"A Genuine NO Xplode review for you guys"

Hey fellow hardcore trainers!

Well, I’m gonna be bold here! This is a real, no-nonsense NO Xplode review.. I don’t care what Ronnie Coleman says about it. I can’t afford to juice myself up with $60,000 every year, so this review is what a regular (but hard training) guy thinks about NO Xplode.

First and foremost:

  • Are you a gym newbie?
  • Do you have a hazardous health condition? (for eg. High blood pressure)
  • Does your stomach get easily upset?
  • Do you train late afternoon/evening?
  • Are you interested in only “general fitness”? (a.k.a. You don’t care about being stronger, lifting heavier at each workout, or growing thick slabs of muscle).

If you answered yes to any of the above, then I’m sorry to tell you that NO Xplode is absolutely NOT what you need!

Who needs NO Xplode then!??

-You WANT to get bigger, get stronger, but you just can’t seem to add those measly little 2lbs weight plates on the bar – you’ve reached a plateau.

-You WANT to get bigger, get stronger but you just don’t feel like going to the gym. You might toughen it out and go anyway but it just doesn’t feel right..or worse, you lift the same, or less weight than your previous workout session and that too not because your muscles are weak but rather because your mind just doesn’t feel like it – you’ve lost the motivation you had on your first training day.

-You can consistently add 2lbs on the bar every two weeks but you know you can do better! You know you can add the same 2lbs each and every time you workout.

How do I know this..?

Guys, I’ve been working out for 4 years now. After 2 years of consistent training, I reached a whopping rep max of 310lbs on the bench press. Was proud of it! Only that 3 months later, my rep max was still 310lbs..and it didn’t feel that whopping any longer.

My partner told me about NO Xplode. Wasn’t convinced, but he offered me a serving, he saw how mediocre my workouts have been for several weeks due to lack of motivation.

Nothing happened. Nothing, till around 2 – 3 hours after my workout! Felt like I had a mix of Red Bull, Lucozade, Gatorade & glucose. Energy levels like never before.. Yeah, lost the pump.. But my brain was telling me to go to the gym again.. I didn’t – it was just a psychological (and physiological) after-effect, I didn’t want to overtrain. I REALLY wanted to do another training session, I didn’t but I could have.

On the next training session (3 days later, I had a few assignments to submit), I took a serving of NO Xplode 2 hours prior to my training (I already knew that for me, it kicks in after 2 hours). Guess what? Benched 320lbs.. Not a huge increase, but meant a lot to me.

Don’t get me wrong. Together with NO Xplode I had my daily 8 hours of sleep, 6 – 8 meals a day plus my whey shake right after my workouts. NO Xplode didn’t give me my gains.. NO Xplode only greatly helped me achieve them.

On a separate note, I did try Jack3d after my NO Xplode bucket was emptied, just to get a contrast. Jacke3d is good. It contains less chemicals, iteven tasted better but it’s not NO Xplode.. Wasn’t experiencing the same surge of energy. I just had to get back to NO Xplode.

Do NOT shake NO Xplode.. Stir with a spoon

Or shake it..at your own risk! I personally had it burst in my hand. Probably some effervescence (kinda brisk though) or something but unless you fancy a good cleaning, use a spoon..

Rules are meant to be broken – not with NO Xplode

Do yourself a favour, take it in the morning or early afternoon and have it on an empty stomach. You might also want to drink loads of water.

What’s up with the taste man?

Yeah, feels kinda weird.. Coupled with some nasty burps and terrifying farts , you sometimes wish that you had something more “stable”.. But then, stability doesn’t provide you with reckless energy and tunnel-like focus!

Here is what you need to do. Mix it & shove it down your throat!

Should I take it or not?

As I said above, if you want to get big & strong, and be 200% focussed on your workouts, you should give it a try. However, this is the purpose of all pre-workout supplements. And again, this doesn’t, and will never replace proper nutrition and sleep.

Do feel free to try what works best for you, but I personally got VERY good results with NO Xplode – 4 times awarded by the #1 bodybuilding website, bodybuilding.com

Where do I buy NO Xplode?

You can buy NO Xplode in almost every bodybuilding store at your location. The retail price is about $62.99 for a 1.81 lbs tub and $66.99 for the bigger 2.25 lbs tub. If you’re to lazy to go shopping (like me ;) ) and you’re short of money you can save up to 51% and buy a big tub of NO Xplode at www.AllStarHealth.com for $32.39 (2.25 lbs – 50 servings).

They usualy have the best deals on supplements online and they ship for a flat rate of $5.95. Check it yourself by clicking this link www.AllStarHealth.com

Rodney, suit yourself. The FDA does not regulate supplements at all, they can go from someone’s mind to the shelves in as little as 10 weeks, no testing, no extensive background in chemical engineering needed. Many supplement manufacturers have no pedigree in nutrition or exercise science. Pull up Sports Ilustrated’s late issue with Manny Ramirez on the cover, inform yourself. I’m not saying don’t take it, you have to regulate the intake yourself

no Aquarius, normally it would take you two months to recover that month you lost, it’s going to take you the full month if you dose and time NO correctly

I’m studying to be a personal trainer, have been in the marines for 5 years, am a reservist now. I work at an upscale gym in Houston, and my training manager is the head assistant nutritionist and strength trainer for the Houston Astros, the advice i’m posting is from his years of experience and each new “do it all” product. NO does work, you and only you will need to learn to assess your tolerance, any doctor will tell you not to consume it, I and other peers have asked. They’ll also tell you not to drink or smoke habitually. The difference from me only doing 1 scoop on work out days as opposed to 3 on work out day and 1 on non may be compared to the social drinker who allows himself 2 beers every Saturday to the 6 pack a day guy. You are all responsible adults, i’m only an informer

Supplements were created with adults over 21 in mind. Reason being is there’s no affect on growth or development, everyone’s pretty much done around 20, and it’s not about growing taller or bigger, but you’re organs and neuro-connections in your nervous system being fully developed. Take it easy, at most 1 1/2 scoops on work out days and none on resting or cardio days. This stuff was designed to be filtered by adult livers and kidneys, tolerated by hearts at their peak strength.

I’m 40 years old and have been exercising for quite some time without any supplements. I either run or ride my bicycle every other day and lift weights 3 times a week. Before I tried NO explode I never experienced any fatigue during or after my workouts, on the contrary, I always felt very energetic throughout the day. I’ve had no explode 3 times so far and drank a lot of water as suggested and at first I could feel the pump during my work out, but the day after I consumed the product I felt unbelievable tired and experienced major headaches. I’m still trying to pint point the reason for my exhaustion. Yesterday I worked out without having no explode to see how I felt today and today I feel great without any lack of energy and no headaches. My son takes the product and has no problem with it, so I’m thinking that maybe is just me because I am less tolerant towards the product.

E.Fredich… I would say almost with certainty that your headaches and energy crashes are being caused by the large amounts of caffine in this product. I’m not sure how much caffine, but its ALOT.. fully loaded. Your symptoms are classic to someone who is coming off a big caffine high. Of course, other ingridences may be causing your issues but id say its the caffine. Drinking large amounts of water will not help you if this is the case. Are you sesenative to caffine ususally? Not a coffee drinker prehaps?

has anyone noticed a big drop in sex drive after taking NO Explode for a few months? I think the product is amazing, but loss of libido is causing some concern. I’ve heard the same complaint from a number of NO Xplode users. I’m 40 and have had my testosterone levels checked, and they are still the higher side of normal for my age.

Reply

45 E. Fredich June 1, 2009 at 2:54 pm

Rodney. L….. You might be right as far as the caffeine. I drink 3 to 4 cups of coffee every day and if on top of these I’m adding more caffeine by drinking NO Explode, I think that’s probably what’s causing my headaches. It’s just too much caffeine in my body. I’ll try eliminating the coffee during my mornings to see if the side effects are gone. Thanks

Football mom the ingrediants in this product have a short half life therefore do not stay in your system too long upon stopping taking it only about 3 or 4 days. You really should not let younger kids (under 18) take such strong supplements. I use this product with no problems. Your son should stick to a good multi vitamin and a good protein shake. And of course a high protein diet about 2 grams per body pound.

50 mike mussone June 7, 2009 at 5:08 pm

as far as the caffine goes, caffine is one of those drugs with a shelf. That means the body will only react to so much about 300 mg. before the rest is waste. Unlike narcotics ( morphine, percocet etc) you can take enough to kil you the body will process all you put in.

51 kkfan June 8, 2009 at 2:26 am

its a good pre-workout supplement, really boosted my energy, cant say more abt the product being my first day of using it, i suggest to take it ONLY on workout (gym) days, with WHEY as post workout supplement and casein in the night for seeing more results. its my view that body recovers when u r resting (thats when u sleep) and casein is best slow releasing protein. i m doing the same, will keep this post updating.

Sue, If your son is effected you will sue the company?? Pull your head out. If you think it’s bad don’t let him take it. Be a parent and don’t blame somebody else for your lack of control.

53 footballmom June 9, 2009 at 3:44 pm

My son is no longer taking this supplement. He has to see a cardiologist due to LVH caused by high blood pressure. I strongly feel this has caused his high blood pressure with the mass increase in muscle. I would NEVER recommend this product to anyone. I never said I was blaming anyone else but when you have trainers “pushing” this product and saying how well they like it and are happy with the results and that it is safe for you….is it really???

54 footballmom June 9, 2009 at 3:47 pm

My son was almost 16 when he started taking it. He is 5′10″ and weighed roughly 180 before taking it. After 4 mos he weighs 205 lbs and is benching over 300 and squating 400 lbs.

55 Trainer Andy June 10, 2009 at 8:06 am

First of all let me give you my background. I’m personal trainer with a bachelors in Exercise Science who has recently entered the nursing profession.

1) I would NEVER advise anyone under the age of 18 to begin any supplement regimine more involved than a simple protein shake (and that is often NOT needed since 99.9% of americans receive adequate protein…and consuming more than you need makes expensive “waste” ). The media has us convinced that we need it. The ONLY time I reccomend ANYONE take a protein supplement is when it’s not convenient or easy to eat 1hr after a work out (the time when protein is most readily absorbed).

2) NO Xplode CAN increase your risk of heart attack because it is a stimulant! The rush you feel kicking in is a product of the caffeine (and possibly other ingredients) kicking in your fight or flight response. Any stimulant can increase your risk of heart attack….you don’t need to be a Dr. to figure that one out Rodney L.! Robert Torres….I got your back man…you are actually toting some relevent knowledge! The FDA does not regulate supplements….that is why they can make the radical claims they do. Also the FDA will not get involved until there are deaths, or serious adverse effects reported. Supplements can be extremely dangerous for this reason. Anyone who claims otherwise is either uneducated, gullible, or selling products themselves!

3) Caffeine may indeed have a “shelf” (more apropriatly called a ceiling) but it is much higher than 300mg if that is the case. That is the roughly 2 1/2 cups of coffee. Drink that and then drink a few more…you WILL notice a difference. I can almost gurantee that one serving of NO has at least 200mg (2 cups of coffee, or one caff pill). So if this ceiling is only 300 you would not get such a greater rush when you take more. There aer much safer supplements out there to take…especially concerning the demographic I’m seeing in here (High School kids and 40+).

Now that i have that out of the way…..I am currently taking NO( 1 scoop before a work out), but have decided to stop until I after I run my next 1/2 marathon. I was having some compartment syndrome in my tibialis anterior that made running difficult and I feel it MAY BE directly related to the vasodilation that occurs when you take this supplement. Other than that I feel it is a great supplement. Some of the claims on here are a bit laughable….as they are in most forums, but you will see gains (if the rest of your training is sound). Just don’t expect to put on 20lbs ( that gain is more a product of being 16 and growing) or your bench to go up 80lbs in 7 weeks (can anabolic steroids even do that?). That is a flat out lie…unless you have never lifted, or you are counting the weight on a cybex machine (yes, some people actually count that =) ).

56 Ed June 30, 2011 at 2:14 am

Yea…..juice can do that. I haven’t worked out in 2 years, and started back 5 weeks ago. The first time I worked out I was struggling with 135lbs for 8 reps on the Bench….5 weeks later reppin out 225 for 10 like its easy. Lil Cyp and a lil Poise, and a lot of Protien and Water. Muscle Memory may have something to do with my enormous gains as well….not sure.

57 Roberto Torres June 10, 2009 at 3:08 pm

Trainer Andy, thanks dude. This forum isn’t about being right or wrong guys, just passing info to all, like it or not, your call. I finished out my supply of NO and also have taken up running in the past couple of weeks, i’m steadily progressing, getting my legs back, lol, i have packed on 20 lbs since going reserves, half muscle, half gut, lol. This product nor steroids can make your bench jump over 100 lbs in a couple of months, outrageous claims. Keep taking NO at the rate the manufacturer suggests and you might not be around in a year to tell us how you’re doing. They tell you to consume that much so that you’ll go through it faster and therefore you buy more of it frequently, aka moving their product. Don’t forget, tobacco companies used to claim their products didn’t cause cancer… Do you believe everything you read on those labels? I’m not the one getting paid here to sell supplements, I’m the non-profit guy telling you to think outside the box and do research before diving in.

I took this for the first time today. I took it at 2:00pm and worked out at 2:45pm. I noticed my heart racing like I had taken too much caffeine. I had zero expectations for this product. My first three sets were unspectacular. Then for the rest of my workout, I noticed that not only was I stronger, but I had way more stamina. I could have even worked out longer, but I was on a time budget. I will say that I got a great workout – much better than normal. But I HATE how it made me feel. It is 7pm and my heart is still racing. For some people, the side effects may be less, or they may be willing to live with them. As good a workout and as strong as I was, I can’t handle 5 or 6 hours of a racing heart. My only suggestion – try a scoop or two of a friend’s if possible before you buy this.

Would anyone (that knows for sure) recommend a 69 yr. old weight lifter that has had bi-pass surgery three years ago use this product(no-xplode)? Power lifters at the gym rave about it and say I should try it.I do compete in power lifting competitions and like all of us want to get stronger.
