that swallowing what are horse pills can be a pain...i've had worse though.

they claim to have a controlled release formulation incorporated into the dose...personally i didn't notice a huge difference between it and the bulk AAKG...tho the pump, once hit, does last a touch longer.

I did find that it took a week or so to get the full effect

Yeh it's X-plode. Its not bad stuff at all. I think it tastes better than NO Xplod
as far as NO products go -its tastes quite nice. Fruit punch is the only one available at the min

Gillo

How is it taken??

Normally I have food, between 1 and 3 hours before the gym, when would I have it.

yomchi

important its taken on an empty stomach, the NO Xplod didn't sit well with me on an empty stomach. The X-Plode wasn't bad but the taste is a bit course but nicer than NO Xplod.

darraghw

If your taking the xplode, would it be safe to use bsn nitrix aswel?

Mickk

They (bsn) reccommend that you take all three, no-xplode, nitrix and cellmass but I dont really see the point. I would say either no-xplode or you could take cellmass (creatine ethyl ester malate) and nitrix (no booster). No-xplode has creatine ethyl ester malate and no booster so whats the point?

darraghw

ive being taking the nutritionX xplode the past 3 days, on an empty stomach, 45 mins befor training and its had no affect on me at all. so i was hoping maybe the nitrix would give me an extra boost.

That's the problem right there probably. Maybe try the original no-xplode from BSN instead of some rip off company. I had an absolutely savage workout today on bsn no-xplode. It really is the ****.


One of my mates who uses it is completely dependant on it now...it's insane. He has run out of it and is waiting for a new tub to arrive and he went to the gym the other day and just wanted to go home because he just didn't have the energy to do it...and he told me today that his friend had the same feeling who is also waiting on a new tub to arrive so now he just does pushups and situps when he goes to the gym because he just doesn't want to do weights unless he is on no-xplode. Insane! If i got like that, i'd stop for a week just to see what I would be like.

LOL There is no 'original'. There is no patent on ingredients. N.O is N.O - In fact Xplode carries BCAA's to prevent muscle breakdown during exercise something this BSN product doesn't. Other than that the ingredients are the same.. original lol. Oh and BTW Xplode is cheaper..so where's the rip off?

To become dependant on any product to do a bit of training is sad, and shows how weak (in a mental sense) and addicted a person can be become. I would seriously help your friend get back to normal as soon as possible dude.

Dragan

I completely agree with Jon, it is pretty sad to think that someone can convince themselves they are "depenadant" on any supplement to get a decent workout.

I trialed X-plode for Nutrition X and found it to be a very decent product, gave me a nice added boost throughout my workout, nothing jittery or any of that crap just a nice steady boost of energy.

To me though, supps are just there to work through plateaus and the only thing i feel you should need to take on a daily basis is protein.

Once again though, that is just me. I would worry about any of my friends who became so dependant on something they couldn't turn it on for a decent workout without that product.

Think of supplements as a way to boost what you should be able to do at the drop of a hat. If you need to take a shake before your workout just to make yourself do it, then you need to re-evaluate your diet and workout plan.

He just enjoys his workouts more when on it. Gotta be a mental thing but that whole energy vibe you get is really addictive.

Nah, that just means that want to patent whatever blend of ingredients they use so people can't just flat out copy it.

Simply fact is that arginine supplementation ( no supps ) has been around for a long time and is really starting to come into it's own.

Besides, Patent Pending means it is not patented, it doesn't actually mean they have applied for patent ( one of those tricky marketing terms you see ). I'm sure they have put it also doesn't mean the patent will be awarded to them.

As far as i am aware, the last great supps patent was Kre-Alkylyn with regards to actually being some kind of major advancement, everything else is really just people trying to patent blends.

However, simply fact is the the pump itself does nothing if your not backing it up.

What ya mean if your not backing it up? Do you mean like not lifting enough?

Dragan

cheesedude wrote:

The lifting and the diet. All products like X-plode, No-xplode etc do is really provide a brief boost to your workout, but you still have to make sure your lift as much as you can with proper form, have a good workout split, rest properly, have your diet down to t etc.

I'm not saying that supps don't help, they really, really do, but you need to have everything else in order to get the true benefit of them.

For example, products like no-xplode provide l-arginine supplementation. What this does is expand and dialate blood vessels, allowing more blood into the working muscle and causing a "pump". However, the pump itself does nothing as this can already be acheive by training properly for most trainers. However, due to the greater blood flow to the worked muscle recover can be greatly enhanced as long you take in the right nutrients etc after your workout.

Everything works in tandem and when you find the right balance your gains will follow.:D

Hey Mick.

I don't think ethyl ester needs a booster. Thats why its not added. It reacts differently with the cell than monohydrate which needs the delivery.

darraghw

well im just saying from my experience of the last week xplode did nothing for me except leave a bad taste in my mouth!

i wonder are some people amuine to it?

LegacyUser

Well if you are still interested, i would recommend the BSN version...i mean different things for different people. No point using it if it's not working. If i became immune to anything, i'd either try another product or else cycle off it for a while and then go back to it.

Thanks, yeah i think i will try the bsn stuff. Annoying after wasting €50 for 4 servings of the nutrition x stuff!

I'll gladly buy it off you for €40. I think its great stuff. Before you go wasting anymore money remember its the same ingredients as NO Xplod. The glossy red tub doesn't make it work any different.
Let us know how you get on

Gillo

I've used it twice so far and found it great.

Yesterday was the first time, I took it at 5:30 (Normally start in the gym between 6:15 and 6:30) within 30 minutes I felt real psyched up and ready to go (nearly like coming up on pills(no I'm not recommending drugs in the gym, but tht's the easiest way to describe it)). The workout was a little bit better than usual, but having said that I've been to the gym twice in the last 3 weeks as I've had way too much on so it shuld of really been a hard slogh.

Today, for the last set of rep's on each machine I added an extra 5 - 10 kilo's and not a bother.

Tomorrow, I'm on a day off work so i'm gonna really try pushing myself and see how it works.

Have to say I bought it from MickK in the Supplement Store, really nice guy and helpful with information, I'd definetly recommend him if you are looking for supplements.

My mate tried xplode and it had no effect on him but the BSN stuff did. Just found out tonight down the gym so i say it is worth a go.

yeah man its yours, pm sent.

I know its the same ingredients and i dont want to buy in the hype of it so a friend is going to let me try out some of his first befor i purchase or i might give the nitrix ago either.

SpAcEd OuT

its quite annoying the way you can't eat and hour before taking it and you have to take it an hour before the gym meaning you cant eat for 2 hours before you go to the gym

New formula no-xplode has patented ingredients in it.

Mickk

Jon, I actually ment by "no booster" a nitrix oxide booster in the form of aakg (arginine alpha keto glutarate).
My point was that no-xplode has both aakg and ceem (creatine ethyl ester malate), nitrix has only aakg and cellmass has only ceem...
All three are the same price so no-xplode seems the best buy.

Anyone know if the nutritionx product has regular monohydrate or ethyl ester in it? Also what else is in the nutritionx product?

yomchi

Xplode, has creatine ethyl ester in at, also Arginine AKG (obviously!), Glutamine AKG and other BCAA's also.

As you know, the guy behind the product knows his stuff

Mickk

Yep I know eamonn well and yea he knows his stuff. 1 word of warning, always pay him on time, he will hunt you down and break your legs. Ask Jack McCrack Sack, he is a well known competitive bodybuilder who has done more competitions than eamonn...

Yeh Mickk in the Supplement Store has is it. So does Jon at www.pronutrition.ie

www.nutritionconnection.ie are doing a deal and are selling it for €40. The website is grand to buy off, but the other two lads are a lot nicer to deal with.

themanwithaplan

Hey man,
I sent you message a few minutes ago bout buying some of the ON whey off you-still selling the No-explode??can't buy it here anymore, and I haven't got a credit card to get online.Would be greatly appreciated.

quirkster

no explode is illegal in ireland, no shotgun is a legal product and is much better than no explode.
ive done tubs of both over the last year and shotgun way surpasses no explode.

tbh i wouldnt bother with nutritionconnection, they are WAY to overpriced.

check out the prices on universalnutrition.ie, theyre based in dun laoighre and make nutrition connection prices seem ridiculous

themanwithaplan

how is it feckn illegal?? could they actually charge you if caught in possession of it??

themanwithaplan

Well any way if anyone knows a place (not online, as I said I haven't a credit card, and my parents don't trust buying ANYTHING online after friend's been scammed)I can get a decent NO product at a decent price would be appreciated
