N.O. Explode????
Hey i just picked up this stuff at GNC the other day and its called N.O. EXPLODE, by BSN finish first??? i dont know if thats the right brand or not. I've only used it once and it seemed to help. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever used or heard of it. Problems, Concerns, Benifits ETC.

Previous thread results: http://board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=8801 (WFS)
Google Results: XPLODE site:crossfit.com http://www.google.com/search?q=XPLOD...ient=firefox-a (WFS) I have taken it before -- I think it is basically like drinking 2 to 3 cups of coffee (depending on how many scopes you use) and a little creatine before working out. Apparently a few games people used it. I don't expect it to be very popular here because I am pretty sure it is 100% chemicals, nothing natural. |

Re: N.O. Explode????
About three years ago, I took a dose of NO explode on the advice of a friend. I found myself with incredible jitters, extreme restlessness and I could feel and practically hear my own heart beating. There's no way I'd ever risk doing a metcon under the influence of that stuff - the possibilities are far too frightening IMHO.

Re: N.O. Explode????
I know people that swear by this stuff, but count me in the "I'd rather not risk it" boat. Ephedra certainly boosted some performances back in the day, but it also killed a few athletes before it was made illegal. If your goal is performance at all costs, try it and see how it works for you. If your goal is optimal health and longevity, you're probably best off not using it.

Re: N.O. Explode????
Try a cup of cofffe before working out (or enough coffee to get an affect from it). If that helps you, NOExplode will most likely help you, if doesn't not, then NOXplode most likely won't.

Re: N.O. Explode????
I agree about the coffee. A cup of coffee an hour before working out is the best pre-workout energy supplement there is.
There is way too much going on in N.O explode to make me think it is in any way healthy. I used to use it back in my "bodybuilding" days. The first time I thought it was amazing, after a couple of uses I found it did absolutely nothing for me. IMO it is a huge waste of money. If you want something that is going to boost your performance in the gym. Drink a cup of coffee before going and drink your whole milk after. |

Re: N.O. Explode????
I used to "dose" every lifting day with NO Explode. I think, for me at least, it was more about routine.
I can only do it on lifting days. I do it for something like Fran and i feel like my heart will YES Explode. |

Re: N.O. Explode????
N.O. works well for energy, recovery, vascularity ( if that matters to you ) but also makes you feel like you're about to have a heart attack the first few times you take it, plus its $50 bucks a bottle. I take a supplment called REPS made by supplement direct ( http://supplementdirect.com/reps39servpwiblznbb.aspx ) its $10 a bag and is very well made. They make a version w no caffeine as well if you are sensitive. For me it helps me mentally prepare for the workout I am about to do after sitting at my desk for 8 hours.
